The present invention relates to middle distillate fuel oil compositions with improved flowability. A method of mixing kerosene fractions is effective for improving the low-temperature fluidity of middle distillate fuel oil. However, in recent years,
As the demand for kerosene as a jet fuel and household fuel has increased, attempts have been made to reduce the amount of kerosene mixed into middle distillate fuel oils as much as possible, and instead add pour point depressants such as low molecular weight ethylene copolymers. being done. However, the pour point depressants proposed in the past have often not had the ability to substantially lower the cryogenic filter plugging point (CFPP). For example, according to US Pat. No. 3,446,740,
It has been stated that hydrogenated hydroxyl terminated diene polymers can serve as pour point depressants for mineral oils. Specifically, as the hydroxyl-terminated diene polymer, only those with a large number of 1,4-unsaturated bonds are described, and it is also stated that those without hydrogenation cannot be used as pour point depressants. According to the studies of the present inventors, it is true that when the hydrogenated product of hydroxyl-terminated 1,4-polybutadiene specifically disclosed in the specification of the publication is blended with middle distillate fuel oil such as light oil, the pour point It has been confirmed that it has the effect of reducing However, the effect of lowering CFPP was not substantially observed. The present inventors investigated additives that further lower the CFPP of fuel oil in order to prevent clogging of filters and screens in storage devices for middle distillate fuel oil. It has been found that polybutadiene or its hydrogenated product having a specific molecular weight and a specific range of 1,2-bonds is effective. These additives have also been found to further lower the CFPP of middle distillate fuel oils when used in combination with oil-soluble ethylene-based copolymers. Therefore, the present invention provides middle distillate fuel oil a with a hydroxyl-terminated 1,2 having a number average molecular weight of about 1,500 to about 3,500.
- A fuel oil composition containing an effective amount of polybutadiene or its hydrogenated substance (b), which optionally contains an oil-soluble ethylene copolymer (c) as needed.
can be blended. The middle distillate fuel oil to which the present invention is applied has a boiling point of
It is in the range of about 150 to 500℃,
Typical examples include light oil and A heavy oil. The effect of adding additives will differ slightly depending on the type of fuel oil, but the fuel oils that are particularly effective for applying the present invention have a difference between the 90% distillation temperature and the initial boiling point.
110℃ or higher, for example 200℃ or lower, preferably 115 to 190℃, and CFPP is -10℃ to +10℃
It is in the range of ℃. In the present invention, the additive used in the middle distillate fuel oil is hydroxyl-terminated 1,2-polybutadiene or its hydrogenated product, which has a number average molecular weight of about 1,500 to about 3,500. Even if hydroxyl-terminated 1,4-polybutadiene or its hydrogenated product as disclosed in the above-mentioned US patent is used instead, almost no effect on lowering CFPP is observed. Although the US patent states that no hydrogen additive is effective in lowering the pour point, the hydroxyl-terminated 1,2-
When polybutadiene is used, as long as it has the above molecular weight, even non-hydrogenated polybutadiene is effective in lowering not only pour point but also CFPP. Here, 1,2-polybutadiene means 1,2-
A polybutadiene containing at least 70%, preferably 85% or more of bonds, and less than 30%, preferably less than 15% of trans-1,4-bonds, cis-1,4-bonds, etc. Good too. The hydroxyl-terminated 1,2-polybutadiene has a group containing a hydroxyl group unit at at least one end, preferably both ends, of such a 1,2-polybutadiene unit. The hydrogenated product is one in which part or all of the unsaturated bonds are hydrogenated. In other words, the average number of hydroxyl groups per molecule of the hydroxyl-terminated 1,2-polybutadiene or its hydrogenated product is 1 or more, preferably 1,3 or more.
Preferably, it has 3.0, more preferably about 1.5 to 2.5. As hydroxyl-terminated 1,2-polybutadiene or its hydrogenated product, its number average molecular weight is approximately
1500 to about 3500, preferably about 1600 to about
Must be in the 3200 range. Even if the number average molecular weight is smaller or larger than the above range.
It is not used in the present invention because its effect on lowering CFPP is small. Depending on the type of middle distillate fuel oil (a), even if the above-mentioned hydroxyl-terminated 1,2-polybutadiene or its hydrogenated substance (b) is blended, the effect of blending it may be small; in such cases, the oil When soluble ethylene copolymer c is used in combination, CFPP decreases significantly. The above oil-soluble ethylene copolymer is
Even if it is blended alone with middle distillate fuel oil a, with some exceptions (for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-35395)
In many cases, it does not significantly reduce CFPP. In addition, when blending these oil-soluble ethylene copolymers together, instead of b, one with a molecular weight different from b may be used, or polybutadiene with few 1,2-bonds, hydroxyl-terminated 1,4-polybutadiene, or Even if you use hydrogen additives etc.
Almost no CFPP lowering effect was observed. The oil-soluble ethylene copolymer that can be used in the present invention is a copolymer of ethylene and an olefin having 3 or more carbon atoms, or a copolymer of ethylene and a vinyl copolymer containing usually 65 to 95 mol%, preferably 70 to 93 mol% of ethylene. It is a polymer and can be dissolved in fuel oil at a rate of at least 1 g/l at room temperature. Number average molecular weight is usually 1000 to 50000,
Preferably it shows 1500 to 20000. Examples of the olefin having 3 or more carbon atoms that can be a constituent monomer of the copolymer include propylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-octene, 1-decene, 1-tetradecene, 4-methyl-1 -pentene, two or more of these arbitrary types, etc. can be exemplified. Examples of the vinyl monomer include vinyl acetate, methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, and methyl methacrylate. In the present invention, the effective amount of hydroxyl-terminated 1,2-polybutadiene or its hydrogenated compound b varies depending on the type of middle distillate fuel oil, but is generally 0.005 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of middle distillate fuel oil. No
The amount is about 0.1 part by weight, preferably about 0.01 to 0.06 part by weight. In addition, when oil-soluble ethylene copolymer c is used in combination, its effective amount varies depending on the type of fuel oil, but is usually 0.001 to 1 part by weight,
The amount is preferably about 0.003 to 0.05 parts by weight. The composition of the present invention optionally contains a corrosion inhibitor,
Antioxidants, stabilizers, dispersants, and other additives can be contained. According to the present invention, a fuel composition with improved pour point and CFPP can be provided. Next, examples will be shown. Examples 1 to 10, Comparative Examples 1 to 17 CFPP was measured when various additives were blended with 100 parts by weight of fuel oil. The properties of the fuel oil used are shown in Table 1, the properties of the additives are shown in Table 2, and the decrease in CFPP relative to the raw fuel oil is shown in Table 3 as △CFPP.
Shown in the table. Furthermore, CFPP is a Journal of the
It was measured according to the method described in Institute Petroleum vol.52, No.510.
