    Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION



    [0001] The present invention relates to use of a marine lubricating oil composite additive for cylinder oils 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. 1. Sufficient antiwear and antioxidization properties should be preserved when relatively low dosage is used;
    2. 2. Good compatibility to system oils under different brands;
    3. 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.

    [0007] EP 1 640 442 A1 discloses a method (and a corresponding system) of creating a cylinder oil, the method comprising modification of at least one initial fluid by determining a desired TBN(s) of the at least one initial fluid, determining a desired TBN of cylinder oil and adjusting the TBN(s) of the at least one initial fluid accordingly by blending the at least one initial fluid with suited additive(s). The suited additive(s) comprise at least on base, wherein the at least one base comprise basic salts of alkaline or earth alkaline elements, and/or detergents and/or dispersants.

    [0008] EP 1126010 A1 disclosed a lubricating oil composition comprising a major amount of a base oil of lubricating viscosity, an overbased sulfurized alkylphenate detergent, an overbased alkylsulfonate detergent, an ashless dispersant, and a zinc dialkyldithiophosphate or of a zinc diaryidithiophosphate, wherein the weight ratio between the overbased sulfurized alkylphenate detergent and the overbased alkylsulfonate detergent is in the range of 55:45 to 95:5.

    [0009] 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



    [0010] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a use of a marine lubricating oil composite additive, wherein the marine lubricating oil composite additive can not only satisfy the requirement of the marine BOB online blending system but also have wide adaptability.

    [0011] 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.

    [0012] Said sulfonate detergent with superhigh base number is C22-C30 linear alkyl benzene calcium sulphonate, wherein the base number thereof is 395-430 mgKOH/g.

    [0013] Said phenolate detergent with low base number is C20-C25 alkyl sulfurized calcium phenolate, wherein the base number thereof is 240-265 mgKOH/g.

    [0014] Said dispersing agent is selected from the group consisting of mono-polyisobutylene succinimide, bis-polyisobutylene succinimide and multi-polyisobutylene succinimide. Said antiwear agent is zinc long-chain alkyl thiophosphate with the structure corresponding to the following formula,

    wherein Ri, R2, R3 and R4 are long-chain primary alkyl groups each comprising 12-18 carbon atoms, or Ri, R2, R3 and R4 are long-chain secondary alkyl groups each comprising 12-16 carbon atoms.

    [0015] 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.

    [0016] The marine lubricating oil composite additive 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.

    [0017] 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 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 been tested by sailing over 4000 hours, and has been technically certified by MAN B&W, the engine OEM (original equipment manufacturer).

    [0038] The composite additive designed for the BOB system using double detergents used by the present invention can be blended with system oils so as to provide cylinder oils that can satisfy the requirement of the engine. Such composite additive has been tested by sailing over 4000 hours wherein BP Energol OE-HT30 is used as the system oil by the vessel, and has been technically certified by MAN B&W. Samples of the fresh/waste cylinder oils using such composite additive during the sailing were monitored, and the data are illustrated in Figure 2. 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. 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. 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.


    [0039] 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.
