Abstract
Static Dissipative Additive (SDA) facilitates the safe dissipation of electrostatic charges through the liquid hydrocarbon by reducing the accumulation of hazardous surface charges. Due to the relatively low conductivity (high resistivity) of hydrocarbons, utilizing processes such as treatment (e.g. filtration) and transfer operations cause charge separation of ionizable components in the hydrocarbon. This can result in significant surface charge pocket build up even within properly grounded equipment. SDA helps to dissipate charge accumulation and reduces the risk of fire accidents. This study evaluates the dose response of SDA in distillate fuels, and the synergistic effect caused by the presence of biofuels in distillate fuels (especially with ULSD -Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel). Influence of temperature variation on performance of SDA is studied in detail for various Dosages, as well as the influence of biofuels on the conductivity response of distillate fuels.
