CO2 emissions and scarcity of petroleum supplies can be reduced by the use of renewable energy sources. This has led to the development of low emission aviation turbine fuel derived from vegetable materials. The process used Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) that consisted of hydrotreating and isomerization. This experiment consisted of production and analysis. The production of aviation biofuel developed based on coconut oil through the process of hydrotreating deoxygenation (HDO) and hydrotreating isomerization (HDI) on the hydrotreater reactor. Further analysis of aviation biofuel products and aviation biofuel blending includes Total Acid Number (TAN), existent gum, density at 15 °C, flash point, smoke point, freezing point, distillation, total sulfur content, distribution of C10-C14 carbon, and levels of Iso-Paraffin Olefin Naphthene (PION). Based on the experimental results, it can be concluded that the Aviation Biofuel complied for TAN, density at 15 °C, and freezing point parameters. Aviation Biofuel blending of 2%, 5%, and 10% were in accordance with the Aviation Biofuel Defence Standard 91-91 for all parameters.

Similarly with other alkyl-ester biodisesls, coconut oil and soybean oil ethyl-ester (COEE and SOEE) still retain some disadvantages to apply directly or used as diesel fuel additives, such as high viscosity and low ignition performance. The main objective of the reasearch is to introduce an alternative process to improve such drawbacks, that is to convert a small portion of ethyl-ester to ozonide compounds. The ozonolysis of ethyl-esters. whether catalytic or non-catalytic processes, generally yields ozonides, carboxylic acids, and hydrocarbons with shorter carbon chain, e.g. aldehyde and ketone to improve their fuel characteristics. The main problem of such ozonolysis is the effectiveness of the ozonation process itself Such a preliminary investigation of COEE and SOEE ozonation process to ozonides or other compounds, the presented results are the examination of main parameters such as, viscosity, density,  total acid number, water content,  and cetane index. The changes in the ethyl esters'physical and chemical properties werefound to be: an increased in their viscosity, total acid number, and cetane index, and also a decreased in their density and water content. The visible change after ozonation process was the odor ofthe esters. These parameters changes was an indicator that new substances have been producedfrom  the ozonation of ethyl esters.Keywords: Coconut Oil, Soyabean Oil, Biodiesel, Methyl Ester, Ethyl Ester, Ozonide, OzonolysisAbstrakBiodiesel etil-ester minyak kelapa dan kedelai, seperti juga alkif-ester lainnya, memiliki beberapa kelemahan bila digunakan langsung atau sebagai aditif bahan bakar mesin diesel, seperti viskositas yang tinggi dan sifat penyalaannya yang kurang baik. Tujuan utama dari penelitian ini adalah mencari proses alternatif untuk memperbaiki kekurangan-kekurangan tersebut, yaitu mengkonversi sebagian etil-ester menjadi senyawa ozonida. Reaksi ozonolisis alkil-ester, baik katalitik maupun non-katalitik, menghasilkan senyawa-senyawa ozonida, asam karboksilat, dan senyawa-senyawa hidrokarbon yang lebih pendek rantai karbonnya, seperti aldehida dan keton sehingga dapat meningkatkan karakteristiknya sebagai bahan bakar. Kendala utama dalam konversi tersebut adalah efektifltas dari reaksi ozonasi itu sendiri. Sebagai investigasi awal dari reaksi ozonasi etil-ester minyak kelapa dan kedelai menjadi senyawa ozonida dan senyawa-senyawa lainnya, disajikqn hasi­ hasill pengujian parameter-parameter utama, seperti viskositas, densitas, bilangan asam, kadar air dan indeks setana. Perubahan sifat-sifat fisika dan kimiawi yang dht}i setelah mengalami proses ozonasi adalah: kenaikan viskositas, bilangan asam, dan indeks setana, serta penurunan densitas dan kadar air. Sedangkan perubahan yang dapat diamati langsung adalah perubahan aromalbau dari etil-ester kedelai dan kelapa setelah mengalami proses ozonasi. Perubahan parameter-parameter yang diuji ini menandakan telah terbentuknya senyawa baru akibat reaksi etil-ester dengan ozon.Kata Kunci: Minyak Kelapa, Minyak Kedelai, Biodiesel, Metil-ester, Etil-ester, Ozonida, OzonolisisSimilarlywithotheralkyl-esterbiodisesls,coconutoilandsoybeanoilethyl-ester(COEEandSOEE)stillretainsomedisadvantagestoapplydirectlyorusedasdieselfueladditives,suchashighviscosityandlowignitionperformance.Themainobjectiveofthereasearchistointroduceanalternative processtoimprovesuch drawbacks,thatistoconvertasmallportionofethyl-estertoozonidecompounds.Theozonolysisofethyl-esters.whethercatalyticornon-catalyticprocesses,generallyyieldsozonides,carboxylicacids,andhydrocarbonswithshortercarbonchain,e.g.aldehydeand ketonetoimprovetheirfue/characteristics.ThemainproblemofsuchozonolysisistheeffectivenessoftheozonationprocessitselfSuchapreliminaryinvestigationofCOEEandSOEEozonationprocesstoozonidesorothercompounds,thepresentedresultsaretheexaminationofmainparameterssuchas,viscosity,density,  totalacidnumber,watercontent,  andcetaneindex.Thechangesintheethylesters'physicalandchemicalpropertieswerefoundtobe:anincreasedintheir viscosity,totalacidnumber,andcetaneindex,andalsoadecreasedintheirdensityandwatercontent.

