Hybrid fuel and method of making the same

摘要

A hybrid fuel and methods of making the same. A process for making a hybrid fuel includes the steps of combining a biofuel emulsion blend and a liquid fuel product to form a hybrid fuel. Optionally, the hybrid fuel can be combined with water in a water-in-oil process and include oxygenate additives and additive packages. A hybrid fuel includes blends of biofuel emulsions and liquid fuel products, including light gas diesel. Optionally, the hybrid fuel can include water, oxygenate additives, and other additive packages.

主权项

1. A hybrid fuel prepared from a process that comprises:
introducing a first reactant to a reactor, wherein the first reactant comprises one or more light gases; exposing the first reactant to non-thermal plasma under conditions sufficient to reform the first reactant to form reaction products comprising at least one of syngas, free radicals, and energetic electrons; introducing a first liquid feed fuel to the reactor; and intimately contacting the reaction products from the exposure of the first reactant to non-thermal plasma with the first liquid feed fuel in the reactor to produce a modified liquid fuel that is different than the first liquid feed fuel.
