Blended Fuel Compositions With Improved Emissions Profiles
Patent No. EP3585862 (titled "Blended Fuel Compositions With Improved Emissions Profiles") was filed by REG Synthetic Fuels on Jan 16, 2019. The application was issued on Mar 19, 2025.
Patent Summary
A method for producing diesel fuel blends that exhibit improved emissions performance compared to conventional blends, while maintaining compatibility with conventional elastomers. The method involves blending petroleum diesel with biodiesel in a controlled manner to achieve optimal performance characteristics. The blending process is optimized through a combination of conventional blending techniques and specialized testing protocols, including a novel cold soak filter blocking test that provides a more accurate measure of filter-plugging potential than conventional cold soak tests. The optimized blend composition is then formulated into a fuel product that meets or exceeds the performance requirements of conventional diesel fuels, while maintaining compatibility with conventional elastomers.
