This study reports an ongoing effort to investigate the degradation rate of a low-speed Listeroid diesel engine running on filtered waste vegetable oil (WVO). It aims to measure the performance, wear rate, and emissions of the engine over the course of a 1,000 hour longevity test. In a consecutive arrangement, exhaust gas is used to heat the oil, reducing its viscosity close to that of diesel for the duration of the residence time in the fuel line. This reduces engine power loss, pumping losses, head losses, carbonization and coking, which ultimately increases longevity. When completed, the technical methods developed, data collected, lessons learned, and hardware used will all be incorporated into a manufacturable, stand-alone, cost-efficient, field conversion kit for the Listeroid engine. The results of this study will be beneficial in actualizing the widespread and practical use of WVO and straight vegetable oil (SVO) fuels in developing countries.

Straight vegetable oil (SVO) fuels such as palm oil, animal fat oil and waste vegetable oil were tested as fuels in a single-cylinder diesel engine to evaluate applicability to medium-speed diesel engines. Fuel-related properties of the SVO were assessed and compared with conventional marine diesel fuel oil (MDO). The total acid number (TAN) of the SVO fuels changed during a short interval in a drying oven which heated the SVO fuels to 170 degrees Celsius for several weeks. The SVO have not gone rancid any further after reaching limit. And the TAN of the SVO fuels was not related to corrosion of the parts. The SVO fuels needed to be heated to an appropriate temperature to use as fuel of the engine since the SVO fuels are more viscous than conventional diesel fuels. Both the injection period and the injection pressure increased due to low heating values of the SVO fuels. By the same token, fuel oil consumption increased over 10%. The overall exhaust emissions were lower with the SVO fuels, but NOx emission was as much as MDO at the higher loads.

In developing countries, oil consumption corresponds to 56% of total energy consumption. This generates competition between supply points, which are gas stations. Given the scarce differentiation between these supply points and low margins for sales, the strategy adopted by these service stations depends on the correct identification of both external and internal factors. In the present study, six multi-criteria techniques and a “strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats” (SWOT) analysis are proposed to quantitatively evaluate the factors that affect a specific network of gas stations. A total of two sets of results are obtained and it was determined for the chosen set of analysis that the recommended alternative is the improvement of training for personnel and image of the brand. The factor with the greatest weight is the low operational risk of compliance with emergency regulations. The differences in the results cause some factors to be more important than others and the proposed implementation to be contrary to expectations. The contribution of this study is the analysis of the performance of different multi-criteria tools in an actual case using the same data source.
