Testing of Baker Flo-XS Pipeline Drag-Reducing Additive. Compilation of Tests and Results
Abstract
Pipeline drag-reducing additives have been used for many years in crude oil and some products to increase throughput in the pipeline. In recent years, interest in using drag-reducing additives in jet fuel has increased because of greater demand on the petroleum product pipelines for jet fuel. Thus, testing was completed on the Baker Flo-XS pipeline drag-reducing additive to determine if the additive had any negative impact on the fuel. The proposed use of the additive was to add 2 ppm at up to 4 points along the pipeline(s). Thus, the majority of testing was completed using 8.8 ppm (8 ppm total plus 0.8 ppm for errors in injection). Through a CRADA with Buckeye Pipeline Inc, thermal stability testing of the additive was completed. Additionally, low temperature testing, additive/additive compatibility testing and specification testing of additized fuel was also completed. Material compatibility testing was also taken into consideration.
