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.
