Abstract

A light oil component is mixed with a heavy oil component so that the kinematic viscosity is not higher than 800 centistokes, the light oil component and the heavy oil component are separated from each other after the mixed oil is transported to a power generation apparatus, and power generation is carried out by burning the light oil component by means of a gas turbine in the power generation apparatus and by burning the heavy oil component by means of a boiler in the power generation apparatus.
