  1. 1. The mechanism behind internal injector deposits

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Jenny Blomberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Biodiesel; deposit formation; engine oil; calcium sulphate; internal diesel injector deposits; Biodiesel; beläggningsbildning; motorolja; kalciumsulfat; interna dieselinjektorbeläggningar;

    Abstract : Användningen av biobränslen har ökat för att minska utsläppen från fossila bränslen. Biobränslen kan dock leda till beläggningar inuti injektorn, vilka påverkar fordonets  körbarhet. READ MORE

  3. 2. Phasing out peat from a co-fired 50 MWth circulating fluidized bed boiler : A theoretical sulfation potential study

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Axel Bergstrand; [2022]
    Keywords : Peat; corrosion; fuel mixture; CFB; circulating fluidized bed; S; alkali chlorides; Sulfur; additives; combustion; fuel design; alkali related corrosion;

    Abstract : The chemical company Perstorp AB has a 50 MWth circulating fluidized bed to supply the production plant with process steam. The fuel mixture used shows a large variation with about 20 different fuel fractions that can be divided into the categories, residue wood chips, sludge, forest fuel, animal waste, industrial residues, and peat.

  4. 3. Development and Scaling Up of Test Protocol to a Full-Scale Filter Rig to Investigate Soft Particle Filtration Efficiency in Biofuel Blends

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : Saurabh Shinkhede; [2021]
    Keywords : Heavy duty transportation; fuel filter clogging; soft particles; biofuel blends; filter test rig; Tunga transport; igensättning av bränslefilter; mjuka partiklar; biobränsleblandningar; filtertestrigg;

    Abstract : Kommersiella tunga transporter står för en stor del av utsläppen av växthusgaser. För att minska det globala fotavtrycket hos kommersiella fordon är det vanligt att använda biodrivmedel som ”drop in” bränslen. READ MORE

  5. 4. Compilation of life cycle assessments of cultivated blue mussels : recalculation of the inventory assessments

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Elisabet Runesson; [2020]
    Keywords : LCA; Blue mussels; sustainability; production;

    Abstract : With a growing world population there is an increased demand of sustainable and nutritious food. There is not much more land to farm on whether for food or for feed for livestock. Aquaculture increases more than any other production method, however there is still often a need for feed. READ MORE

  6. 5. Boric acid as a lubricating additive in fuels and in hydraulic oils

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskap

    Author : Simon Ström; [2018]
    Keywords : Boric acid; tribology; lubricant; fuel; hydraulic oil; additive;

    Abstract : Boric acid based fuel and oil additives were investigated in this study, with the aims to gain a deeper understanding of how the boric acid fuel additive behaves, to investigate the effect of low rates of fuel additive addition and tribofilm longevity, and to investigate how boric acid behaves as a hydraulic oil additive. Fuel additive experiments were performed in a reciprocating sliding rig with a cylinder on flat contact geometry with fuel additive sprayed on the contact repeatedly, whereas the hydraulic oil experiments were performed in a reciprocating sliding rig with a ball on flat contact with the oil and additive present from the start.
