Abstract
Description
La présente invention a pour objet un combustible formé d'une composition à base d'huile végétale naturelle, susceptible d'être brûlée dans des installations de combustion, soit directement, soit en mélange avec un ou plusieurs hydrocarbures.The subject of the present invention is a fuel formed a composition based on natural vegetable oil, likely to be burnt in combustion, either directly or in mixture with one or several hydrocarbons.
Afin de remplacer les sources d'énergies fossiles par des énergies renouvelables, la recherche s'est orientée depuis quelques années vers l'utilisation des excédents agricoles, pour créer de nouveaux carburants ou combustibles.To replace fossil fuel sources with of renewable energies, research is oriented for a few years towards the use of surpluses agricultural, to create new fuels or combustibles.
De plus, depuis un certain nombre d'années déjà et plus récemment en 1992, en raison de la réforme de la politique agricole commune, la C.E.E a mis en place un système d'aide aux producteurs d'oléagineux, qui favorise la "jachère énergétique" et la production d'huiles végétales telles que l'huile de tournesol et de colza.In addition, for a number of years already and more recently in 1992, due to policy reform agricultural sector, the C.E.E has set up a support system to oilseed producers, which promotes "fallow" energy "and the production of vegetable oils such as sunflower and rapeseed oil.
On sait, toutefois, que brûler de l'huile végétale directement ou en incorporer de fortes teneurs dans un combustible, notamment pour chaudière, ne va pas sans poser toute une série de problèmes :
- de miscibilité : l'huile végétale, qui est un triester, se mélange difficilement avec des produits plus légers, de nature chimique différente ;
- de viscosité : la viscosité de l'huile végétale est de l'ordre de 70.10-6m2/s (70 mm2/s) à 20°C, ce qui rend impossible son incorporation directe dans un produit tel que le fioul domestique (dit encore fuel oil domestique ou "F.O.D.") c'est à dire, en particulier, de viscosité inférieure à 7.10-6m2/s (7 mm2/s) à 20°C, ou encore sa pulvérisation dans un brûleur classique pour FOD ;
- d'opérabilité et de stabilité au stockage (oxydation et pollution bactérienne) ;
- de mise en oeuvre, du fait des pertes de charge en lignes liées à la viscosité naturelle des huiles végétales ;
- d'encrassement de la chaudière, dû à une mauvaise combustion ;
- de brûleurs, car s'il existe sur le marché des brûleurs polycombustibles, ces brûleurs nécessitent un réchauffage du combustible, une adaptation de la ligne de transfert entre la cuve de stockage et le brûleur, voire une pulvérisation assistée, ce qui limite d'autant l'intérêt économique de brûler de l'huile végétale, s'il faut modifier des équipements qui utilisent actuellement du fuel oil domestique.
- miscibility: vegetable oil, which is a triester, hardly mixes with lighter products, of different chemical nature;
- viscosity: the viscosity of vegetable oil is around 70.10 -6 m 2 / s (70 mm 2 / s) at 20 ° C, which makes it impossible to incorporate it directly into a product such as heating oil (also called domestic fuel oil or "FOD") that is to say, in particular, of viscosity less than 7.10 -6 m 2 / s (7 mm 2 / s) at 20 ° C, or its spraying in a burner classic for FOD;
- operability and storage stability (oxidation and bacterial pollution);
- of implementation, due to the pressure losses in lines linked to the natural viscosity of vegetable oils;
- fouling of the boiler, due to poor combustion;
- burners, because if there are multi-fuel burners on the market, these burners require heating of the fuel, an adaptation of the transfer line between the storage tank and the burner, or even an assisted spraying, which limits all the more the economic interest of burning vegetable oil, if it is necessary to modify equipment which currently uses domestic fuel oil.
