Study on producing marine fuel oil by blending

In this paper, Fushun shale oil (FSO) was used as basis oil, which was blended with Anshan heavy oil (AHO) and Liaoyang heavy oil (LHO), respectively. Their physico-chemical properties were gained comprehensive analyses. Additionally, the contents of Na, K, Ca, Ni, V, and Zn of blended oils were determined by the Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP), and blended oils were divided into four groups and analyzed by column chromatography. The experimental results showed that there was optimal proportion between shale oil and heavy oil by blending. Its physico-chemical properties reached the standard of corporation, which further showed that the blending method was a feasible way to produce marine fuel oil.
