Additions of Enzymes Accelerant in Fishing-Boat Fuels of Diesel Engine Exhaust Emissions Experiment

Abstract

The exhaust from diesel engines consists of a large quantity of toxic substances, including NOx,CO2, CO, SOx, particulate matter (PM), and HC compounds from incomplete combustion. In this study, enzyme fuel additive was added to Class A fishing vessel fuel in different proportions in an experiment to measure the changes in the content of air pollutants emitted from the combustion of fuel in a single-cylinder diesel engine power generator. The specimen used in this study was a Class A fishing vessel fuel under the national policy of subsidizing fishermen in fuel consumption blended with enzyme fuel additive. In this experiment, a Class A fishing vessel fuel was used as the controlled specimen to compare three different types of diesel additive available from the market and the fuels blended with enzyme. A diesel engine power generator was used in the experiment to observe the emission of gas pollutants from the engine operated with different formulas of fuels under the same loading conditions. A gas pollutant analyzer was used to observe the content of gas pollutants and their influence on air pollution.
