This dual fuel homogenization system is singular in design, custom manufactured and scalable to a client's application.


This is indicative of water droplet sizes controlled at 4 to 7 microns when injecting 7% boiler blow down water into #6 fuel.
Homogenization System
This unique fuel homogenization system (as shown in the top left photo) is skid mounted and easily inserted into the facility's system after the pressure regulating valve and before the fuel heater. No boiler or burner modifications are required. The companion water system is skid mounted and can be mounted anywhere. The homogenized oil/water fuel will not separate or agglomerate when created by these cavitational processes.

This system will automatically start when pressure in low pressure homogenization chambers is increased to 45 psig when the system is placed in service. The sytem will adjust all predetermined pressures, control desired amount of water injection, control droplet size with complete dispersion. Pressure devices are provided to sound an alarm and signal DCS to switch from homogenized fuel to regular fuel to provide sufficient combustion air in the unlikely event of a system failure.

The homogenization process uses a patented cavitation process to create small droplets of water that are 4 to 7 microns in diameter and disperse them evenly in the fuel (as shown in the lower photo). The laws of physics tell us that the surface tension of the droplet is relative to the diameter of the droplet. The smaller the diameter the greater is the internal pressure needed to explode the droplet.

When we get down to 4 to 7 microns this pressure is enormous. When the necessary heat is reached in the burn, the micro droplet violently explodes and scatters the fuel as atomized droplets.

From a chemical standpoint we know that the burn is dependant upon a fuel molecule and an oxygen molecule colliding. The micro-explosion greatly increases the probability of those collisions occurring. The higher probability results in a lower need for air to support the burn.

When the homogenized fuel is used in the system this phenomenon of micro-explosions pays dividends in every area of energy generation, energy transfer and the reduction of emissions.
