title: Improvement of the quality of liquid fuels
reg no: ETF5018
project type: Estonian Science Foundation research grant
subject: 2.6. Chemical Engineering
status: completed
institution: Institute of Chemistry at Tallinn Technical University
head of project: Jüri Kann
duration: 01.01.2002 - 31.12.2004
description: To improve the quality of otto and diesel motor fuels and fuel oil starting from petrol (gasoline) which contains bioethanol, from biodiesel fuel and from distillation oil of utilization process of wasted tires. The results of the project are:
1. The theoretical base of the new composition of liquid fuels will be worked out.
2. Otto motor fuel composition with improved quality to reduce concentration of pollutants in exhaust gases of motor.
3. Biodiesel fuel compositions with improved quality to reduce the concentration of pollutants in exhaust gases of motor.
4.Fuel oil with improved quality.
