Optimizing fuel properties to meet market demands

Fuels have been changing for more than a decade as government and industry work together to improve air quality by reducing emissions. And as fuels have changed, so have the performance requirements for fuel additives.

For example, newer, cleaner-burning engines now use a wider variety of fuels. Diesel options (using various blends of #1 and #2 diesel) now include low-sulfur, ultra-low-sulfur, bio-diesel, e-diesel, and water-diesel. Additives must be tailored to fuel composition. Regional variations in climate and in emission rules further underscore the need for customized fuel additives.
