Abstract
The invention relates to a process for improving the flowability of paraffin-containing mineral oils and mineral oil distillates by adding flow improvers based on ethylene/vinyl ester co- and terpolymers, alkylphenol-aldehyde resins and, if appropriate, other paraffin dispersants, mixtures of these different flow improvers and mineral oils and mineral oil distillates which comprise these flow improvers.
Description
Clariant GmbH HOE 97IY 001 K Dr.KMlpp Description Improving the flowability of mineral oils and mineral oil distillates using alkylphenol-aldehyde resins The invention relates to a process for improving the flowability of paraffin-containing mineral oils and mineral oil distillates by adding flow improvers based on ethylenelvinyl ester co- and terpolymers, alkylphenol-aldehyde resins, with or without other paraffin dispersants.
Crude oils and middle distillates such as gas oil, diesel oil or fuel oil produced by distilling crude oils have, depending on the origin of the crude oils, differing contents of n-paraffins which, when the temperature is decreased, crystallize out as lamellar crystals and partially agglomerate with inclusion of oil. This crystallization and agglomerization impairs the flow properties of the oils or distillates, as a result of which faults may occur in the production, transport storage and/or use of the mineral oils and mineral oil distillates. When mineral oils are transported through pipelines, the crystallization phenomenon can lead, especially in winter, to deposits on the pipe walls, and in individual cases, for example when a pipeline is idle, can even lead to its complete blockage. During the storage and further processing of mineral oils, it can, in addition, be necessary to store the mineral oils in heated tanks in winter. In the case of mineral oil distillates, the crystallization may cause blockages of the filters in diesel engines and furnaces, as result of which reliable metering of the fuels is prevented and, under some circumstances, complete interruption in the supply of engine or furnace fuel occurs.
In addition to the classical methods for removing crystallized paraffins (thermal, mechanical or using solvents), which are solely concerned with removing sediments which have already formed, chemical additives (so-called flow improvers) have been developed in recent years. These have the effect that, owing to physical interaction with the paraffin crystals precipitating out, their shape, size and adhesion properties are modified. The additives act here as additional crystal seeds and in part crystallize out together with the paraffins, which produces a greater number of smaller paraffin crystals having a modified crystal shape. The modified paraffin crystals have a decreased tendency to agglomeration, so that the oils to which these additives have been added may still be pumped or processed at temperatures which are frequently more than 20° lower than is the case with oils without additives.
Typical flow improvers for crude oils and middle distillates are co- and terpolymers of ethylene with carboxylic esters of vinyl alcohol.
A further object of flow improvement additives is dispersion of the paraffin crystals, i.e. delaying or preventing the sedimentation of paraffin crystals and thus the formation of a paraffin-rich layer at the bottom of storage vessels.
Various paraffin-dispersants of both monomeric and polymeric structure are known.
As monomeric paraffin-dispersants, reaction products of alkenylspirobislactones with amines are disclosed by EP-A-0 413 279, for example. In addition, EP-A-0 061 894 describes oil-soluble nitrogen-containing compounds, such as reaction products of phthalic anhydride with amines, which are used in a mixture with ethylenelvinyl acetate copolymers. In addition, EP-A-0 597 278 discloses reaction products of aminoalkylenecarboxylic acids with primary or secondary amines.
As polymeric paraffin-dispersants, the following are described in the literature, for example.
EP-A-0 688 796 discloses copolymers based on a,~i-unsaturated olefins containing at least 3 carbon atoms and a,~i-unsaturated dicarboxylic anhydrides, the dicarboxylic anhydride units being converted into imide, amide or ammonium units by polymer-analogous reaction with polyether amines or alkanolamines.
In addition EP-A-0 606 055 discloses terpolymers based on a,p-unsaturated dicarboxylic anhydrides, a,~3-unsaturated compounds and polyoxyalkylene ethers of lower unsaturated alcohols, and their use as paraffin inhibitors for paraffin-containing mineral oil products.