C'est la raison pour laquelle on voit se développer des réalisations visant des "carburants verts", comme par exemple des carburants comprenant soit des quantités infimes d'huile végétale, généralement inférieures à 5% en poids, soit des dérivés de celle-ci, sous la forme d'ester méthylique de colza dans du gazole. Mais ce dernier type de valorisation des huiles végétales nécessite une étape supplémentaire de transesterification, puis de purification, ce qui entraíne un important surcoût.This is the reason why we see the development of achievements targeting "green fuels", such as example of fuels including either minute quantities vegetable oil, generally less than 5% by weight, either derivatives thereof, in the form of ester rapeseed methyl in diesel. But the latter type of recovery of vegetable oils requires a step additional transesterification, then purification, which leads to a significant additional cost.
La Demanderesse s'est, quant à elle, fixé comme objectif la valorisation directe d'huiles végétales, par leur incorporation, en l'état et à des teneurs élevées, dans un combustible répondant aux normes d'utilisation des fuels domestiques et ne nécessitant pas, par conséquent, de modifications des installations existantes de combustions.The Applicant has set itself the objective the direct recovery of vegetable oils, by their incorporation, as is and at high contents, in a fuel meeting the standards for using fuels domestic and therefore not requiring modifications to existing combustion plants.
Au cours de ses travaux dans le domaine des combustibles de substitution, la Demanderesse a établi, de manière étonnante, qu'un combustible comprenant de fortes teneurs d'huile végétale naturelle -c'est à dire non transformée- et une coupe pétrolière riche en composés aromatiques, dans des rapports volumiques déterminés, peut être brûlé soit directement, soit en mélange avec d'autres combustibles de type classique tels que le fuel oil domestique, ce qui élimine les problèmes évoqués ci-dessus.During his work in the field of fuels the Applicant has established, in a manner surprising that a fuel with high contents natural vegetable oil - i.e. unprocessed - and an oil cut rich in aromatic compounds, in determined volume ratios, can be burned either directly, or mixed with other fuels of conventional type such as domestic fuel oil, which eliminates the problems mentioned above.
L'huile végétale raffinée peut être présente dans le combustible selon l'invention à des teneurs aussi élevées que 50% en volume. Au delà de telles concentrations en huile végétale, il devient nécessaire de changer le(s) brûleur(s) de la chaudière.Refined vegetable oil may be present in the fuel according to the invention at such high contents only 50% by volume. Beyond such oil concentrations vegetable, it becomes necessary to change the burner (s) of the boiler.
La présente invention a par conséquent pour premier objet un combustible à base d'huile végétale, caractérisé en ce qu'il contient entre 100% et 1% en volume d'une composition de base comprenant au plus 50 % en volume d'au moins une huile végétale et au moins une coupe pétrolière riche en composés aromatiques de type essence lourde, provenant d'une conversion non hydrogénante, et en ce que le rapport volumique huile végétale/essence de type aromatique est inférieur à 2.The present invention therefore has for first object a fuel based on vegetable oil, characterized in what it contains between 100% and 1% by volume of a basic composition comprising at most 50% by volume of at least minus one vegetable oil and at least one petroleum cut rich in aromatic compounds such as heavy petrol, from a non-hydrogenating conversion, and in that the aromatic type vegetable oil / essence volume ratio is less than 2.

- d'une part, il peut renfermer jusqu'à 50% en volume d'huile végétale, sans besoin de modifier le(s) brûleur(s) de chaudière ;

- enfin, il est compatible au stockage en présence des autres hydrocarbures de type fuel oil domestique ou équivalent.
- on the one hand, it can contain up to 50% by volume of vegetable oil, without the need to modify the boiler burner (s);

Dans le tableau ci-après sont répertoriées diverses compositions référencées 1 à 7, contenant de l'huile de colza ("HC"), de l'essence lourde de craquage catalytique ("ELCC") et du fioul domestique ("FOD"). Les teneurs sont exprimées en % en volume.In the table below are listed various compositions referenced 1 to 7, containing rapeseed ("HC"), heavy gasoline from catalytic cracking ("ELCC") and heating oil ("FOD"). The contents are expressed in% by volume.
