What Is BigOxy?

BigOxy is an accelerated aging test in which fuels are exposed to elevated temperatures and pressures to deliberately accelerate oxidation processes. This allows reliable conclusions about long-term storage stability to be drawn within a short period of time.

Unlike conventional storage studies, which may require months or even years, BigOxy testing delivers meaningful results within just a few days.

Why BigOxy?

The storage stability of modern fuels is becoming increasingly important due to the growing use of biogenic and synthetic fuel components. BIGOXY® simulates aging processes under accelerated conditions and provides reliable insights into oxidation stability, aging behavior, and long-term product quality within only a few days.

BigOxy enables:

  • Rapid evaluation of storage stability
  • Comparison of different fuel blends
  • Assessment of alternative fuels
  • Investigation of additive performance
  • Support for development projects
  • Early identification of potential stability issues

For the Fuels of Today and Tomorrow

From conventional fuels to innovative e-fuels, BIGOXY enables the rapid assessment of aging and oxidation processes under defined testing conditions. This makes it possible to evaluate stability, storage behavior, and product quality at an early stage.

BigOxy is suitable for:

  • Diesel fuels
  • Heating oils
  • Gasoline fuels
  • Fuel additives
  • Biofuels
  • Synthetic fuels and e-fuels

Our Services

Oxidation Stability Analyses

Evaluation of fuel aging tendencies and oxidation behavior under defined testing conditions. These analyses provide valuable insights into storage stability and help identify potential quality losses at an early stage.

Comparison of Fuel Formulations

Direct comparison of fuels, blends, and feedstock combinations with regard to stability, aging behavior, and performance. This allows strengths, weaknesses, and optimization potential to be assessed objectively.

Additive Evaluation

Assessment of additive systems designed to improve stability, storage performance, and fuel quality. The investigations reveal whether and to what extent additives achieve the desired effects under realistic conditions.

Development Support Testing

Support for research and development projects through rapid and reliable testing during early development stages. This enables new fuel concepts to be optimized efficiently while identifying technical risks at an early stage.

Understanding Storage Stability at an Early Stage

Evaluate the stability of new fuel formulations during the earliest phases of development.
