Abstract
A method of improving the combustion of a fuel by adding a catalyst or combustion enhancer at an extremely low concentration, preferably in the range of 1 part catalyst per 200 million parts fuel to 1 part catalyst per 6 trillion parts fuel. The catalyst or combustion enhancer may be selected from a wide range of soluble compounds. The method may comprise the steps of an initial mixing of the catalyst or enhancer with a suitable solvent and then subsequent dilution steps using solvents or fuel. Suitable solvents include water, MTBE, methylketone, methyisobutylketone, butanol, isopropyl alcohol and other hydrophilic/oleophilic compounds.
Claims19
A composition of fuel and at least one combustion catalyst or enhancer wherein the combustion catalyst or enhancer is present in a concentration of between less than 1 part by weight of combustion catalyst or enhancer per 20 billion parts of fuel and greater than or equal to 1 part by weight per 12 trillion parts of fuel.