EP-A-0 154 177 describes reaction products of alternating copolymers based on malefic anhydride and a,~3-unsaturated compounds with primary monoalkylamines and aliphatic alcohols. These copolymers are particularly suitable as paraffin inhibitors for paraffin-containing mineral oil products, for example crude oils and distillation residues of mineral oil processing.
EP-A-0 436 151 discloses reaction products of copolymers based on malefic anhydride and a,~i-unsaturated compounds with dialkylamines.
EP-A-0 283 293 discloses copolymers based on aliphatic olefins and malefic anhydride, where the copolymer must have both ester and amide groups, of which each contains an alkyl group having at least 10 carbon atoms, and copolymers obtained by reacting a secondary amine with a polymer which contains anhydride groups, equal portions of amides and ammonium salts being formed from the anhydride groups.
These paraffin-dispersants are generally used together with other flow improvers, in particular ethylenelvinyl ester copolymers.
WO 93/14178 further discloses that the cold flow properties of mineral oils and mineral oil distillates can be considerably improved by using, as flow improvers, known polyaddition products (e.g. ethylenelvinyl ester copolymers) or polycondensation products in combination with so-called emulsion breakers.
These emulsion breakers are able to break an oillwater emulsion with the formation of separate oil and water phases. They must therefore comprise both hydrophobic and hydrophilic structural units, in order, on the one hand, to dissolve sufficiently in the oil of the oil/water emulsion, in order to break the latter, and, on the other hand, to accumulate in the aqueous phase after the phase separation.
Crude oils and middle distillates such as gas oil, diesel oil or fuel oil produced by distilling crude oils have, depending on the origin of the crude oils, differing contents of n-paraffins which, when the temperature is decreased, crystallize out as lamellar crystals and partially agglomerate with inclusion of oil. This crystallization and agglomerization impairs the flow properties of the oils or distillates, as a result of which faults may occur in the production, transport storage and/or use of the mineral oils and mineral oil distillates. When mineral oils are transported through pipelines, the crystallization phenomenon can lead, especially in winter, to deposits on the pipe walls, and in individual cases, for example when a pipeline is idle, can even lead to its complete blockage. During the storage and further processing of mineral oils, it can, in addition, be necessary to store the mineral oils in heated tanks in winter. In the case of mineral oil distillates, the crystallization may cause blockages of the filters in diesel engines and furnaces, as result of which reliable metering of the fuels is prevented and, under some circumstances, complete interruption in the supply of engine or furnace fuel occurs.

In addition, EP-A-0 061 894 describes oil-soluble nitrogen-containing compounds, such as reaction products of phthalic anhydride with amines, which are used in a mixture with ethylenelvinyl acetate copolymers. In addition, EP-A-0 597 278 discloses reaction products of aminoalkylenecarboxylic acids with primary or secondary amines.
As polymeric paraffin-dispersants, the following are described in the literature, for example.
EP-A-0 688 796 discloses copolymers based on a,~i-unsaturated olefins containing at least 3 carbon atoms and a,~i-unsaturated dicarboxylic anhydrides, the dicarboxylic anhydride units being converted into imide, amide or ammonium units by polymer-analogous reaction with polyether amines or alkanolamines.
In addition EP-A-0 606 055 discloses terpolymers based on a,p-unsaturated dicarboxylic anhydrides, a,~3-unsaturated compounds and polyoxyalkylene ethers of lower unsaturated alcohols, and their use as paraffin inhibitors for paraffin-containing mineral oil products.
EP-A-0 154 177 describes reaction products of alternating copolymers based on malefic anhydride and a,~3-unsaturated compounds with primary monoalkylamines and aliphatic alcohols. These copolymers are particularly suitable as paraffin inhibitors for paraffin-containing mineral oil products, for example crude oils and distillation residues of mineral oil processing.
