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.

During the development of a rich-lean staged dry low NOx combustor, the conventional trend of increasing smoke with increasing operating equivalence ratio was found when tests were run with distillate fuel (%H = 13.0). However, when tests were run with residual fuel (%H = 11.4), the trend was reversed. In addition, when the same combustor was run with blends of distillate fuel and residual fuel, a drastic improvement of smoke was observed when only 6 percent of residual fuel was mixed with distillate fuel, and for any blending of more than 10 percent of residual fuel the combustor was practically smoke free. A chemical analysis of fuel samples revealed an appreciable amount of trace metals in the residual fuel, giving rise to the suspicion that the smoke reduction may have been due in part to these trace metals. Of these elements found, vanadium is believed to be the most likely to cause smoke reduction because of its relatively high concentration.

This paper discusses the results obtained from the rich-quench-lean (RQL) combustion system running on distillate fuel and coal water slurry (CWS). Estimates of fuel bound nitrogen (FBN) yield indicate that rich lean combustion is successful in reducing the yield from coal water slurry fuel to between 8% and 12%. Some improvements in combustion efficiency are required when burning coal water slurry to reduce carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons to acceptable levels. These improvements are achievable by increasing the lean zone residence time. Further testing is planned to investigate the effects of residence time in more detail. The planned deposition, erosion, and corrosion (DEC) testing will evaluate alternative approaches for protection from deposition, erosion, and corrosion of turbines operating with coal derived fuels.

Distillate Fuel

A method for the measurement of particulate and sulfur oxides emissions has been developed and tested in the laboratory and the field. The development shows that changes in analysis methods, procedures, and materials are necessary in order to adapt standard USEPA methods to gas turbine conditions. In particular, extreme care must be taken to prevent the formation of pseudo particulate from sulfur dioxide. The field results demonstrate that a G.E. MS7001B emits less than 10 lbm/hr of total particulate if the fuel ash and sulfur content are suitably restricted.

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.
