The difference between marine fuel and regular fuel

2024-05-24

There are significant differences between marine fuel and conventional fuel in multiple aspects:


1Chemical composition: Marine fuel is mainly composed of heavy hydrocarbons, including hydrocarbons, high molecular chain alkanes, and high boiling compounds. The exhaust gas produced by its combustion contains certain sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides. However, regular fuel includes various types, such as gasoline, diesel, and heavy oil, and its chemical composition is relatively less homogeneous than that of marine fuel.

2Usage: Marine fuel is the main source of ship power, used in the power system of ships, including main and auxiliary engines. Ordinary fuel is widely used in the power systems of various mechanical equipment, such as automobiles, generator sets, etc.

3. Supply mechanism: Marine fuel is generally provided by shipping companies, trading companies, and other institutions, and is usually transported to ships through pipelines at specialized supply stations or terminals. In contrast, regular fuel can be supplied at gas stations and other places.


In addition, marine fuel also has some special properties, such as a relatively high alkaline value, to neutralize the acidic substances generated after fuel combustion; Good water resistance, as ships may encounter water pollution while sailing at sea. These characteristics are not possessed by ordinary fuel.


Overall, there are significant differences between marine fuel and conventional fuel in terms of chemical composition, usage, supply methods, and some special properties. These differences enable the two types of fuel to meet the different needs of ships and general mechanical equipment, respectively.
