Biodiesel components efficiently examined, adequate oxidation and chilly stability is crucial for the secure use of biodiesel.
Ample oxidation and chilly stability is crucial for the secure use of biodiesel (FAME). The components used should not have any destructive interactions with the FAME itself or the bottom diesel gasoline and its components. Solely two antioxidants and one stream improver had been capable of move the difficult no-harm assessments in 2023 and be included on the no-harm lists.
Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME, biodiesel) is usually stabilized with components to make sure secure storage and use at low temperatures in winter. In cooperation with the mineral oil business, AGQM has developed the no-harm assessments to check the additivation of biodiesel with antioxidants and stream improvers for potential destructive interactions with FAME, the fossil diesel gasoline and numerous components.
Along with the usual necessities within the take a look at applications for pure biodiesel, a sequence of different particular assessments akin to interplay, filtration and engine oil compatibility assessments in addition to the XUD-9 engine take a look at are carried out in a diesel gasoline with 10% biodiesel content material (B10).
Relying on the additive kind, particular assessments such because the relative effectivity to BHT for antioxidants and the froth, emulsion and corrosion take a look at for stream improvers full the demanding take a look at applications, that are due to this fact distinctive worldwide.
On this 12 months’s take a look at spherical, three components had been capable of move all of the demanding assessments. The antioxidants Spec-Support BIO9401 and Spec-Support BIO9402 (each VEOLIA Water Applied sciences and Options Belgium BV) and the stream improver Bio WinterFlowTM 902 (Innospec Ltd) had been included within the respective no-harm lists.