EP-A-0 436 151 discloses reaction products of copolymers based on malefic anhydride and a,~i-unsaturated compounds with dialkylamines.
EP-A-0 283 293 discloses copolymers based on aliphatic olefins and malefic anhydride, where the copolymer must have both ester and amide groups, of which each contains an alkyl group having at least 10 carbon atoms, and copolymers obtained by reacting a secondary amine with a polymer which contains anhydride groups, equal portions of amides and ammonium salts being formed from the anhydride groups.
These paraffin-dispersants are generally used together with other flow improvers, in particular ethylenelvinyl ester copolymers.
WO 93/14178 further discloses that the cold flow properties of mineral oils and mineral oil distillates can be considerably improved by using, as flow improvers, known polyaddition products (e.g. ethylenelvinyl ester copolymers) or polycondensation products in combination with so-called emulsion breakers.
These emulsion breakers are able to break an oillwater emulsion with the formation of separate oil and water phases. They must therefore comprise both hydrophobic and hydrophilic structural units, in order, on the one hand, to dissolve sufficiently in the oil of the oil/water emulsion, in order to break the latter, and, on the other hand, to accumulate in the aqueous phase after the phase separation.
Suitable emulsion breakers having flow-improvinglparaffin-inhibiting action are alkylphenol-formaldehyde resins alkoxylated in accordance with WO 93114178. In this case, the alkoxy side chain representing the hydrophilic structural part contains up to 50 alkoxy units, each of which have 2-6 carbon atoms.
EP-A-0 311 452 discloses condensation products of at least 80 mol%
difunctional alkylated phenol and aldehydes which contain 1 to 30 carbon atoms as flow-improvers for mineral oils. The use of condensation products of monoalkylated phenols with aldehydes as flow-improvers or paraffin-dispersants is not disclosed.
The above described paraffin-dispersing action of the known paraffin dispersants is not always sufficient, so that when oils are cooled large paraffin crystals sometimes form which, because of their higher density, sediment in the course of time and thus lead to the formation of a paraffin-rich layer at the bottom of storage vessels.
Problems occur especially when additives are added to paraffin-rich narrow distillation cuts having boiling ranges of 20-90 % by volume below 110°C, in particular below 100°C. Even in the case of distillates having a temperature difference greater than 20°C, in particular greater than 25°C, between final boiling point and the temperature at which 90 % by volume are distilled, the addition of known additives frequently does not achieve sufi'icient paraffin dispersion.
The object was therefore to improve the flowability, more precisely in particular the paraffin dispersion in mineral oils and mineral oil distillates by adding suitable additives.
In addition, the solubility of paraffin-dispersing polar nitrogen compounds in the paraffinic or aromatic solvents is frequently unsatisfactory. The object was thus in addition to find a solubilizer between the polar nitrogen compounds and the paraffinic or aromatic solvents.
Surprisingly, it has been found that alkylphenol-aldehyde resins, which themselves have a paraffin-dispersing action, are outstanding solubilizers between these substances.
The invention relates to a process for improving the flowability of paraffin-containing mineral oils and mineral oil distillates, which comprises adding A) at least one ethylene/vinyl ester co- or terpolymer, 5 B) at least one alkylphenol-aldehyde resin, where the resin or resins contain at most 10 molo of alkylphenols which contain more than one alkyl group, and if appropriate, C) at least one paraffin dispersant different from B
to the paraffin-containing mineral oil or mineral oil distillate.
The alkylphenols are preferably para-substituted. They are preferably substituted by more than one alkyl group to at most 7 molo, in particular to at most 3 molo.
The alkyl group is from 1 to 12 carbon atoms in length.
