Definitions

  • the invention relates to the use of terpolymers comprising as monomer components a) at least one lower alkene, b) at least one long-chain alpha-olefin and c) at least one polar polymerizable monomer, as an additive for fuel oils and lubricants and in particular as a cold flow improver in fuel oils; the fuel oils and lubricants added with these terpolymers; and additive packages containing such terpolymers.
  • fuel additives have been added for a long time in small concentrations, which often consist of combinations of nucleators for the early formation of small crystallites of the paraffins with the actual cold flow improvers (also referred to as CFI or MDFI). These in turn show similar crystallization properties as the paraffins of the fuel, but prevent their growth, so that the filter can be passed at significantly lower temperatures than the unadditized fuel.

  • the composition of a fuel is usually not constant, but varies more or less, so that the ideal fuel combination has to be readjusted for each fuel.
  • MDFI Middle Distillate Flow Improver Due to the chemical structure of the MDFI, these often have to be added to the refinery streams at elevated temperatures in order to allow the MDFI to be pumped in and completely dissolved in the fuel.
  • Cold flow improvers are added in amounts of approximately 50 to 500 ppm, depending on the nature of the base fuel and the additive.
