The present invention relates to the field of
marine fuel oil, and discloses a
marine fuel oil and a preparation method thereof. The
marine fuel oil comprises 10 - 50 wt% of
base oil, 11 - 53 wt% of low-
sulfur atmospheric and vacuum residue, 9 - 30 wt% of
aromatic hydrocarbon component and 10 - 50 wt% of low-
sulfur distillate; the
base oil is selected from the atmospheric
tower bottom oil of the ebullated
bed residue hydrotreating process and / or the middle section heavy
wax oil of the vacuum
tower of the ebullated
bed residue hydrotreating process; the
aromatic hydrocarbon component is selected from at least one of catalytic
slurry oil with an end
boiling point ≤ 480 °C,
catalytic cycle oil, and catalytic diesel; the
sulfur content of the low-sulfur distillate is ≤ 0.5 wt%, and it is selected from at least one of residue plus
wax oil, straight-run
wax oil, V hydrorefined wax oil, and hydro-upgrading heavy
cracking tar. The present invention can turn the atmospheric
tower bottom oil of the ebullated
bed residue hydrotreating process and the middle section heavy wax oil of the vacuum tower of the ebullated bed residue hydrotreating process into valuable resources, and obtain a high-quality low-sulfur marine
fuel oil that can meet the requirements of the compatibility index,
sulfur content index,
viscosity index and other full performance indexes of low-sulfur marine
fuel oil, and has good application prospects.
