This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18700534 titled 'PROCESS FOR REDUCTION OF ASPHALTENES FROM MARINE FUELS
Original Abstract Submitted
A process dissolves or disperses asphaltenes from marine fuels by using at least one quaternary ammonium compound. A weight ratio of aromatics to asphaltenes in the marine fuel is not more than 7.0. A marine fuel is produced that includes saturates, aromatics, and asphaltenes in addition to at least one quaternary ammonium compound. Another process reduces or prevents fouling caused by asphaltenes in a marine fuel.
