Marine low-viscosity fuel is traditionally used in marine diesel engines, which can be both high- and medium-speed, as well as in the operation of so-called gas turbine plants. During its manufacture, light gas oils are added to diesel fractions. This substance has a lower cetane number than diesel fuel. In addition, it contains more sulfur.
Until the beginning of the 20th century, coal remained the only marine fuel. However, the oil industry continued to develop, and very soon the real era of liquid fuels began. It was he who began to be most often used on ships. The functions of raw materials for it are performed by shale, oil or coal.
Liquid fuels have combustible properties due to certain hydrocarbon compounds.
From the point of view of purification, it is customary to separate heavy and distillate, or low-viscosity marine fuel. The latter can be obtained by processing solar oils. However, it can be used without any preparation in an additional order. The cost of heavy marine fuel is usually lower than the price of low viscosity fuel. At the same time, it cannot be used without special training.
To improve the characteristics of marine fuels, it is possible to add certain additives to reduce the amount of carbon deposits formed, as well as increase the level of combustion efficiency.
In 1988, low-viscosity marine fuel began to be supplied to the fleet. As a result of development oil industry they quite successfully managed to replace such types of fuel as gas turbine and diesel.
To produce low-viscosity fuel, it is necessary to combine diesel fractions with distillates from secondary processes. Unlike diesel fuel, CMT can contain up to 1.5 percent sulfur. Its viscosity index can be twice that of diesel fuel.
As a rule, marine low-viscosity fuel is used in the operation of river or sea vessels that run on diesel engines. The production of SMT has the right to be engaged exclusively in agreed specifications enterprises. In addition, the name of the manufacturer must be without fail contained in a special directory.
As for the supply of such fuel, they are produced mainly by moving special tank cars.
When talking about different types fuel, they always imply a long engine life, economical consumption of combustible liquid in diesel engines.
Specialists in the field of diesel operation are always interested in the efficiency of the engine, not to the detriment of power and the impact on the technical condition of the power unit. So they are looking for an alternative to more expensive fuels. Let's try to find an acceptable replacement by looking at marine low-viscosity fuel (MLF).
Medium and high revving engines are considered quite expensive to operate. In this regard, companies are looking for opportunities to use cheap diesel fuel. SMT is also being considered as an option.

Diesel fuel
Diesel fuel, which is used on ships and high-speed engines, also has a classification: summer, winter and arctic. This is required by the GOST rules.
The same standard specifies the characteristics of the fuel used:
Viscosity (it is measured at +20°C). Parameters of winter fuel 1.8-5 cSt, summer - 3-6 cSt;
Flash point of winter diesel fuel +40°C, summer - +62°C;
Flammability is based on the cetane number. For standard diesel engines, it is defined as L-45;
Component. This parameter indicates the presence and percentage of sulfur compounds in the fuel. Environmental requirements in European countries limit their amount to a limit of 0.001%.
Low viscosity fuel for marine engines
It is made from petroleum by distillation and the addition of gas oil. This is required by GOST 305-82. This type of solar is used in gas turbines, as well as in medium and high-revving diesel engines.
Main characteristics:
Viscosity (measured at +20°C) 3 to 6 cSt;
Flash point +60°C;
Cetane number within L-40 - L-45;
Component content (presence of sulfur) 0.5 – 1.5 /
Is it possible to change the usual diesel fuel to SMT?
When comparing the characteristics of the presented types of fuel, you can immediately notice that SMT has more sulfur, and the cetane number is slightly lower.
If this indicator of fuel is greater than the calculated one, it mixes worse with air and does not burn completely. And this increases the cost. With a slight deviation from the passport requirements for fuel this effect not noticeable.
If there is little sulfur in diesel fuel, then its lubricating characteristics deteriorate. In this case, additional additives are used.
It is necessary to pay attention to the cost of each type of fuel. SMT is made easier and there are fewer requirements for it, which is why it is cheaper. And such fuel is used not only on ships, saving money. And a low percentage of sulfur is compensated by additives.

The issues of the admissibility of using different fuel options are of high practical importance for the economical and durable operation of diesel engines of ships and other Vehicle. , which is used for medium and high-revving power plants, differs high cost Therefore, many companies are interested in the possibility of using cheaper fuel materials, in particular, marine low-viscosity fuel. In order to get a solution to this problem, it is necessary to consider the main performance characteristics of materials, namely, density, viscosity, component composition and flash point.
Diesel fuel
Diesel fuel used for high-speed diesel engines and marine equipment is one of the fractions of direct distillation of oil. Its characteristics are determined by the interstate GOST 305-201 (valid from 01/01/2015). Depending on the pour point, winter, summer and arctic types of diesel are distinguished. Characteristics:
Viscosity (determined for a temperature of 20°C). Winter diesel: 1.8 to 5 cSt, summer fuel: 3 to 6 cSt.
