Cold temperature behaviour of medium heating fuel oil---efficiency of pour point depressants. (In German). A. Ecker. Erdol Erdgas Kohle, September 1994, 110(9), 371, 372, 374.

Consideration is given to various possibilities for optimizing the cold temperature behaviour and particularly the pour point of medium heating oil. The pour point is dependent on the provenance of the crude oil, the amount of residue and the quality of the heavy components. By blending atmospheric residues of paraffinic crudes so many high-melting paraffins are put in the heating fuel that a low pour point is reached by adding a pour point depressant---but no resistance against cold temperatures. However, a good cold temperature behaviour can be achieved by blending the medium heating fuel oil from vacuum residues of low sulphur content, selected atmospheric residues and distillates. 7 refs.
