WAFI Case Study

Energy Refinery and Petrochemicals Oil and Gas

Due to the more challenging European legislation increasing the content of renewable energy, refiners are in the need for better additive solutions for these more complex diesel/biofuel blends. In order to meet a biodiesel quota of B10 one customer wanted to produce a B7 diesel/FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) blend with additional 3% of Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO). With a specially designed WAFI-product Clariant was able to meet a challenging CFPP (Cold Filter Plugging Point) specification of -22°C in this difficult to treat blend, ensuring good operability throughout the winter period.
