Abstract:
A process of powering a compression ignition engine using a main fuel comprising methanol and water, including: fumigating an intake air stream with a fumigant comprising an ignition enhancer; introducing the fumigated intake air into a combustion chamber in the engine and compressing the intake air; introducing the main fuel into the combustion chamber; and igniting the main fuel/air mixture to thereby drive the engine. Also provided a fuel for use in the process, a two-part fuel for use in the process, and associated power generation systems.
Abstract:
A fuel package comprising a biomass fire-log bound by an adhesive consisting of a starch and a hydroxide and at least one ignition aid is provided along with a method of manufacturing the same.
Abstract:
A diesel engine fuel composition comprising methanol at a level of at least 20% by weight of the fuel; water at a level at least 20% by weight of the fuel; a ratio of water to methanol of between 20:80 to 80:20; a total amount of water and methanol of at least 60% by weight of the fuel composition, and one or more additives, in a total amount of at least 0.1% by weight of the fuel, wherein the level of sodium chloride, if present as an additive, is between 0 to 0.5% by weight of the fuel, and the level of flavourant, if present as an additive, is between 0 to 1.5% of the composition is provided. Also provided is a process for powering a compression ignition engine using a fuel comprising methanol and water, including inlet air pre-heating, and associated systems and uses of the fuel composition.
Abstract:
A gasoline additive composition includes an oxygenate gasoline additive; and an optical brightener. The gasoline additive composition can be used in a gasoline blend.
Abstract:
