Abstract
Mixed alcohol formulas can be used as a fuel additive in gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, aviation gasoline, heating oil, bunker oil, coal, petroleum coke or as a neat fuel in and of itself. The mixed alcohols formulations can contain C-Calcohols, or in the alternative, C-Calcohols or higher C-Calcohols in order to boost energy content. The C-Cmixed alcohols contain more ethanol than methanol with declining amounts of propanol, butanol and pentanol. C-Cmixed alcohols contain the same, with declining amounts of hexanol, heptanol and octanol. C-Cmixed alcohols contain the same, with declining amounts of nananol and decanol. Synthetically produced mixed alcohol formulas feature higher octane and energy densities than either MTBE or fermented grain ethanol; more stable Reid Vapor Pressure blending characteristics; and increased soluablizing effects on condensate water. The primary benefits of mixed alcohols are increased combustion efficiencies, reduced emissions profiles and low production costs.