L'huile de colza (HC) utilisée ici est une huile raffinée, commercialisée sous l'appellation LUBRIROB par la Société ROBBE à Compiègne. Son point d'écoulement est inférieur à -21°C et sa viscosité à 20°C est de 75.10-6m2/s (75 mm2/s).The rapeseed oil (HC) used here is a refined oil, marketed under the name LUBRIROB by the company ROBBE in Compiègne. Its pour point is less than -21 ° C and its viscosity at 20 ° C is 75.10 -6 m 2 / s (75 mm 2 / s).
L'essence lourde de craquage catalytique utilisée ici est une coupe 140°C-203°C provenant d'une unité de craquage catalytique comprenant 65 % d'aromatiques, 12 % d'oléfines et 23 % de molécules saturées.The heavy catalytic cracking gasoline used here is a 140 ° C-203 ° C cut from a cracking unit catalytic comprising 65% aromatics, 12% olefins and 23% of saturated molecules.
Les spécifications intersyndicales significatives suivantes d'un FOD, pour une utilisation sur chaudière du combustible conforme à l'invention, ont été retenues :
- la viscosité, qui permet d'assurer la qualité au démarrage et au cours de la combustion (les injecteurs à pulvérisation mécanique présents sur les brûleurs classiques nécessitent une viscosité inférieure à 7,5.10-6 m2/s) ;
- le point d'écoulement et le point de trouble, qui déterminent l'opérabilité à froid d'un combustible ;
- le point d'éclair, qui est relatif aux impératifs de

On voit, sur ce tableau, que, pour les basses teneurs en huile de colza dans la composition de base (de l'ordre de 5 à 10 %), la valeur du rapport HC/ELCC doit être légèrement inférieure à 2 pour être conforme aux spécifications retenues du FOD.We can see in this table that, for low contents in rapeseed oil in the basic composition (around 5 at 10%), the value of the HC / ELCC ratio should be slightly less than 2 to comply with specifications Deductions from the FOD.
Par contre, dès que la teneur en huile de colza dans la composition devient significative (plus de 20 % en volume), ce rapport est de préférence choisi inférieur à 1.However, as soon as the rapeseed oil content in the composition becomes significant (more than 20% by volume), this ratio is preferably chosen to be less than 1.
D'après le tableau ci-dessus, on constate que le combustible selon l'invention comprenant de l'huile de colza répond parfaitement aux spécifications intersyndicales retenues pour une utilisation sur chaudière d'un FOD, notamment de points de trouble et d'écoulement, ainsi que de point d'éclair, et constitue un "combustible vert" de substitution au combustible classique de l'état de la technique.From the table above, we see that the fuel according to the invention comprising rapeseed oil perfectly meets intersyndical specifications retained for use on a FOD boiler, including cloud and flow points, as well as flash point, and constitutes a "green fuel" of substitution of conventional fuel from the state of the technical.
Ce "combustible vert" peut être brûlé dans une chaudière utilisant habituellement du fuel oil domestique, sans modifier l'installation de chaudière initiale, en particulier le(s) brûleur(s) et il possède une bonne stabilité au stockage. Enfin, alors qu'il est bien connu de l'homme du métier que la combustion de l'huile de colza, même sur un brûleur modifié, pose un gros problème de démarrage (compte tenu de la faible volatilité intrinsèque du produit), l'ajout d'ELCC en mélange avec des quantités significatives d'huile de colza améliore considérablement l'allumage par électrodes, lors du démarrage du brûleur.This "green fuel" can be burned in a boiler usually using domestic fuel oil, without modify the initial boiler installation, especially the burner (s) and it has a good storage stability. Finally, while it is well known to skilled in the art that burning rapeseed oil, even on a modified burner, poses a big problem of start-up (given the low intrinsic volatility of the product), adding ELCC mixed with quantities significant rapeseed oil significantly improves ignition by electrodes, when starting the burner.
