Abstract: Process for obtaining a reagent combustible for mixing with other combustibles comprising a bio-combustible or an additive related to the field of bi-combustible chemistry and unlikely the bi-combustible and additives found in the market does not become degraded itself and does not degrade the motor components; further, it is a universal combustible or additive, that is, it can mixed with any other combustible either biological, fossil and mineral. Said combustible or said additive for use with explosion motors is produced from sunflower refined oil or any other type of vegetal or seaweed oil preferably without conservatives and uses as reagents the following components: ethyl alcohol 96° GL (93.8° INPM) or 95.3° GL (92.8° INPM), ethyl alcohol 77° GL (70° INPM), sodium hydroxide NaOH (97%), boric acid H3BO3 (99.7% min.), hydrochloric acid HCL, purified or distilled water.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a fuel additive formulation applied to internal combustion engines formulated to reduce friction, corrosion, and wear in the internal combustion engines. The fuel additive in accordance with the present invention is a formulation of hexylene glycol and boric oxide. Reduction of engine wear and degradation due to reduction of friction and deposit formation is expected to result in increased engine efficiency, extension of engine life, and reduction in repair and maintenance costs.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a fuel additive formulation that is designed to inhibit and/or reverse phase separation in Ethanol Blended Fuels (EBFs). The additive may further have the characteristics of reducing friction, corrosion, and wear in internal combustion engines that run on EBFs. The fuel additive in accordance with the present invention is a formulation of hexylene glycol and boric acid. Minimization of phase separation and reduction of engine wear and degradation due to friction and deposit formation is expected to result in increased engine efficiency, extension of engine life, and reduction in repair and maintenance costs.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of operating a thermal installation comprising a combustion chamber fed with a fuel contaminated with vanadium, with sulphur and possibly with sodium. In particular, the combustion chamber is also fed with boron and with magnesium, in quantities such that the sodium molar ratio s=Na2SO4/V2O5, the magnesium molar ratio m=MgO/V2O5 and the boron molar ratio b=B2O3/V2O5 satisfy the equation m?3+2b?s, so that the combustion products comprise magnesium orthovanadate, mixed magnesium boron oxide and possibly sodium borate. The invention also provides for the use of such a method to inhibit corrosion of the thermal installation by vanadium oxide, possibly in the presence of sodium.
