OFF ROAD AND MARINE DIESEL FROM LIGHT GAS OIL,VACUM GAS OIL AND KEROSENE BLEND

Vacuum gas oil (VGO) produced by Benghazi Asphalt Factory and light gas oil (LGO) used in north Benghazi power plant were mixed in different volume ratio to produce a fuel blend. Kerosene was added in a small different volume ratio to reduce viscosity and improve cold flow LGO/VGO fuel blend property.
LGO/VGO fuel blend pour point, flash point, volatility, copper corrosion properties, heat of combustion, water content, ignition quality and ash content are within the range of diesel fuel and light gas oil specifications.
Viscosity and sulfur content of fuels A and C are within the range of diesel fuel classified A2 and marine diesel specifications whilst, carbon residue is slightly higher than that of diesel fuel classified A2 and No. 2-D specifications.
