The Clean Air Act, for instance, mandates the use of detergents and deposit control additives to reduce carbon monoxide emissions. Moreover, a wide range of additives for different types of fuels enhances fuel performance.
Fuel-related issues in engines and machinery, including fuel efficiency, can be effectively addressed through the application of additives. These additives are commonly utilized in refineries, distribution systems, and storage tanks across various transportation systems and vehicles.
Petroleum oils undergo rapid photo-oxidation and biodegradation due to marine microorganisms utilizing them as a carbon source. This degradation primarily occurs at the oil-water interface, resulting in the formation of various compounds that degrade the quality of petroleum oil. Under specific conditions, these factors accelerate the oxidation process. Fuel additives effectively remove carbonaceous deposits from combustion chamber walls.
Ongoing crude oil reservoir mining for petroleum oil and natural gas contributes to the declining quality of crude oils. In addition, the increasing demand for additives to maintain quality and meet government regulations is expected to propel market growth.