Flammability. This parameter for diesel fuel materials is characterized by a cetane number, which for a standard diesel engine is defined as L-45.
The flash point of summer diesel is 62°C and winter diesel is 40°C.
Component. The main attention in the production of diesel is given to the content of sulfur, or rather sulfur compounds. In connection with environmental requirements, European standards imply a sulfur content in diesel fuel of no more than 0.001%. 
Marine low-viscosity fuel is obtained from diesel oil fractions by adding gas oils of secondary distillation processes in accordance with GOST 305-82. SMT is used in medium and high speed power plants and gas turbine units.
Characteristics
- Viscosity (determined for a temperature of 20°C) 3-6 cSt.
- Flammability: cetane number from L-40 to L-45.
- Flash point: 60°C.
- Component content: sulfur content from 0.5% (GOST 305-82) to 1.5% (according to TU38.101567-2000).
Is it possible to replace a diesel engine with marine low-viscosity fuel?
Comparing the characteristics and low-viscosity marine fuel, it can be noted that the main difference between CMT is a high percentage of sulfur and a slightly lower cetane number. How do these parameters affect the operation of power units?A higher cetane number in a diesel engine results in rapid combustion of the fuel, which prevents it from fully mixing with air. As a result, we get a lower efficiency of the power unit. Since the difference in the cetane number of CMT and diesel fuel is not very large, this effect is hardly noticeable.
Much more important is the percentage of sulfur. The low content of this element in diesel fuel, which is determined by international standards, leads to a decrease in lubricity. Therefore, for diesel fuel with a minimum sulfur content, the use of modern lubricating additives is recommended.
Of particular importance for the economy is the price of a particular type of fuel. Since the production process of CMT is simpler (one of the reasons is less stringent requirements), its cost is much lower than that of a diesel engine. Affordable price contributes to the increasing use of CMT in various industries. The only disadvantage of this type of fuel for diesel engines is the high sulfur content, which entails a low environmental friendliness of the exhaust.
When the era of sailing ships became history, mankind thought about fuel. And until the end of the 19th century, coal was used in this capacity. But as time went on, technology developed. Today diesel engines large and small vessels are powered by a refined oil product - liquid light and heavy marine fuel. They differ from each other in the degree of purification of the feedstock.
Heavy oil (naval fuel oil or bunker fuel) has a high viscosity and a cheaper price, but requires additional investments during operation (for preparation for use and Maintenance mechanisms).
Light (or distillate, which is sometimes called naval diesel fuel) includes marine low-viscosity fuel (SMT). This is exactly what the MOSTRANSNEFT Fuel Company offers to consumers at the most reasonable price in the region. It is used for stable operation of river and river boats installed on ships, boats and yachts. navy internal combustion engines operating at high and medium speeds.
SMT is obtained by mixing distillates of diesel fractions with light gas oils. Unlike marine fuel oil, it does not imply any preparation before operation (for example, a low viscosity - 6 mm2 / s - allows it to be fed into marine engines without preheating).
Marine low-viscosity fuel is produced according to TU 38.101567-87, it is characterized by a cetane number of at least 40 units, a flash point of 62 degrees Celsius (and solidification - minus 10 degrees). The mass fraction of sulfur should not exceed 1.5 percent, and water, water-soluble acids and alkalis should be completely absent.
By the way, it is by the presence of sulfur in the composition that CMT is divided into three types. The first one admits it mass fraction no more than 0.5 percent, the second - 1, and the third - just the one and a half percent that were mentioned earlier.
It remains to be added that, according to the degree of danger, this oil refining product (according to GOST 12.1.007) is classified only as Class 4 (this means that CMT does not pose such a great danger). However, there are increased requirements for its manufacturers. Only those enterprises that have agreed on technical conditions and are included in a specialized catalog have the right to produce it. However, MOSTRANSNEFT Fuel Company always purchases products only from trusted, proven suppliers on the market. In this case, this is TANECO JSC, operating in Neftekamsk and part of the TATNEFT group of companies, as well as Mari Oil Refinery LLC - one of largest enterprises oil and gas complex of the Republic of Mari El. Both of them are equipped with the latest technology and sell products to partners only High Quality. And we, purchasing SMT from them directly without intermediaries, in turn, have the opportunity to offer it to our customers at the lowest price in the region. At the same time, offering a free delivery service to those who opt for a volume exceeding 1000 liters of fuel, and wholesale buyers - a lower price.
