A workshop to consider problems related to fuel oil utilization was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on October 7-9, 1986. The 77 participants included fuels, engineering, and operating representatives of 21 US utilities, one Canadian utility, the Instituto de Investigaciones Electricas (Mexico), the Central Electricity Generating Board (Great Britain), the Electric Power Research Institute, and contractors engaged in EPRI fuel oil projects. The primary objective of the meeting was the interchange of information related to fuel oil projects conducted by some of the utilities, EPRI, EPRI contractors, and others. Through the discussions, EPRI gained useful insight into directions for continuing and future studies and utility support efforts. The presentations and discussions addressed fuels and combustion related problems encountered in utility boiler systems burning residual fuel oils as the primary fuel. Included were the results of fundamental studies, plant tests and demonstrations, and operating experiences. Among the major topics covered were the fundamentals of particulate formation, technology for reducing particulate emissions, utility experiences with burning emulsions (both oil-in-water and water-in-oil), stability and compatibility of residual oils, fuel quality control, fuel oil research and experiences in Great Britain and Mexico, and the progress and results from EPRI sponsored efforts related to fuel oil utilization. All papers in this proceedings have been processed for inclusion in the Energy Data Base.
