Fuel oils water content

The vanadium content of heavy fuel oils (expressed as vanadium pentoxide) typically ranges from 50 to 1,000 ppm V205, although 50 to 300 ppm is more the norm. Sodium content typically varies from 10 to 100 ppm Na, depending on the percentage of salty water present in the oil. 

The pyrolysis oil (bio-oil) from wood is typically a liquid, almost black through dark red brown. The derrsity of the liqirid is about 1200 kg/m, which is higher than that of fuel oil and significantly higher than that of the original biomass. The bio-oils have water contents of typically 14-33 wt.%, which cannot be removed by... 

Judgment must be used in applying foams to hot oils, burning asphalts, or burning liquids, where the bulk temperature of the liquid is above the boiling point of water. Although the comparatively low water content of foams can cool such fuels at a low rate, it can also cause violent frothing and "slop over" of the contents of a tank.

For the GT/T-A system the wood material is hogged so that the maximum size is not more than about 1 in. in any dimension. Sawdust may be used directly. The relatively uniform material is conveyed to a dryer where it is dried to about 7 percent water content. The dryer is heated by a portion of the wood gas from the reactor, and should this not be sufficient, the oil produced during pyrolysis can be used as a backup fuel.
