Reuse of low sulfur oil residues as a base for boiler and marine fuel

Power engineering: research, equipment, technology, 2022
THE PURPOSE. A complex of various physico-chemical methods has been studied to explore the possibilities of reuse of oil residues (oil sludge) of low-sulfur high-paraffin oil deposits of the Mangyshlak peninsula (Kazakhstan) as a promising raw material for boiler and marine fuel with improved operational and environmental characteristics.METHODS ...

Algal food and fuel coproduction can mitigate greenhouse gas emissions while improving land and water-use efficiency [PDF]

, 2016
The goals of ensuring energy, water, food, and climate security can often conflict.Microalgae (algae) are being pursued as a feedstockfor both food and fuels—primarily due to algae’s high areal yield and ability to grow on non-arable land, thus ...

Combustion of Single Droplet of Marine Residual Fuel Oils

JOURNAL OF THE MARINE ENGINEERING SOCIETY IN JAPAN, 1987
An experimental study on combustion characteristics of a single oil droplet hanged on a quartz filament was performed to investigate the effect of fuel oil composition on combustion. Fuel oils used in the experiment were twenty-seven residual oils which had been supplied at the port all over the world for marine use and two residual oils which had been
