Bio Oil as Cutter Stock in Fuel Oil Blends for Industrial Applications

In many countries, Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) is still a common fuel in industrial applications due to its low price and high energy density. However, the complex incomplete combustion of HFO results levels emissions efficiency, which causes search for additives improve properties without affecting heating value. The present paper aims use as an additive liquid fraction from pyrolysis polystyrene oil, replacing conventional such cutter stock, improving fluidity using heat pump it. As obtaining pyrolytic effect temperature on chemical composition thermal compact was studied. PS carried out range between 350 450 °C at rate 15 min−1 batch type reactor, with condensation system, order analyze best yield. At 400 we obtained 81%. This product presented kinematic viscosity 1.026 mm2 s−1, relative density 0.935, flash point 24 °C, gross value 48.5 MJ kg−1. Chromatographic analysis indicates that 75% by mass components corresponds C6 C20 hydrocarbons, showing generation isomers monomer aromatic compounds. mixed base oil 60 250 rpm period one hour, percentages 10 50% mass. 10% mixture has very close those required standard presenting 108 s−1 adjusts requirements burners applications; additionally, it Sulphur content lower than
