Mediterranea Pitiusa (Trasmapi) has used XBEE since 2010 to clean up diesel

Founded in 2000, the company Mediterranea Pitiusa operates a ferry service (Lineas Express and Lineas Jet) between the islands of Pitiusa, Ibiza and Formentera.

Attentive to take care of the environment in which its ships operate, the company started using the best diesel fuel additive XBEE in June 2010.

The results as reported by Jaime Ferrer, technical director, are as follows:

  • The Blau de Formentera reduced its fume emissions considerably, after 500 hours of operation with the best diesel additive XBEE. On the other hand, we noticed a different smell from the fumes at the beginning of the treatment, which disappeared after 300-400 hours.
  • The reduction of fumes was even more spectacular in the Illa Pitiusa, as the fumes have almost disappeared after 200 hours.
  • As for the Menorca Express, we found that after 500 hours of operation with XBEE, its tanks were clean and its fume emissions were drastically reduced.

You have to keep in mind that every year we clean them (the fuel tanks), but this year after using the XBEE they have come out much cleaner than in previous years.
