A new breakthrough on the technology of methanol gasoline in China

M15~85 methanol gasoline can be used by automobiles directly, which reduces 1/3 greenhouse gas emissions and has 20% energy-saving rate.
      In 1975, Switzerland put forward that methanol can be a substitute fuel for automobiles and established national Switzerland Methanol Development company (SMAB). In the following year, Switzerland proposed and hosted the first international conference for the appliance technologies of alcohol fuel. In 1979, the former federal Germany applied more than1000 automobiles with alcohol fuel (M15) into practice, which formed a network of nationwide supply of alcohol fuel. American Ford Automobile Corporation allocated 2 billion dollars for gathering elites to carry out 20 years’ research, and finally in 1995 it launched an automobile mode that can use 85% methanol blending with 15% gasoline. This kind of alcohol fuel has been crowned as “Green Gold” by American president Clinton. Early from our country’s “The Sixth Five-Year Plan”, Shanxi--the province of abundant coal resources, started pilot research on methanol gasoline of M5~15 and M85~100, which is known as the earlier stage or the so-called first generation of methanol gasoline.
Use from blending to catalytic combustion

      The prominent feature of the first-generation methanol gasoline is the direct application in low-proportion blending, such as M5~15. For high-proportion such as M85-100, the typical example is the methanol automobile produced by American Fort Automobile Corporation in 1995, which could use 85% methanol mixed with 15% gasoline. But it still belongs to the mixture application but changes a methanol engine.
      It is known to us that the heating value of methanol is only half of gasoline. So when mentioning the increase of methanol proportion, the first response occurring to people is to change the engine and increase the oil supply. As for this, it has been bothering our experts and scholars.
      In 1993, China became a net-import country on oil again. In 2006, Chinese consumption of crude oil was 322 million tons, which included 145 million tons by importing. The oil reliance on foreign countries was 43%. Our innovative researchers started a deep research on ethanol fuel. Through 3 years’ arduous work, they carried out a 3-month road experiment at Handan, Hebei province from August to November in 1997. Adopted the catalytic combustion theory, the second generation methanol gasoline successfully passed the test. In 1998, it applied for the Chinese Patent of Invention and was formally authorized in 2002(Picture One). After numerous automobiles’ tests, compared with the first generation methanol gasoline, the methanol gasoline by adding a catalytic combustion additive has three breakthroughs:
      First, it achieves the increasing proportion of methanol application from 15%~60%;
      Second, it achieves the almost same fuel consumption as gasoline;
      Third, it achieves the direct use without any change on automobiles. And it also can be mix-used with normal gasoline or ethanol gasoline, or re- blended with others.

The Direct use of M85 methanol gasoline without change on automobiles
      On the mentioning of high-proportion M85~M100 methanol gasoline, we often see such report: “only can be used after reconstructing the engine or on particular methanol automobiles”. At least so far, few people believe that the current automobiles can be put into direct use without any reconstructions. However, the M85 methanol gasoline produced by Nanjing Julan Science&Technology Company meets the above mentioned requirements. And furthermore, the content of its catalytic combustion additive is only 0.5%, which cost in 1 ton is less than RMB100. The substitution rate of this technology has reached 1.6:1, superior to 1.7~1.8:1 of “reconstructing the engine or use particular methanol automobiles”. And most important, the power is still strong.

      The merits and advantages of Julan M15~M85 methanol gasoline
      1. M15~M85 methanol gasoline has 15-85% substitution rate of petrol components, which will reduce the pressure of importing oil in China and saves more foreign exchange disbursements.
      2. M15~M85 methanol gasoline realizes complete covering of the automobiles powered by gasoline: low-proportion methanol gasoline with suitable for the lighter motor vehicles with low compression ratio, high-proportion for salon car with high compression ratio.
      3. This patent’s initial achievement is the excellent dynamic performance. It can replace the gasoline with 15-80% methanol, realize the same effect with the 100% gasoline, save the 8~25% energy consumption. No matter from the theory or practice, it fills the blank in the world.
      4. Environmental protection: combustion under the help of oxygen-contained methanol, M58 methanol gasoline will reduce CO2 emission by 32.7%. And through the decreasing proportion of the substituted olefin, arene and colloidal matter, the pollutants’ emission will be reduced greatly.
      5. It can automatically clean the carbon deposit and oil dirt to realize the internal purification and meanwhile to prolong the life span of the engine.
      6. It possesses the unique function of internal high-temperature lubrication and overcomes the side-effect of methanol’s strong penetrability destroying the oil –film lubrication.
      7. It really achieves worry-free use with no changes on the engine. And it can be used by blending with any kind of lead-free gasoline or ethanol gasoline at any proportion, or be used by itself without any limitation on action radius.
      8. Its unique high-effective catalyst has the smallest adding quantity (0.4~0.8%) and the lowest cost (RMB 78~258 / MT) among the counterparts in the world.
      9. The new invented high purity and non-metallic catalyst does not contain metal in any forms, such as lead, iron, zinc, bronze and so on. Thus, it provides an important guarantee on reducing the damage of the engine, prolonging the life span of the engine and preventing the second pollution.
10. It has no corruption for the engine system and no harm to the engine’s non-metallic rubber parts and pipes.
      11. The product has stable quality ,super enduration of –30。C temperature, lower sensation on water and longer storage, traportation period.
      12. Its raw material is simple and available everywhere. The product can be realized anywhere with gasoline (including ethanol gasoline or other crude oil) or methanol.
      13. The production enjoys several merits: simple facilities, low investment, closed operation under normal temperature and pressure, no three-waste pollution, easy to know how. And the quality has been ensured by the standard of domestic most strict enterprises.( know more on the web: www.jvlan.com)
      14. The cost of methanol is lower than gasoline, ethanol, the substitution amount is large. And its good profit, strong competitiveness and long profit period are especially suitable for the long-time investment.
      15. It has gained the entitlement of national invention patent and the brand registration, ensuring the exclusive rights and interests of the investors in certain field.
      16. M40~M85 methanol gasoline is the ideal and economic fuel for the engine with high compression ratio and upper-class automobiles, which are gradually launched in the international market.

      Sometimes, more important than technology…….
      Here we are excited and meanwhile feel the heavy burden on our shoulders. We deeply realized that only depending on our several people’s intelligence and passion for this important subject is far from enough, especially in such a small-sized science&techonology company. The strong sense of mission inspires our 10 years’ hard and unswerving effort although sometimes we were puzzled, helpless and hopeful. Nowadays, China has not been thoroughly changed into market economicized country. Thus, necessary policy and fund support, especially the development and the implementation of some crucial project related with our country’s interest of our country, sometimes maybe more important than the technology itself. It is the fact that the exploration of energy application technology is a high-risk and high investment field; while ultimately, the biggest benefitor is the country.
      Fortunately, energy problem has drawn the high attention of our leaders. And National Development and Improvement Committee has specifically mentioned “promoting the technology of catalytic combustion by large proportional methanol ( see details from the below diagram). We believe that with the promotion and application of this technology, the value bringing to the national energy safety, comprehensive use of resource, energy saving and waste reduction, environmental protection and green house gas decrease, can not be simply measured by the data.
