IGNITE OIL
Ignite Oil is a type of fuel oil derived from the processing of waste plastics and tires through pyrolysis. Here’s a detailed description:
Production Process:
Ignite Oil is produced through the pyrolysis process, where waste plastics and tires are heated in the absence of oxygen to break down the
polymers into various products, including oil, gas, and carbon black.
Properties:
Ignite Oil has the following characteristics:
1. Density: 0.85-0.95 g/cm³
2. Viscosity: 2-5 cSt (centistokes)
3. Flash Point: 60-80°C
4. Sulfur Content: 0.5-1.5%
5. Ash Content: 0.1-0.5%
6. Calorific Value: 42-45 MJ/kg
7. Color: Dark brown to black
Composition:
Ignite Oil typically consists of:
1. Aromatic Hydrocarbons: 40-60%
2. Aliphatic Hydrocarbons: 20-40%
3. Naphthenic Hydrocarbons: 10-20%
4. Asphaltene: 5-10%
Uses:
Ignite Oil can be used as:
1. Industrial Fuel: Power generation, cement production, and industrial boilers
2. Marine Fuel: Bunker fuel for ships
3. Diesel Fuel: Blended with diesel to improve performance
4. Lubricant: Base oil for lubricant production
5. Refinery Feedstock: Further processed to produce petroleum products
Benefits:
1. Waste Management: Reduces waste plastic and tire disposal issues
2. Renewable Energy: Alternative fuel source
3. Economic Benefits: Creates jobs and stimulates local economies
4. Environmental Benefits: Decreases greenhouse gas emissions and mitigates pollution
Challenges:
1. Quality Variability: Depends on feedstock and production process
2. Contamination: Presence of impurities and pollutants
3. Regulatory Framework: Lack of standardized regulations
4. Market Acceptance: Limited awareness and acceptance
Specifications:
Ignite Oil meets the following specifications:
1. ASTM D975 (Diesel Fuel)
2. ISO 8217 (Marine Fuel)
3. EN 590 (Diesel Fuel)
Safety and Handling:
Ignite Oil requires proper handling and storage to ensure safety:
1. Store in well-ventilated areas
2. Keep away from heat sources and open flames
3. Use personal protective equipment when handling
