- Abstract
The KL Sultan Hasanuddin training ship utilizes biodiesel (B30) for its main engine and generator to support energy sustainability. Effective fuel management is critical on board to maintain fuel quality and quantity. This involves careful procedures for loading, storage, and purification. In this study, three fuel samples (A, B, and C) were analyzed in a certified laboratory using ASTM standards. Generally, fuel quality in these samples was within normal limits or below maximum thresholds. However, sample A (from the supplier) differed significantly from samples B and C, notably with a high water content of 239 mg/kg. Additionally, samples B and C showed a reduction in FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) content, suggesting sediment buildup, possibly within the fuel tank. This finding indicates the need for attention to sediment control, which can impact fuel performance and longevity, requiring specific maintenance measures for the tank to prevent contamination and maintain optimal engine function.
