Oxygenates for reformulated gasoline

W.J. Piel, Reema Thomas

Open publisher page 20 citations

Abstract

This paper discusses how the petroleum industry is now moving forward in understanding how gasoline reformulation can reduce gasoline related emissions. Thought reductions in carbon monoxide (CO) are predominately a combustion enleanment phenomena, there appears to be some benefit from reducing fuel carbon content. Reducing tailpipe hydrocarbons and NO{sub x} is a more complicated process, and the influences of other gasoline properties are being studied. Based on available knowledge, it appears ethers have the most favorable properties for modifying or reformulating gasoline.