Abstract One of Sudanese fields has a heavy crude oil which has a high Total Acid Number (TAN) and high viscosity, can cause a lot of problems in production operation, transport, and storage facilities. The effect of ethanol dilution on the rheological properties of crude (especially the kinematic viscosity) was studied and presented. Moreover, the consequence of blending Trona (NaHCO3.Na2CO3) with a specified amount of Ethanol in the crude can reduce (TAN) to acceptable limits for solving corrosion and flowability problems. The approach is based on the experiments and laboratory works on the crude's samples after blending with a certain amount of Trona and Ethanol. It depends on the results of apparatuses, that are used to measure the samples, for instance, Calibrated glass capillary viscometer and ASTM D664 titration volume Total Acid Number tester which are employed to get the values of kinematic viscosity and TAN, respectively. The tests are established with crude have kinematic viscosity (187 cst) at temperature 75°C and TAN almost (8.51). While increasing the dosage of Trona at the ambient temperature (38°C) with the certain mass percentage of Ethanol (5%), TAN is decreased from (8.51 to 4.00 mgKOH/g). Also, the kinematic viscosity is declined from (187 cst to 96.75 cst) after increasing the volume of Ethanol at 75°C. These outcomes indicated that Ethanol could reduce Sudanese heavy crude's viscosity, and the Trona could decrease the TAN. This reduction occurred due to Ethanol dilution. The Ethanol molecules disturb the molecular structure of the crude, which forms polar bond within the hydrocarbon chain that leads to lower the friction between molecules of hydrocarbon in the crude. Also, Trona shrinks TAN because the Hydroxide ions (OH+) that founded in Trona neutralize the Hydrogen ions (H−) in Naphthenic acid in Sudanese heavy crude. This study can be summarized in the ability to solve the difficulty of transporting and processing the heavy crude oil in refineries; maintains the quality of the crude while utilizing it with friendly environmental materials and low cost.

Two 1,4-dioxaspiro novel compounds which derivated from methyl 9,10-dihydroxyoctadecanoate (MDHO) with cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone had been synthesized by a sonochemical method in the presence of montmorillonite KSF catalyst. The MDHO compound had been prepared from 9,10-dihydroxyoctadecanoic acid (DHOA) and methanol. Meanwhile, DHOA was synthesized by hydroxylation of oleic acid with the solution of 1% KMnO4 under basic condition. The structures of the products were confirmed by FTIR, GC-MS, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectrometers. Hydroxylation reaction of oleic acid gave DHOA as a white solid powder in 46.52% yield (m.p. 131-132 °C). On the other side, esterification reaction via sonochemical method between DHOA and methanol gave MDHO as a white powder in 93.80% yield (m.p. 80-81 °C). The use of cyclopentanone in 45 min sonochemical method gave methyl 8-(3-octyl-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.4]nonan-2-yl)octanoate as a yellow viscous liquid in 50.51% yield. The other compound, methyl 8-(3-octyl-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-2-yl)octanoate as yellow viscous liquid had been synthesized by similar method with cyclohexanone via the sonochemical method in 45.12% yield. From physicochemical properties, i.e. density, total acid number, total base number, and iodine value, gave the conclusion that these novel compounds are potential biolubricant candidates to be developed.

The present study aims to investigate the corrosion characteristics of copper commonly encountered in the spark ignition (SI) engine fuel system with Malaysian bioethanol and gasoline blends. Static immersion tests in E0 (gasoline), E10 and E85 were carried out at room temperature for 1320 h. Mechanical, physical and chemical properties of copper was investigated before and after immersion tests. Investigations were carried out on change in morphological properties using optical microscope; change in chemical structure using FTIR; change in mass and volume by weight loss measurement; hardness changes using universal hardness tester; and change of chemical properties of the fuel blends using total acid number titration method. The test results showed that corrosion of copper was increased with the high concentration of ethanol in the blends.

AbstractCrude oil and produced water samples obtained from ten wells in an offshore field, Niger Delta, were analyzed, in order to determine the occurrence of naphthenates deposition in the field. Total acid number (TAN) and °API of the crude oil samples, pH and metal ions concentrations of the produced water samples were determined. The results revealed that TAN values ranged from 0.47 to 1.01 mgKOH/g with pH of 6.9–8.9, which were above established threshold. The metal ions concentrations especially for Ca++ and Na+ were relatively high. These imply a high possibility of metal-naphthenate precipitation in the oil production facilities in this field.
