Use of bioorganic compounds for reducing the moisture content of diesel fuel to reduce the icing effect

  • Published:
Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils Aims and scope

The possibility of reducing the moisture content in diesel fuel by using a hydrophilic polymer, TPA (thermal polyaspartate ion), which is simply and cheaply synthesized, was investigated. It was shown that when TPA is added in a given amount to a given volume of diesel fuel, the moisture content decreases significantly.
