The vast stores of biomass available in the worldwide have the potential to displace significant amounts of fuels that are currently derived from petroleum sources. Fast pyrolysis of biomass is one of possible paths by which we can convert biomass to higher value products. The wood pyrolysis oil (WPO), also known as the bio crude oil (BCO), has been regarded as an alternative fuel for petroleum fuels to be used in diesel engine. However, the use of WPO in a diesel engine requires modifications due to low energy density, high water contents, low acidity, and high viscosity of the WPO. One of the easiest way to adopt WPO to diesel engine without modifications is emulsification of WPO with diesel or bio diesel. In this study, a DI diesel engine operated with diesel, bio diesel (BD), WPO/BD emulsion was experimentally investigated. Performance and gaseous & particle emission characteristics of a diesel engine fuelled by WPO/BD emulsion were examined. Results showed that stable engine operation was possible with emulsion and engine output power was comparable to diesel and bio diesel operation.

In a previous report, the properties of vegetable oils as diesel fuel substitutes were investigated and the basic load performance of a diesel engine was examined using vegetable oil. The results show that despite of the long term chain hydrocarbon structure and large droplet size due to high viscosity, vegetable oils have good basic performance and exhaust emissions, however they cause serious problems as carbon deposit buildup, they have poor durability, and also poor thermal efficiency. In this paper, the startability and engine durability with long term operation was tested by physical methods for reducing viscosity when vegetable oil was used as compared against diesel fuel. The results obtained in this investigation may be stated as follows; (1) There is no problem in startability when vegetable oil was used as diesel fuel substitutes as far as fuel temperature is higher than 30.deg. C (2) The carbon deposits were most extensive at lower loads and lower engine speeds, and deposit buildup more heavily on the cooler parts of the combustion chamber wall. (3) Blends with 25% diesel fuel and 20v-% ethanol are effective in reducing the carbon deposit buildups. (4) Significant improvement in carbon deposit and piston ring stick can be obtained by heating fuel(200.deg.).

Biodiesel fuel that consists of saturated and unsaturated long-chain fatty acid alkyl esters is an alternative diesel fuel produced from vegetable oils or animal fats. However, air causes autoxidation of biodiesel fuel during storage, which can reduce fuel quality by adversely affecting its properties, such as the kinematic viscosity and acid value. One approach for improving the resistance of fatty derivatives to autoxidation is to mix them with antioxidants. This study investigated the effectiveness of five such antioxidants in mixtures with biodiesel fuels produced by three biodiesel manufacturers : tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), propyl gallate (PrG) and $\alpha$-tocopherol. Oxidation stability was determined using Rancimat equipment. The results show that TBHQ, BHA, and BHT were the most effective and $\alpha$-tocopherol was the least effective at increasing the oxidation stability of biodiesel. This study recommends that TBHQ and PrG be used for safeguarding biodiesel fuel from the effects of autoxidation during storage.

This paper addresses some concerns faced by the shipping industry nowadays. Initially, the environmental issues were resolved and stricter regulations are now being implemented with regards to the exhaust gas, specifically nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx), emitted from ships. Secondly, with the increasing and unstable cost of fuel oils in the world market, it has become almost a necessity to explore on a new alternative fuel. Hence, this study was conducted. An experiment was carried-out on a fishing survey vessel with the main engine (M/E) and generator engine (G/E) operated on expensive marine gas oil (MGO). During the experiment, two pre-refinery systems were installed and different fuel oil samples were employed for the M/E and the G/E. Furthermore, the NOx emission and soot concentration were monitored and verified. The results confirmed the compatibility of some fuel oil types to the engines and meeting the emission standards. MDO, MF15 and Bunker A can be used in place of MGO for the engines(M/E, G/E).

지구 온난화의 주 원인인 온실가스의 배출을 감소시키기 위해서 바이오연료에 대한 필요성 및 중요성이 제기되어 왔다. 이미 유럽을 중심으로 오래전부터 바이오디젤 연료에 대한 연구가 시작되어 왔으며 지금은 상용화 단계에 접어들고 있는 반면, 국내 바이오디젤 연료에 대한 연구 수준은 이제 시작단계에 불과한 실정이다. 바이오디젤 연료로 사용가능한 유지작물의 지방산 조성에 따라 자동차 엔진 성능이 저하될 수 있다는 문제가 제기되었고, 이를 해결하고자 표준화된 바이오디젤 품질 규격서가 마련되어졌다. 유럽에서 마련된 바이오디젤 규격에 의하면 올레인산 함량이 높은 기름이 바이오디젤 연료로 적합하며, 유채기름이 다른 유지작물의 기름에 비하여 바이오디젤 연료에 적합하다고 알려져 있다. 따라서 국내 유지작물의 바이오디젤 연료화를 위한 품질 개량과 생산량 증대를 위해 생명공학기술을 이용한 품종 개량에 관한 연구 전략에 대해 고찰하였다.

