The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research- National Chemical Laboratory (CSIR-NCL) in collaboration with a processing engineering partner is ready to scale up the Dimethyl Ether technology to an industrial scale demonstration.
About Dimethyl Ether:
It is a synthetically produced alternative to diesel for use in specially designed compression ignition diesel engines.
Properties of Dimethyl Ether
It has a very high cetane number, which is a measure of the fuel’s ignitibility in compression ignition engines.
Under normal atmospheric conditions, DME is a colorless gas.
It burns cleaner, emitting minimal amounts of soot, nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), and particulate matter.
Furthermore, DME exhibits thermal efficiency that is comparable to traditional fuels, making it a viable substitute
It can be a viable alternative fuel and engine technology to adapt to conventional diesel engines used in India’s agricultural and transport sectors.
Application of Dimethyl Ether:
It is used extensively in the chemical industry and as an aerosol propellant.
It is used in chemical industries and also to produce dyes and plastics.
