What is PD CEN/TR 16435 - Oxygenates blending in line with petrol requirements about?
PD CEN/TR 16435 is a technical report that provides information to the blender on all the effects when blending oxygenates and alcohols in order to fulfil legal limitations put in place through the revised Fuels Quality Directive and in order to remain in line with EN 228 unleaded petrol requirements.
PD CEN/TR 16435 is published as background information.
Who is PD CEN/TR 16435 - Oxygenates blending in line with petrol requirements for?
PD CEN/TR 16435 on liquid petroleum products is relevant to:
- Petroleum product manufacturers
- Petrochemical industry
- Oxygenate blenders
- Automotive industry
- Quality control and testing bodies
- Regulatory authorities
Why should you use PD CEN/TR 16435 - Oxygenates blending in line with petrol requirements?
An oxygenate blending is a fuel blend stock containing oxygen that is used to reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide when fuel is burned. Typically, oxygenates are either ethers or alcohols.
The purpose of PD CEN/TR 16435 is to provide guidance when blending oxygenates while meeting the requirements of EN 228:2012 for both oxygenates and oxygen content. Selected properties of some commonly used oxygenates and examples of six oxygenated blends are reported to demonstrate the relationship between the concentration of oxygenated blending components and oxygen content.
The data given in PD CEN/TR 16435 are based on the properties of pure chemical products and demonstrate the relationship between the concentration of oxygenated blending components and oxygen content in petrol.
PD CEN/TR 16435 outlines the properties of petrol, and some oxygenate and provides blending examples.
As a result, PD CEN/TR 16435 can help you establish accurate relationship between the oxygenates content in % (V/V) and the oxygen content in % (m/m).
