Definitions
- the present invention relates to improvements in diesel fuel compositions and in particular to the properties of diesel fuel compositions at low temperatures.
- a standard test used to measure the pour point of diesel fuels is ASTM D5949.
- the cloud point (CP) of a fuel is the temperature at which a cloud of wax crystals first appears in a liquid when it is cooled under conditions prescribed in the test method as defined in ASTM D2500 or ASTM D5773.
- CFIs Cold flow improvers
- WASAs wax anti-settling additives
- Some such additives may assist in keeping the so-called “waxes” in solution in the fuel; others may alter their crystal morphology or size, so that filterability and pourability are maintained in spite of precipitation.
- LTFT test Another less commonly used test is the low temperature flow test (or LTFT test). This test uses a finer filter than the CFPP test and is thus more sensitive to wax blockages. The LTFT test is favoured in countries where winter temperatures can be very low, for example Canada, Scandinavia, Russia, Eastern Europe and Northern U.S.A. including Alaska.
- biodiesel and renewable diesel are quite different to that of mineral diesel.
- Mineral diesel is derived from petroleum and comprises a mixture of alkanes comprising a high degree of branching, along with aromatic and olefinic compounds.
- Biodiesel comprises fatty acid methyl esters, often with a degree of unsaturation. The presence of the ester functional groups means that these are chemically distinct from many of the compounds commonly found in mineral diesel.
- Renewable diesel is prepared by the hydrodeoxygenation of fats and oils and comprises primarily straight chain alkanes. These again have a different chemical composition to mineral diesel.
- additives which improve the low temperature properties of mineral diesel fuels do not necessarily improve the low temperature properties of diesel fuels comprising biodiesel and/or renewal diesel components.
- LTFT low temperature flow test
- the present inventors have surprisingly found that a particular combination of additives is especially effective at improving the low temperature properties of diesel fuels, including blends comprising mineral diesel and biodiesel and/or renewable diesel.

Description
- The present invention relates to improvements in diesel fuel compositions and in particular to the properties of diesel fuel compositions at low temperatures.
- As fuels cool crystals begin to form within the fuels. These can cause problems during storage, transportation and combustion of the fuel.
- Three measurements are commonly taken to assess the low temperature performance of diesel fuel. Standardised tests have been devised to measure the temperature at which the fuel hazes (the cloud point - CP), the lowest temperature at which a fuel can flow (the pour point - PP) and the lowest temperature at which fuel flows through a filter, the cold filter plugging point - CFPP); and the changes thereto caused by additives (ΔCP, ΔPP, ΔCFPP). The standardised tests for measuring PP and, especially, CP and CFPP are among the common working tools for persons skilled in the art.
- A standard test used to measure the pour point of diesel fuels is ASTM D5949.
- The cloud point (CP) of a fuel is the temperature at which a cloud of wax crystals first appears in a liquid when it is cooled under conditions prescribed in the test method as defined in ASTM D2500 or ASTM D5773.
- At temperatures below the cloud point but above the pour point, the wax crystals can reach a size and shape capable of plugging fuel lines, screens, and filters even though the fuel will physically flow. These problems are well recognized in the art and have a number of recognised test methods such as the CFPP value (cold filter plugging point, determined in accordance with DIN EN116 or ASTM D6371).
- Tests such as these were introduced to give an indication of low temperature operability as the cloud point test was considered to be too pessimistic.
- Cold flow improvers (CFIs) and wax anti-settling additives (WASAs) have been developed to ameliorate the problems of wax precipitation below the cloud point in fuels, and their effect can studied by the test methods described above, comparing the results between unadditised fuels and additised fuels.
- Some such additives may assist in keeping the so-called "waxes" in solution in the fuel; others may alter their crystal morphology or size, so that filterability and pourability are maintained in spite of precipitation.
- Another less commonly used test is the low temperature flow test (or LTFT test). This test uses a finer filter than the CFPP test and is thus more sensitive to wax blockages. The LTFT test is favoured in countries where winter temperatures can be very low, for example Canada, Scandinavia, Russia, Eastern Europe and Northern U.S.A. including Alaska.
- In recent years environmental pressures have meant that greener alternatives to fossil fuels have been increasingly used. It is now common to replace some or all of diesel obtained from petroleum sources with diesel obtained from natural or renewable sources. However inclusion of a biodiesel and/or renewable diesel component can have a significant impact on the properties of a fuel at low temperatures.
- The chemical nature of biodiesel and renewable diesel is quite different to that of mineral diesel. Mineral diesel is derived from petroleum and comprises a mixture of alkanes comprising a high degree of branching, along with aromatic and olefinic compounds. Biodiesel comprises fatty acid methyl esters, often with a degree of unsaturation. The presence of the ester functional groups means that these are chemically distinct from many of the compounds commonly found in mineral diesel.
- Renewable diesel is prepared by the hydrodeoxygenation of fats and oils and comprises primarily straight chain alkanes. These again have a different chemical composition to mineral diesel.
- Because the chemical nature of biodiesel and renewable diesel differs to that of mineral diesel, different waxes and precipitates form as these fuels cool. For blended fuels the wax crystals which form in one component may be less soluble in other components of the fuel. This can lead to increased problems, for example with filterability of the fuel, at low temperatures.
- Due to the different compositions of these fuels, additives which improve the low temperature properties of mineral diesel fuels do not necessarily improve the low temperature properties of diesel fuels comprising biodiesel and/or renewal diesel components.
- As mentioned above the low temperature flow test (LTFT) is an important test for assessing the low temperatures properties of fuels. It would be desirable to provide an additive which provides good performance in this test in both mineral diesel fuels and in fuels which contain a biodiesel and/or a renewable diesel component.
- The present inventors have surprisingly found that a particular combination of additives is especially effective at improving the low temperature properties of diesel fuels, including blends comprising mineral diesel and biodiesel and/or renewable diesel. In particular the additive combination provides improved performance in the LTFT test.
