Paul J. Biggerstaff - Stafford TX, US
Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:
C10L 1/18
US Classification:
44385
Abstract:
Certain branched carboxylic acids may serve as improved lubricity additive compositions in distillate fuels, and in particular for cold weather applications. Suitable branched carboxylic acids may include, but are not necessarily limited to, isostearic acid, neodecanoic acid, isononanoic acid, neononanoic acid, neoundecanoic acid, isovaleric acid, pivalic acid, and the like and mixtures thereof. The branched carboxylic acids may be used alone or together with straight chain carboxylic acids, and optionally with an aromatic solvent.

US Patent:
8557002, Oct 15, 2013
Filed:
Nov 12, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/944997
Inventors:
Jianzhong Yang - Missouri City TX, US
Paul J. Biggerstaff - Stafford TX, US
Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:
C10L 1/02
C10L 1/19
C10L 1/185
US Classification:
44398, 44447
Abstract:
The reaction product resulting from the chemical reaction of an alkyl phenol with an acid or an anhydride selected from the group consisting of a saturated dicarboxylic acid, an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid, an anhydride of a saturated dicarboxylic acid, an anhydride of an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid, and combinations thereof, has been discovered to improve the properties of various fluids. In a non-limiting example, the reaction products may have an acid number from about 0 to about 50 that may improve the lubricity and/or corrosion of fuels and lubricants, such as hydrocarbon fuels and lubricants, when added thereto.

Additives For Cetane Improvement In Middle Distillate Fuels

View page
US Patent:
20100325944, Dec 30, 2010
Filed:
Jun 3, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/793463
Inventors:
Jianzhong Yang - Missouri City TX, US
Michael J. Zetlmeisl - Katy TX, US
Paul J. Biggerstaff - Sugar Land TX, US
Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:
C10L 1/18
C10L 1/23
US Classification:
44322, 44326, 44325
Abstract:
The cetane number of middle distillate fuels may be increased using an additive composition including a polymer that may be a homopolymer or copolymer of olefins, and the like, where the polymer has a weight average molecular weight ranging from about 200,000 to about 5,000,000. The additive composition also includes a free radical initiator component, which may be an alkyl nitrate such as 2-ethylhexylnitrate (2-EHN), and/or a peroxide, such as t-butyl peroxide. In one non-limiting embodiment the amount of polymer in the additive composition is greater than the free radical initiator component. A solvent is also present, which the solvent may include alcohol, an alkyl substituted phenol and/or a heavy aromatic distillate.

Functionalized Maleated Fatty Acids As Non Acidic Fluid Additives

View page
US Patent:
20120053101, Mar 1, 2012
Filed:
Sep 1, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/873475
Inventors:
Jianzhong Yang - Missouri City TX, US
Paul J. Biggerstaff - Stafford TX, US
Jerry J. Weers - Richmond TX, US
Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:
C10L 1/19
C10M 129/70
C10M 133/16
C10L 1/224
US Classification:
508555, 44400, 44418, 44347, 508501, 508290
Abstract:
Maleated fatty acids that are functionalized with materials such as polyols, alkanolamines and/or alkylene oxides have been discovered to improve the properties of various fluids. In a non-limiting example, functionalized maleated fatty acids having acid numbers less than 10 may improve the lubricity of fuels and lubricants, such as hydrocarbon fuels and lubricants, when added thereto.

Method For Reducing Hydrogen Sulfide Evolution From Asphalt And Heavy Fuel Oils

View page
US Patent:
20130092597, Apr 18, 2013
Filed:
Oct 17, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/654124
Inventors:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX, US
Jennifer D. Draper - Houston TX, US
Paul Biggerstaff - Sugar Land TX, US
Donald Wolfe - Baden PA, US
Assignee:
BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED - HOUSTON TX
International Classification:
C10G 29/16
C10G 29/10
C10C 3/08
US Classification:
208 45, 208243, 208244, 208247, 208249
Abstract:
Hydrogen sulfide evolution from asphalt or heavy fuel oil may be reduced or eliminated using an additive to act as a scavenger. Zinc, in conjunction with an additional metal selected from Fe, Mn, Co, Ni, Cr, Zr, when present in the form of nano-particles of an oxide, borate or carboxylate is an effective component is preventing or mitigating the evolution of hydrogen sulfide. The nano-particles may be used neat or as a dispersion. These metals may also be complexed and used in the form of a solution. Molybdenum, when used with one or both of Fe and Zn is also a useful in any of these forms for the same purpose.

View page
US Patent:
20130130941, May 23, 2013
Filed:
Nov 7, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/671374
Inventors:
Paul J. Biggerstaff - Sugar Land TX, US
Marc N. Lehmann - Houston TX, US
Anna M. Dhuet - Richmond TX, US
Jerry J. Weers - Richmond TX, US
Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX

Abstract:
Saturated and unsaturated carboxylic fatty acids and alkylamine salts, alkyl esters and alkyl amide derivatives of these fatty acids are effective in improving the lubricity of hydrate inhibitor formulations, thereby effectively reducing the level of wear on moving parts of a pump under a load during pumping of the hydrate inhibitor formulation, for instance into an umbilical for a subsea hydrocarbon production operation.

Biofuel Having Improved Cold Flow Properties

View page
US Patent:
20130212931, Aug 22, 2013
Filed:
Feb 14, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/767497
Inventors:
BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED - , US
Paul J. Biggerstaff - Stafford TX, US
Kimchi T. Phan - Katy TX, US
Jennifer D. Draper - Bryan TX, US
Assignee:
BAKER HUGHES INCORPORATED - HOUSTON TX
International Classification:
C10L 1/19
US Classification:
44351, 44388
Abstract:
A biodiesel may be prepared using an admixture of petroleum diesel and an algal derived hydrotreated renewable diesel which can be treated with petroleum diesel cold flow additives. The resulting diesel fuel may be employed even in cold climates despite the high paraffin content and high degree of saturation of the hydrotreated renewable diesel component of the fuel.

Cold Flow Improvement Of Distillate Fuels Using Alpha-Olefin Compositions

View page
US Patent:
20130239465, Sep 19, 2013
Filed:
Mar 6, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/786674
Inventors:
Ben Morgan - Sugar Land TX, US
John A. Schield - Missouri City TX, US
Paul J. Biggerstaff - Sugar Land TX, US
Kimchi T. Phan - Katy TX, US
Jack Bradford Ward - Tulsa OK, US
Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:
C10L 10/14
C10L 1/19
US Classification:
44351, 44393, 585 10
Abstract:
The cold flow of middle distillate fuels may be improved by adding an effective improving amount of one or more alpha-olefin compositions. The compositions include, but are not necessarily limited to, polymers of alpha-olefins per se, copolymerized or grafted alpha-olefins with maleic anhydride, acrylic acid, vinyl acetate, alkyl acrylates, methacrylic acid, and/or alkyl methacrylates. These resulting copolymers or grafted polymers may be blended with alkylphenol-formaldehyde resins, which in turn may be blended with ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer. In a non-limiting example, the cold filter plugging point (CFPP) may be synergistically improved as compared with the expected additive effect of using the components separately.
