A workshop to consider problems related to fuel oil utilization was held in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 19 and 20, 1985. The 35 participants included fuels, engineering, and operating people from 15 utilities. The primary objective of the meeting was the interchange of information related to projects conducted by some of the utilities, EPRI, and others. Through the discussions, EPRI gained useful insight into directions for future studies and utility support efforts. A continuing concern of the utilities is the declining quality of fuel oils available and the inability of current specifications to prevent or predict problems in handling and burning the oils. The presentations at the workshop covered future oil supplies, predicting compatibility, combustion of high-asphaltene oils, operating and test programs to alleviate emission problems, and EPRI's planned projects relating to fuel oil combustion and fuel oil quality. All nine papers in this proceedings have been processed for inclusion in the Energy Data Base.
