THE
SFA INTERNATIONAL TECHNICAL ARTICLE LIBRARY |
New Technical Articles Hyperlinked Below........
This is a partial repository of technical papers and related
articles written by SFA professionals, principals, friends
and associates of SFA. This library also contains guest articles
submitted or contributed by fellow scientists and engineers
or experts in the field of fuel additives and combustion improvers
for combustion turbines, Diesel fuel, and boiler and process
heater fuel applications.
Petroleum Fuel Treatment Articles
"Combustion Catalysts and Sulfur", W. R. May, November 2007.
New article.
This
article presents new findings correlating catalyst activity
with sulfur levels of fuels. Sulfur content is an
indication of complex molecular structures that are more
difficult to react in the combustion process. A
mechanism for catalyst function based on free radical
formation is presented.