전 세계적으로 에너지원 다양화 및 온실가스 저감을 위한 다양한 신재생에너지 보급활성화 정책이 추진되고 있다. 국내에서도 500MW 이상의 발전설비를 보유한 발전사업자에게 신재생에너지 공급 의무화제도(Renewable Portfolio Standard(RPS))를 시행중이다. 발전사업자들은 의무공급량 이행을 위해 발전용 바이오중유를 사용하고 있다. 발전용 바이오중유란 동 식물성 유지, 지방산에스테르 및 그들의 혼합물로서 동점도, 유동점, 전산가 등의 품질특성을 만족해야 한다. 발전용 바이오중유는 원료물질에 의해 품질특성이 결정되었고, 중유와의 혼합비율이 증가할수록 유동점, 밀도, 황분 및 동점도는 감소하고 전산가, 요오드가, 산소함량은 증가하였다. 본 연구에서는 중유 대체연료로서의 발전용 바이오중유의 품질특성과 C 중유에 혼합 시, 혼합비율에 따른 물성 변화에 대해 검토하였다.

The wood pyrolysis oil (WPO), also known as the bio crude oil (BCO), have been regarded as an alternative fuel for petroleum fuels to be used in diesel engine. However, the use of BCO in a diesel engine requires modifications due to low energy density, high water contents, low acidity, and high viscosity of the BCO. One of the easiest way to adopt BCO to diesel engine without modifications is emulsification of BCO with diesel and bio diesel. In this study, a diesel engine operated with diesel, bio diesel (BD), BCO/diesel, BCO/bio diesel emulsions was experimentally investigated. Performance and gaseous & particle emission characteristics of a diesel engine fuelled by BCO emulsions were examined. Results showed that stable engine operation was possible with emulsions and engine output power was comparable to diesel and bio diesel operation. However, in case of BCO/diesel emulsion operation, THC & CO emissions were increased due to the increased ignition delay and poor spray atomization and NOx & Soot were decreased due to the water and oxygen in the fuel. Long term validation of adopting BCO in diesel engine is still needed because the oil is acid, with consequent problems of corrosion and clogging especially in the injection system.

화석연료의 고갈과 원유가격 폭등으로 인해 이를 대체할 수 있는 다양한 연료의 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 동물성 지방이나 식물성 기름의 주성분인 트리글리세라이드를 메탄올과 반응시켜 생산된 바이오디젤은 기존의 석유디젤을 대체할 수 있는 친환경적인 연료로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 유통중인 경유에 6종류의 원료별 바이오디젤을 일정 비율로 혼합한 뒤, 다양한 연료특성을 분석하였다. 바이오디젤의 농도가 높아질수록 밀도, 동점도, 인화점이 상승하였고, 저온특성은 악화되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 경유의 중요한 연료특성인 세탄가를 IQT를 이용해 측정한 결과, 바이오디젤의 혼합비율이 높아질수록, 유도세탄가가 높게 측정되었으며, 특히 팜유로부터 생산된 바이오디젤의 경우, 71.26의 높은 유도세탄가가 측정되었다.

The target of this work was the process development of demonstration plant to produce the high quality alternative fuel oil by the pyrolysis of mixed plastic waste. In the first step of research, the bench-scale units of 70 t/y and the pilot plant of 360 t/y had been developed. Main research contents in this step were the process performance test of pilot plant of 360 ton/year and the development of demonstration plant of 3,000 t/y, which was constructed at Korea R & D Company in Kimjae City. The process performance of pilot plant of 360 t/y showed about 80% yield of liquid product, which was obtained by both light gas oil(LGO) and heavy gas oil(HGO), The boiling point range distribution of LO product that was mainly consisting of olefin components in PONA group appeared at between that of commercial gasoline and kerosene. On the other hand, HO product was mainly paraffin and olefin components and also appeared at upper temperature distribution range than commercial diesel. Gas product showed a high fraction of $C_3\;and\;C_4$ product like LPG composition, but also a high fraction of $CO_2$ and CO by probably a little leak of process.

최근 지구 온난화는 세계 경제발전으로 화석연료 사용이 주범으로 인식하고 있다. 이러한 화석연료를 감소하기 위한 연구는 여러 대체에너지 산업으로 발전하고 있으며, 그 중 우리나라에서 생산할 수 있는 연료는 바이오연료이다. 바이오연료는 화석연료에 의해서 발생하는 환경오염 문제를 줄이면서 경제적인 이익을 주는 지속 가능한 연료이다. 그래서 바이오연료를 친환경에너지로 전환시키는 재생에너지 등에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 실험은 어선에서 사용했던 기관을 다시 리모델링하여 실험장치를 직접 제작 설치하였고, 여러 바이오연료를 사용하여 선박의 경제적이고 친환경적인 운항에 도움을 주고자 연구하였다. 유채유, 대두유, 폐유채유의 배기배출 물특성에 미치는 영향을 종합적으로 분석한 결과는 연료의 물리적, 화학적 성분이 비슷하여 선박용 엔진에 사용이 가능하고, 연료소비율과 NOx는 약간 증가하였으나, 매연은 많이 감소하는 경향이 확인되었다.
