1-day course Fuel oil blending

Participants involved in blending residual fuel oil

This course is specifically intended for staff who are involved in blending residual fuel oil products and marine fuel oils, as well as the purchase, quality control, storage and transshipment and sale of fuel oils. Initially, this course is intended as a follow-up to the 4-day (or 2-day online) Oil Products course, but people who have sufficient background in this course can also participate, for example gained through work experience.

Fuel oil blending components and the blending process

The blending and blending process of (marine) fuel oil is very important from various points of view, but mainly because of economic and environmental aspects. Recently, the changes in emissions from MARPOL and the EU are known data for blenders of distillate and residual fuel oil marine products. This means that there is a shift towards optimal and economical blending, with the sulphur content as a fact.

Knowledge and understanding of the components of the residual fuel oil

Gaining knowledge and insight into the components of the residual fuel oil and the associated blending aspects are discussed from a technical and economic perspective. With the knowledge and insights obtained, the participant can make the right decisions regarding the selection of components and respond to 'quality give-aways', which in turn can help to save costs.

Course content

The online course programme covers the following topics:

• Overview of the production of fuel oil components and their chemical background
• Naming the components for residual fuel oil blending and their properties
• Residual fuel oil for (marine) diesel engines
• Composition of residual fuel oil and the selection of blending components
• Interpretation of and discussion of fuel oil specifications (ISO, CIMAC)
• Fuel oil blend calculations
• Fuel oil blending installations, storage of fuel oil
• Fuel oil additives and additivation

The participant will receive the PowerPoint slides with notes (as PDF) and a copy of the Oiltraining Blending model in advance, and a Certificate afterwards as a PDF. The course book (65 pages) can also be ordered at an additional fee.
