Abstract:
The study was done to determine using crude oil as fuel for Al Fula
thermal power station (3*135MW).
The evaluation is based on the environmental impact for crude oil as fuel
for power stations and compare with two types of fuels.
The sample has been taken for crude oil fuel who to field treatments to
be made and determine the properties.
After reconstruction and rehabilitation of the test rig, the following types
of fuels (crude oil, HFO, HCGO) were tested through the combustion test and
thus the analysis of combustion gases to determine the impact on pollution of
the environment includes human, and the results are in the range permitted by
the World Bank.
After combustion from different fuels it was:
1- There is no significant difference in pollutant emissions from the
combustion of crude oil, HFO and HCGO fuel.
2- HFO more difficult to handle compared with crude oil due to its high
viscosity.
3- During the tests found that more species HFO considerable need to
heating before combustion and the temperature of the heater between
(140 -150 OC), either crude oil requires to heating between (90 -100 OC),
either HCGO requires to heating between (40 -50 OC)
