Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
48 words
A fuel oil conditioning composition consisting essentially of from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of at least one organic magnesium compound selected from the group consiting of magnesium sulfonates and magnesium carbonates per part by weight of at least one organic manganese salt of mixed aliphatic acids.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
48 words
A fuel oil conditioning composition consisting essentially of from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of at least one organic magnesium compound selected from the group consiting of magnesium sulfonates and magnesium carbonates per part by weight of at least one organic manganese salt of mixed aliphatic acids.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
64 words
A method of conditioning combustible fuel oils to improve combustion efficiency and reduce sulfur trioxide emissions during combustion which comprises adding prior to combustion from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of at least one organic magnesium compound selected from the group consisting of magnesium sulfonates and magnesium carbonates per part by weight of at least one organic manganese salt of mixed aliphatic acids.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
64 words
A method of conditioning combustible fuel oils to improve combustion efficiency and reduce sulfur trioxide emissions during combustion which comprises adding prior to combustion from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of at least one organic magnesium compound selected from the group consisting of magnesium sulfonates and magnesium carbonates per part by weight of at least one organic manganese salt of mixed aliphatic acids.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
60 words
A composition comprising from 75 to 1,500 mg/1 of fuel oil of a fuel oil conditioning composition consisting essentially of from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of at least one organic magnesium compound selected from the group consisting of magnesium sulfonates and magnesium carbonates per part by weight of at least one organic manganese salt of mixed aliphatic acids.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
60 words
A composition comprising from 75 to 1,500 mg/1 of fuel oil of a fuel oil conditioning composition consisting essentially of from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of at least one organic magnesium compound selected from the group consisting of magnesium sulfonates and magnesium carbonates per part by weight of at least one organic manganese salt of mixed aliphatic acids.
