Creation of Technology and Devices for the Preparation of Motor Fuels Containing Biocomponents

In the world, active research is being conducted to create motor fuels containing bio-oil as a component, derived from renewable, environmentally friendly sources of raw materials such as wood processing waste, agriculture, marine algae, etc. One of the most commonly used technologies for bio-oil production is fast pyrolysis. Due to the physical and chemical properties of such bio-oil, direct blending with petroleum motor fuel is not possible.

The goal of the conducted research was to develop technology and devices to address this issue. Fundamental developments in the field of nonlinear wave mechanics formed the basis for these endeavors.

During the research, designs for motor fuel preparation devices were developed, and mathematical modeling of the mixing processes of fuel components was carried out. The obtained data were analyzed and transferred to natural samples, which were examined during experiments.

As a result, blended fuels based on bio-oil (up to 15% by weight) and diesel fuel (marine) with stability of up to 10 days without the use of surface-active substances (SF) and 25-30 days with the addition of SF (up to 0.5% by weight) were obtained.

Fuel containing SF is re-homogenized by traditional stirring for at least 3 months. The obtained results confirmed the correctness of the chosen approach and the feasibility of using the developed technology for preparing blended motor fuel containing bio-oil.