The use of the alkylphenol-aldehyde resins B in combination with the ethylene/vinyl ester co-/terpolymer A and, if appropriate, the paraffin dispersants C which are different from B has a beneficial effect on the paraffin dispersion, i.e. the accumulation of the paraffin crystals precipitating out on cooling, e.g. on the tank bottom or the fuel filter, is delayed or prevented. As a result of the uniform dispersion of the paraffin crystals, a homogeneously turbid phase is obtained. In addition, there is an improvement in the cold-flow properties, in particular the filterability, below the cloud point, of the paraffin-containing mineral oils and in particular mineral oil distillates containing added additives.
In a preferred embodiment of the process according to the invention, 5a A) 10-5000 ppm, preferably 10-2000 ppm, based on the mineral oil or mineral oil distillate, of at least one ethylene/vinyl ester co- or terpolymer, B) 10-2000 ppm, perferably 10-1000 ppm, based on the mineral oil or mineral oil distillate, of at least one alkylphenol-aldehyde resin and, if appropriate, C) up to 2000 ppm, preferably up to 1000 ppm, based on the mineral oil or mineral oil distillate of at least one paraffin dispersant different from B, are added to the paraffin-containing mineral oil or mineral oil distillate.
The additives A, B and, if appropriate, C, can be added separately to the paraffin-containing mineral oils or mineral oil distillates in this process.
Alternatively, the additive A can be added alone and the additives B and C can be added in a mixture. Mixtures of this type comprise B) 10 - 90% by weight of at least one alkylphenol-aldehyde resin and C) 90 - 10% by weight of at least one paraffin dispersant different from B, the total of the additives B and C always being 100% by weight. Additive B can also here have a solubilizing action for additive C in organic solvents.
It is also possible to add a joint mixture of the additives A, B and, if appropriate, C, to the mineral oil or mineral oil distillate. Mixtures of this type comprise A) 5 - 90, preferably 10 - 90, % by weight of at least one ethylenelvinyl ester co-or terpolymer, B) 5 - 90, preferably 10 - 90, % by weight of at least one alkylphenol-aldehyde resin, and, if appropriate, C) 5 - 90, preferably 10 - 90, % by weight of at least one paraffin dispersant different from B, where the total of the additives A, B and, if appropriate, C must always be 100% by weight.
In a preferred embodiment, the individual additives or the corresponding mixtures are dissolved or dispersed in an organic solvent or dispersion medium prior to the addition to the mineral oils or mineral oil distillates. In the case of the mixture of the additives A, B and, if appropriate, C, and of the mixture of the additives B
and C, the solution or dispersion comprises 5 - 90, preferably 5 - 75, % by weight of the respective mixture.
EP-A-0 311 452 discloses condensation products of at least 80 mol%

Alkylphenol-aldehyde resins B are known in principle and are described, for example, in Rompp Chemie Lexikon [Rompps Chemistry Lexicon], 9th edition, Thieme Verlag 1988-92, Volume 4, pp. 3351ff.
The alkyl radicals of the o- or p-alkylphenol have 1-20, preferably 4-16, in particular 6-12 carbon atoms; they are preferably n-, tert- and isobutyl, n- and isopentyl, n- and isohexyl, n- and isooctyl, n- and isononyl, and n- and isodecyl, n- and isododecyl. The alkylphenol-aldehyde can also comprise up to 50 mol% of phenol units. For the alkylphenol-aldehyde resin, identical or different alkylphenols can be used. The aliphatic aldehyde in the alkylphenol-aldehyde resin B has 1-4 carbon atoms and is preferably formaldehyde. The molecular weight of the alkylphenol-aldehyde resins is 400-10,000, preferably 400-5000, glmol. It is a precondition in this case that the resins are oil-soluble.
The alkylphenol-aldehyde resins B are prepared in a known manner by base catalysis, condensation products of the resol type being formed, or by acid catalysis, condensation products of the novolak type being formed.
The condensates produced in both ways are suitable as additive B in the process according to the invention. Preference is given to the condensation in the presence of acid catalysts.
