Use of low-corrosive fuel compositions in boilers

摘要

The use in a blue flame burner or an optimised yellow flame burner of a boiler of a fuel oil composition which comprises a base oil and one or more additives selected from antioxidants, heterogeneous nitrogen compounds and slightly hydrotreated or straight run fuel fractions, for the purpose of reducing the levels of high temperature corrosion in one or more portions of said burner. This has particular applicability where said fuel oil composition contains no more than 500ppm sulphur.
