Blending Ratio Of Low Sulphur Diesel A Key To Lower Emissions

Abstract

Sulphur content is one of the key properties of fossil fuels that are related to combustion characteristics including generation of pollutant emission. It is impossible to clean the air, or in particular to reduce air pollution from the transportation sector, without getting Sulphur out of fuels. Sulphur is a pollutant directly, but more importantly, Sulphur prevents the adoption of all major pollution control technologies. No significant air pollution reduction strategy can work without reducing Sulphur to near-zero levels. Sulphur is a naturally occurring component of crude oil and is found in diesel. When this fuel is burned, Sulphur is emitted as Sulphur dioxide (SO2) or sulphate particulate matter. Sulphur fouls conventional and advanced technologies to control vehicle emissions, including carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and hydrocarbons (HC). Low-Sulphur fuels are the key to reducing emissions from existing vehicles and enabling advanced control technologies and fuel-efficient designs for new vehicles. This paper addresses the need to reduce Sulphur in transportation fuels by blending of High Speed Diesel (HSD) with Low Sulphur Heavy Stack (LSHS) and Raw Diesel (RD) with Low Sulphur Heavy Stack (LSHS) to meet the specification of Light Diesel Oil (LDO) and the benefits that can be realized in terms of total pollutant emissions. The blending ratio of for the HSD: LSHS do not meet the required specification and RD: LSHS meeting the specification of LDO in 80:20 ratios.
