The present-day situation in civil aviation is discussed. Taking into account limitation of crude oil resources for jet fuel production and worsening of ecological situation, tendency to transition to alternative fuels is presented. Perspectives of Ukraine and Poland in production and application of alternative jet fuels are figured out. The main a...

... A number of authors believe that biomass provides energy about 15% of consumers in the world at present. About a quarter of biomass energy is from industrialized countries, and the remaining 75% is from developing countries [1]. Obviously, bioenergy cannot completely replace fossil fuels. ...
... -ensuring minimum deviations of parameters characterizing the conditions of the experiments (humidity, pressure and temperature in the pyrolysis installations); -ensuring the adequacy of reproduction of the characteristics of the samples from study to study. According to results of analysis of research works [1][2][3][4][5][6] it is possible to make a reasonable conclusion that in terms of output of pyrolysis gas the main input parameter is composition of wood biomass. The purpose of the purpose in the planned experiments was to select composition of the final gaseous products. ...
Energy values of gaseous pyrolysis products of typical forest and aquatic plant biomass of Europe are investigated. Theoretical research of main characteristics of samples of typical plant biomass of Europe such as pine, thorn, microcystis, elodea is produced. Methodology and planning of experimental studies of process of pyrolysis of plant biomass are formulated. Experimental researches of composition of gas pyrolysis products of different types of plant biomass for different temperatures were carried according to laboratory conditions. Pyrolysis of plant biomass was carried out using a specially designed and manufactured pyrolysis plant the main part of which is a pyrolysis reactor. Installation made by our department is intended for slow pyrolysis. In research for determine presence and percentage of product yield qualitative and quantitative gas chromatography assays were used. The lower calorific value of gaseous pyrolysis products of samples of typical forest and aquatic plant biomass of Ukraine are calculated. As a result of calculations it was determined that during pyrolysis of aquatic plants and algae mixture of the obtained gases had the highest values of lower calorific value: 17,10-17,15 MJ/kg – for microcystis and 16,45-16,50 MJ/kg – for elodea. Gas obtained from pyrolysis of pine wood had the highest values of lower calorific value in the range of 13,8 to 13,85 MJ/kg. The lower calorific value of pyrogas obtained from thorn samples ranged from 12,6 MJ/kg to12,65 MJ/kg.
The study is devoted to developing of alternative jet fuel by means of blending conventional jet fuel with plant-derived bio-additives and studying properties of new alternative jet fuels. The review and systematization of the variety and classification of jet fuels used all over the world was done. The technologies of jet fuels production from various non-renewable energy sources are discussed. Factors, which stipulate development and implementation of alternative jet fuels were shown: limitation of crude-oil deposits, decreasing of its energy efficiency, global warming that is intensified by processes of extraction, processing and use of fuels and exhaust gases that negatively affect atmosphere. Perspective technologies and feedstock for alternative jet fuels production were analyzed, as well as advantages and disadvantages of each of them. Fundamentals of jet engine operation and exploitation are considered within this study. It was discussed how jet fuels quality and composition may affect the life span, reliability and durability of jet engines. The method for bio-additives production from rapeseed oil and camelina oil fatty acids esters was developed. High quality bio-additives based on FAME and FAEE of rapeseed and camelina oil were used for blending with conventional jet fuels. In the result of experimental studies the comparative characteristics of physical-chemical and exploitation properties of new alternative jet was developed. The properties of new jet fuels were considered for satisfying requirements of standards for fuels of grade Jet A-1. It was shown that maximal content of bio-additives in blended jet fuels is 30 %. In the result of bench tests it was concluded that operational parameters of the jet engine powered with new blended jet fuels completely satisfy exploitation norms, which are set in specification for tested jet engine, may be used as a working body of the jet engine and do not require its design changes. In the result of emissions evaluation it was concluded that blending conventional jet fuels with bio-additives allows improving its environmental properties: decreasing amounts of CO2, H2O, SO2 and NOx emissions in jet engine exhaust gases. The results of the study will contribute to reducing the energy dependence of air transport, improve its environmental friendliness and will promote improvement of the sustainability and safety of modern civil aviation.
