Stray gassing of refinery streams and transformer oil produced from them

Abstract

Refinery processing determines the chemistry of the base oils used in transformer oils. Increasing the severity of the processing leads to a more stable base oil. Performance additives can modify the chemistry of the system and potentially lead to unintended consequences. This study examines how processing differences and additives affect the generation of stray gasses at low temperatures.

Fatty acid benzyl esters as bio‐based plasticizers in silica‐filled solution‐polymerized styrene‐butadiene rubber/butadiene rubber composites

“…2005/69/EC, PAH in each new tire produced or imported in the EU must be less than 3% of IP346 extract from 2010. [ 13 ] Therefore, treated distillate aromatic extract (TDAE) [ 14 ] and mild extract solvates (MES) were developed to replace the high aromatic oils in rubbers and tire formulas. [ 15‐17 ] However, they are more expensive than the original distillate aromatic extract.…”
