Compatibility check for heavy fuel oils (HFO)

Almost all heavy fuel oil is blended at some stage. During blending or on subsequent storage, reactions can occur that result in sludge formation.

The aromaticity or solvent capacity of the fuel oil can be too low and an asphaltene precipitate will occur.

Filter blockage, reduced fuel injector performance, poor combustion, and even damage to piston rings and liners may occur.

Bunkers from different sources should be segregated whenever possible and being checked for COMPATIBILITY.
