The present invention relates to middle distillate fuel blends, in particular renewable diesel fuel blends comprising a mixture of aryl ethers.

The present disclosure relates to novel hydrocarbon fuel blends that provide increased power and a broader operating range when utilized as fuel for homogeneous charge compression ignition engines.

Proposed is a pretreatment desulfurization system including a desulfurization agent storage tank for storing a liquid-phase pretreatment desulfurization agent and a metering pump for supplying the liquid-phase pretreatment desulfurization agent from the desulfurization agent storage tank to a fuel supply line through which marine fuel oil is supplied to a marine engine in a predetermined ratio. Since a fluid mixture composed of the marine fuel oil and the pretreatment desulfurization agent is supplied to the marine engine, sulfur oxides are adsorbed and removed during combustion of the fluid mixture.

Aqueous dispersion of paraffine inhibitors, comprising a continuous aqueous phase comprising water and a water-miscible organic solvent, a dispersed phase comprising at least one paraffin inhibitor component, and at least one anionic surfactant, methods of manufacturing such aqueous dispersions, and the use of such aqueous dispersions as paraffin inhibitor or pour point depressant for crude oil or other hydrocarbon fluids, such as fuel oils or diesel.

The invention relates to the field of petroleum refining and petrochemistry, and specifically to the composition of a multi-function universal additive and to a fuel composition containing said additive and intended for use in internal combustion engines, and also in boilers and furnaces. The present fuel additive contains aliphatic alcohols, water, carbamide and acetanilide Use of the proposed multi-function universal additive in the composition of fuels provides reduced specific fuel consumption, fewer harmful impurities in exhaust and waste gases (CO, CH, soot), and reduced soot formation in the combustion zone. The present additive has dispersant properties in the composition of heavy distillate and residual fuels.

A fire-starting material is disclosed. The fire-starting material may include metal powder, fibers, oxidizers, other powdered fuels, and a binder. The binder may be a hydrocarbon or a combination of hydrocarbons made up of molecules with about 10 to about 80 carbon atoms. The binder may hold the metal powder and the fibers in suspension. Additionally, the binder (and hence the fire-starting material overall) may be manually pliable between about 5 and about 50 degrees Celsius. To use the fire-starting material, a user may manually deform the fire-starting material to tear off a piece thereof. The piece may be applied to a fuel source and lit on fire.

A combustion enhancer designed for solid and liquid hydrocarbon and organic fuels increases solid and liquid hydrocarbon and organic fuels' thermal efficiency and promotes more favorable environmental outcomes. The fuel additive consists of a composition containing natural minerals that can be added to solid and liquid hydrocarbon and organic fuels before their entry into a combustion chamber. This additive interacts with the fuel during combustion in various settings, including direct-fired burners, furnaces, or open flames.
