BIODEGRADABLE VPCI BUILDING BLOCK FOR BIOFUELS

Sažetak Godinama se kemijska industrija oslanjala na naftu i naftne derivate kao sastojke tisuća proizvoda. Brojni industrijski proizvođači koriste derivate nafte u svojim formulacijama. Međutim, nafta i plin nalaze se u središtu današnje brige oko energije, a njihova cijena drastično raste. Sve strože regulative vezane za očuvanje okoliša zahtijevaju dodatni napor i troškove za proizvođače proizvoda na osnovi ulja i njihove korisnike. To su osnovni razlozi što uporaba obnovljivih proizvoda na bio-osnovi ne samo da pruža sigurnu alternativu proizvođačima i korisnicima, već pruža mogućnost usporedbe u izvedbi, ekonomičnosti i biorazgradljivosti finalnih proizvoda. Primjena hlapljivih inhibitora korozije-VpCI kod proizvoda za podmazivanje pruža brojne prednosti. Kada se dodaju hlapljivi inhibitori korozije-VpCI u ulja ili goriva koja služe kao „nosač“, oni pružaju zaštitu od korozije strojevima tijekom rada, mirovanja i transporta. Pravilna kombinacija hlapljivih inhibitora korozije-VpCI produljuje život strojeva i smanjuje korozivno trošenje sustava goriva i spremnika. Hlapljivi inhibitori korozije za biogoriva BBB (Building Blocks for Biofuels) i BBB Bio su snažni inhibitori koji kontroliraju korozivna svojstva biogoriva. BBB i BBB Bio su inkorporirana patentirana VpCI tehnologija koja pruža zaštitu u 3 faze: tekućoj, međufazi i parnoj fazi. BBB Bio je razvijen s uljem soje kao „nosačem“ VpCI, a može se dodati različitim biogorivima kao i mnogim uobičajenim vrstama goriva uključujući dizel i benzin, itijekom rada i tijekom skladištenja, transporta i distribucije. BBB i BBB Bio prošli su test korozije u skladu sa MIL-PRF-25017 i ASTM-D-665-92 standardima.Abstract For years the chemical industry has relied on petroleum as an ingredient in thousands of products. Numerous industrial product manufacturers use petroleum-derived substances in their formulations. However, the oil and gas are the focus of today’s energy concern, and their prices are also increasing by drastically. Tighter environmental regulations continue to put pressure on oil-based products and their users. These are the reasons why the use of renewable biobased products provides not only environmentally safe alternative to the manufacturers and users, but also offers comparable performance, economics and biodegradability of the final products. Incorporation of Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitors (VpCI) in lubricating products provides a number of advantages. VpCIs, when added to the carrier, provide corrosion protection to machinery during the operation, storage or transportation period. Properly chosen combination of VpCIs prolongs service life of machinery by minimizing the corrosive wear of the fuel systems and storage tanks. VpCI Building Blocks for Biofuels (BBB) and BBB Bio are the powerful corrosion inhibitors to control the corrosive characteristics of biobased fuels. BBB and BBB Bio incorporate patented VpCI technology to provide protection in all 3 biofuel phases: liquid, interface, and vapor phases. In addition, BBB Bio was developed with soybean oil as a carrier, it can be added to a variety of biofuel and regular types including diesel and gasoline during operation, storage, transport, and distribution BBB and BBB Bio are passing Rust test in accordance to MIL-PRF-25017 and ASTM D-665-92.
