| Description |
In India, cracked furnace oil comprises mainly of
unconvertedbottoms from residue conversion in hydrocracker/
FCC unit, which has undergone significant
thermal cracking. The sediment content of this oil is
around 0.7 -1.5 %as against the required value of 0.25
%. This furnace oil caused frequent plugging of the fuel
lines and burners. High asphaltene and thermooxidatively
unstable constituents cause large-scale
depositsduringstorage,transportationand uses leads to
,- heavy loss of this fuel. The non-stop degradation of
fumace oil causes poor combustion efficiency and fuel
economy. Some additives were developed and
evaluatedas candidatesfor stabilizationof these furnace
oils. The furnace oil was doped with these dispersants /
stabilizers in 1000-mg/literdosage. It was observed that
these additives cause considerable reduction in total
sedimentsalmost 10 times and in unfilterable residue by
2.5 times. Test on LAP burner in an actual furnace
reveals that additives gives significant improvement in
terms of combustion efficiency (15.4%), fuel economy
(26.7%) and particulates in flue gases (40%). It is thus
possible to improve quality of cracked furnace oil to an
acceptable performance level by the help of proper
additive.
