FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a composite additive used for marine lubricating
oils, and more particularly to a composite additive designed for cylinder lubricating
oils which is applied in shipborne BOB systems.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The current BOB (Blender-on-Board) online blending system equipped on ocean vessels
is an automatic control system that blends the marine system oil with a composite
additive which is designed for the marine lubricating oils in the BOB system so as
to provide a cylinder lubricating oil that have an optional target base number, and
such cylinder lubricating oil can be rapidly transferred to the engine in order to
meet the different requirements for the base number of the cylinder lubricating oil
in cases of using fuels with different sulfur contents. A schematic diagram for the
operating principle of BOB online blending system is shown in Figure 1.
[0003] The operating procedure of the BOB system is as follows: the system oil is pumped
from the main oil tank to each lubrication point of the engine so as to provide lubrication
and thereafter recycled back to the main oil tank, wherein part of the system oil
is side-drawn and then blended with a composite additive in the BOB blending device
to form a cylinder oil with required base numbers, which is burned off after fulfilling
lubrication, and the residue thereof flows into a waste oil tank. The composite additives
designed for the BOB system are remarkably different from the traditional marine lubricating
oils. The later are lubricating oil products with fixed base numbers, which are produced
in blending plants and may be directly used by adding into the oil tank of vessels,
whereas the former are additives produced by blending plants and blended with the
system oil before adding into a tank of vessels so as to provide marine cylinder lubricating
oils with different base numbers in order to meet the requirement of the use in engines.
[0004] Therefore, the composite additives designed for the BOB system have several features
in terms of the technical requirement:
- 1. Sufficient antiwear and antioxidization properties should be preserved when relatively
low dosage is used;
- 2. Good compatibility to system oils under different brands;
- 3. The composite additive should satisfy the requirement of being pumped within the
BOB system and fit with the blending system.
[0005] According to the novelty search within Chinese and worldwide patents, no related
reference documents are found in the field of both shipborne BOB online blending system
and the composite additive designed the BOB system.
[0006] In the light of the disclosure reported by related Chinese and worldwide patents,
it is known that the binary detergent system composed by a sulfonate detergent and
a phenolate detergent is widely used in the formulation of the cylinder oil at present.
Meanwhile, the above two primary additives of sulfonate and phenolate detergents are
both easy to purchase and cheap in price in the international market. With an aim
to the world market of the marine lubricating oil, the establishment of an international
blending and supplying network can, on one hand, expand the oil supplying network
of PetroChina and improve the sale and service level, and can benefit to reducing
the production cost so as to sharpen the competitive edge of self-owned brand products
of PetroChina.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a marine lubricating oil composite
additive that can not only satisfy the requirement of the marine BOB online blending
system but also have wide adaptability.
[0008] The marine lubricating oil composite additive is characterized in that based on the
total weight of the composite additive, it comprises: 25-45% sulfonate detergent with
superhigh base number, 40-60% phenolate detergent with low base number, 0-8% dispersing
agent, 0-4% antiwear agent, and 10-20% Group I base oil with high viscosity index.
[0009] Said sulfonate detergent with superhigh base number is C
22-C
30 linear alkyl benzene calcium sulphonate, wherein the base number thereof is 395-430
mgKOH/g.
[0010] Said phenolate detergent with low base number is C
20-C
25 alkyl sulfurized calcium phenolate, wherein the base number thereof is 240-265 mgKOH/g.
[0011] Said dispersing agent is selected from the group consisting of mono-polyisobutylene
succinimide, bis-polyisobutylene succinimide and multi-polyisobutylene succinimide.

to the following formula,

wherein R
1, R
2, R
3 and R
4 are long-chain primary alkyl groups each comprising 12-18 carbon atoms, or R
1, R
2, R
3 and R
4 are long-chain secondary alkyl groups each comprising 12-16 carbon atoms.
[0013] Said base oil is Group I base oil with high viscosity index which is selected from
the group consisting of 400SN, 500SN and 600SN, the kinematic viscosity of which is
8.5-11.5 cst at 100°C. The appropriate base oils are commercially available from PetroChina
Company.
[0014] The marine lubricating oil composite additive according to the present invention
employs two composed detergents supplemented by antiwear agent and dispersing agent,
and takes advantage of not only the excellent detergency and dispersion performance
of the sulfonate detergent with superhigh base number but also the excellent antiwear
and antioxidization performance of the phenolate detergent with low base number. The
formulation of composite additive is optimized so as to satisfy the requirement of
the BOB online blending system. The technical features of the present invention are
as follows: the requirement of BOB system process for the viscosity and base number
can be satisfied; the composite additive according to the present invention is compatible
with many system oils under typical foreign brands, and the formulated cylinder lubricating
oils with different base numbers have excellent performances in terms of antiwear,
antioxidization and high temperature detergency. The present composite additive has

[0031] The composite additive designed for the BOB system using double detergents provided
by the present invention is well compatible with system oil products under typical
domestic and foreign brands, for example Exxon-Mobile Company, BP Company and PetroChina.
The performances of the formulated cylinder oils with different base numbers are individually
studied by simulated experiments, and the results demonstrate that the cylinder oils
with different base numbers maintain good combination property as for lubricating
oil, for example the antioxidization, antiwear, detergency and water resisting performances
and etc.
[0032] Herein, the antioxidization performance of the cylinder oil is evaluated according
to the oxidative induction time which is measured by differential scanning calorimetry
(PDSC). The antiwear performance is evaluated by the Pb value and the long wear extent
which are obtained by four-ball test. The coking tests are carried out in order to
test the detergency performance of the cylinder oil, while the gel tests are carried
out so as to test the storage stability.
[0033] The bis-detergent composite additive designed for the BOB system formulated according
to the formulation of Example 6 is blended with Exxon-Mobile system oil Mobilgard
M300, BP system oil Energol OE-HT30 and Kunlun system oil DCC3008, respectively, so
as to provide cylinder oils with the base numbers of 70 mgKOH/g, 60 mgKOH/g, 50 mgKOH/g
and 40 mgKOH/g as shown in Tables 2, 3, 4 and 5.

cylinder oils using such composite additive during the sailing were monitored, and
the data are illustrated in Figure 2.
[0035] Throughout the test of 4000 hours, the base number of the cylinder oil formulated
from the composite additive decreased from 70 mgKOH/g at the beginning, through 60
mgKOH/g and 50 mgKOH/g, to 40 mgKOH/g at the end. The entire sailing test could be
divided into four stages according to the base number of the cylinder oil, and each
stage lasted about 1000 hours. It can be clearly seen from Figure 2 that the residual
base number in the waste oil was not notably decreased, and the Fe content resulted
from the wear was not notably increased, either, that is, the both important index
fluctuated within normal ranges.
- 1. The Fe content in the waste oil was never abnormally high, and the Fe content of
all the samples was always less than 200 ppm, which satisfied the requirement of the
engine OEM about the performance of cylinder oils;
- 2. The residue base number of the waste oil from the four different stages tended
to decrease due to the decrease of the base number of fresh oils. Furthermore, even
if the cylinder oil with a base number of 40 mgKOH/g was used, the residue base number
in the waste oil was still above 12 mgKOH/g. It is shown that the composite additive
has strong ability to "store" the base number, and thus effectively prevent the wear
of engine parts to occur.
[0036] In conclusion, the cylinder lubricating oil maintained steady combination performance
in case that the variation of the dosage of the composite additive reached the extent
close to 50%, especially in terms of the antiwear performance under extreme pressure
and the ability to preserve the base number. The test results sufficiently satisfied
the requirement of the engine about the lubricating oil performance and were technically
certified by the engine OEM.
