Title: Development of quantitative infrared analysis for monitoring water and emulsifying agents in fire-resistant microemulsion diesel fuels. Final report

Abstract

The Army has developed a Fire-Resistant Fuel (FRF) which consists of 10 volume percent (vol %) water, 6 volume percent amide/amine/soap emulsifying agent (EA) and 84 volume percent Diesel Fuel (DF-2). It is necessary to have methods of monitoring the volume percent of each component in the blending of FRF from FRF field mixer unit. A quantitative infrared (IR) analysis for monitoring water and EA in FRF has been developed. The differential IR technique was applied to minimize the interference of weak DF-2 absorption in the regions of analytical wave number chosen. The IR method would determine volume percent of water in the range of 4 to 10 volume percent and volume percent of EA in the range of 4 to 8 volume percent of FRF with fair accuracy.