To prepare the alkylphenol-aldehyde resins, a bifunctional o- or p-alkylphenol having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, preferably 4 to 16, in particular 6 to 12, carbon atoms per alkyl group, or mixtures thereof, and an aliphatic aldehyde having 1 to 4 carbon atoms are reacted together, about 0.5-2 mol, preferably 0.7-1.3 mol, and in particular equimolar amounts, of aldehyde being used per mol of alkylphenol compound.

Alkylphenol and aldehyde are customarily reacted in the presence of alkaline catalysts, for example alkali metal hydroxides or alkylamines, or acid catalysts, for example inorganic or organic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, sulfonic acid, sulfamido acids or haloacetic acids, and in the presence of an organic solvent forming an azeotrope with water, for example toluene, xylene, higher aromatics or mixtures thereof. The reaction mixture is heated to a temperature of 90 to 200°C, preferably 100-160°C, the resulting reaction water being removed during the reaction by azeotropic distillation. Solvents which do not release protons under the condensation conditions may remain in the products after the condensation reaction. The resins can be used directly or after neutralization of the catalyst, if appropriate after further dilution of the solution with aliphatic andlor aromatic hydrocarbons or hydrocarbon mixtures, e.g. petroleum fractions, kerosine, decane, pentadecane, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, or solvents such as ~Solvent Naphtha, ~Shellsol AB, ~Solvesso 150, ~Solvesso 200, ~Exxsol, ~ISOPAR and Shellsol D types.

As additive B, likewise, use can be made of mixtures of alkylphenol-aldehyde resins which contain different alkylphenols andlor aldehydes as components. In the same manner, use can also be made of mixtures of a plurality of paraffin-dispersants C different from B. In this manner, the flow improvers can be adapted to highly individual requirements.

The cold-flow behavior was determined as follows:
The abovementioned test oils were admixed at room temperature with the amounts specified in Table 2 of the additives heated to 60°C, the oils were heated at 40°C for 15 minutes with occasional shaking and then cooled to room temperature. The CFPP (cold filter plugging point) was determined as specified by EN 116 for the middle distillate to which additives have thus been added.
The paraffin dispersion in middle distillates was detected as follows in the short sedimentation test:
150 ml of the middle distillate to which additives have been added as described previously were cooled to -13°C at -2°Clhour in 200 ml measuring cylinders in a freezer cabinet and kept at this temperature for 16 hours. Volume and appearance of both the sedimented paraffin phase and the oil phase above it were then determined and evaluated visually. A low amount of sediment and a turbid oil phase indicate good paraffin dispersion.
In addition, the lower 20% by volume was isolated and the cloud point was determined as specified by ISO 3015. A cloud point of the lower phase (CPKS) which deviates only slightly from the blank value of the oil indicates good paraffin dispersion.
For the following experiments, representative winter diesel fuels from German refineries were used. The middle distillates were admixed at room temperature with the specified amounts of the additives heated to 60°C, heated at 40°C for 15 minutes with occasional shaking and then cooled to room temperature. The CFPP
was determined as specified by EN 116 for the middle distillate to which additives had thus been added.
The middle distillates to which additives had been added were cooled to -13°C at -2°Clhour in 200 ml measuring cylinders in a freezer cabinet and kept at this temperature for 16 hours. Volume and appearance of both the sediment (paraffin phase) and the oil phase above were then determined and evaluated visually. A
small amount of sediment and a turbid oil phase indicate good paraffin dispersion.
In addition, the bottom 20% by volume was isolated and the cloud point determined.
A cloud point of the bottom phase (CPKS) which deviates only slightly from the blank value of the oil indicates good paraffin dispersion.

If appropriate, polar solubilizers such as 2-ethylhexanol, decanol, isodecanol or isotridecanol can also be added.
The invention further relates to mineral oils or mineral oil distillates which comprise A) at least one ethylene/vinyl ester co- or terpolymer, B) at least one alkylphenol-aldehyde resin and, if appropriate, C) at least one paraffin dispersant different from B.
