Description

[0001] A COMPOSITION FOR HERBAL-BASED MULTI-FUNCTIONAL PETROL AND DIESEL ADDITIVE AND METHOD OF PREPARATION THEREOF

[0002] FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0003]

[0001] Embodiments of the present invention relates to automobile industry. Particularly, present disclosure relates to a composition for herbal-based multi-functional petrol and diesel additive for enhanced engine performance and reduced emissions, and a method of preparation thereof.

[0004] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0005]

[0002] The subject matter discussed in the background section should not be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of it being mentioned in the background section. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background section merely represents different approaches, which in and of themselves may also correspond to implementations of the claimed technology.

[0006]

[0003] The world is currently experiencing an energy crisis and is looking for renewable energy sources that are safer and more effective than burning fossil fuels. This is due to scientific predictions that, if current usage trends continue, the fossil fuel supply would run out by the year 2060. Since renewable energy sources like solar, wind, biomass, etc. are endless, we must look into them in order to meet our energy needs. Traditional fuels can be substituted with a variety of alternative fuels. Biofuels containing alcohol, including methanol and ethanol, can be used in place of petrol, while biodiesel can be used in place of diesel.

[0007]

[0004] Since the necessary technology has not yet been created, other choices like hydropower and solar energy have not yet been used in automobiles. Natural gas, biodiesel, biopetrol and ethanol are the best fossil fuel substitutes and can lower exhaust emissions, global warming, and fossil fuel use. In addition to the other alternative fuels, biodiesel and bio petrol has become increasingly popular for use in engines. Through the transesterification process, biodiesel and bio petrol can be made from a wide range of feedstock. Because of its advantages over diesel and petrol, including renewable energy, increased availability, better lubrication, and reduced exhaust emissions with the exception of NOx emissions, which are greater than those of biodiesel or bio petrol is regarded as a fuel that is similar to diesel / petrol.

[0008]

[0005] One essential method to improve fuel quality is to use fuel additives. To improve a specific fuel attribute, raise thermal efficiency, and lower engine emissions, specific additives are utilised. For this aim, a variety of additive types — liquid, solid, and gaseous — are used, and each one affects engine performance differently.

[0009]

[0006] Currently there is no such bio additive that utilizes herbal ingredients to make a biofuel increasing the vehicle efficiency. Hence, there exists a need for a composition for a herbal-based multi-functional petrol and diesel additive for enhanced engine performance and reduced emissions, and a method of preparation thereof.

[0027] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028]

[0022] The present invention is described hereinafter by various embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawing, wherein reference numerals used in the accompanying drawing correspond to the like elements throughout the description.

[0029]

[0023] While the present invention is described herein by way of example using embodiments and illustrative drawings, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention is not limited to the embodiments of drawing or drawings described and are not intended to represent the scale of the various components.

[0030]

It should be understood that the drawings and detailed description thereto are not intended to limit the invention to the particular form disclosed, but on the contrary, the invention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims. As used throughout this description, the word "may" is used in a permissive sense (i.e., meaning having the potential to), rather than the mandatory sense, (i.e., meaning must). Further, the words "a" or "an" mean "at least one” and the word “plurality” means “one or more” unless otherwise mentioned. Furthermore, the terminology and phraseology used herein is solely used for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as limiting in scope. Language such as "including," "comprising," "having," "containing," or "involving," and variations thereof, is intended to be broad and encompass the subject matter listed thereafter, equivalents, and additional subject matter not recited, and is not intended to exclude other additives, components, integers or steps. Likewise, the term "comprising" is considered synonymous with the terms "including" or "containing" for applicable legal purposes.

It is not suggested or represented that any or all of these matters form part of the prior art base or were common general knowledge in the field relevant to the present invention.

