Modern Trends in The Use of Additives in Fuel and Oil Materials (Overview)

Abstract

Domestic and foreign literature data were reviewed on the conditions and features of additives use, their required content in fuel and oil materials, and the study of their characteristics in order to systematize data on additives used to improve the operational properties of fuel and oil materials. The use of additives in the composition of fuel and oil materials can significantly increase the level of their operational properties, without serious production costs associated with deep cleaning and preliminary preparation of raw products, compounding of raw products, technical re-equipment of production, etc. A list of additives was offered to fuel and oil materials used in the world practice of their production and application, added with dyes. These additives should be included in the main package of production branded premium fuel and oil materials, create their classification, simplify the procedure for identifying different batches, simplify the procedure for transportation, storage and distribution of fuel and oil materials. At the same time, among all the variety of dyes that are currently used for coloring to fuel and oil materials, the most appropriate is to use those that carry out multifunctional properties. These properties, depending on the type of materials, along with the color, can be density, detonation resistance, anti-corrosion. This approach, on one hand, will allow to balance the amount and properties of additives included in the overall package, on the other hand - will reduce production cost of the fuel and oil materials.
