Cover Story: Water contamination in marine fuels undermines combustion, accelerates corrosion, and increases pollutant emissions. Conventional drying methods are costly and may alter fuel chemistry. This study presents a novel, additive-free approach using polyacrylamide, whose polar amino groups extract and immobilize water directly from Marine Gasoil (MGO). Within one hour, moisture declines by over one-third without affecting fuel composition, with similar performance in MGO–biodiesel blends. The method improves combustion quality, reduces hydrocarbon and CO emissions, and avoids energy-intensive processing—offering a cleaner, compliant, and scalable solution. This discovery reveals a previously unexplored polymer–fuel interaction with significant potential for maritime energy innovation.
