Abstract

Abstract
The Rijeka Oil Refinery steam generators use heavy fuel oil of uneven quality and are operating constantly throughout the year with a variable load.
The problems occurring during operation are caused by the deposition of uncombusted particles and heavy metals, soot, high temperature and low temperature corrosion. All this shortens continuous operation due to cleaning or repair, impairs heat transfer, capacity and efficiency, and increases fuel consumption, which leads to economic losses and increased environmental emission.
Attempts are being made to avoid or lessen the above problems by applying additives for improving fuel oil combustion.

Keywords
