Effect of Pour Depressants on the Optical and Low-Temperature Properties of Diesel Fuels

Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils Aims and scope

Abstract

The effect of the concentration of three types of pour point depressants on the optical and low-temperature properties of diesel fuels was investigated. The pour point depressants were based on copolymers of higher alkyl methacrylates with vinyl acetate, ethylene with vinyl acetate, and ethylene with a-olefins. A correlation was found between an increase in the optical density of fuel with additives and improvement of its low-temperature properties; a decrease in the solid point and the limit filterability temperature. Based on the results obtained, it can be considered possible to develop a fast method for predicting the low-temperature properties of diesel fuels using optical methods.
