Description
A ~X-C0NTAINING CRUDE OIL OR FUJI OIL COMPRISING
A POUR POINT DEPRESSANT
This invention relates to a wax-containing crude oil or a wax-conta~ning fuel oil, in particular a wax-containing residual fuel oil, comprising a small amount of a polymer having predami-neonatal aliphatic hydrocarbon side chains of at least 14 carbon atoms, as pour point depressant.
Such oils are known from British patent specifications 1,161,188 and 1,154,966. The polymers described in this literature are linear polymers and although they show an excellent pour point depressing and flow improving effect, it has now been found that a still better pour point depressing, and flow improving effect can be obtained, in particular at law concentrations, if these pox lymers Howe a branched backbone.
m is invention therefore relates to the above-mentioned crude oils or fuel oils, characterized in that the polymer has a branch-lo Ed backbone.
Such a polymer is especially suitable for depressing the pour point of crude oils and fuel oils containing at least wow of waxes with a welting point above 35C and a boiling point above 350C;
such as the crude oils described in British patent specification 1,161,188 and the fuel oils described in British patent specific cation 1,154,966.
Suitable proportions of polymer are 0.001 to wow, preferably 0.005 to wow, on total oil composition.
Suitable polymers are copolymers of (A) at least one monad olefinically unsaturated aliphatic monomer having a saturated, preferably unbranched, hydrocarbon chain of at least 14 carbon atoms, optionally (B) a small amount, preferably up to 10~ on total monkeries, of at least one other monoolefinically unsaturated monomer, preferably having a nitrogen-containing polar group, and JO (C) a controlled small amount, e.g. 0.01 to 1, preferably wow f~3~
on total monomers, of at least one polyolefinically unsaturated monomer which during polymerization results in a polymer having a branched backbone and substantially having no cross-linking.
Suitable monomers (A) are described in the above-mentioned British patent specification 1,161,188, in particular those having a saturated unbranched hydrocarbon chain of 18-30 carbon atoms as described in British patent specification 1,154,966.
Particularly preferred monomers (A) are aIkyl(meth)acrylates, such as n~octadecyl- and n-eicosyl(C20)(meth)acrylate, and dialkyl esters of unsaturated dicarbcxylic acids, such as Danube-nil (C21) esters of malefic fumaric and itaconic acid.
Suitable monomers (B) are styrenes methyl styrenes left.
bottle styrenes vinyltoluene and mono-olefins, such as ethylene, propylene and battalion, and preferably are monoolefinically, unsaturated compounds having nitrogen-containing groups, such as acrylonitrile, acxylamide, p-aminostyrene, in particular those having heterocyclic nitrogen-containing groups, such as vinylpyri-dine, in particular 4-vinylpyridine, and N-vinylpyrrolidone.
Suitable monomers (C) are polyesters of alkanepolyols, such as dills, trios and tutorials, and unsaturated monocar~oxylic acids, such as alkanediol di(meth)acrylates, trimethylolpropane in-(meth)acrylate and pentaerythritol tetra(meth)acrylate. Suitable polyols have 1 to 12 carbon atoms, such as ethanediol, propane-dill, butanediol, in particular 1,4-butanediol; polyvinyl cam pounds, such as divinylesters of saturated or unsaturated dicer-boxlike acids such as Sioux N c, malefic, fumaric and itaconic acids and polyvinyl aromatic compounds, in particular divinely Bunsen.
These and other suitable monomers (C) are described in British patent specification 1,575,507.
Suitable molecular weights of the present polymers are 10,000 to 1,000,000 preferably 20,000 - 250,000 (number average).
Other additives may additionally be used, such as other pour point depressants, anti-oxidants, anti-corrossion agents, metal deactivators, additives for preventing filter clogging and Emil-soon formation.

The present invention furthermore relates to the polymers per so, to their preparation and to their use as dew axing agents.
The present polymers can be prepared by radical polymeric ration in a solvent such as Bunyan, Tulane or the zillions with the aid of an initiator, e.g. dibenzoyl peroxide or azo-bis-iso-butyronitrile ION and optionally a chain-transfer agent, such as an alkyd mercaptan or other mercaptan.

Claims (13)
PROPERTY OR PRIVILEGE IS CLAIMED ARE DEFINED AS FOLLOWS:
1. A wax-containing crude oil, a wax-containing fuel oil, or a wax containing residual fuel oil, including a small amount of a polymer having predominantly aliphatic hydrocarbon side chains of at least 14 carbon atoms, wherein the polymer has a branched backbone.
2. An oil as claimed in claim 1, wherein the proportion of polymer is 0.001 to 2%w, based on the total oil composition.
3. An oil as claimed in claim 1, wherein the proportion of polymer is 0.005 to 0.05%w, based on the total oil composition.
4. An oil as claimed in claim 1 wherein the polymer is a copolymer of (A) at least one monoolefinically unsaturated ali-phatic monomer having a saturated, preferably unbranched, hydro-carbon chain of at least 14 carbon atoms, optionally (B) a small amount of at least one other monoolefinically un-saturated monomer, and (C) a controlled small amount of at least one diolefinically unsaturated monomer which during polymerization results in a polymer having a branched backbone.
5. An oil as claimed in claim 4, wherein monomer (A) is an alkyl(meth)acrylate.
6. An oil as claimed in claim 4, wherein the amount of monomer (B) in the copolymer is 0-10%w on total monomers.
7. An oil as claimed in claim 4, wherein monomer (B) has a nitrogen-containing polar group.
8. An oil as claimed in claim 7, wherein monomer (B) has a heterocyclic nitrogen-containing group.
9. An oil as claimed in claim 4, wherein the amount of monomer (C) in the copolymer is 0.01 to 1%w on total monomers.
10. An oil as claimed in claim 4, wherein monomer (C) is an alkanepolyol poly(meth)acrylate or a polyvinyl aromatic compound.
11. A polymer as defined in claim 1.
12. A process for the preparation of the polymer of claim 11, wherein the polymer is prepared by radical polymerization in a solvent with the aid of an initiator.
13. A method of dewaxing a crude oil, a fuel oil, or a residual fuel oil which comprises in corporative therein an effective amount of a polymer having predominantly aliphatic hydrocarbon side chains of at least 14 carbon atoms, the polymer also having a branched backbone.