[0031]

[0025] The present invention relates to the field of biofuels. As understood from the art, the biofuel may be defined as, but not limited to, a fuel derived from biomass, which can include organic materials such as plants, crops, and waste. They are considered renewable energy sources because the plants used to produce them absorb carbon dioxide during their growth, offsetting the carbon dioxide released when the biofuel is burned. Biofuels often use substances called “biofuel additives” to improve their performance, stability, and environmental characteristics. For example, sugar and corn are prominent feedstocks used in making ethanol. Unlike fossil fuels, which are formed by extremely slow natural processes, biofuel is a fuel that is created quickly from biomass, such as oil. Plants or home, commercial, or agricultural biowaste can be used to make biofuel. Since the carbon released by burning biofuels is absorbed by the crops that are used in their production, biofuels are typically thought to be carbon-neutral fuels and release fewer greenhouse gas emissions when burned in an engine. But just like regular fuels, biofuels can gain from the addition of additives made specifically for their special qualities.

[0032]

[0026] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a biofuel additive may be defined as, but not limited to, a chemical substance that is mixed with a fuel, such as gasoline (petrol) or diesel, to enhance or modify its properties. These additives are designed to improve fuel efficiency, engine performance, and overall combustion characteristics. They may serve various purposes depending on the specific formulation, but common goals include cleaner combustion, reduced emissions, and protection of engine components. Biofuel additives can act as stabilizers, extending the shelf life of biofuels and maintaining their chemical integrity. This ensures that the biofuel remains suitable for use even after prolonged periods of storage, addressing a key challenge in the practical implementation of biofuels.

[0033]

[0027] Additionally, biofuel additives can play a role in enhancing engine compatibility. Different biofuels may have varying chemical compositions that could pose challenges for existing engine technologies. Additives are developed to address these compatibility issues, ensuring that biofuels can be seamlessly integrated into conventional engines without causing corrosion, clogging, or other adverse effects on the fuel system.

[0034]

[0028] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a combustion engine may be defined as, but not limited to, a type of engine that generates power by burning fuel within a combustion chamber, also known as an internal combustion engine (ICE). This combustion process produces high-pressure gases, which then expand and do work on a piston or turbine, ultimately converting the chemical energy of the fuel into mechanical energy. The most common types of combustion engines are found in automobiles, motorcycles, trucks, and various industrial applications.

[0035]

[0029] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, biofuel are clean fuels. The term "clean" in this context typically refers to the reduced environmental impact of biofuels throughout their lifecycle, from production to combustion. One key aspect of clean biofuels is their potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The carbon dioxide released during the combustion of biofuels is roughly equal to the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by the plants during their growth, creating a closed carbon cycle. Composition:

[0036]

[0030] Embodiments of the present invention provide a composition for herbal-based multifunctional petrol and diesel additive designed to enhance the efficiency and environmental performance of combustion engines. This innovative composition is the result of extensive research and development efforts aimed at creating a sustainable and eco-friendly solution for fuel enhancement. The composition is characterized by its unique blend of natural ingredients, offering a harmonious balance between improved engine performance and reduced environmental impact.

[0037]

[0031] The core of the inventive composition, lies in its carefully formulated blend of first and second plant-based powders. These powders are derived from select botanical sources, known for their beneficial properties, and are combined in a versatile ratio that ranges from 0.1 :0.9 to 0.9:0.1 . This allows for a tailored approach to meet specific engine requirements and environmental standards. The powders include compounds such as holoptelin, friedelin, epi-friedelinol, alangine, marckine, marckidine, and algangamide, which are known for their efficacy in fuel treatment and engine maintenance.

[0038]

[0032] Further enhancing the composition is a mixture of juice extracted from fruits and flowers, including but not limited to Kakadu plums, black currants, mustard spinach, lemon, and orange. This mixture is rich in proteins, minerals (such as iron, calcium, and phosphorus), vitamins C and E, potassium, and the antioxidant lutein. It is blended with the plant-based powders in a weight ratio that ranges from 0.5:1 .5 to 1 .5:0.5, contributing to the overall stability and performance-enhancing properties of the additive.

