At-Sea Test and Demonstration of Petroleum Coke-Oil Mixtures (PETCOM)

摘要

Cities Service Research and Development Company, in association with COMCO of America, Duval (Pennzoil) Corporation, Marine Transport Lines, Seaworthy Systems, and John Zink Company, developed a program for commercial demonstration of petroleum coke/oil mixtures (PETCOM) onboard a U.S. maritime vessel. The program was funded jointly by the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD), as Contract No. DTMA91-83-C-30048, and the above industrial participants. The program contained those items necessary to conduct the first ship demonstration of burning PETCOM during a four-month test period in order to fully assess its economic and technical merits. Some of the foremost experts in the U.S. on slurry fuels were brought together for this test to produce, transport, and use PETCOM onboard a U.S. flag ship.
