Summary of operational

experience

• Diesel engines designed for heavy fuel operation can use bio fuels
without significant modifications

• Due to the natural oxygen content in bio fuels

- NOx emissions are slightly higher


- Soot emissions are significantly lower in part load operation

• Due to the lack of sulphur in the fuel: no SOx emissions

• Because of the lower calorific value of biofuel compared to HFO the


engine output is derated by 5 % (for 37 MJ/kg)

Distillative Deacidification

 The distillative deacidification is a steam distillation.


The principal task of the steam treatment is to remove free fatty acids
