Fuel Additives Market Trends, Innovations and Production Technologies till 2028

Fuel additives are compounds used in motor vehicles to enhance the quality and efficiency of fuels. Fuel additives serves various functions including sludge removal, soot control, biocide and improving combustion. In addition, fuel additives contribute to engine maintenance thereby, enhancing the life of the motor vehicle. Various types of fuel additives products served in the market include stability improvers, corrosion inhibitors, cold flow improvers, cetane improvers, antioxidants, dyes and markers, deposit control additives and anti-icing fuel additives among others.

The application of catalytic fuel additives
The high soot oxidation activity that can be obtained with fuel additives can be explained as follows. The fuel additive contains a metal, in the form of a soluble organo-metallic compound. This compound decomposes in the engine combustion chamber and the metallic part is integrated in the soot, from the moment of nucleation, while the organic part is combusted. The metal is finely dispersed in the soot. Transmission electron microscopy proved that copper particles in soot collected from an engine running with 100 ppm copper in the fuel were smaller than 1 nm, while the soot particles were 30 - 40 nm in diameter. Obviously, the almost atomic distribution of the metal through the soot creates a large interaction surface between carbon matter and catalyst and the result is a very high oxidation rate compared to catalytic coatings of the same metal.

Besides copper fuel additives in combination with wall flow monoliths, the influence of a copper coating on the performance of the system has been extensively studied. It was found that the catalytic activity of the copper coating is negligible compared to the activity of the copper additive. Nevertheless a copper coating might be useful. It was found that the thermal conductivity of the trap material can be of great influence on the stability of the system. High thermal conductivity of the trap, for example of silicon carbide, contributes to stable operation. Regenerations of the trap, during which all the soot collected on the trap is burnt, occur without extreme temperature excursions, whereas with cordierite traps temperatures up to 1200 K can be observed. Continuous operation of a system with a copper fuel additive and a wall flow monolith is feasible at temperatures above 625 K.
