“…It was stressed that the two models behaved similarly during the “adaptive” calibration process as well as in simulation performance. Aramkitphotha et al 61 looked into the possibility of combining MPO (microalgae pyrolysis oil) and ULO (used lubricating oil) to replace petroleum fuels in marine applications. It resulted that the Microalgae Lubricant Blend (MLB20), a 20% MPO and 80% ULO blend, is a possible low sulfur marine fuel.…”

End‐of‐life tires (ELTs) and their decomposition are becoming a major environmental issue in the local region as a result of economic and technological challenges. Despite this, ELT management is gaining popularity as an advanced function for treating tires to obtain char, oil, and gas products using pyrolysis. The main goal of this article is to integrate data from an actual recycling plant with the activities of pyrolysis products and their physical properties in the literature. This article presents energy potentials and basic applications of pyrolysis products as well as advances in the current situation in ELT management in the world. Accordingly, an existing ELT management in Erzincan, Turkey is explained in detail by considering the available energy recovery and material treatment activities. In this plant, which has an installed power capacity of 12 MW, approximately 25 tons of pyrolytic oil, 10.7 tons of pyrolytic gas, 24 tons of carbon black and, 10.4 tons of steel are produced daily. The calorific values of carbon black and pyrolytic oil for the products leaving the pyrolysis plant are close to the values in the literature, which is promising. In the plant, the overall thermal efficiency of the system and the engine is found to be 26.34% and 51.24%, respectively. On the other hand, to supply additional power to the plant utilizing exhaust gas discharged to the atmosphere, some thermodynamic models can be developed; additionally, more rational values can be obtained through thermoeconomic and optimization.

“…However, since the introduction of low-sulfur fuel oil to the market, the number of ships plagued by engine failure has increased significantly, and most of the engine failures are related to the clogged fuel oil filters caused by poor stability of the lowsulfur fuel oil [8]. In particular, asphaltene aggregation and precipitation are the main factors related to fuel oil instability issues [9]. erefore, studies of methods to improve the quality and stability of low-sulfur fuel oil have become increasingly popular, especially measures to inhibit asphaltene, a large fused-ring aromatic component, precipitation [10][11][12][13].…”

Asphaltene aggregation and precipitation are one of the major issues for marine low-sulfur fuel oil used on board. Many research studies have been carried out to investigate the aggregation behavior of asphaltene under different conditions, but the mechanism of asphaltene aggregation in low-sulfur fuel oil at the molecular level is still unclear. In this work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to calculate the solubility parameters, intermolecular interaction energies, and radial distribution function (RDF) curves of each component in marine low-sulfur fuel oil to examine their mutual compatibility. Simulation results indicate that the solubility parameter of resin gains the highest value and it is close to asphaltene. The solubility parameters of aromatic, hexadecane, and saturate decrease successively. The interaction energy between resin and asphaltene molecules is higher than that between the same kind of molecules, which means that resin can inhibit the aggregation of asphaltene molecules. Typically, a light distillate component (hexadecane) is added to heavy fuel oil to yield low-sulfur oil, and our calculations reveal that this has a negative effect on asphaltene aggregation. Specifically, asphaltene is more likely to self-aggregate, as shown by the increase in peak height in the radial distribution function of the asphaltene-asphaltene pair. The findings of this study will provide theoretical support for the production of marine low-sulfur fuel.
