Crippin, you are incorrect. BioMsar does contain HFO, it is composed of 40-50% Glycerine 40-50% HFO and around 10% water with less than 1% being additives. The benefit of BioMsar is that as time progresses the HFO side can be reduced further and further to meet tighter regulations and become greener in the process. But the addition of HFO is currently key to keeping the price lower and competitive compared to the much more expensive pure biofuels whilst still giving big environmental gains. In the future QFI is wanting to move away from HFO in its BioMsar as Glycerine production increases to satisfy the demand, making it more cost effective and green. Its called a transition fuel for a reason, its about giving companies the ability to ween themselves off oil whilst still being able to use it with minor changes to their infrastructure. It is much more cost effective than a large shock change in a 180 direction and instead allows businesses to turn that 180 in a much more manageable timeframe.
bob m1 don,t know cost of bio diesel.its a lighter more like pink than normal diesel.i assume it works like normal diesel.have not heard of tests on suitability on engines.that use normal diesel.but then again frankenstien fuel didn,t seem to need any tests or suitability what so ever.to be suitable .unlike msar which seemed to need every dot x tick certification and 100,000 thousands of hours of testing.and still does not seem suitable to use on any engine what so ever.no matter what economical benefits it imparts.or enviromental benefits it intails .the same for bio msar.no matter what the benefits of msar or bio msar the industry will not commit to it.
nej113 bio msar has nothing to do with hfo as far as i know.apart from emulsification of water content.and a few chemicals.
What is the cost of bio diesel
You can make your calculations… Biodiesel=Food… MSAR=HFO+Water, BioMSAR=HFO+Glycerin+Water…
yesterday loaded 30000ltrs bio diesel on the vessel i work on.my company has gone over to bio diesel.on standard 4 stoke engines.millions of litres per year through out fleet as qfi has tested bio msar on standard engines to exhaustion.what are the.financial and environmental benefits of bio msar over standard bio diesel.
