Bredenoord starts with the Clear Concept
Bredenoord offers its customers the choice; for example a choice for reliable energy with less emission. This is why Bredenoord, as the first player in the in the market, has started a new concept.Generators that have been equipped with the Clear Air self-cleaning soot filter and that run on on synthetic GTL diesel. The usual reliable energy, but with less emission!
What is the Clean Air?
The Clear Air is a self-cleaning soot filter, developed and patented biy Bredenoord. The filter reduces the soot emission by a staggering 99.9%, is user-friendly and has become a low-maintenance product (TUV 2009).

What is GTL diesel?
GTL diesel stands for Gas To Liquid diesel oil. It is a synthetic diesel fuel that is produced from syngas by means of the Fischer Tropsch synthesis process. For example, syngas (CO and H2 could be produced from natural gas. Characteristically, GTL diesel is a very pure form of diesel. The GTL diesel, used by Bredenoord in its generators, is produced from the so-called flare gas. This is gas, given off during the recovery of oil, and until recently had usually been disposed of by combustion in the open.
In addiotion it may be produced from biomass in the future, it will the be called BTL. The use of BTL fuel is climate sustainable because during its combustion the amount of carbon emission equals the amount of carbon that is produced during the growing of biomasses such as trees of crops.
GTL diesel oil is generally considered to be an importent step in the sustainabillity process of fuel, in particular for mobile applications ans complies with the Bredenoord vision on energy.
What are the advantages of GTL diesel?
The Bredenoord generators can run trouble-free on the GTL diesel. We summarize the advantages for you:
- GTL diesel contains no sulphur and sulphur-containing compounds;
- No smell of diesel;
- No aromatics;
- Less emission of dangerous substances;
- The fuel is biologically degradable and therefore does not have tot comply to the Agreement of carriage of Dangerous goods by Road (ADR);
- Could be produced from different sources: flare gas, natural gas, biomass.
Clear Concept; energy with less emission
Bredenoord provides generators for every type of demand for energy. And now with the Clear Air system as an option. By using it in combination with GTL diesel you have the guarantee of a mobile power supply with the usual flexibility and reliability in combination with the lowest local emission possible.
