Research Progress of Blending Production Scheme of Low Sulfur Marine Fuel Oil
Under the International Maritime Organization (IMO) announced the low sulfur Marine fuel oil policy, the enterprises actively respond to the challenges brought by the low sulfur marine fuel oil market, adjust the refining structure, and seize the rare opportunity. In this paper, the desulphurization technology for the production of low sulfur marine fuel oil and the high efficiency utilization technology of residual oil were introduces. Hydrogenated residual oil, catalytic cracking diesel, deasphalted oil and catalytic cracking slurry can all be used as the main blending components. The research progress of pilot blending scheme of low sulfur marine fuel oil was reviewed, the key was how to blend with low cost under the premise that each index can meet the requirements. On this basis, the typical blending schemes of some refineries producing low sulfur marine fuel oil were introduced and analyzed. Due to the different types of raw materials and refining process, each enterprise should adopt its own blending scheme to maximize the economic benefit.
