Xbee Enzyme Biotechnology

A package of natural enzymes

Dr. Shinji Makino, PhD, has discovered a package of natural enzymes with specific effects on liquid petroleum-derived fuels: diesel, gasoline, heating fuel, marine diesel, heavy fuel oil, biofuel, and others. They have developed the formula for the additive now known as Xbee®.
Xbee® enzyme technology, marketed in the Americas as Soltron®, has been satisfying users throughout the world since 1995. They have been effectively treating their fuels in highly varied domains: public services and communities, railways, fishing boats, merchant vessels, and specialized watercraft, agriculture, public works, road haulage, public transport, etc.

Xbee enzyme operating mode

If we needed to summarize the Xbee® fuel additive’s action in a single phrase, we could say that the effect of this biotechnology is to clean and purify fuels in a natural and sustainable way.
The enzymes contained in the Xbee® fuel additive weaken the structure of hydrocarbon molecules in fuels, particularly polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), facilitating the carbon reaction and oxygen absorption during combustion limiting the formation of residues and carbon particles with more complete combustion.

Using the Xbee fuel additive day-to-day

The equipment needed will depend on use and requirements.
For a single vehicle, a pleasure boat, or any other low-consumption engine, simply using an Xbee® dosing bottle is sufficient.
Simply pour the required dose of Xbee® fuel additive in the tank before filling with fuel. For a fleet of heavy vehicles (trucks, buses, tractors, etc.) or for an internal fleet with a storage tank connected to an internal service station... Read more


Enzyme catalysis

Xbee® is an enhancing agent for organic fuels developed many years ago combining biotechnologies and enzyme technologies.

Enzymes
An enzyme is a protein naturally produced by all living cells. It comes in the form of a polypeptide chain with a fold in a specific place. This gives the enzyme its catalytic power – accelerating chemical reactions... Read more


Technical Questions


Who makes Xbee?

The enzyme concentrate was designed in a Japanese laboratory by Dr. Shinji Makino’s team. The
Xbee® end product is produced by Solpower Corporation which holds the international production rights. This company is based in California in the United States.

What are Xbee’s benefits?
First of all, it improves fuel quality. Then, it completely cleans your tank or reservoir, as well as the entire injection system and engine, including exhaust. As a direct consequence of this cleaning, water is eliminated...

Xbee Bio-additive  for all  fuels of all  ships

Product issued of biotechnology  based upon  natural active principles of enzymes extracted from leaves, the Xbee bio-additive has a robust commercial experience in the maritime sector of more than 10 years;
It is applicable at 1 to 4000 (1 liter of Xbee for each 4000 liters of fuel) to all  fuels (Diesel, MDO, light and heavy fuel oils) of all ships: cable ships, tug boats, fishing vessels (trawlers and tunny boats), dredgers, freighters, ferries...

Recognized by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) as substantially similar to a fuel and analyzed by DNV - Det Norske Veritas - as being totally free from chemical components, the Xbee bio-additive strictly complies with quality norms currently in force (EN228, EN590, ISO 9217 analyses made by Intertek Caleb Brett laboratory) hence ensuring full compliance with engines manufacturers warrantee conditions.

Xbee allows:

- A better maintenance of ships and a longer life of engines: clean tanks, elimination of muds and bacteria, a more complete combustion producing a better engine yield and the elimination of carbon deposits
- A substantial reduction of the pollution: much less emissions of CO2, CO, Nox and particles in the atmosphere.
- An economy of overconsumption, both on fuel and lubricant.
