The Dodecanese energy system
The economic growth of the Dodecanese islands in Greece has been based solely on tourism and the electricity production is very critical in sustaining this economic growth. The electricity production is solely done with the use of diesel and heavy fuel oil. Even though there have been some efforts in introducing renewable energy of various forms, the results remain dismal. Due to this situation, ...

Removal of heavy fuel oil from sunken ship - Case Study
Claytek was hired to separate heavy fuel oil recovered from a sunken ship from seawater Location: West coast of Vancouver Island The MV Schiedyk was a 147-metre cargo ship that sank in 1968 after striking a submerged ledge on the west coast of Vancouver Island. It sits in 120 metres of water. An oily sheen was reported on the water in December 2020, and the ...

Evaluating toxicity of heavy fuel oil fractions using complementary modeling and biomimetic extraction methods
The toxicity of chemically dispersed heavy fuel oil (HFO) and 3 distillate fractions to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) embryos was evaluated using the PETROTOX model and a biomimetic extraction technique that involved passive sampling of oil‐contaminated test media with solid‐phase microextraction (SPME) fibers. Test solutions for toxicity testing were generated using a combination of ...

The power generation sector's demand for fossil fuels: a quantitative assessment on the viability of carbon fees for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
The demand for fossil fuels by Ontario's conventional steam power generation sector is examined in this paper. It is hypothesised that the enactment of a carbon fee policy will induce a change in the relative prices of the three fuels used in this sector (coal, natural gas and heavy fuel oil). This would lead to substantial interfuel substitution and greenhouse gas abatement. The demand share ...

Effects‐driven chemical fractionation of heavy fuel oil to isolate compounds toxic to trout embryos
Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) spills account for approximately 60% of ship‐source oil spills and are up to fifty times more toxic than medium and light crude oils. HFOs contain elevated concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and alkyl‐PAH, known to be toxic to fish, however little direct characterization of HFO toxicity has been reported. An effects‐driven chemical fractionation ...

Comparison between refinery processes for heavy oil upgrading: a future fuel demand
Petroleum refining industry is entering into the significant era of reformation due to the depletion of light petroleum and an increase in heavy or extra heavy crude oil production. There is a strong need to revise the processes that are commercially available for heavy crude oil refining. Upgrading of heavy and extra heavy oil by means of catalytic processes requires new generation catalyst ...

What is Cogeneration?
Cogeneration is the process of generating both electrical and heat energy from a single fuel source. Also known as Combined Heat & Power (CHP), cogeneration makes use of the commonly discarded thermal energy which is generated from the combustion of fuels such as diesel, natural gas, bi-fuel, and even heavy fuel oil (HFO). The entire CHP process revolves around fuel-driven electric ...

Set Up A Tire To Fuel Plant With Pyrolysis Technology
Pyrolysis can be used to convert various types of waste materials, like plastics, rubber, medical waste, and scrap tires, into profitable fuels. Having a rubber pyrolysis plant, used tires might be transformed into tire oil, carbon black, steel wire and combustible gases. What's more, the tire oil might be refined into gasoline or diesel fuel utilizing a distillation machine. This means it can be ...
