Description

BS PD CEN/TR 16389:2017 explains the requirements and test methods for marketed and deliveredparaffinic diesel as such from synthesis (XTL) or hydrotreatment (HVO) and of blends thereof with upto 7%(V/V) of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) according to European fuel specifications. It providesbackground information to judge the final text of the European Standard EN 15940 and gives guidanceand explanations to the producers, blenders, marketers and users of paraffinic automotive diesel.

Paraffinic diesel is a high quality, clean burning fuel with virtually no sulfur and aromatics. Paraffinicdiesel fuel can be used in diesel engines, also to reduce regulated emissions. In order to have thegreatest possible emissions reduction, a specific calibration may be necessary. Paraffinic diesel fuel canalso offer a meaningful contribution to the target of increased non-crude derived and/or renewablecontent in transportation fuel pool.

For general diesel engine warranty, paraffinic automotive diesel fuel may need a validation step toconfirm the compatibility of the fuel with the vehicle, which for some existing engines may still need tobe done. The vehicle manufacturer needs to be consulted before use.
