标准2025美国材料与试验协会（ASTM）拟制定的国际标准将有助于柴油燃料和生物柴油混合物的质量。所提议的标准（WK51775）将由石油产品、液体燃料和润滑委员会（D02）制定。
该项标准将被用于分离和测定中间馏分油中芳烃、无芳烃物和脂肪酸甲酯（FAME）的含量，包括混有高达20%体积脂肪酸甲酯生物的柴油混合物。
“对中间馏分油中饱和烃以及芳烃含量的了解，有助于研究石油加工对各种成品燃料生产的影响，”中国石油化工股份有限公司石油化工科学研究院高级工程师、ASTM会员杨婷婷说道。她还指出，标准中描述的方法可以节约时间，也有利于环保。
该方法可用于炼油厂、柴油燃料生产商和分析实验室。
D02委员会的下一次会议将于2017年12月3日-7日在美国德克萨斯州休斯顿市举行。
A proposed ASTM International standard will help characterize the quality of diesel fuels and biodiesel blends. The proposed standard (WK51775) is being developed by the committee on petroleum products, liquid fuels, and lubricants (D02).
The proposed standard will be used to separate and determine the content of aromatics, nonaromatics, and fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) in middle distillates, including biodiesel blends with up to 20 percent by volume of FAME.
“The knowledge of total content of saturates and aromatics in middle distillates is useful to investigate the effects of petroleum processing on production of various finished fuels,” said ASTM International member Yang Tingting a senior engineer at the SINOPEC Research Institute of Petroleum Processing in China. Tingting notes that the method described in the standard is time-saving and environmentally friendly.
The proposed method could be used by refinery plants, diesel fuel producers, and analytical laboratories.
The next meeting of Committee D02 is December 3-7, 2017, in Houston, Texas, USA.
