Distillate Fuel

California experienced a 300% increase in loss of propulsion (LOP) incidents since its distillate fuel regulation came into effect in 2009. The compression ignition (Diesel) engines aboard modern cargo ships over 10,000 gross tons use 3.0% sulfur Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO). This fuel must be heated to flow through the fuel lines because at normal ambient temperature HFO has the consistency of tar. Distillate fuel in contrast does not require the high temperatures, and the thermodynamics of cooling metal, gaskets and seals resulted in leaks, along with filter clogging from engine buildup scrubbing. In addition, the cost savings of using HFO are significant over the use of distillate fuel which is typically around US$300 more per ton.

Co(II) porphyrins have been utilized as efficient and selective catalysts for the extractive oxidative desulfurization reaction on the refractory dibenzothiophene (DBT) in [Formula: see text]-dodecane (model middle distillate fuel oil). The acetonitrile was taken as extracting polar solvent and H2O2 was used as oxidant. The reaction optimization was done with respect to DBT:catalyst molar ratio; DBT:H2O2 molar ratio; extracting solvent: CH3CN/[Formula: see text]-dodecane volume ratio; reaction temperature and time. Under the optimized conditions, a maximum of [Formula: see text]98% DBT removal was achieved by using the meso-tetrakis(4[Formula: see text] methoxyphenyl)porphyrinatocobalt(II) as catalyst under mild conditions at 50[Formula: see text]C.

The effects of water-to-oil ratio, surfactant content, stayed time, and homogenizing speed on the emulsification characteristics of emulsion activity, emulsion stability, and mean micro-water-droplets diameter for a light distillate fuel oil and a heavy residual fuel oil are experimentally investigated. It is revealed that after centrifuging, the emulsion of the distillate fuel separates into four distinct layers from top to bottom of a test tube. Also, an emulsion of the distillate fuel oil emulsified with surfactant Span 20 is shown to have more fluctuating variations of emulsion activity and mean diameter of water droplets with homogenizing speed. A saturated state of the emulsion with the surfactant addition appears as the surfactant content = 1.5 to 2.0%. Higher surfactant content than 2% is shown to deteriorate the emulsification characteristics of these fuel oils. In addition, the residual fuel oil is found to have better emulsification characteristics in comparison with the distillate fuel oil.
