Definitions

  • the present invention relates to condensates in particular cyclic calixarene compounds which are cyclic phenolic compounds.
  • the compounds ofthe invention are particularly suitable as thermal stabilising additives in fuel and for use in lubricating oil compositions for medium or low speed diesel engines, especially four stroke engines.
  • the invention also relates to fuel compositions and to lubricating oil compositions comprising said compounds, e.g. aviation fuel compositions.
  • the liquid fuel is combusted to produce power, but also is circulated in the aircraft as a heat exchange fluid to remove the excess heat generated at such speeds e.g. in lubricating oils.
  • the fuel is thus maintained for long periods at high temperatures, which results in discoloration and decomposition to produce soluble coloured products and insoluble products such as gums, sediments and granular material; insoluble products can form deposits that reduce the heat exchange capacity and can block filters potentially causing loss of power.
  • Soluble coloured by-products are unsightly and an indication of some decomposition.
  • the cause of discoloration etc. may be from phenols, naphthenates and sulphur compounds and/or metals which are often present in the fuels.
  • kerosine oil fuel is passed down a narrow metal feed pipe to the combustion chamber where it is burnt.
  • Parts ofthe pipe are sufficiently near the hot chamber for them to be heated to significant temperatures, resulting in the risk of thermal degradation ofthe fuel in the pipe, especially with slow feed rates and high residence times in the pipe. This degradation can form solid deposits which reduce the flow and ultimately stop it, causing the combustion to stop.
  • manufacturers of such devices have for many years recommended to their users that at least once each 6 months such pipe parts are cleaned of solid deposits of coke or other materials.
  • USP5478367 describes the addition to diesel or jet fuel of a substituted unsaturated polyamine derivative dispersant to reduce particulate emissions on combustion and to reduce fouling i.e. deposition of insoluble deposits.
  • Canadian Patent Publ. 2067907 describes the addition to distillate jet fuels of hydroxylamines to stabilise them against degradation at elevated temperatures.
  • USP5468262 describes addition to jet fuels of thermal stability additives which are prepared by reacting a polyamine, aldehyde and phenol to form a condensate which is then reacted with a succinic anhydride containing a polyolefin derived unsaturated group.
  • the additives are effective at 0.2% by weight.

  • the present invention also provides a blend of at least 2 liquid oil Products e.g. fuels, a first liquid oil Product comprising a first fuel or lubricant base, said Additive and dissolved water, and optionally undissolved water, and a second oil Product, e.g. fuel comprising a second fuel or lubricant base, which may be the same or different from the first base, and undissolved water.
  • the fuel or lubricant bases may contain or may be substantially free of performance additives.
  • the invention is also beneficial when the second oil Product is passed separately through a line down which the first oil Product has passed, because in many cases the first passage of first oil Product leaves trace of said oil Product and Additive in this line, and/or the walls ofthe line have adherent or adsorbed Additive, removed from said first oil Product.
  • the second oil Product becomes contaminated with said Additive which in the case of other additives have adversely affected its water tolerance properties; this effect is greatly reduced with the Additives compared to the known thermal stabilisers.
  • the present invention also provides a method of transporting at least 2 oil Products, e.g. fuels, separately along the same line, each oil Product e.g. fuel being contaminated with water or susceptible to contamination with water, wherein the earlier oil Product passing along the line comprises said Additive, and after passage down said line each oil Product containing water at least partly in dispersion form, is coalesced to produce droplets of water which are separated to leave an oil Product of reduced water content, especially substantially free of non-dissolved water, and preferably with substantially no interface e.g. less than 10% (based on the total value of separated water and interface).
  • a benefit ofthe invention is that with some other thermally stabilising additives, there are substantial interface problems ofthe stage of separation ofthe drops e.g. with an amount of interface of at least 20%> (ofthe value of separated water and interface).
  • the Additives have the effect of thermally stabilising the oil Products e.g. lubricant such as automative or marine lubricant and fuels e.g. aviation fuel, diesel, gas oil or gasoline, and also of not causing significant interfacial problems when water is separated from mixtures ofthe oil Product. This latter property is very important commercially for reasons as explained above.
  • lubricant such as automative or marine lubricant
  • fuels e.g. aviation fuel, diesel, gas oil or gasoline
  • the present invention also provides the use (a) ofthe Additive to stabilise thermally a liquid oil Product e.g. fuel, especially a jet fuel, while at the same time rendering the stabilised oil Product substantially water immiscible or rendering it substantially non-emulsifiable to water.
  • a liquid oil Product e.g. fuel, especially a jet fuel
  • the use is thus of a combined heat stabiliser and phase separator.