[0039]

[0033] The inclusion of an oil extract, comprising a balanced mix of saturated and unsaturated fats along with medium-chain fatty acids, further distinguishes the composition. This extract is mixed with the plant powder and juice blend in a ratio ranging from 0.5:1.5 to 1.5:0.5, ensuring a consistent and effective formulation. The composition is then completed with a base oil selected from a group consisting of karanj, cottonseed, jatropha, castor, sunflower, neem, and palm oils. This selection of base oils is pivotal for achieving the desired solubility and stability, with the final blend mixed in a proportion ranging from 1 :100 to 1 :200.

[0040]

[0034] Characterized as a 100% herbal multi-functional bio additive, this composition is suitable for use in both petrol and diesel engines. It is specifically designed to not only improve fuel efficiency and engine performance but also to significantly reduce the environmental footprint of vehicles by lowering harmful emissions. This inventive composition represents a significant step forward in the pursuit of sustainable and environmentally friendly automotive solutions.

[0041] Method Of preparation of the composition:

[0042]

[0035] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 illustrates a method (100) for preparing herbal-based multifunctional petrol and diesel additive. As shown in figure 1 , the method (100) of preparation starts at step 102 by preparing a powder composition comprising vital plantbased raw materials. A first plant powder containing bark, fruit, dried leaves, flowers, root of a plant with at least one of holoptelin, holoptelin, friedelin, and epi-friedelinol is used. In the present invention particularly Holoptelea integrifolia (Ulmaceae) (also known as Planch) plant roots are utilized as a primary raw material. A second plant powder containing bark, fruit, dried leaves, flowers, root of a plant with at least one of alangine, marckine, marckidine, and algangamide or even proteins, carbohydrates, fats, oils, alkaloids, glycosides, and amino acids. In the present invention particularly Scotch thistle (Onopordum acanthium) is used.

[0043]

[0036] Further step 104, requires providing a fruit / flower juice containing proteins, minerals, vitamins (vitamin C and E), and antioxidants such as lutein is used. In the present invention, particularly plants are selected from a group of plants such as, but not limited to, Kakadu plums, Black currants, Mustard spinach, lemon, orange. Then, at step 106, an oil containing fatty acids is selected such as, but not limited to, saturated fats and unsaturated fats, medium chain fatty acids, such as lauric acid, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antiparasitic, anti dermatophytic, antioxidant, hypoglycemic, hepatoprotective, immunostimulant etc. Particularly in this case Palm kernel oil is used. After that at step 108, a base oil is provided. The base oil is selected from the group consisting of karanj oil, cottonseed oil, jatropha oil, castor oil, sunflower oil, neem oil, and palm oil. Herein, the base oil is referred to as component that act as solvent or carrier for the active ingredients in the additive formulation. It provides a stable medium for dissolving or dispersing other chemical components, ensuring a homogeneous mixture that can be easily blended with the biofuel. Base oils also contribute to the stability of the additive formulation.

[0044]

[0037] Next step 110 involves mixing the first plant powder and second plant powder, where first powder and second powder are taken in any suitable ration of 0.1 :0.9 to 0.9:0.1 particularly in a ratio of 0.6:0.4 and mixed thoroughly. It is further blended with fruit / flower juice by weight in the ratio of 0.5:1 .5 or 1 .5:0.5 particularly in this case 1 :1 .

[0045]

[0038] In addition, step 1 12 requires drying (1 12) the mixture obtained and mixing the dried mixture obtained with the oil in a ratio of 0.5:1 .5 or 1 .5:0.5 particularly in this case 1 :1 . Moreover, at step 1 14, the dried mixture is now cured. The dried powered mix is cured for 1 to 10 days depending upon the climatic conditions. The primary goal of curing is to achieve a hardened and solid state. As understood in the art, the curing refers to the transformation of the material from a liquid or semi-liquid state to a solid, durable state through a series of chemical reactions or physical processes. This is crucial for materials that will be subjected to mechanical stress, weathering, or other environmental factors.

[0046]

[0039] Next, step 116 requires mixing the cured mixture obtained, with the base oil. Herein, the final dried and cured powder is thoroughly mixed with any of the oil particularly Karanj Oil in a ratio of 1 :200 proportion.

[0047]

[0040] After that, step 1 18 involves heating the mixture obtained at a predetermined temperature between 70-130°C with heating and cooling in ramp mode for 2 to 8 hours depending upon climatic conditions. During heating the oil and powder is thoroughly stirred continuously.

