Abstract
This invention relates to the inhibition of corrosion in fuels, for example, in residual fuels, such as in those fuels used in steam boilers, process heaters and gas turbines, etc., by adding Mg/Si/Mn combinations thereto. Mg/Si/Mn combinations are not only very effective in inhibiting both corrosion and slag at high Na/V ratios but also produce other benefits including the reduction in smoke emissions when the fuel is combusted at improper fuel/air ratios.
Claims6
An additive composition comprising magnesium, silicon and manganese, in combination, wherein the (Mn/Mg+Si) ratio is from 0.01 to 100 and where the ratio of Mg to Si varies from 0.01 to 100.
