Calculation Routines Supporting the use of Diesel Fuel Cold Flow Improvers

The use of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers as additives for middle distillate cold flow is an established practice with over 20 years of refinery experience. 

Feeds that contain high levels of wax can constrain fuels blending and require expertise in blend formulation to achieve the CFPP and other Cold Flow operability specifications. Varied feeds and specifications change the interaction of the cold flow products and monitoring and interpretation of results is important to enable a refinery achieve reliable results.

The Cold-FLow.eu website provides calculation routines to assist refiners to interpret and optimise cold flow applications.
