Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for separating emulsions of oil and water, the method comprising incorporating a demulsifying-effective amount of a silicone demulsifier into an emulsion comprising an oil phase and an aqueous phase, the silicone demulsifier having a molecular structure comprising a polysiloxane backbone of at least two siloxane units covalently bound to (i) one or more alkylene oxide groups comprising one or more alkylene oxide units independently having one to five carbon atoms, and (ii) one or more oxirane-containing and/or oxetane-containing groups, wherein said oxirane or oxetane is optionally ring-opened by reaction with a chemical or group capable of ring-opening an oxirane or oxetane ring, respectively, and wherein a solid filler is substantially excluded from the silicone demulsifier and emulsion. The invention also relates to compositions containing the above-described demulsifier and the water and oil phases of an emulsion.

Abstract:
Use of a Fischer-Tropsch derived fuel in a fuel composition is disclosed, for the purpose of reducing catalyst degradation in a catalytically driven or catalyst containing system which is running on, or is to be run on, the composition or its products, wherein the Fischer-Tropsch derived fuel is used to reduce the level of silicon in the fuel composition, such as by reducing the concentration of silicon-containing antifoaming additive(s) in the fuel composition. It may also be used to reduce loss of efficiency of fuel atomization and/or combustion, and/or to reduce build up of silicon deposits, in a fuel consuming system which is running on, or is to be run on, the fuel composition.
Abstract:
The invention provides fuel oils comprising a major proportion of a mixture of A) a middle distillate fuel oil and B) a biofuel oil, and also a minor proportion C) of an oil-soluble, crosslinked block copolymer composed of C2- to C4-alkylene oxides.

Abstract:
A fuel composition, and a method and an apparatus for combusting it in a two-stroke engine, in which molybdenum introduced from the fuel will interact with alkaline earth metal originating from a detergent or other co-ingredient of the fuel in the combustion products to increase detergency without increasing the level of alkaline earth metal or compounds present in the fuel or combustion products thereof. In this manner, the engine operates more cleanly and efficiently without increasing the risk of harmful alkaline earth materials and compounds thereof blocking and poisoning catalysts, sensors and/or automotive on-board diagnostic devices, and it can lead to improved durability of exhaust after treatment systems.
Abstract:
A drag-reducing polymer capable of dissolving even in cold fluids is described, along with a method for manufacturing said drag-reducing polymer. The drag-reducing polymer has at least one alpha-olefin monomer with between a four and nine carbon chain length and a co-monomer and has less than 25% monomers (molar content) with carbon chain lengths of 12 or longer. A drag-reducing polymer suspension is also described.
Abstract:

In particular, the defoaming agents and demulsifiers are comprised of copolymers which have structures constituting a backbone of polysiloxane onto which is grafted an organic group. These structures comprise a polymer of the formula MDxDnullyDnullzM, where M is O0.5Si(CH3)3, D is a OSi(CH3)2, Dnull is OSi(CH3)R, Dnull is OSi(CH3)Rnull, R is a polyhydric C6-C28 organic group, Rnull is a phenol derivative or a long chain aliphatic group or polyethers, z is between 0 and 80, xnullynullz is between 10-200, x/z is null1, and x/(ynullz) is between about 1 and about 5, or formula MnullDaMnull where Mnull is O0.5Si(CH3)2R, a is between 4-10, and R and D are the same as defined above.
Abstract:
A method of inhibiting or retarding formation of hydrates from water and a lower alkane, such as methane or ethane, involves adding additives which comprise (i) a corrosion inhibitor and (ii) a salt which is of formula [R1(R2)XR3]+Y−, wherein each of R1, R2 and R3 is bonded directly to X, each of R1 and R2, which may be the same or different is an alkyl group of at least 4 carbons, X is S, NR4 or PR4, wherein each of R3 and R4 which may be the same or different represents hydrogen or an organic group, with the proviso that at least one of R3 and R4 is an organic group of at least 4 carbons, and Y is an anion, the additives being added in an amount effective to inhibit or retard hydrate formation, to a medium susceptible to hydrate formation.
