The current Carbon credits have been generated in the state of Texas by commercially treating 8.5 billion gallons of diesel fuel with verified reduction of 5.41% of CO2 emissions and 40% reduction of particulate matter emissions. Expansion plans throughout the United States are now underway. The Voluntary Carbon Credits can be generated globally.

Yes, Viscon has been producing diesel fuel additives in accordance with CARB and Texas Low Emissions Diesel (TxLED) programs since 2010 and has commercially treated over 8.5 billion gallons of diesel fuel in that time period resulting in generating approximately 4.400,000 carbon offset credits since being certified.

Approximately 4,400,000 carbon offset credits are available now in which Viscon can create up to 1,000,000 new credits per year and scale commensurate with future customer sales.

2009-2022 credits are available. Viscon has never issued any carbon credits in its history nor has any party laid claim to carbon offsets generated as a result of using Viscon's fuel additive.

Viscon carbon credits are now available for purchase.

Viscon technology originated in a research program for the Department of Defense. The objective was to develop compounds that reduce explosion hazards with jet fuel. Further investigation revealed Viscon greatly improved combustion and reduced engine temperatures.

The Viscon fuel additive is used to improve air/fuel mixture preparation which is normally addressed by engineers modifying engine hardware. Viscon’s technology modifies the fuel’s physical properties, rather than fuel chemistry. The inventors of Viscon discovered that diesel fuel’s physical behavior stands in the way of optimizing air/fuel mixture in diesel engines and devised a way to modify the behavior.

No. The active ingredient of Viscon is a food-grade polymer used in products like chewing gum. It is not miscible in water and will not contaminate our groundwater. Viscon is a pure hydrocarbon and is thus exempt from EPA fuel additive registration.

Total treatment costs should be on the order of pennies per gallon of fuel treated. When you add other positive aspects such as extended engine life, reduced overall maintenance costs and better fuel mileage, the cost of treatment will be substantially reduced.

Ninety-five percent of the vehicles using Viscon improve their mileage. Some temporary reductions may occur while the engine computer adjusts the air/fuel ratio. Since Viscon is a powerful cleaning agent, mileage and performance will continue to improve as deposits are eliminated from the engine.

Viscon will widen the tuning tolerance of any engine. Viscon has been demonstrated to allow increased spark advance before knock. Therefore, a small advance in spark can be used to improve mechanical efficiency of your engine.

8,085 gallons of Viscon per day. Sufficient to treat 20,697,600 gallons of diesel per day.

The octane number of a fuel denotes its ability to resist pre-ignition combustion. Combustion gas temperature has a direct relationship on an engine’s cetane/octane requirement. Viscon reduces combustion gas temperature and reduces the engine’s cetane/octane requirement.

Small additions of Viscon to the fuel provide considerable additional horsepower and torque while the efficiency of burn improves. It is a far superior alternative to MTBE and it will not contaminate our ground water.

Viscon is a pure hydrocarbon, and as such is exempt from EPA regulations. In accordance with the EPA registration requirements for fuels and fuel additives, “‘additive’ means any substance other than one composed solely of carbon and/or hydrogen.”

Cold starts are complicated by the reduced vaporization of fuel in a cold engine. The result is insufficient fuel in the cylinder to support proper combustion. During cold starts, a considerable percentage of fuel wets intake and cylinder walls. By reducing wall wetting through the viscoelastic properties it imparts on fuel, Viscon improves the mixing of fuel with air which in turn improves engine starting.

Viscon reduces the Sauter mean volume diameter of sprayed fuel. It also makes droplet size distribution across an injector spray cone more uniform. Finally, Viscon causes the mass of fuel to be more evenly distributed across the spray cone.

Cycle-to-cycle combustion variability causes most engine vibrations. By improving the air/fuel mixing, variations in the quantity of fuel and efficiency of in-cylinder burns decrease. Viscon improves the uniformity of the air/fuel mixture thus causing less erratic combustion that causes most engine vibrations.

Viscon does not cause either short term or long term harm to gasoline or diesel engines. Viscon is a pure hydrocarbon. The active ingredient, a long-chain hydrocarbon, burns into a gas and leaves no residue. The polymer in Viscon has been used in gasoline and diesel fuel in a shorter molecular form for more than fifty years.

Viscon improves both the volumetric efficiency of an engine, and the uniformity of fuel species distribution in the cylinder at ignition and during burn. It is well known that increased volumetric efficiency increases torque. Less well known is that a more uniform distribution of the light and heavy ends of fuel in the mixture at ignition and during burn increases the speed of flame propagation. The result is better conversion of the fuels energy to mechanical energy and increased torque.

Viscon is a spin off of work to make an aircraft fuel that would not explode when a fuel tank is hit by a projectile or when an airplane fuel tank is ruptured in a crash. It was discovered at that time that addition of a high molecular weight polymer to jet fuel eliminated the black cloud of smoke associated with ignition of misted jet fuel in a crash. Follow on work demonstrated that the polymer changed the physical properties of a sprayed fuel, improving the uniformity of droplet size and distribution, and modifying its vaporization behavior.

Smoke is generally a sign of incomplete combustion of the fuel (unburned hydrocarbons). Viscon causes fuel to burn more completely in two and four cycle gasoline and diesel engines reducing the amount of unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust.

Viscon does not contain any caustic chemicals, and therefore will not damage paint.

Putting more than twice the recommended amount of Viscon in your fuel may negate the effects of Viscon. This dosage will not harm your engine, but you may not see any benefits. Too much Viscon in fuel negates the effect of extensional viscosity in fuel.

No. Most catalytic converters suffer damage when they are overheated or are subjected to chemicals that bind with and neutralize their catalysts. Since Viscon is a 100% hydrocarbon, and therefore, does not introduce any harmful chemicals to a catalytic converter.

Yes. Viscon will work just as well in both.

In some cars, the oxygen sensor, which feeds back to the engine control module, will cause the engine to idle higher. After about a tank of fuel, the injection system will recalibrate itself and idle as it was without Viscon.

Viscon is a formulation of pure hydrocarbons which is completely compatible with diesel fuel systems and diesel engines. A different form of the active ingredient in Viscon has been used in diesel fuel for more than fifty years.

The efficiency of combustion in both diesel and gasoline engines is controlled by the properties of the air/fuel mixture in the cylinder at the time of ignition and during burn. In both engines the physical behavior of the fuel following injection effects the uniformity of the air/fuel mixture. By modifying a fuel's physical properties Viscon makes diesel and gasoline air/fuel mixtures more uniform, improving combustion efficiency in both.
