Development of the Lubricity Additive to Low-Sulphur Diesel Fuels Based on the Technical Alkylsalicylic Acids

Abstract

For the first time a high efficiency of the technical alkylsalicylic acids asa basis of the lubricity additive to low-sulfur diesel fuel is established. Theoptimum compounding and method of obtaining the lubricity additive is developed. A representative sample of the lubricity additive obtained in the laboratory conditions. This the lubricity additive has passed tests for compliance withthe requirements of European safety criteria, according to GOST R 52368-2005(EN 590:2004), and in the frameworks of the Complex of qualifying estimationmethods for high-speed diesel engines.
