APPLICATION OF BIODIESEL DERIVED FROM OLIVE OIL PRODUCTION WASTES AT MARINE DIESEL ENGINE AND EVALUATION OF GASSEOUS EMISSION TRENDS

ABSTRACT
As a carbon neutral fuel, biodiesel is one option in future IMO scenarios for reducing carbon intensity in shipping sector, and at same time reducing emission of pollutants. Some oily wastes, such as waste from olive oil production, might be used for production of second-generation biodiesel. The current study looks into the effect of biodiesel on the characteristics of gaseous pollutant emissions of NOx and CO from slow-speed two-stroke marine Diesel engines that do not have any after-treatment devices or engine control technology installed to reduce gaseous pollutant emissions. While the ship was berthed in the harbor, tests were performed on two separate loads at 210 rpm. The engine was powered by diesel fuel and blends of 7%, 20%, and 25% v/v of biodiesel derived from oily wastes generated during olive oil processing. For biodiesel production in lab conditions, base-catalyzed transesterification was implemented. According to the findings, there are tendencies of reduced gaseous emissions when utilizing blended fuels.
