Petro-diesel

As discussed above, CFPP and LTFT of biodiesel and its blends in petro-diesel demonstrate nearly linear correlation with respect to CP. Results from linear regression analyses yielded the following equations ... [Pg.15]

Jatropha oil can be used as biodiesel and is highly compatible with petro-diesel up to 100% and can be used in diesel engines without having to make any change in them. [Pg.162]

Biodiesel (fatty acid methyl esters) is an alternative and renewable energy source, the development of which is hoped to reduce global dependence on petroleum, as well as air pollution. Biodiesel generated Ifom a variety of vegetable oils and animal fats has characteristics similar to those associated with petro-diesel, including viscosity, volumetric heating value, cetane number, and flash point [1-3]. Several processes have thus far been developed for the production of biodiesel via acid-, alkali-, and enzyme-catalyzed... [Pg.637]

Regarding the annual population growth, daily energy requirement, environment problems such as air pollution and global warming caused by fossil fuels (mainly due to emission of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide), high price of petroleum fuel, and reduction of the petroleum reservoir, experts are trying to find novel biofuel production methods to replace petro-diesel with biofuel. [Pg.289]

Biodiesel is a renewable nonpetroleum-based diesel fuel, which consists of monoalkyl (mainly methyl, ethyl, or propyl) esters of long chain fatty acids produced from vegetable oils or animal fats by transesterification with methanol or ethanol. Certain fuel characteristics have made biodiesels an attractive alternative liquid fuel to be used as such or as a constituent of a blend with petro diesel (Delfort et al., 2008). It is known to enhance engine performance through its better lubricity and more complete burning (Pramanik and Tripathi, 2005 Boumay et al., 2005 Knothe et al., 2005). It has a high flash point, better viscosity, and a caloric... [Pg.401]

Canada s Montreal oil refinery, has operated successfully since 1986. A variation for treating extracts from tar sands was developed by Petro-Canada Exploration and the Department of Energy Mines and Resources and piloted in Canada in the 1980s. Another variation, for making diesel fuel from vegetable oils, was piloted in Vancouver in 1992. [Pg.49]

CED [Conversion Extraction Desulfurization] A process for reducing the sulfur content of diesel fuel. Peroxyacetic acid oxidizes the organic sulfur compounds to sulfones, which are removed by solvent extraction. Developed in 2000 by Petro Star. [Pg.68]

With respect to commercial oxidation process development, Petro Star Inc. recently announced a desulfurization technology which removes sulfur from diesel fuels using chemical oxidation " " ". Desulfurization of diesel fuel is accomplished by first forming a water emulsion with the diesel fuel. In the emulsion, the sulfur atom is oxidized to a sulfone using peroxyacetic acid 138,145 -g 5y liquid/liquid extraction to remove the oxidized... [Pg.347]
