Abstract
Abstract : The Fuels and Lubricants Technology Team (FLTT) is leading the Tank Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering Center (TARDEC) program to qualify alternative fuels for use in military ground systems. These systems include tactical and combat ground vehicles, tactical generator sets, and other tactical ground systems. This is the first comprehensive report that summarizes the initial project under this program to concurrently qualify two alternative fuels. These fuels, designated in MIL-DTL-83133H, are both blends of JP-8 refined from conventional feedstocks with up to 50% by volume of Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene (SPK). SPK consists of a distribution of synthetically-derived hydrocarbon molecules that together have the right balance of properties to result in an aviation-grade SPK. The naming of the two SPK blending stocks is drawn from a significant aspect of the unique processes by which they are manufactured; one blending stock is known as Fischer-Tropsch (FT) SPK and the other is known as Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) SPK.
