We are pleased to invite you to attend our eighth technical meeting for the 2016-2017 season, during which Dr. Jerry Ng Kok Loon, CEO at Blue Ocean Solutions Pte Ltd, subsidiary of the Keppel group, will speak on the subject of:

Experiences in the Advanced Application of Emulsified Fuel Technology

The practical advanced application of emulsified fuel technology that helps ship owners to technically meet the following challenges and reduce the CAPEX and OPEX will be discussed: 0.5\% sulphur fuel regulation; NOx Tier III regulation; Impending PM and soot regulation; MRV regulation; Carbon trading implementation; and reduced maintenance.

It has been well established that burning of emulsified fuel has several main benefits, including improved fuel efficiency; reduced NOx emission and cleaner engines; and cleaner exhaust.

The traditional mechanical governor has been upgraded to electronic control in the new generation of engines. Real time performance measurement and monitoring of combustion are a common feature today as well as auto-tuning to optimize the performance of engines. Emulsified fuel technology has kept pace with new engine technologies to deliver better performances. This presentation will discuss new results from case studies in the applications of emulsified fuel (for diesel fuels from MGO to HFO). 

Date and location for our meeting are:

After the meeting hors d’oeuvres, wine, soft drinks, etc. will be served.

Participation is FREE for members and students and 10 euros for non-members, which will be paid at the entrance prior to the start of the meeting.

We look forward to seeing you on April 6!

Very truly yours,

for the SNAME Greek Section
