Fuel Oil Compatibility Probed
A severe case of incompatibility occurred when three residual fuel oils were shipped as a blend. The oils were blended as they were being loaded. During transport, a tar-like precipitant formed, settled to the bottom and partially solidified. These fuel oils were analyzed in an attempt to predict future potential incompatibility problems and to investigate the known case of incompatibility. Hydrocarbon Processing September 1983: 101-103.
