Analysis of Characteristic Changes of Blended Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil on Ultrasonic Frequency for Marine Fuel

Hae-ji Ju and Soo-kyung Jeon    

Resumen

The demand for very low sulfur fuel oil (VLSFO) with a sulfur content of less than 0.5% has increased since the IMO2020 regulations were published. However, most VLSFOs for marine fuel are produced by blending two fuel oils with different sulfur contents, which causes some problems, such as sludge formation. This study investigates the effect of ultrasonic irradiation frequency (25 and 72 kHz), ultrasonic irradiation time (0, 12, and 24 h), and the blending ratio (marine gas oil (MGO) and bunker-A (B-A) with weight ratios of 25:75, 50:50, and 75:25 on the characteristics of blended VLSFO. After 12 h of irradiation time and a frequency of 25 kHz, the amount of carbon residue decreases with increasing MGO content; it decreases by 33% for 75% MGO. However, at 72 kHz, the carbon residue increases with increasing MGO content, implying that the change in carbon residue depends on the ultrasonic frequency. After 24 h, the carbon residue does not decrease in any scenario; however, it does increase in some cases due to asphaltene reaggregation caused by excessive ultrasonic irritation. The sulfur content decreases by approximately 4% for the 100% B-A condition.
