Before combustion, mazut is heated to 120–150°C in viscous, blackened storage tanks, thinning it enough to flow through pipes. Without this, it would clog the system like cold molasses.
Workers monitor gauges obsessively; a drop in temperature risks engine seizure.
Atomized mazut sprays into the boiler furnace, mixing with compressed air. Ignition is a roaring inferno, temperatures soaring to 1,500°C.
The flames are dirty orange-yellow, choked with unburned carbon particles. Sulfur in the fuel reacts violently, producing SO₂ and SO₃—acrid gases that corrode metal and sting lungs.
Superheated steam (500–600°C, 60+ bar pressure) blasts into turbine blades, spinning them at 3,000+ RPM. The ship’s screws churn the sea, propelled by this archaic fury.
Metal groans under thermal stress; engineers listen for cracks, knowing a boiler explosion would shred the compartment.
Carbon monoxide (CO) hisses from incomplete burns, a silent threat to crew.
Particulate matter—thick soot—coats every surface, blackening filters and lungs alike.
Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) forms in exhaust stacks, eating away at pipes and raining toxicity into the ocean.
A nauseating cocktail of burnt rubber, sulfur, and diesel exhaust permeates the ship. Crewmen wear masks, but the stench lingers.
