An organometallic chemistry-based compound for preventing coke formation in a hydrocarbon fluid system. The organometallic chemistry-based compound includes a coordination complex that interrupts an autoxidative pathway of coke formation. A component and a system for mitigating coke formation during delivery or circulation of a hydrocarbon fluid. The component includes a contact surface configured to be in contact with the hydrocarbon fluid. The contact surface is functionalized with an inhibitor ligand to form an inhibitor ligand-functionalized surface. The inhibitor ligand-functionalized surface interrupts an autoxidative pathway of coke formation.

The present disclosure describes an additive composition comprising: (a) an organometallic compound; (b) a nitrogen-containing compound; (c) an aryl peroxide; and (d) at least one solvent, wherein the organometallic compound to the nitrogen-containing compound to the aryl peroxide weight ratio is in a range of 7:0.5:0.5-9:1.5:1.5. The addition of additive composition not only synergistically improves the properties of the at least one fuel, such as, LPG for use as torch gas for cutting and welding application, but also reduces the consumption of both fuel and oxygen for cutting applications. The present disclosure is also directed towards a process for preparation of the fuel composition.

A three-phase fuel composition may be synthesized by producing a first composition by trapping at least one gas into pores of an adsorbent, producing a coated composition by spray coating a solution on the first composition, and mixing the coated composition with a liquid fuel.
