Title: SRC-II Demonstration Project. Phase zero, task number 3: deliverable number 9. Volume 5. Market assessment: direct fuel application, transportation and industry

Abstract

This volume contains two reports on direct applications of SRC-II fuel oil other than in electric power generation or industrial steam production. The first report deals with two categories, as follows: (1) medium speed diesel engines for locomotives, marine propulsion, standby power, pipelines, oil drilling rigs, off-highway trucks, industrial power, and flood water pumping; and (2) transportation-type gas turbines for off-highway trucks and construction machinery, highway trucks and buses, workboats, pipelines, electrical generation. The second report deals with direct-fired industrial heaters of two types: (1) kilns; reverberatory furnaces; rotary, flash, and spray dryers; blast furnaces; annealling and heat treating furnaces where the combustion gases are in direct contact with the products being manufactured. (2) Process heaters in which oils or liquid chemicals are heated in tubes inside a furnace, much as water is heated in the tubes of a boiler. The quantities of fuel consumed in the United States in these applications, principally No. 2 diesel fuel and No. 2 fuel oil, are estimated. SRC-II fuel oil shows promise for direct substitution in significant quantities in some of the industrial processes (perhaps with low-NO/sub x/ burners) as gas and petroleum fuel oil become scarce. Substitution in the diesel engines andmore » transportation-type gas turbines might require engine adjustments and/or modifications, and possibly some fuel upgrading (additives and/or hydrogenation). Test work is needed; is under consideration; and in some instances is under way to explore the match between fuels and equipment.« less
