Low sulphur fuel
 Use of low-sulphur crude oil, but limited availability
 Blending of fuels is a possibility, and is done today
 Desulphurisation of HFO
According to the major fuel companies :
Much better investment to build high-efficient
refineries that can produce more valuable
products such as gasoline, diesel and LPG
than to build desulphurisation plants for HFO.

COMPLEX ECONOMIC SIGNALS WILL HELP
DEFINE MARINE FUEL EVOLUTION
Will new refinery projects and expansions be delayed to
take advantage of an expectation of lower materials costs
and to avoid periods where demand growth is low ?
Will Fuel Oil be converted to maximise middle distillate
production ?
Will refinery capacity additions and current infrastructure
capability outpace demand growth through to 2015 and
beyond ?

Impacts on Machinery
- Caused by properties of MGO 
Low lubricity
- Sticking/wearing down of fuel-injection pump

Low viscosity
- Leakage from fuel-injection pump, oil-pump sealing

Low flashpoint and high volatility
- Risk of an outbreak of a fire

High detergency
- Clogging FO filter with sludge accumulated in pipelines

Advantage of MGO Use
 Engine condition
Maintain combustion chamber of the engine in good
condition
 Less maintenance work and cost-savings
- Extension of MTBO
- Almost free of waste-oil treatment
- Simple machinery arrangement in the engine room
(HFO purifier, heating steam, waste-oil treatment, etc.)
13
Exhaust Gas Cleanup Technology
- Scrubber as an alternative method -

Benefit
- Lower fuel cost compared with MGO

Concern
- Developing system
- Criteria of discharge water
- Extra space in the engine room
Expecting development of scrubber
which will be matched for our needs.

Summary
1,
Proper operation procedures for changeover fuel should be
established.
2,
MGO will be mainly used after 2020/25.
3,
Machinery specifications should be modified.
4,
Stable supply of MGO will be required. (300 mil tons/year?)
5,
Modification cost, namely environmental cost, is an essential
investment for the company.
6,
MGO is partly an advantage for the engines.
7,
Development of a practicable scrubber as an alternative method
is expected.
8,
Gas/dual fuel engines, and the infrastructure of LNG supply, as
an alternative method, are also expected.

Alternative fuels
Long list of alternative fuels:
„ Bio fuel (fame)
(
)
„ GTL (synthetic diesel oil)
„ DME
„ Hydrogen
„ Gas (LNG, LPG)
„…
To make a difference the fuel have to be available world wide
and be economical viable
Based on that and the time frame in question, LNG is
consider to be the only alternative fuel to MGO and HFO

„ Lean Burn spark ignited (gas only)
„ Dual Fuel low pressure gas (5 bar)
Both can meet IMO tier III and have a significant potential for
GHG reduction (methane slip must be reduced)
„ Dual Fuel high pressure gas (about 350 bar)
Maintain diesel engine performance
performance. No methane slip
slip. Need
SCR for NOx reduction to meet IMO tier III
MARINTEK
10
Gas engine concept – 2 stroke
„ Dual Fuel high pressure gas (about 350 bar)
Maintain diesel engine performance.
No methane slip, GHG reduction in the range of 30%
Need SCR for NOx reduction to meet IMO tier III
„ Pumping LNG to 350 bar and evaporate is simple and with
low energy requirement
„ Flexibilityy in fuel mix
MARINTEK
11
Is LNG economical competitive to HFO?
Natural gas prices (including LNG) has been reduced the last two years
due to the introduction of shale gas in the US market
Due to that LNG has improved its competitiveness to HFO
For comparing fuel economy there two cost components for
HFO to be considered:
„ Cost purchase the fuel
„ Cost for burning the fuel (levy, tax, operation of exhaust gas cleaning)
and than the big question; what will be the price HFO in the future?
LNG is competitive to HFO today in some areas and we believe that LNG
will improve
p
its competitiveness
p
in the actual time frame considered
MARINTEK

Summing up
„ LNG is available world wide
„ Small scale distribution by dedicated ships are available
„ Storage technology for ships are available and under
further development
„ Gas engine technology is available for all types of piston

