MEASUREMENTS OF EXHAUST EMISSIONS AND ELECTRIC POWER IN A STATIONARY ENGINE USING BLENDS OF DIESEL AND AN ALTERNATIVE FUEL
Abstract
The present work describes an experimental investigation concerning the exhaust emissions and the electric energy generation using blends of diesel and an alternative fuel obtained through the Low Temperature Conversion process applied to petrochemical residue. The alternative fuel (LTCF) was obtained in a Pilot Unit. The exhaust emissions (CO, CO<sub>2</sub>, O<sub>2</sub>, NO, NO<sub>x</sub> and SO<sub>2</sub>) were, also, studied. The results show that the use of diesel-LTCF blends in stationary engine is an alternative for the sustainable development. The mixture 10%vol. of LTCF and 90%vol. of diesel is the best one concerning the exhaust emissions.
