Recognized by engine manufacturers



One of the initial areas of research regarding
Xbee® was to ensure the biotechnology’s compatibility with all types of engines.
For light and heavy vehicles (cars, lorries, buses, construction vehicles, farming vehicles, etc.),
Xbee® complies with standards established by the CEC.
The Co-ordinating European Council’s goal is to develop performance tests for fuels, lubricants, and other fluids. This European benchmark organization is approved by more than fifty automobile manufacturers, oil companies, and oil manufacturers. Prodrive, a laboratory based in England, ran two of its tests on the
Xbee® enzyme biotechnology. CEC F-23-A-01 for diesel engines and CEC F-05-A-93 for petrol engines.


The approach in the maritime sector is different in so far as marine engine manufacturers are very strict regarding the use of additives in their engines. The Xbee® fuel additive was first subject to a composition analysis by the DNV. Det Norske Veritas is an international risk management service provider, whose in-depth analysis of the Xbee® biotechnology’s chemical composition demonstrated that this enzyme-based product presents no danger to engines or their components. 

On the strength of this assurance, some engine manufacturers such as Wärtsilä Finland Oy and its Swiss subsidiary responsible for 2-step engines, as well as Caterpillar Motoren GmbH for its Cat and MaK engines, have drafted letters of either non-objection or recommendation based on their certitudes.

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.
