Diesel Fuel or commonly called
Solar, there are hydrocarbon parameter contents where each parameter has an
impact on the use and residue of its combustion.
Just mention a few parameters such
as: density, cetane number, flash point and others. In this article, will
specify the information about Sulphur Content.
Diesel Oil Fuel is one of the
products produced from the refining process of crude oil. Sulphur is an element
that is contained naturally, in Diesel Fuel the element of sulphur is removed
through a de-sulfurization process during the refining process.
The sulphur content is one of the
global concerns and especially the Indonesian government,
High sulphur content has a
negative impact on the environment and health due to exhaust gas emissions.
Exhaust gas emissions are the
residual results of combustion of fuel in the internal combustion engine,
external combustion engine, and jet engine that are removed through the engine
exhaust system. The remainder of the combustion is in the form of water (H2O),
CO gas or also known as toxic carbon monoxide, CO2 or also called carbon
dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas, NOx nitrogen oxide compounds, HC in the
form of charcoal hydrate compounds because of imperfect combustion processes
and loose particles.
Negative impacts on health include
triggers of hypertension, causes of eye irritation, decreased brain
intelligence, disrupting children's mental development, reducing male
reproductive function. As for the environment, one of the impacts is the
greenhouse effect.
Not only for the environment and
health, but high sulphur levels also affect the engine, such as: engine wear,
deposit formation, and vehicles operating with high sulphur producing dioxide
and particulate compounds, also reduces the catalytic life of the converter.
In accordance with SK Dirjen Migas No. 28.K / 10 / DJM.T / 2016 concerning Standards and Quality (Specifications) for Diesel Fuel Type 48, the sulphur content is at the maximum limit of 2500ppm.
