Re:  ILFC - 1035 Burn Rate Modifier

Having reviewed the performance of ILFC - Ten 35 for the last 7 months, it appears to improve burner efficiency and heat output with the fuel oil we are currently using.

We took our oil storage tank out of service in February for routine inspection and repairs. We found approximately 1.5 to 2 feet of sludge build-up in the bottom of the tank which indicates, to some degree, our oil quality, during this period we were unable to use ILFC - Ten 35 and our usage rate was up an average of .35 gallons per ton.

Since new management has come to South Pierce we have changed several operating parameters. One of those parameters is system temperature, which we raised to help improve product hardness. Previous history indicates that the plant was some what rate limited due to the burners ability to generate enough heat. While using ILFC Ten 35 we have not experienced any problems generating enough heat at high production rates.

Stack testing was done in march for compliance, with no major problems. Hyrdro-carbons and fluorides were low.

During my 7 months at South Pierce we have had no down time related to fuel oil problems or burner gun problems created by the fuel oil.

In conclusion I believe that ILFC Ten 35 has made a significant difference in the operation of the burner and plant operations at the South Pierce GTSP plant.
