With the increased availability of low-cost natural gas, the co-conversion of natural gas and biomass-to-liquid fuels has attracted attention from industry due to its potential for improving liquid fuel yields while lowering greenhouse gas emissions.…
A method for identifying straits of rocket kerosene (RG-1 and T-1 brands) and various types of hydrocarbon fuels (aviation fuel TC-1 and diesel fuel) in soil has been developed. The proposed version of identification is based on the preliminary…
A coal-petroleum co-processing oil (CPCO) and its distillation fraction at 180 C (DF180) were subjected to catalytic hydro-desulfurization and hydrogenation with batch autoclave and fixed bed reactor respectively to produce potential jet fuels with…
Bio jet fuel becomes one of the feasible solutions for jet fuel inadequate supply in Indonesia. However, study in this field by far has been limited. In this study, bio jet fuel was synthesized from Crude Palm Oil (CPO) by Hydroprocessed Esters and…
In this study, the soot formation behavior of hydro-processed renewable jet and petroleum jet fuels (Jet-A1, and JP-5) was investigated using a laminar counter-flow diffusion flame. Laser-induced incandescence was utilized to measure the soot volume…
Fuel flash point is important for safe fuel handling. The presence of smaller, low flash point hydrocarbons (8 carbons atoms) found in fuel lowers its flashpoint. This work involved measuring the flash points of mixtures containing small hydrocarbons…
The occurrence of metals in crude oil and distillates may adversely affect oil processing, engines and turbines, plus contributing to environmental pollution, even at trace levels. Their detection is accordingly of the utmost relevance and several…
Sewage sludge, an abundant and problematic organic waste, was successfully converted into sustainable jet fuel range hydrocarbons (C8-C16). Sewage sludge was pre-conditioned and processed through a Thermo-Catalytic Reforming (TCR) system (2 Kg/h) at…
The occurrence of metals in crude oil and distillates may adversely affect oil processing, engines and turbines, plus contributing to environmental pollution, even at trace levels. Their detection is accordingly of the utmost relevance and several…
The detection and quantification of water droplets dispersed in hydrocarbon liquids is of importance industrially, but most notably for quality assurance of products such as diesel and jet fuel. In the present work, a small-scale prototype…
Abstract Jet Fuel from the gas-to-liquid (jet fuel-GTL) process is a suitable alternative to that produced from conventional oil refining because of its combustion efficiency, and compatibility to both legacy and newly designed aircrafts engines. It…
