Fuel improvement

Fuel improvement

Fuel improvement refers to the process of enhancing the quality, efficiency, and environmental performance of fuels through advanced refining techniques, additives, and treatment methods.

  • Supplying and manufacturing specialized chemicals aimed at improving fuel properties and increasing its efficiency.
  • Increasing the octane number of gasoline, which contributes to improving engine performance, reducing fuel consumption, and protecting engines from damage resulting from incomplete combustion.

The goal is to increase energy output, reduce harmful emissions, and optimize engine performance while ensuring compliance with international environmental and safety standards. This can involve removing impurities, improving combustion properties, and introducing eco-friendly formulations that support sustainable energy solutions.

  • The company has a 1,000-ton warehouse for base oils.
  • It has a 1,500-ton warehouse for diesel fuel (gas).
  • It has an 800-ton warehouse for gasoline (petrol).

Diesel Additives

Diesel additives are specialized chemical compounds blended into diesel fuel to enhance its performance, increase efficiency, and protect engine and fuel system components. The choice of additive depends on operating conditions, climate, and performance requirements of vehicles or equipment.

1. Cetane Improvers

  • Function: Increase the cetane number of diesel fuel, which indicates how quickly the fuel ignites after injection into the combustion chamber.

  • Benefit: A higher cetane number ensures faster and smoother ignition, reducing ignition delay and improving engine performance.

  • Results:

    • More efficient combustion.

    • Lower emissions of carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons.

    • Reduced engine knocking and noise.

  • Common Examples: Nitrate and peroxide-based compounds, such as 2-EHN (2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate).

2. Cold Flow Improvers

  • Function: Prevent the formation of wax crystals (paraffin) in diesel fuel at low temperatures.

  • Benefit: Keep the fuel in a liquid state during cold weather, ensuring proper flow through pipelines and filters.

  • Results:

    • Reduced filter plugging and fuel line blockages.

    • Reliable engine start and operation in cold climates.

    • Minimized downtime caused by fuel gelling.

  • Common Examples: Special polymers such as Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA).
