Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a method of providing a liquid hydrocarbon fuel that is suitable for use in an engine. More particularly, the invention concerns a method of providing a fuel which comprises no more than a prescribed maximum amount of waterborne chloride ions, i.e. CI " ions solvated in water.
  • the method of the present invention is particularly suitable for providing a jet fuel for use in a jet engine and a composition, though may also be used to provide fuels suitable for other engines, such as gasoline and diesel for automobiles and trucks.
  • Hydrocarbon fuels which are liquid at ambient handling temperatures such as kerosene, gasoline and diesel, are often produced at an oil refinery by a continuous process that typically includes a sweetening step, to oxidize any mercaptans in the fuel, followed by a washing step, to reduce or eliminate contaminants remaining in the fuel after sweetening, and a subsequent drying step, to reduce the amount of water retained in the fuel after washing. Drying may involve passing the washed, sweetened fuel through a salt filter, e.g. a salt bed, made of sodium chloride and/or potassium chloride.
  • a jet fuel can be produced by a Merox Treatment Process, such as illustrated in Figure 1 (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merox).
  • a salt filter to dry the fuel can substantially eliminate the amount of entrained water and free water retained in the fuel and substantially reduce the amount of dissolved water retained in the fuel.
  • salt filtering will not eliminate all water retained in the fuel.
  • IATA Guidelines that dictate the suitability of jet fuels for fuelling aircraft at airports, currently permit a maximum of entrained and free water content of 30 ppm (mg/1) in a jet fuel at ground level, but the Guidelines do not specify a maximum of water that is dissolved in the jet fuel. Although water is only sparingly soluble in jet fuel, in a hot and humid location, a jet fuel could contain significantly more than 30ppm dissolved water, e.g. up to 100 ppm or more.
  • the dissolved water can comprise an equivalent amount of dissolved salt.
  • a commercial grade jet fuel that has been dried by salt filtering will normally comprise a small residual amount of dissolved water and a residual amount of salt dissolved therein.
  • sweetened liquid hydrocarbon fuels which are transported overseas, e.g. in a supertanker may be potentially contaminated with salt water used as ballast in the ship.
  • the potentially contaminated fuel it is quite common for the potentially contaminated fuel to be dried by passing the fuel through a filter water separator as the fuel is pumped from the ship to a storage tank. Again, because of the high solubility of salt in water and the fact that filter water separators will not eliminate all water from the fuel, the fuel will retain a residual amount of salt dissolved in residual water.
  • oil refiners measure the amount of salt in a liquid hydrocarbon fuel by techniques that rely upon measuring the amount of chloride ions in the fuel, and a fuel is only considered acceptable when the measured amount of chloride ions in the fuel is at or below a prescribed maximum.
  • the techniques that have been used in the past to measure chloride ions in the fuel tend to be analytical techniques, are time consuming and, in view of the nature of the tests and complexity of the apparatus required to perform them, essentially this requires them to be performed in a laboratory, rather than at the production site.
  • these techniques can have the effect of requiring the fuel to be stored whilst tests are undertaken and the fuel determined to be acceptable or not. Examples of such techniques are disclosed in WO2009/123496 and WO2010/133315.
  • WO2013/150274 discloses a method of determining the suitability of a fuel for use in an engine wherein the fuel may be contaminated with solid particles.
  • the method comprises providing a compound which is soluble in the fuel and which provides a fluorophore when absorbed by, reacted with or coordinated with the solid contaminant particles, forming a mixture of the compound and a test sample of the fuel, exposing the mixture to electromagnetic radiation of such a wavelength that would cause said fluorophore to undergo fluorescence if said fluorophore was present, measuring the amount of fluorescence, comparing that amount of fluorescence against a standard and rejecting or accepting the fuel, as appropriate.
  • the object of the present invention to provide an alternative method of providing a fuel suitable for use in an engine.
  • the method includes a chloride ion measuring technique that does not suffer the problems of techniques previously employed at oil refineries and terminals.
  • step ii) washing the sweetened liquid hydrocarbon fuel produced in step i) in water to reduce or eliminate contaminants remaining in the fuel after step i);
  • step iii) passing the washed and sweetened liquid hydrocarbon fuel produced in step ii) through a salt filter to reduce the amount of water retained in the fuel after step ii) to an amount at or below a prescribed maximum water content;
  • step iii) contacting a specified amount of said compound with a specified amount of the liquid hydrocarbon fuel produced in step iii) for an amount of time sufficient for any waterborne chloride ions in the fuel to react or coordinate with the compound;
  • step v) exposing said compound that was contacted with said liquid hydrocarbon fuel in step v) to electromagnetic radiation of a first wavelength
  • step vii) measuring the amount of fluorescence emitted at a second wavelength by virtue of step vi); viii) comparing the amount of fluorescence measured in step vii) with an amount of fluorescence measured in a similarly tested fuel that contained a prescribed maximum allowable amount of waterborne chloride ions;
  • step vii) only if the amount of fluorescence measured in step vii) corresponds to the fluorescence emission measured for a fuel that does not comprise more than the prescribed maximum allowable amount of waterborne chloride ions, accepting the fuel as being suitable for use in an engine;
  • said first wavelength falls within the excitation spectrum of either of said fluorescence spectra but not both, and/or wherein said second wavelength falls within the emission spectrum of either of said fluorescence spectra but not both.
  • the present invention provides a method of providing a liquid hydrocarbon fuel that is suitable for use in an engine, said method comprising the following sequential steps:
  • step iii) contacting a specified amount of said compound with a specified amount of the liquid hydrocarbon fuel produced in step iii) for an amount of time sufficient for any waterborne chloride ions in the fuel to react or coordinate with the compound;
  • step v) exposing said compound that was contacted with said liquid hydrocarbon fuel in step v) to electromagnetic radiation of a first wavelength

