Scientific novelty

Preventive formulations with improved viscosity and low-temperature properties to prevent freezing and sticking of bulk cargo to metal surfaces of rail and road transport, and to reduce dust formation and carbon-containing substance emissions. The proposed formulations are developed based on gas oil fractions from thermal destructive oil refining processes with the addition of heavy oil residues from deep oil refining processes.

Advantages

Prevention of dust formation, sticking, and freezing of coal, sand, crushed stone, ore, and other bulk cargoes during transportation, loading, and unloading of railcars; Improvement of low-temperature properties – reduction of the pour point to minus 52°C, improvement of fire safety properties – increase of the flash point to 101°C; Oil-based formulations do not require additional heating when used in sub-zero temperatures, providing an additional economic advantage.

Commercial implementation

In the transport and mining industries, during loading and unloading of railcars, transportation of rocks and fine materials in winter, and in the construction and operation of highways.
