U.S. GASOLINE COMPOSITION STUDY
Citation:
WEAVER, J. W. U.S. GASOLINE COMPOSITION STUDY. Presented at MTBE and Other Fuel Oxygenates: Comprehensive Site Assessment and Successful Groundwater Remediation Workshop, Reno, NV, March 06 - 07, 2006.
Impact/Purpose:
To assist decision-making by improving approaches to subsurface contaminant transport modeling based on evaluation of field observations and subsequent development of appropriate modeling approaches and tools.
Description:
This presentation presents results from a 2004/2005 study of U.S. gasoline composition. Differences in composition are driven by regulation, octane requirements, refining methods, and performance needs. Major differences in composition were traced to a few compounds: benzene, MTBE, ethanol; and octane: iso-octanes, oxygenates, toluene.
