2. Description of the Related Art Fuel oil A is used as boiler fuel and diesel engine fuel. However, in recent years, with the increase in output and fuel efficiency of engines used for fuel oil A, fuel oil A has been developed. As fuel oil, demands for higher performance are increasing year by year. When heavy fuel oil A is used as fuel for these high-performance engines, problems with flammability such as deterioration of ignitability and frequency of cleaning the burner and the furnace due to increased generation of soot may occur. on the other hand,
Heavy fuel oil A contains more heavy components than gasoline and kerosene, so that wax precipitation at low temperatures may become a problem. The deposition of wax at low temperatures may block the filter for preventing foreign substances in the fuel system, and in the worst case, make it impossible to supply fuel. As a method of suppressing wax deposition at low temperatures, a method of adding a fluidity improver is generally used, but at present, a sufficient effect cannot be exerted under actual severe winter use conditions. Conventionally, a test based on a clogging point has been used to determine filter clogging at low temperatures. In this test method, the low-temperature fluidity is improved by adding a fluidity improver. However, in this test method, the cooling rate of the sample oil is fast and rapid cooling (about 40 ° C./hour). Significantly different from below. It is known that the slower the cooling rate, the larger the amount of precipitated wax and clogging of the filter, and it has been found that the evaluation based on the clogging point is insufficient. In general, A fuel oil excellent in low-temperature performance often has poor flammability, and A fuel oil satisfying all these performances at the same time is desired. The object of the present invention is
An object of the present invention is to provide a fuel oil A composition that can withstand the use of recent high-performance engines and that does not cause clogging of filters by wax in winter.

The method for producing the heavy oil A composition of the present invention is not particularly limited, and any conventionally known method can be used. Usually, a base material for imparting residual carbon is mixed with the heavy oil A base material, and if necessary, It is manufactured by blending additives. A heavy oil base material includes straight-run kerosene (or desulfurized kerosene), straight-run light gas oil (or desulfurized light gas oil), straight-run heavy gas oil (or desulfurized heavy oil) obtained from an atmospheric distillation unit. Gas oil), light cycle oil obtained from a fluid catalytic cracking unit and / or residue fluid catalytic cracking unit, hydrodesulfurized vacuum gas oil obtained by hydrodesulfurizing vacuum gas oil obtained from a vacuum distillation unit, hydrogenation obtained from a hydrocracking unit Crude gas oil, direct gas oil obtained from a direct A heavy oil desulfurization unit, and the like. One of these

However, in order to sufficiently exhibit the effect, it is preferable to use the hydrocracked gas oil in an amount of 50% or more, more preferably 75% or more, and more preferably 85% or more based on the total amount of the heavy fuel oil composition A. Is even more preferable, and 90% or more is most preferably used. Further, in order to satisfy the tax exemption condition for the residual carbon content, it is usually 99.5% by volume or less, preferably 99% by volume.
Used in: Further, in order to satisfy the tax exemption condition for the residual carbon content, the extract is generally used in an amount of 0.5% by volume or more, preferably 1% by volume or more based on the total amount of the heavy fuel oil composition A. Also, in consideration of filter clogging at room temperature due to dry sludge, low-temperature fluidity, and the like, it is preferably used at 5% by volume or less, more preferably at 3% by volume or less. Also, as an additive,
Various additives such as a cetane improver, an antioxidant, a stabilizer, a dispersant, a metal deactivator, a microbial bactericide, a flame retardant, an antistatic agent, a discriminating agent, a coloring agent, and the like. Can be added as appropriate. Among these, it is preferable to add a fluidity improver because it is more excellent in the effect of preventing clogging of the filter by wax in winter. As the fluidity improver, for example, a polymer type additive such as an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and an ethylene-α-olefin copolymer, an oil-soluble dispersant type additive, and an alkyl succinic acid can be used. The amount of the fluidity improver is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.001 to 0.1% by volume, preferably 0.01 to 0.03% by mass, based on the total weight of the heavy oil composition A. Is more preferable.

The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following examples, which should not be construed as limiting the invention thereto. Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1 Each base material (hydrocracked gas oil, straight-run gas oil, cracked gas oil, extract) having the properties shown in Table 1 was mixed at a volume ratio as shown in each example of Table 2. A of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1
The heavy oil compositions were prepared, and the properties of each of these adjusted compositions are shown in Table 2. For each sample oil (each composition), low-temperature fluidity performance evaluation and flammability performance evaluation were performed by the following methods. The results are shown in Table 2. Evaluation of low-temperature fluidity performance The low pressure fluidity performance was evaluated by measuring the magnitude of the negative pressure before and after the fuel filter at low temperatures by the following method. As a test device, a low-temperature fluidity test device including a burner portion of a heater used for heating greenhouse cultivation and a fuel filter (100 mesh) attached to the burner portion was used. The test conditions were based on severe outdoor temperature changes in winter, with a cooling rate of 0.5 ° C./h, a cooling start temperature of 5 ° C., and a soaking test temperature of 5 hours. The judgment was made by measuring the negative pressure for 1 hour before and after the fuel filter, and when the negative pressure was 700 mmHg or less during the measurement time, it was judged as pass, and when the negative pressure was sometimes larger than 700 mmHg during the measurement time, it was judged as reject. . Table 2 shows the minimum temperature at which the negative pressure measurement was accepted. Flammability performance evaluation The flammability performance was evaluated by measuring the ignition delay by the following method. The ignition delay adversely affects the engine performance and exhaust gas, and is a major cause of trouble particularly in recent high-performance engines. Using a fuel ignitability tester having a combustion chamber volume of 1 liter, a pressure of 45 barrels,
Fuel was injected into air at a temperature of 450 ° C., and the time from injection to ignition was measured. The results are shown in Table 2.
