Original Abstract

The article presents results of research on the use of fuel mixtures, containing with biodiesel fuel. The research was carried out on specialized sea vessels with a deadweight of 10,820 tons and 29,420 tons, which made passages in the waters of South America and the Caribbean, as well as in the Sulphur Emission Control Areas of Northern Europe. The operation of the ship's power plants (main and auxiliary engines) was provided both on marine fuel of petroleum origin and on a fuel mixture that consisted of petroleum fuel and biodiesel fuel. The experiments were carried out on marine medium-speed diesel engines 5DC-17A Daihatsu Diesel, 16V32 Wärtsilä-Sulzer and Volvo Penta TWD1645GE. Various kinds of marine fuels and as biodiesel fuel Fatty Acid Methyl Esters B99.9 FAME and B99.6 FAME were used. The concentration of biodiesel fuel in the fuel mixture was 5–20 %. The environmental friendliness of the work of sea vessels was assessed by the value of the emission of nitrogen oxides, sulphur, and carbon. As a result of the research, a variant of adjusting the sea crossing was proposed to ensure the continuous operation of the ship's power plant using biodiesel fuel.
