AGQM starts new round of tests on biodiesel oxidation stabilizers

In Germany, AGQM started a new test round of Biodiesel oxidation stabilizers. The sophisticated tests aim at eliminating possible detrimental interactions of additives when blended with Diesel fuel.

The use of oxidation stabilizers is highly recommended for B7 which is the reason why today in almost all cases already producers blend Biodiesel with oxidations stabilizers. It is necessary to make sure that additivation continues to guarantee a safe application of the end product.

The no-harm test developed by AGQM in cooperation with the mineral oil industry is intended to safeguard that no impairment of the fuel itself or impermissible interaction with other fuel components need be feared. In addition, tests are carried out concerning the relative efficiency to be able to best adapt the use of additives in the individual case with regard to economic aspects also.
