Product fuels distribution

These ideas form the basis of most approaches to NO control with N-containing fuels. In principal, they are readily appHcable to the modification of certain combustors in which the desired divisions in the combustion process exist for other reasons. Although such improvements have been demonstrated, it is difficult in practice to make the required revisions in the air and fuel distribution without adverse effects on other emissions or on performance. It has also been shown that when steam is used to reduce thermal NO production, the formation of NO from fuel N is enhanced, or the reduction is less than otherwise expected. 

However, there are several issues with widespread methanol usage. Methanol production from natural gas is relatively inefficient ( 67%), and this largely offsets the vehicular improvement in efficiency and carbon dioxide reduction (since gasoline can be made with "85% efficiency from oil). Additionally, the PEM fuel cell demands very pure methanol, which is difficult to deliver using existing oil pipelines and may require a new fuel distribution infrastructure.

Oil companies are not willing to invest in production and distribution facilities for hydrogen fueling until there are enough hydrogen cars on the road. Automakers will not produce large numbers of hydrogen cars until drivers have somewhere to fill them up. 

The use of hydrogen as fuel input in passenger transport demands a hydrogen production and distribution technology. The model therefore features a separate... 

When the supply to the electricity and transportation sectors is jointly taken into consideration, one is led to conclude that the energy supply diversity is best served by allowing green electricity to maximally penetrate the electricity sector and simultaneously swing the deployment of NG and coal to instead serve the transportation sector. (Note that there may well be synergies between hydrogen fuel production and clean power production. These will be briefly touched upon in Section 15.6 for coal below.) The extent to which one thereby accommodates the objective of C02 emissions reduction depends on the mode of hydrogen production and distribution, and the extent to which it enables carbon capture and sequestration. To a discussion thereof we now turn. 

Sea water and corrosion products were delivered with premium gasoline by barge to the fuel distribution terminal storage tanks. The water settled to the bottom of the terminal tank and was drawn off with fuel and delivered to service station tanks. Customers fueling at these service stations pumped premium gasoline containing sea water and corrosion products into their automobiles. 

This ASTM method can be used to quickly determine the visual clarity of distillate fuel. A similar method, the Colonial Pipeline Haze Rating, has been used for many years by the finished product pipeline and fuel distribution industry to rate fuel clarity. A clarity rating of 2 or better when compared to the standard haze rating photo is considered a passing value throughout the fuel industry. 

Caustic-resistant corrosion inhibitors have been developed to help overcome this neutralization concern. However, these products must often be used at higher concentrations than carboxylic acid based inhibitors. Also, some caustic-resistant inhibitors tend to emulsify with water later in the fuel distribution channel. 

Positive displacement pumps can be built to run on 440-V three-phase service, 220-V service or 110-V single-phase service. The site of electrical service may be restricted in some fuel production and distribution areas. Often, explosion proof enclosures and associated equipment must be used when locating equipment in a hazardous area. If explosion-proof equipment is required, the cost of the equipment will increase significantly. 

Application of microbiological technology to the simple sugars converts them into chemicals and fuels, which can be further transformed and formulated into such products as liquid motor fuels, plastic containers, and tires. These end-use products, when distributed, constitute the supply that consumers use to satisfy demands. Thus the cycle is complete.