Preference is given in this case to mineral oils or mineral oil distillates which comprise A) 10-5000 ppm, preferably 10-2000 ppm, of at least one ethylenelvinyl ester co- or terpolymer, B) 10-2000 ppm, preferably 10-1000 ppm, of at least one alkylphenol-aldehyde resin and, if appropriate, C) up to 2000 ppm, preferably up to 1000 ppm, of at least one paraffin dispersant different from B.
The mineral oils or mineral distillates can also contain other customary additives, such as dewaxing aids, corrosion inhibitors, antioxidants, lubricity additives, sludge inhibitors, cetane number improvers, detergent additives, dehazers, conductivity improvers or dyes.
The invention further relates to an additive mixture for paraffin dispersion in paraffin-containing mineral oils and mineral oil distillates which comprises at least one paraffin dispersant and at least one aliphatic or aromatic liquid hydrocarbon as solvent, wherein at least one alkylphenol-aldehyde resin is added as solubilizer.
The invention further relates to a process for preparing solutions of paraffin dispersants in aliphatic or aromatic liquid hydrocarbons, by adding an alkylphenol-aldehyde resin to the mixture of these substances.
Alkylphenol-aldehyde resins B are known in principle and are described, for example, in Rompp Chemie Lexikon [Rompps Chemistry Lexicon], 9th edition, Thieme Verlag 1988-92, Volume 4, pp. 3351ff.
The alkyl radicals of the o- or p-alkylphenol have 1-20, preferably 4-16, in particular 6-12 carbon atoms; they are preferably n-, tert- and isobutyl, n- and isopentyl, n- and isohexyl, n- and isooctyl, n- and isononyl, and n- and isodecyl, n- and isododecyl. The alkylphenol-aldehyde can also comprise up to 50 mol% of phenol units. For the alkylphenol-aldehyde resin, identical or different alkylphenols can be used. The aliphatic aldehyde in the alkylphenol-aldehyde resin B has 1-4 carbon atoms and is preferably formaldehyde. The molecular weight of the alkylphenol-aldehyde resins is 400-10,000, preferably 400-5000, glmol. It is a precondition in this case that the resins are oil-soluble.
The alkylphenol-aldehyde resins B are prepared in a known manner by base catalysis, condensation products of the resol type being formed, or by acid catalysis, condensation products of the novolak type being formed.
The condensates produced in both ways are suitable as additive B in the process according to the invention. Preference is given to the condensation in the presence of acid catalysts.
To prepare the alkylphenol-aldehyde resins, a bifunctional o- or p-alkylphenol having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, preferably 4 to 16, in particular 6 to 12, carbon atoms per alkyl group, or mixtures thereof, and an aliphatic aldehyde having 1 to 4 carbon atoms are reacted together, about 0.5-2 mol, preferably 0.7-1.3 mol, and in particular equimolar amounts, of aldehyde being used per mol of alkylphenol compound.
Suitable alkylphenols are, in particular, C4 - C~2-alkylphenols such as o- or p-cresol, n-, sec- and tert-butylphenol, n- and isopentyl phenol, n- and isohexylphenol, n- and isooctylphenol, n- and isononylphenol, n- and isodecylphenol, n- and isododecylphenol.
The alkylphenols to be used can include small amounts, preferably up to about mol%, in particular up to 7 mol%, and especially up to 3 mol%, of dialkylphenols.
Particularly suitable aldehydes are formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and butyraldehyde;
preference is given to formaldehyde.
The formaldehyde can be used in the form of paraformaldehyde or in the form of a preferably 20-40% strength by weight aqueous formaline solution. Corresponding amounts of trioxane can also be used.
