Review
The author takes the reader through the complete process of burning fuel on board, from storage of fuel to dealing with the exhaust, before looking at the different types of diesel engine and their specific fuel requirements. He also looks at gas turbines, fuel cells and developments in shore power, and covers boilers, fuel and accommodation heating and incinerators, before also looking at waste heat recovery systems. Fuel types and bunker quality standards are included, as are blending, storage and on board fuel treatment, where the work of separators, purifiers, clarifiers, decanters, homogenisers, filters and other engine room kit is explained. Fuel heating, pumps, fuel measurement and storage are amply covered as are an engine's sensitivity to fuel qualities. The book also looks at emissions and how they might be controlled and also at unconventional fuels such as biodiesel, shale oil, liquefied and compressed natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas and even coal. tankeroperator on 11/11/2013 'This highly illustrated book 'is a chance to look underneath the hood and, perhaps for the first time, to recognise what makes this equipment work and why some fuel problems are more significant than others' offshoresource.com on 11/11/2013
