Description

AVIATION GASOLINE COMPOSITION, ITS PREPARATION AND USE. The present invention relates in general to a fuel composition and in particular to an aviation gasoline (Avgas).
International Patent Publication WO 02/40620 relates to an aviation gasoline fuel composition possessing a high motor octane number and which contains reduced amounts of tetraethyl lead compound. The Avgas composition is said to preferably contain about 20 to about 80 vol % iso-octane, about 5 to about 18 vol % toluene, about 1 to about 20 vol % C to C5 paraffins, about 0 to about 1 ml/gallon tetraethyl lead (TEL) and the balance light alkylate. The motor octane number is said to be preferably greater than or equal to about 100. The fuel is said to be preferably suitable as a substitute for Grade 100LL aviation fuel. This patent publication illustrates only compositions with 0.9 ml/gallon tetraethyl lead.
There is a need for an aviation fuel which can be used in moderately powered engines (such as presently use leaded aviation gasoline with a MON of at least 91) as well as in high performance engines (such as presently use leaded aviation gasoline with a MON of at least 99.5 MON) which have been modified to use lower octane number fuels.
Thus, according to the present invention there is provided an aviation gasoline composition comprising at least one tri-methyl pentane hydrocarbon and at least one C4 or C5 alkane wherein the amount of the at least one tri-methyl pentane in said composition is 10 to 90 vol %, the composition is substantially free of any lead compounds and the composition has a motor octane number of at least 92 and less than 98.
The composition of the present invention solves the technical problem defined above by the presence of at least one tri-methyl pentane compound in an amount of 10 - 90 vol. % in the composition which, in the substantial absence of lead compounds, provides a fuel with a motor octane number of at least 92 and less than 98.
The composition of the present invention can provide the same performance in full size spark ignition aviation engines as known leaded 91/96 or 91/98 aviation gasoline, the higher MON value compensating for the absence of lead compounds such as tetraethyl lead.
The motor octane number is defined according to ASTM D2700 standard, which is known in the art.

Iso-octane may be prepared by the hydrogenation of di-isobutylene, which in turn may be prepared by the dimerisation of isobutenes. Such dimerisation may be performed using converted MTBE production facilities. The at least one tri-methyl pentane may be provided as a substantially pure component and/or as a component in one or more alkylate process streams.
