FUEL OIL TREATMENT
FUEL OIL PROPERTIES TO LOOK AT:
SPECIFIC GRAVITY:0.96 ~ 0.99
SULFUR:1~3.5%
SODIUM:15 ~ 50 PPM
VANADIUM:50 ~ 600 PPM
ASHPHALTENES:10~40%
CONRADSON CARBON RESIDUE:5~20%

FUEL OIL COMBUSTION
FUEL OIL COMBUSTION MEANS:
FUEL OIL(1 Kg) +AIR(~15Kg) +EXCESS AIR>
ENERGY+FLUE
GASES+PARTICULATES+DEPOSITION ON
COMBUSTION SURFACES +POLLUTANTS
(SOx, NOx)
FUEL OIL TREATMENT
FUEL OIL CONSISTS OF : C,H,N&O
C:~85%,H~14%...
CARBON BURNS TO BECOME: CO2,CO & C
(UBC)
[C+O2—>CO2]
HYDROGEN BURNS TO BECOME H2O
[H2+1/2 O2-->H2O]
FUEL OIL COMBUSTION
SULFUR COMBUSTION: S+O > SO2,
SO2+1/2O2 > SO3
SO3+H2O > H2SO4
H2SO4 VAPOR+FLUE GASES > PLUME
H2SO4+SOOT > STICKY SMUT
H2SO4+METALS > CORROSION
FUEL OIL COMBUSTION
SODIUM BURNS TO BECOME: Na2O
VANADIUM BECOMES: V2O3,V2O4 & V2O5
Na2O+H2SO4 > Na2SO4(430℃) > COLD END
DEPOSITS & CORROSION
Na2O.V2O5-->EUTECTIC MELT (670℃) > HOT