  • Waterborne chloride ions i.e. CI " ions solvated in water
  • CI Waterborne chloride ions
  • a fuel can be treated to remove a substantial proportion of or eliminate any entrained or free water in it i.e. water that would form a separate, visible aqueous phase if the fuel was left to stand, it is very difficult to remove all the water from the fuel as some dissolved water may be retained in the fuel phase .
  • Water that remains dissolved in the fuel phase e.g. in amounts of up tolOOppm (mg/1) or more, is referred hereinafter as residual water.
  • the residual water does not form a separate aqueous phase when left to strand and is invisible to the human eye in the fuel, so the fuel may appear clear or slightly translucent.
  • Salt is very soluble in water, producing waterborne chloride ions and waterborne metal ions (e.g. Na + and/or K + ) in the salt solution. It is very difficult to remove these ions and so waterborne chloride ions are normally retained in the residual water. If the concentration of the solvated chloride and metal ions in the residual water is too high, then the efficiency of a jet engine may be impaired.
  • Liquid hydrocarbon fuels often become contaminated with various materials such as water, salt, rust particles derived from storage vessels and pipelines and dust particles from vented storage vessels.
  • the present invention allows the potential to perform analysis expeditiously. It also allows the analysis to be performed at the production site.
  • the present invention relies on reacting a fluorescent material with chloride salts in the fuel phase.
  • the fluorescent material must be preferentially reactive with chloride in order to minimize interference from other chemical species.
  • the reaction can be done using various methods.
  • One technique involves the introduction of a fuel sample to a liquid fluorescent material, which can be shaken for a given period of time and then placed into a detection unit to evaluate the level of fluorescence. This can be correlated to a calibration graph to determine the amount of chloride in an unknown sample.

  • a distinct colour change on the pad will indicate the presence of chloride and the area of colour change (intensity) will be related to the amount of chloride present. This colour change may only be present when a light source of the correct wavelength is applied to the pad.
  • the fluorescent material can have an excitation and emission wavelengths of any suitable value such that determination is simple. Preferentially, the emission wavelength is between 500 and 540 nm and most preferentially between 500 and 520 nm.
  • the fluorescent material can be any chemical that preferentially reacts with chloride and emits fluorescence at the required wavelength.
  • Such chemicals are typically but not limited to the following: Fluorescent Yellow 13 ISC, Nile Blue A, Trans-Stilbene, Cis-Stilbene, Fluorescent Red Pigment, 6-Methoxy-N-(3-sulfopropyl)quinolinium, N-(Ethoxycarbonylmethyl)-6- methoxyquinolinium bromide, sodium fluorescein, 6-Methoxy-N-ethylquinolinium iodide and ⁇ , ⁇ '- Dimethyl-9,9'-biacridinium dinitrate.

  • Other mechanisms of contamination will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
  • fluorescent means the emission of electromagnetic radiation, especially of visible light, stimulated in a substance by the absorption of incident radiation and persisting only as long as the stimulating radiation is continued.

  • An important area of the invention is for detecting chloride contaminant in fuel or hydrocarbon oil at the refinery allowing rapid determination, which gives a more rapid turnover of fuel usage.
  • Current methods require sampling and testing at external laboratories, which obviously takes time and leads to large quantities of fuel being held until the fuel is approved for use.
  • the detection of the chloride in fuel also allows for a determination of the condition of the salt drier used in the fuel drying process. As the chloride level increases this is an indication that the salt drier is becoming saturated and should be changed.

  • the emission wavelength will be 490 to 530 nm.
  • the fluorescent material should be capable of being made into a liquid form using an appropriate solvent. This liquid form can be used to test a small fuel sample directly or as a means of impregnating the fluorescent material onto a filter pad material that allows the flow of fuel. Any chloride in the fuel will react with the fluorescent material on the pad and show an emission when placed in a suitable test unit. Hand held test units for determining fluorescence are currently available and will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
  • Method 1 This requires a sample of the fuel or oil to be added to a liquid sample of the fluorescent material. The material is then shaken vigorously for a given time frame. After this time the sample is allowed to stand for 1 minute and then placed into an appropriate hand held testing unit. The ratio of fuel to liquid fluorescent can be varied to give the optimum reaction parameters.
  • Method 2 This requires the pre-preparation of a liquid fluorescent sample that is impregnated on to a suitable filter pad material. This pad is then placed into a suitable holder and a fuel sample allowed to pass through the filter. Any chloride in the fuel will react with the fluorescent sample. Upon completion of the fuel pass the pad is then taken to a hand held test unit where is can be tested for fluorescence. The amount of reduction in fluorescence can be taken as a direct measurement of how much material has reacted and thus gives a determination of chloride content. Alternately, the gain in fluorescence at the emission wavelength of the reacted fluorescent chloride can also be determined and used to derive the chloride concentration.
  • the permissible limit of sodium chloride concentration varies with fuel type but is typically 500 ppm. All other salts are present in part per billion levels so the chance for interference of this test is minimal. The main interference would come from fluoride ions, which are very uncommon in fuel.
