Research on Fuel Additives During 2011-2015

Аннотация

The situation evolved in the domain of fuel additives production during 2011-2015 is reviewed through the analysis of literature and patent sources and statistical data. The main trends in development of additives are determined and the main types of additives are characterized. It is noted that the interest of developers worldwide was focused on additives of biocomponents (oxygenates and biodiesel). In Russia, where imported additives were prevalent until recently, active process of import substitution has begun. The additive demand of Russian refineries for the production of modern quality fuels is analyzed and the domestic developments are characterized. Technical solutions that offer alternatives to the use of additives are proposed.
