Introduction
Dorf Ketal develops its fuel additives through research, testing, and customer feedback. They utilize advanced technologies and methodologies to identify the needs of different fuel types, engines, and applications and create unique additive formulations to meet those needs.
Some of the latest innovations from Dorf include:
- Emissions Reduction Additives: Dorf has developed a range of additives that can reduce harmful emissions from gasoline and diesel engines, including particulate matter, NOx, and CO2.
- Last generations of Deposit Control Additives: Dorf’s deposit control additives help prevent the buildup of deposits in fuel injectors, intake valves, and combustion chambers, which can lead to reduced engine performance and increased emissions.
- Fuel Stabilizers: Dorf’s fuel stabilizers help prevent fuel degradation during long-term storage, which can lead to poor engine performance, fuel system corrosion, and other issues.
- Anti-Wear Additives: Dorf’s anti-wear (anti-friction) additives help protect engine components from wear and damage, prolonging engine life and reducing maintenance costs.
Redefining Fuel Efficiency
Fuel economy is becoming to be the most important measure of performance. This is brought about by greater demand for more tangible benefits from motorists or end-users, as well as increasing concerns about climate change and the reduction of emissions. While detergent additives are known to deliver fuel economy, such a benefit is achieved only after cleaning up the vital engine parts.
The milEx|mph performance fuel additive technology considers additional functionalities in addition to standard detergency performance. Innovations in our product development now allow us to design and customize packages that consider local fuel quality and conditions. We offer standard detergent chemistries, but we have developed novel chemistries beyond detergents that deliver instantaneous and significant fuel economy and performance benefits.
Overall, Dorf’s commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction has led to the development of a wide range of advanced fuel additives that can improve engine performance, reduce emissions, and extend engine life.
Going beyond simple technical assistance. “Fuel Doctor Program”
Fuel Doctor Program by milEx|mph Performance Fuel Additives is a structure specially designed to develop solutions to any problems related to fuel quality and performance. We have fuel specialists with vast experience in additive formulation development and molecular synthesis.
Once created, these additives are subjected to the most rigorous quality and performance tests under different conditions of use. Another critical aspect of the program is our global field technical support structure that diagnoses problems and makes precise recommendations for optimizing the application.
The FUEL DOCTOR PROGRAM has an educational support structure for in-person and online training and qualification.

Additive development engineering seeks to incorporate several attributes that guarantee the quality and performance of the product. Below are several attributes that are ultimately converted into perceived benefits.
Cleanliness: During combustion, fuels will always leave specific amounts of deposits, and more so if the fuel quality is poor. Such deposits will increase engine-out emissions and affect vehicle performance. milEx|mph performance fuel additives help reduce deposit formation to acceptable rates to improve power, acceleration, driveability, and reduce emissions.
Reduced FBT: Fuels with high FBT could block filters in the distribution network or during use in vehicles or industrial plants. Blending biodiesel or fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) into diesel adds further complexity because the quality of the biodiesel also affects fuel operability, especially filterability. Fuel cleanliness is critical as modern fuel injectors, injection pumps, and filters are manufactured to more precise tolerances. milEx diesel performance additives help reduce the filter-blocking tendency of biodiesel blends.
Instantaneous Fuel Economy: Fuel economy is becoming the most important measure of performance. This is brought about by greater demand for more tangible benefits from motorists or end-users, as well as increasing concerns about climate change and the reduction of emissions. While detergent additives are known to deliver fuel economy, such a benefit is achieved only after cleaning up the vital engine parts. Special milEx/mph performance additive packages are formulated with novel and unique components to deliver instantaneous and tangible fuel economy benefits demonstrated on real-life vehicles and equipment.
Reduced Emissions: Incomplete or inefficient combustion leads to increased formation of harmful emissions. milEx/mph performance additives help reduce tailpipe emissions. Various engine modifications and exhaust after-treatment devices have been considered to decrease emissions, but in most cases, there is an observed particulate matter and NOx trade-off. Special milex/mph performance additive packages are formulated with novel and unique components to enhance fuel performance that would significantly reduce particulate matter without increasing NOx.
Fast Fueling: In a complex mixture such as diesel, some components are less soluble in the overall mixture than others. These can function as natural surfactants that lower surface tension and allow foams to form. Antifoam is included in detergent packages to reduce the foam created when injecting fuel into a passenger tank at the service station. Reduced foam means faster and more complete fill. Antifoam also reduces spillage during filling and guarantees motorists that they are pumping fuel instead of air into their fuel tanks.
More Power: Vehicle performance, such as engine power, is affected due to the formation of deposits on vital engine parts. milEx/mph performance additives can clean up these performance-robbing deposits to control and restore power loss.
Corrosion Control: Water in the fuel is one of the causes of corrosion. Higher biofuel content increases the affinity of the fuel with water. milex/mph performance fuel additives are formulated to provide excellent corrosion protection.
Better Cold Properties: Ignition quality is critical in a diesel engine because, in the absence of spark plugs, the engine depends on the fuel to auto-ignite. The ignition quality of diesel fuel affects cold starting, emissions, engine noise, and vibration. The cetane number measures the ignition quality of the fuel, whereas a higher cetane number means better ignition quality. Selected milEx performance additive packages are formulated with cetane improver to deliver performance benefits due to enhance ignition quality.
Microbiological Control: There have been reported cases of operational issues in diesel engines, particularly in the agribusiness industry, where vehicles are used on intermittent bases, such as tractors and harvesters. One of the causes identified is microbial growth in storage tanks. Diesel is degraded by accelerated aging caused by poor storage conditions and increased concentration of biodiesel that could promote microbial growth and product instability. Selected milEx diesel performance additives provide inherent microbial inhibition, and special packages are also available that deliver extra protection that can eliminate microbial growth.