Alkylphenol and aldehyde are customarily reacted in the presence of alkaline catalysts, for example alkali metal hydroxides or alkylamines, or acid catalysts, for example inorganic or organic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, sulfonic acid, sulfamido acids or haloacetic acids, and in the presence of an organic solvent forming an azeotrope with water, for example toluene, xylene, higher aromatics or mixtures thereof. The reaction mixture is heated to a temperature of 90 to 200°C, preferably 100-160°C, the resulting reaction water being removed during the reaction by azeotropic distillation. Solvents which do not release protons under the condensation conditions may remain in the products after the condensation reaction. The resins can be used directly or after neutralization of the catalyst, if appropriate after further dilution of the solution with aliphatic andlor aromatic hydrocarbons or hydrocarbon mixtures, e.g. petroleum fractions, kerosine, decane, pentadecane, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, or solvents such as ~Solvent Naphtha, ~Shellsol AB, ~Solvesso 150, ~Solvesso 200, ~Exxsol, ~ISOPAR and Shellsol D types.

The following applies equally to all three additives A, B and C: as additive A, use can also be made of mixtures of various ethylenelvinyl ester co- or terpolymers which have a variable qualitative andlor quantitative composition andlor variable viscosities (measured at 140°C). As additive B, likewise, use can be made of mixtures of alkylphenol-aldehyde resins which contain different alkylphenols andlor aldehydes as components. In the same manner, use can also be made of mixtures of a plurality of paraffin-dispersants C different from B. In this manner, the flow improvers can be adapted to highly individual requirements.
The additives A, B and, if appropriate, C can be added in the process according to the invention to oils of animal, vegetable or mineral origin.
Paraffin-containing mineral oils and mineral oil distillates for the purposes of the invention are, for example, crude oils, distillation residues of mineral oil processing or other paraffin-containing oils. (See, for example, Compositions and Properties Petroleum, F. Enke Publishers, Stuttgart 1981, pages 1 - 37). Paraffin-containing mineral oil products, in particular middle distillates such as, for example, jet fuel, diesel, fuel oil EL and heavy fuel oil are characterized by a boiling range of 500°C, preferably 150-400°C. The paraffins are unbranched or branched alkanes having about 10-50 carbon atoms.

The cold-flow behavior was determined as follows:
The abovementioned test oils were admixed at room temperature with the amounts specified in Table 2 of the additives heated to 60°C, the oils were heated at 40°C for 15 minutes with occasional shaking and then cooled to room temperature. The CFPP (cold filter plugging point) was determined as specified by EN 116 for the middle distillate to which additives have thus been added.
The paraffin dispersion in middle distillates was detected as follows in the short sedimentation test:
150 ml of the middle distillate to which additives have been added as described previously were cooled to -13°C at -2°Clhour in 200 ml measuring cylinders in a freezer cabinet and kept at this temperature for 16 hours. Volume and appearance of both the sedimented paraffin phase and the oil phase above it were then determined and evaluated visually. A low amount of sediment and a turbid oil phase indicate good paraffin dispersion.
In addition, the lower 20% by volume was isolated and the cloud point was determined as specified by ISO 3015. A cloud point of the lower phase (CPKS) which deviates only slightly from the blank value of the oil indicates good paraffin dispersion.
For the following experiments, representative winter diesel fuels from German refineries were used. The middle distillates were admixed at room temperature with the specified amounts of the additives heated to 60°C, heated at 40°C for 15 minutes with occasional shaking and then cooled to room temperature. The CFPP
was determined as specified by EN 116 for the middle distillate to which additives had thus been added.
The middle distillates to which additives had been added were cooled to -13°C at -2°Clhour in 200 ml measuring cylinders in a freezer cabinet and kept at this temperature for 16 hours. Volume and appearance of both the sediment (paraffin phase) and the oil phase above were then determined and evaluated visually. A
small amount of sediment and a turbid oil phase indicate good paraffin dispersion.
In addition, the bottom 20% by volume was isolated and the cloud point determined.
A cloud point of the bottom phase (CPKS) which deviates only slightly from the blank value of the oil indicates good paraffin dispersion.
