RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF RESIDUAL FUEL OIL CONTAINING FUEL BLENDS WITH BIO ADDITIVES. PART 2. BIOADDITIVES BASED ON METHYL ESTERS OF RAPESEED OIL

摘要

Rheological properties of residual fuel oil, water-residual fuel oil emulsions, and their blends with off-grade methyl esters of fatty acids (MEFA) of rapeseed oil are studied in the 20-80°C range. It is demonstrated that addition of 1-10% of MEFA reduces the viscosity of residual fuel oil of the trademark Ml 00 by 12-73% and addition of 1-3% of MEFA reduces the viscosity of water-residual fuel oil emulsions by 15-65%. Use of MEFA bioadditives and rapeseed oil is shown to be effective for modification of water-containing residual fuel oils.