[0048]

[0041] Finally, step 120 involves cooling, decanting and filtering the mixture as per the standards of fuel filters so that there would not be any fouling due to floating particles to obtain the biofuel composition. Cooling is a process that involves reducing the temperature of a mixture. It is commonly used to separate substances through the process of condensation or solidification. For example, in a mixture of a liquid and a gas, cooling may cause the gas to condense into a liquid, allowing it to be separated from the remaining components. Decanting is a simple separation technique used to separate a liquid from solid particles or immiscible liquids. The mixture is allowed to settle, and the clear liquid (supernatant) is carefully poured off while leaving the solid particles or the denser liquid behind. Filtering is a process used to separate solid particles from a liquid by passing the mixture through a filter medium that allows the liquid to pass while retaining the solid particles. The liquid, called the filtrate, passes through the filter, while the solid particles are retained.

[0049] Working Example of the Composition and Method

[0050]

[0042] This working example demonstrates the preparation of the multifunctional petrol / diesel additive composition as disclosed in the invention, utilizing specified quantities of ingredients to produce a batch suitable for extensive application.

[0051]

The additive contributed to a cleaner environment by actively reducing pollution levels. 3. Noise Reduction: Vehicle noise measurements before and after the application of the additive revealed a noticeable decrease in noise levels. For example, noise levels in the Passion Pro two-wheeler dropped from 71.9 dB to 60.8 dB, and for the TATA Indica four- wheeler, from 63.3 dB to 60.9 dB, enhancing the driving experience and contributing to noise pollution reduction.

[0071] 4. Enhanced Engine Performance: The additive's formulation is designed to remove piston ring deposits and reduce visible smoke, ensuring smoother engine operation and better overall performance.

[0072]

[0048] However, it is important to note that the working example provided above is for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed in a limiting sense. The detailed description of the specific quantities, procedures, and observed benefits serves to demonstrate the potential application and effectiveness of the multifunctional petrol / diesel additive composition under certain conditions. However, variations in the preparation, application, and actual performance of the additive may occur due to differences in environmental conditions, engine types, fuel quality, and other operational factors. The scope of the invention is not restricted to the particulars of the working example. Instead, the invention is intended to encompass all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and broad scope of the underlying principles disclosed.

[0073] Test Results:

[0074]

[0049] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, two distinct tests are carried- one, for inspection of vehicle on road mileage before and after use of additives and two, for inspection of vehicle noise monitoring before and after use of additives and vehicle emission monitoring by flue gas analyzer before and after use of additives. This test was performed on different two-wheeler and four-wheeler vehicles before and after use of Bio Mileager Petrol and Diesel Saver for the parameters noise, vehicle emissions and mileage. For this study two different two-wheeler vehicles have been selected. One was Passion Pro (four stroke) and second is Moped Aviator (without four stroke) for petrol saver and Four- wheeler TATA Indica was selected for diesel saver. For noise level measurement AEC has used calibrated Noise Level Meter. Noise level measurements were done before and after use of Bio Mileager Petrol and Diesel Saver of selected two-wheeler and four-wheeler. The test results of two-wheeler and four-wheeler are illustrated in table (a) & graph (a) and table (b) and graph (b) respectively.

[0075]

[0050] Table (a) illustrates two columns depicting noise level measurement (in decibels) of two-wheeler namely passion and aviator. The measurement of noise level before and after use of bio-mileager petrol saver was recorded. Before use of bio-mileager petrol saver in the Passion motor vehicle was recorded 71.9dB (decibel) and after use of bio-mileager was recorded 60.8dB. On the other hand, before use of bio-mileager petrol saver in the Aviator motor vehicle was recorded 62.1 dB and after use of biomileager was reduced and recorded 50.2rdB. Hence, it was observed that the noise level produced by the two-wheelers was reduced significantly after use of bio-mileager petrol saver which was recorded within the span of 6 days. This particular data is graphically represented with both the motor vehicles on the X-axis and the noise level in decibel on the Y-axis in graph (a).

