DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for improving the cold flow properties of fuel oils prepared from medium and heavy fractions of petroleum.

As is well known, among the fractions obtained by distilling crude oil, the fractions with a boiling point of approximately 150 to 450 o○, called medium-quality fractions, are particularly important as kerosene, light oil, and heavy oil as energy sources for the nation. occupies a position. Among these, the fluidity of light oils and heavy oils is significantly reduced at low temperatures such as in winter due to the precipitation of wax contained in the oil, which can cause serious problems. For example, in cold winter conditions, the wax contained in diesel oil precipitates, causing the strainer installed in the circuit that supplies fuel oil to diesel engines to become clogged. There have been many cases where diesel engines have been unable to operate due to oil supply being cut off or even completely losing fluidity at low temperatures. In the case of heavy oil, similar problems such as the engine shutdown of fishing boats and combustion problems in greenhouse cultivation boilers have occurred due to similar wax precipitation, which can have a serious impact on human life and property.

このためこの種の油の低温度下での流動性を改良するた

For this reason, various methods have been used to improve the fluidity of this type of oil at low temperatures.

For example, there is a method of improving the fluidity of light oil and heavy oil by mixing and diluting a kerosene fraction that has excellent fluidity at relatively low temperatures.

However, relatively light oil such as kerosene is more expensive than light oil or heavy oil, so it is not an economical method. In addition, in today's situation where crude oil itself is becoming more refined and the need for light crab is increasing, this method cannot be said to be a preferable method from the viewpoint of effective utilization of petroleum resources. Another method is to add a fluidity improver, and most of these improvers are chemically synthesized products.

The role of the fluidity improver is to improve fluidity by preventing the deposited wax from becoming too large and stabilizing it as microcrystals. Many types of fluidity improvers have been proposed, and they are actually added to fuel oil with great effect. Typical fluidity improvers include ethylene-ethylene unsaturated ester copolymers, polyacrylates, alkylnaphthalenes, alkenylsuccinic acids and derivatives thereof.

Among them, there are many proposals regarding the use of copolymers of ethylene and carboxylic acid esters having ethylenic double bonds as fluidity improvers; for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 39-200
No. 6y, Special Publication No. 1986-23165, Special Publication No. 1976-1976
No. 05 and Tokusekki No. 55-4829, etc. Among the above copolymers, ethylene-pinyl acetate copolymer in particular not only lowers the pour point of normal fuel oil, but also has an excellent effect of lowering the clogging point of the filter in low temperature furnaces, so its usage has increased in recent years. It is growing rapidly.

However, they are not always satisfactory, as they are only effective for special fuel oils, and require a large amount of addition despite being relatively expensive. The present inventors have made efforts to reduce the amount of the expensive copolymer of ethylene and a carboxylic acid ester having an ethylenically unsaturated group in order to improve the low-temperature fluidity of fuel oil, and to develop a highly effective improvement method. As a result of studies, it was discovered that the combination of the above-mentioned copolymer and residual oil was extremely effective, leading to the present invention.

Regarding the residual oil used in the present invention, residual oil is a general term for heavy oil extracted from the bottom of a distillation column in a petroleum refining process, and is contrasted with crab oil.

Specifically, it can be classified into atmospheric residual oil, vacuum residual oil, cracked residual oil, etc. Atmospheric residual oil is heavy bottom oil obtained when crude oil is processed in an atmospheric distillation apparatus, and is commonly called long residue. Vacuum residue oil is an ultra-heavy bottom oil obtained by processing normal pressure residue oil in a vacuum distillation apparatus, and is commonly called short residue oil. Cracked residual oil is obtained from related equipment such as catalytic cracking equipment, but in the refining process, it may be returned to atmospheric distillation equipment, vacuum distillation equipment, etc. Among these, atmospheric residual oil is preferred in consideration of ensuring quantitative stability, ease of handling, and compatibility with medium and heavy fractions of petroleum.

Since the components are different, the fluidity improving effect will naturally change when added to fuel oil, so the amount to be added may be appropriately determined within the range shown below, taking this into consideration. In other words, the amount of residual oil added is 500 to 20% by weight based on the oil content.
,000 willow range is preferred. Residue oil is added to the medium and heavy oil fraction along with the ethylene copolymer mentioned above,
If the amount of addition is less than 50 melons, the effect can only be expected within the error range, and if the amount of addition is more than 20,000, the amount of sludge generated will increase and the product value will decrease, which is not preferable.

There are no particular restrictions on the method of addition, and the residual oil and ethylene copolymer may be mixed in advance and then added to the medium and heavy fractions of petroleum.

They may also be added in the form of concentrated solutions in suitable solvents. There is also no problem in adding the ethylene copolymer as it is or in the form of a concentrated liquid dissolved in a suitable solvent after mixing the residual oil with the petroleum oil or carcass substance. As the solvent, aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, etc. can be used. In addition, at that time, it is used in combination with additives such as rust inhibitors, antioxidants, antistatic agents, or anticorrosive agents that are normally added to petroleum fuel oil, or in combination with other pour point depressants as necessary.
