System and method for creating and maintaining liquid bunker and reducing sulfur contaminants

A method for reducing sulfur contaminants in bunker oil comprising:

• passing bunker oil over a core that ionizes the bunker oil with an electrostatic charge;
• wherein the core consists of a metal bar being made of an alloy comprising, by weight, 40-70% copper, 10-32% nickel, 15-40% zinc, 2-20% tin and 0.05-10% silver;
• wherein the metal bar of the core comprises a plurality of cuts having a concave shape and arranged diagonally along an entire surface of an upper and a lower face of the metal bar of the core to create grooves, which allows the bunker oil to be agitated as it comes in contact with the core, activating the electrostatic charge;
• wherein the core is within a casing having an inlet and an outlet at its ends for receiving and discharging the bunker oil to be treated;
• and
• wherein the bunker oil has reduced sulfur contaminants.

A method for maintaining bunker oil in a liquid state comprising:

• passing bunker oil over a core that ionizes the bunker oil with an electrostatic charge;
• wherein the core consists of a metal bar being made of an alloy comprising, by weight, 40-70% copper, 10-32% nickel, 15-40% zinc, 2-20% tin and 0.05-10% silver;
• wherein the metal bar of the core comprises a plurality of cuts having a concave shape and arranged diagonally along an entire surface of an upper and a lower face of the metal bar of the core to create grooves, which allows the bunker oil to be agitated as it comes in contact with the core, activating the electrostatic charge;
• wherein the core is within a casing having an inlet and an outlet at its ends for receiving and discharging the bunker oil to be treated;
• and
• wherein the bunker oil is maintained in a liquid state.