[0076]

[0051] In four-wheeler, for example TATA Indica in the present case, noise level before and after use of bio-mileager diesel saver was calculated and recorded to be 63.3dB and 60.9dB respectively. Thus, similarly as seen in the two-wheeler noise level measurements, even in four wheeler the noise level after using bio-mileager diesel saver was seen to have reduced significantly (refer table (b)). The same is graphically represented with TATA Indica (four wheeler) on the X-axis and the noise level in decibel on the Y- axis.

[0052] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, in further tests of vehicle, emission monitoring by flue gas analyzer before and after use of additives is analyzed. Flue gas analyser Testo 340 was used for vehicle emission monitoring for the parameters- oxygen, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and oxides of nitrogen. The observations recorded of the two-wheeler passion and aviator and the four-wheeler TATA indica is tabularized in tables (c), (d) and (e).

[0077]

[0053] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, in table (c), the emission of environment pollutant gases from Passion two-wheeler such as sulphur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) was reduced significantly from 124ppm, 1 1946ppm, 0.74ppm to Oppm (no emission), 8462ppm and 0.34ppm respectively whereas the emission of oxygen (O2) molecule was observed to increase from 18.78% to 20.31 %. According to table (d), the emission of environment pollutant gases from Aviator two-wheeler such as sulphur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) was reduced significantly from 141 ppm, 22626ppm, 1.44ppm and 1 ppm to Oppm (no emission), 13415ppm, 0.89ppm and Oppm respectively whereas the emission of oxygen (O2) molecule was observed to increase from 16.75% to 20.34%.

[0078]

[0054] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, in table (e), the emission of environment pollutant gases from TATA Indica four- wheeler vehicle such as carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) was reduced significantly from 532ppm, 1.20ppm and 31 ppm to 432ppm, 0.80ppm and 22ppm respectively whereas the emission of oxygen (O2) molecule was observed to increase from 19.38% to 19.88%. A conclusion from observations recorded in above tables (c), (d), (e) may be made that the emission of harmful environment gases was observed to be reduced on usage of bio mileage petrol / diesel additive in the vehicle whereas environment friendly gases like oxygen emission was increased thus, resulting in various related benefits for the environment. Graph 3-7 show a graphical representation of the emission monitoring of these gases.

[0079]

[0055] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, furthermore, the mileage of selected vehicles was also calculated in two trails. For mileage calculation of the vehicles first fuel tanks of all selected vehicles were emptied and air was allowed to pass through the tanks. The empty fuel tank was filled with 1 L petrol in each two-wheeler and 3 L diesel in four-wheeler. The meter reading was noted as initial reading (A) after running the vehicle at 40 km / h speed till the fuel was finished and the final readings (B) was noted.

[0080]

[0056] The mileage of each vehicle was calculated with the following formula:

[0081] Mileage km / h = Initial reading (A) (km / h) - Final Reading (B) (km / h)

[0057] Same procedure has been carried out for mileage calculation after use of Bio Meleager Petrol and Diesel Saver. The fuel tank was filled with 1 L petrol and 2 mL of Bio Mileage Petrol Saver was added in each twowheeler. Four-wheeler fuel tank was filled with 3 L diesel and 6 mL Bio Mileage Diesel Saver was added. The meter reading as initial reading (A) was noted after running the vehicle at 40 km / h speed till the fuel was finished. Final readings (B) were noted for all selected vehicles. The mileage of each vehicle was calculated with the above-mentioned formula and all the results tabulated in tables (f), (g) and (h).

[0082]

[0058] In Passion two-wheeler, the mileage calculated after using petrol bio additive hiked from 48.2km / h to 74km / h in the first trial and hiked 78.7km / h from 48.8 in the second trial. In Aviator, the mileage calculated after using petrol bio additive hiked from 39.1 km / h to 60.3km / h and from 40.1 km / h to 65.6km / h. While, in TATA Indica the mileage calculated after using diesel bio additive hiked from 18.06km / h to 29.9km / h and from 18.43km / h 29.6km / h.
