Definitions
- the present invention relates to cold additives for middle distillates having improved low temperature handleability, their use for improving the cold properties of middle distillates, and the corresponding middle distillates.
- paraffin-rich crude oils In the course of decreasing world oil reserves, increasingly heavier and thus paraffin-rich crude oils are extracted and processed, which consequently also lead to paraffin-rich fuel oils.
- the paraffins contained in particular in crude oils and middle distillates such as gas oil, diesel and fuel oil can crystallize on lowering the temperature of the oil and agglomerate with the inclusion of oil. Due to this crystallization and agglomeration, blockages of the filters in engines and firing systems can occur, especially in winter, which prevents a safe metering of the fuels and may possibly lead to a complete interruption of the fuel or heating agent supply.
- paraffin problem is further exacerbated by the environmental reasons to reduce the sulfur content to be carried out hydrogenating desulfurization of fuel oils, which leads to an increased proportion of cold-critical paraffins and a reduced proportion of the solubility of paraffins-improving mono- and polycyclic aromatic compounds in the fuel oil.
- middle distillates are often added chemical additives, so-called cold flow improvers or flow improvers, modify the crystal structure and Agglomerationsne noticed the precipitated paraffins, so that the so-additive oils still pump or use at temperatures, often more than 20 ° C. lower than non-additized oils.
- cold flow improvers oil-soluble copolymers of ethylene and unsaturated esters are usually used.
- comb polymers For the addition of middle distillates with a high content of, in particular, longer-chain paraffins, these copolymers of ethylene and unsaturated esters are often used together with comb polymers.
- Comb polymers is understood to mean a special form of the branched macromolecules which carry longer, more or less equally long alkyl side chains on a linear main chain at more or less regular intervals.
- the co-use of copolymers of ethylene and unsaturated esters with comb polymers synergistically enhanced efficiencies are reported as cold additives, which are believed to be based on a paraffin crystallization nucleating function of these comb polymers. These occur in particular when using comb polymers with very long side chains.
- U.S. 3,447,916 discloses condensation polymers of alkenyl succinic anhydrides, polyols and fatty acids to lower the pour point of hydrocarbon oils. These polymers have a high side chain density due to the almost complete esterification of the hydroxyl groups of the polyol. The font gives no indication of the common use with other additives.
- DE-A-19 20 849 discloses condensation polymers of alkenyl succinic anhydrides, polyols having at least 4 OH groups and fatty acids for lowering the pour point of hydrocarbon oils.
- the stoichiometry of the reactants used for the condensation is selected so that the number of moles of OH groups and carboxyl groups is the same, that is, there is essentially complete esterification. Because of the engagement Polyhydric alcohols and the associated further increase in the side chain density show these polymers according to the disclosure of the one of the additives U.S. 3,447,916 superior effectiveness. Also, this document gives no indication of the common use with other additives.
- DE-A-24 51 047 discloses light, low viscosity distillate fuel oils which contain no residues and are additized with ethylene copolymers as well as comb polymers having C 18 -C 44 side chains.
- comb polymers inter alia, ester condensation polymers of alk (en) ylsuccinic anhydride having a C 16 -C 44 -alk (en) yl radical, a polyol having 2-6 OH groups and a C 20 -C 44 monocarboxylic acid are used.
- the three components of the polyester are preferably condensed in equimolar amounts, resulting in substantially complete esterification of both OH and COOH groups.
- Exemplified (polymer G) is a polycondensate of equimolar amounts of C 22-28 alkenyl succinic anhydride, trimethylolpropane and C 20-22 fatty acids.
- DE-A-103 49 859 discloses additive mixtures containing a waxy oligomeric ester based on glycerol monostearate and dimer acid and an ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer as a concentrate in a mineral oil middle distillate.
- the additive mixtures improve the cold flow behavior of middle distillates such as diesel or heating oil.
- WO-A-2007/015080 discloses esters of a substituted succinic acid with polyols, preparable by reaction of internal olefins having 3 to 80 carbon atoms and maleic anhydride, followed by the reaction of the substituted maleic anhydride with a polyol.
- Additive compositions containing these esters have low viscosity and are useful for improving the lubricity of middle distillate fuels.
- additive combinations of copolymers of ethylene and unsaturated esters and comb polymers used for improving the cold properties of middle distillates are usually used as concentrates in organic solvents. It is particularly important for the use of such additive concentrates in remote locations where there is often no way to heat the additive concentrates, important that they remain flowable at the lowest possible temperature and einmischbar in also cold fuel oils. At the same time, however, the concentration of active substance in the concentrates should be as high as possible, in order to increase the volume keep the additive concentrates to be transported and stored as low as possible.
- the additive concentrates heated it is often not possible to store the additive concentrates heated. A dilution of the additives is undesirable for logistical reasons, since then the volumes to be transported and stored strongly increase.
- the comb polymers derived from polyols having 3 or more OH groups often contain relatively high molecular weight fractions which impair the filterability of additized middle distillates.
