A Practical Introduction to Biofuels
This 1-day practical Biofuels course provides an overview of the possible application and use of biofuels in the marine distillate and residual fuel oils market, such as described in the new ISO 8217:2024 standard for distillate and residual fuel oils. The course includes a theory session in the morning, followed by hands-on practical laboratory work in the afternoon.
This in-person intensive course introduces existing and future regulation impacting marine fuel oils and from this framework identifies which and how the various type of biofuels may be introduced into marine distillate and residual fuel oils.
The various types of biofuels currently available will be examined in detail, including discussions on feedstocks, production, biofuel vs. marine fuel oil specifications, blending aspects and the final marine fuel oil application.
Ton Visser
The course is taught by experienced chemist Ton Visser, who has worked extensively in the oil, gas and chemical industry since 1985 and is a recognised expert in the field of marine gas oil and bunker fuel oils, and biofuels.
The morning theoretical session will cover the following topics:
In the afternoon practical/laboratory session the participants will work in small groups in the laboratory with different marine and biofuels, and will perform:
