MSAR is an alternative to heavy diesel fuel oil used by ships and elsewhere

Quadrise Fuels International PLC (LON:QFI) said it has now completed a pilot trial of its alternative diesel fuel, MSAR, at an international chemical group customer’s plant in Morocco.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions in Morocco have been eased, which has allowed access to the plant, it noted. 

Detailed plans are now being discussed for an industrial-scale MSAR trial at another of the client’s sites that will start in early 2021 ahead of commercial-scale phase 2 trials. This new industrial-scale trial is intended to demonstrate the wider potential of MSAR, Quadrise added.

In a statement, Mike Kirk, Quadrise’s chairman said the customer it is working with in Morocco is a  material consumer of fuel oil'.

"Feasibility studies are simultaneously being completed under phase 2 as previously reported, that together with the planned industrial-scale trials announced today, will demonstrate the wider potential for MSAR use at the client's sites and more widely in the industrial sector,” he added.
