Production of low-viscosity marine fuels with improved environmental and low-temperature properties
Main ways have been considered to improve the technology of production of low-viscosity marine fuels toward more efficient use of fuel and energy resources-in the context of an acute shortage of oil and unification and reduction of the range of ship's fuels-and to organize the production of modern types of marine diesel fuel through advanced technologies that ensure quality enhancement and improvement in the environmental and low-temperature properties by both engineering means and use of high-performance pour-point depressants.