Distillate fuel operation
• Low flash point: Safety Aspect, the flash point of < 60 °C
• Low viscosity:
Leakage in the injection system and cavitations in fuel system
• Compatibility: Poor compatibility with heavy fuel can lead to:
• clogging of fuel filters,
• increased sludge amount
• sticking of fuel injection pumps,
• deposit formation on the engine components.
• Lubrication oil:
2 stroke engines with a high BN cylinder oil:
• Hard calcium carbonate deposits on the piston crown.
• The deposits can be minimised by reducing the cylinder
oil feed rate to the lowest possible safe level.
Field experience, ultra low sulphur diesel fuel
Documented field experience (ULSD), example:
• W 12V32
• 17,500 service hours
• Sulphur content of ~ 10 – 50 mg/kg
• Standard stellite exhaust valves / valve seats designed for distillate fuel operation
Findings:
• No marks of exhaust valve / valve seat brinelling
• No claims about excessive wear in the fuel injection equipment
• Lubricity additives can be added if the specified limit value is exceeded.
• Lubricating oil BN recommendation: 10 – 15 mg KOH/g

Straight bio fuels
Liquid bio fuels
Advantages
Disadvantages
+ No sulphur oxide emissions
- Slightly increased NOX’s
+ Reduction in CO2 emissions
- Contains ~10% less energy than petroleum
diesel
+ Lower particulate emissions
- Variations in ash content
+ Bio diesel mixes well with petroleum
diesel
+ Good lubrication properties
- High acid number (with some types)
- Water separate from bio diesel more difficult
- Solvent characteristics may degrade rubber
and attack certain metals
- Can foster heightened microbial activity
- Not suitable for long term storage (Acid
number increases, oxidation takes place)
- Cold flow properties can be a problem

Characteristics of vegetable oils
• Varying characteristics
– Ash content
Palm Oil 22°C
Palm Oil 60°C
• Can vary significantly in different LBF
qualities
• Influence on particulate emissions
– Viscosity is highly temperature
dependant
• Too cold temperature -> wax formation
• Too high temperature -> polymerization
– Phosphorus content
• Influence on the lifetime of DeNOx &
OxiCat
– Acid number
• Influence on fuel oil system wear & tear
Palm Stearin 22°C Palm Stearin 60°C
Mixing of liquid bio fuels and fossil fuels
Straight liquid bio fuel and heavy fuel:
• Straight LBF operating temperature is about 60 – 70 °C
• HFO requires about 100 – 140 °C
• Blending will mean that straight LBF fraction is heated to a higher
temperature than it should
Result: Risk of polymerization
Straight liquid bio fuel and distillate fuel:
• LBF operating temperature is about 60 – 70 °C
• MDO / MGO requires max. 45 °C temperature
• Blending will mean that MDO / MGO fraction is heated to a higher
temperature than it should
Result: Risk of cavitation, since light fractions are evaporating / boiling

Dimethyl ether (DME)
Properties:

Explosion limit: 3,4 – 17%
High cetane number: 55 – 60
Energy content about half of diesel fuel (28,8 MJ/kg)
Good combustion properties
Viscosity: 0,19 cSt @ 25 °C, 0,17 cSt @ 40 °C
Poor lubricity properties
Corrosive
Dissolves many rubber and plastic materials
Liquefies at pretty low pressure
Poor cold properties
Sensitive for bacterial growth in fuel system

Dimethylether (DME)
Manufacturing:
Fischer-Tropsch process by utilizing methane, black lye, biomass or coal
Synthetic fuel: Manufacturing decreases energy balance
Emissions:
Higher NOx than with fossil fuels
No particulate emissions
No SOx emissions
Bio diesel and fossil fuels:
Bio diesel and fossil diesel fuels (MDO / MGO) are considered to be
compatible
If bio diesel is mixed with heavy fuel, precipitation of asphaltenes can take
place in case heavy fuel’s stability reserve is low -> compatibility test needed

Future fuels. LSF and alternatives
Slide no. 2
Future fuels. LSF and alternatives
• LSFO
• MGO
Fuel
LSFO (1,0 % S) is fuel produced from sweet
crude.
PRO’s
• There will be enough LSFO in the market to
cover the increased demand toward 2015.
• Coping with environmental constraints.
• LNG
• Sulphur,
• NOx (engine design)
• FAME
CON’s
• CTL/GTL
HVO/BMTL
• Nuclear
• No imidiate investments required
• LSFO not in 0,1% S version
• Extra requirements 2015-2020 (approx 20
mill tons per year) cannot be covered by
LSFO. Will have to covered by MGO.
Logistics
• Limited logistic and operational challenges

What will come next after HFO
2010-2030
The most obvious answer:
HFO
With NOx reduction. EGR, SCR or water injection
With SOx scrubber. Wet or dry. Open or closed loop
And an emerging patchwork of the other alternatives