  • the invention also provides the use (b) ofthe Additive to stabilise thermally a liquid oil Product, e.g. fuel, especially a jet fuel, without substantially affecting its interfacial tension (e.g. by less than 20%> ofthe value ofthe oil Product e.g. fuel without the Additive).
  • This use is thus of a combined heat stabiliser and interfacial tension maintainer.
  • This technical effect is in contrast to other known thermal stabilisers, e.g. for jet fuel that have a significant surface active effect and severely reduce the interfacial tension ofthe fuel (e.g. by more than 30% ofthe value of fuel without the stabiliser).
  • the invention also provides the use (c) ofthe Additive to stabilise thermally a liquid oil Product e.g. fuel, while enabling it also to pass the single element test as defined as in the current edition of API 1581 (Specification and Clarification procedures for Aviation Jet Fuel Filter/Separators).
  • the Additive also can have a dispersant effect in diesel and/or gasoline, instead of or as well as a thermal stabiliser effect, so the above uses a-c can also be expressed in a similar manner with the two technical effects being the dispersant effect (rather than the thermal stabilising effect) and the non-emulsion stabilising effect e.g. phase separator or interfacial tension maintainer effect.
  • thermal stabilisers e.g. for jet fuel
  • thermal stabilisers also adversely affect the active surfaces of coalescers, in which the fuel with dispersed water contacts the active surface effecting coalescing ofthe dispersed water droplets causing then to grow from a size of less than 1 micron to produce droplets of size at least 1mm.
  • the active surface of a successful coalescer is sufficiently hydrophilic to have the above effect, but in the presence ofthe known stabiliser the surface becomes more hydrophobic and tends to lose its coalescence power.
  • the coalescer cannot fulfill its function of coalescing water in the fuel and has to be replaced.
  • the Additives have a much reduced effect on the active surface ofthe coalescer compared to the known stabiliser, thereby increasing the lifetime ofthe coalescer.
  • the present invention therefore also provides a method of increasing the lifetime of a coalescer, which is used to coalesce water present in a water dispersion in an oil Product, which comprises having in the oil Product an Additive.
  • the dispersion of water oil Product and Additive is converted into droplets of water or a separate water phase, and an oil Product phase containing the Additive of reduced non-dissolved water content, and preferably substantially no interface of water and oil Product.
  • the coalescer usually comprises a fibre bed, often of different fibre diameters, pore size or density.
  • the overall bed may be a random mixture ofthe above fibres, but preferably is in graded layers, to coalesce dispersions of wide range of water droplet sizes.
  • the fibres usually have an affinity for water but are not completely hydrophilic; they may be polymeric with polar groups e.g. CONH, -COO-, but not alcoholic OH, as in cellulose, or cellulose ethers or esters; these fibres are of non-cellulosic polar polymers.
  • the fibres can be inorganic e.g.
  • glass fibre especially glass treated with polar molecules such as glass treated with an organoxy-aminoalkyl silane or glass fibres bonded with phenolic resins e.g. phenol formaldehyde resins; these are hydrophobised inorganic fibres.
  • polar molecules such as glass treated with an organoxy-aminoalkyl silane or glass fibres bonded with phenolic resins e.g. phenol formaldehyde resins; these are hydrophobised inorganic fibres.
  • a reaction was performed between tertbutyl phenol (6 equivs) 2,4-dihydroxy benzoic acid (1 Nig, 2 equivs.) and paraformaldehyde (2.66g) in the presence of pellets of potassium hydroxide (l.Og, slightly more than 2 equivs.).
  • the reactants were placed in a two necked 100ml flask fitted with a condenser to collect distillate, dry mixed there and then warmed in a heating mantle. The uniform liquid mixture was then heated in a distillation apparatus to drive off the by product water give off during the condensation reaction.
  • the four products of Ex.1 and 2 are separately mixed at 6 mg/1 with B99/1 II aviation base fuel, which is POSF 2827 (from USAF) and their thermal stabilizing effect tested in the Jet Fuel Thermal Oxidation Tests (JFTOT) performed as described in EPA 660077, the disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference. Less deposit is formed by decomposition ofthe fuel in the presence ofthe products than in its absence.
  • Example 10 The fuel used in Ex. 6-9 was blended with the crude and purified products of Ex.3 at 6mg/l, and the thermal stabilising effect tested in the JFTOT test. The results were as follows, expressed volume of deposit per volume of fuel tested. Blank (fuel only), 289 ppb, fuel + crude product, 55 ppb, and Fuel + purified product 35 ppb.
