FUEL OIL TREATMENT- Problem and Solution Summary

Problem

Solution

Fuel sludging
High water content and fuel polymerisation
causes sludge formation and filter blocking.

Inhibit polymerisation and disperse sludge in to

combustible state. Demulsify water and
stabilise fuel to restore combustion
characteristics.

High temperature corrosion

A combination of vanadium and sodium results Raise the melting point of the ashes to keep
in highly corrosive ashes with low melting
them as solids. The ashes are then ejected
points which attack metals causing damage

of sulphuric acid. In diesel engines the use of
ash
modifiers inhibits the catalytic action that
vanadium has on the SO2->S03 conversion.

Ash deposits
Carbon residuals from combustion processes
bind ash particles together to form deposits.

Combustion catalyst increases C->CO2

conversion reducing free carbon.

Smoke and Smut Emission

Low excess air; pre-heat temperatures too
high:burner/injector malfunction; fouled air
coolers;incorrect timing; high MCRfuel,
resulting in excessive carbon residue.
Deterioration of power output

Check and adjust mechanical functions e.g.clean air cooler. A combustion catalyst will
reduce carbon residue formation.

efficiency in boilers and turbocharger surging

Combustion catalysts improve combustion. Ash

modifiers reduce deposits.
