Fuel Marking
Why does fuel marking matter?
The total estimated value of fuels adulterated or defrauded from legitimate Oil and Gas companies and losses to governments through subsidy abuse and tax evasion is over ~$100 Billion USD / year (according to last available figures from 2018) added to this the environmental impact is devastating- how can we do something about this?
Chemtag is shifting the boundaries of fuel marking with the most advanced, high performing, groundbreaking fuel marking solution on the market.
We are helping both companies and governments alike in preventing fuel and lubricant frauds such as
Smuggling (Cross-boarder)
Laundering (Removing of dyes from lower tax rate fuel)
Brand dilution (Your product diluted with another)
Stream dilution (Your premium product diluted with standard)
Fuel theft
These markers, which are read with special sensors, can detect the origin of fuels and prevent illegal activities that cause economic loss, environmental damage, brand damage and damage to the end user.
Fuel markers will help you by
Preserving The Integrity Of Automotive And Heating Fuels,
Enhancing User Trust
Protecting Vehicles By proving The Exact Quality Of Fuel
Assuring That State Organizations And Regulators Are Able To Secure The Proper Amount Of Income From Taxes On Fuel
Limiting The Unlawful Import Of No Or Low-Tax Goods
Aiding Environmental Protection Measures
Chemtag® markers are composed of visible and silent marker components. The visible means that it can be detected by a special instrument which works by using optical spectroscopy technique. The Chemtag® marker also includes a Silent marker system for a second level security of used for government marker programs. The silent marker can be measured by other specifically designed instruments such as HPLC and/or LC-MS/MS system. This two/three-level (2D/3D) security system allows us 100 % precision when using both. Thus, the biggest factor that emphasizes the Chemtag® solution is that while the traditional marker systems offer a 1-dimensional viewing angle, Chemtag® offers a 3-dimensional viewing angle to the user.Designed, developed, and produced by Techno Fuel Technologies, the Chemtag® is a chemical based fuel marking tool.

All measurements in the field are measured by SpectroTag 1000® measurement Instrument and the data is instantly transferred to the central server. For these data, the measurement location, sample temperature, measurement result, the measurement device, the measurement result is valid or invalid information is transmitted to the main server immediately.
