The effect of the homogenizer on board of the MS Ryndam
Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) is not homogenous and has an average droplet size of 70 micron and larger.
It contains numerous much larger clusters of asphaltenes and complex long-chain hydro-carbons.
It is a refinery waste stream product with a high BTU content used as fuel oil.
Centrifuges and automated filters are used to clean the fuel. A percentage of the purchased fuel ends
up in the slop tank.
HFO needs to be heated and pressurized before it can be used to operated engines or boilers.
Exposing fuel to heat and pressure will unavoidably increase the size and mass of the fuel droplet,
change the physical condition of the oil and negatively impact the combustion process.
Implementing IPCO Power Fluid Shearing Technology reduces fuel droplet size to 3 micron and
smaller to enhance the cleaning process.
Smaller fuel droplets enhance combustion, lower emissions, improve fuel economy, extend engine
overhaul intervals and lower overall operating costs.
This report is from the evaluation of the homogenizer onboard of the MS Ryndam.
The following evaluations have been performed:
Baseline run
Homogenizer only For this evaluation purpose the vessel is excellent. The diesel-electric propulsion will show the produced amount of KW from the engine. Because of the more engines configuration, it is possible to put one engine on load control (fixed load).
