A large number of companies world-wide have to rely on captive Power generation where they use Heavy Fuel Oil Engines. This segment is mostly dominated by two players, Wartsila and MAN, and incidentally both the companies had been extremely pro-active in adopting and endorsing Emulsified Fuels, starting with the erstwhile Orimulsion. Usage of Emulsified Heavy Fuel Oil in such HFO engines, whether for power generation or marine application not only results in better fuel economy, combustion and lower emission but also cuts down on centrifuging losses and extends engine life by providing lean burn conditions, but with no increase in temperature.

Single Solution : Emulsified H.F.O.
• HFO Emulsion is a stable blend of immiscible liquids like F.O. & Water.
• It is purified F.O. dispersed with micron sized water droplets.
• Emulsified HFO offers enhanced & complete combustion.
• It provides better economy, less smoke and lower pollutant levels.
• Used in Steam Boilers, IC Engines, Gas Turbines world-wide.
• Made from normal FO as supplied by companies like IOCL & Reliance.

5. R.A.D.E 2015 | www.rade.co.in
How it Works
• A High Shear & Cavitation process disperses 2-5 micron sized water droplets in
HFO forming an Emulsion.
• Once injected into the Combustion Chamber, water in fuel flashes to steam.
• This rapid expansion explodes the fuel droplet, producing a Nano fuel mist.
• This process is commonly referred to as Secondary Atomization.
• This enhances fuel-air mixing, thereby causing complete combustion.
• Reduces carbon formation and soot accumulation.
• Water both reduces HC content in Fuel as well as reduces Peak Temperature.
• Free carbon strips hydrogen from steam, forming a highly combustible SynGas.

6. R.A.D.E 2015 | www.rade.co.in
Cetane & Kilocalories
• Theoretically the water content in Fuel reduces the Cetane number slightly.
• However Cetane calculations are not even applicable for Residual Fuels.
• Theoretically the GCV of Emulsions is also lower due to the water content.
• Likewise Bomb Calorimeters cannot be used for measuring Fuel emulsions.
• However the NCV of the Emulsions can be measured in actual use.
• Reduction of Cetane no., & Calories is compensated by enhanced combustion.

Benefits: IC (HFO) Engines
• It can be used in most H.F.O., engines without any modifications.
• Emulsified Fuels gets complete combusted: Fuel Economy.
• Increased Combustion Pressure due to Steam from Secondary Atomization.
• No Coke buildup on Injector Nozzles : Longer Service Interval.
• Low Carbon and Soot deposits on Pistons: Reduced Maintenance.
• Increased intervals for Turbo-Charger cleaning.
• Peak Temperature Reduction: Longer Engine Life.
• Very Clean Emissions.

9. R.A.D.E 2015 | www.rade.co.in
Improved Specific Fuel Oil Consumption.
• Improved SFOC in medium load conditions.
• Water-in-fuel increases the amount of entrained air per mass of fuel.
• Lean Burn conditions, but without overheating due to lower peak temperatures.
• Secondary Atomization provides better mixing and complete combustion.
• Water evaporation and expansion contributes to Combustion Pressure.

10. R.A.D.E 2015 | www.rade.co.in
Ecological Benefits
• Emulsified F.O. combustion uses almost 20% less Oxygen.
• Emulsified F.O. generates 10-30% less waste-heat.
• Emulsified F.O. Combustion released at least 30% less NOx .
• Particulate Matter(PM) reduction by 30-50%.
• Drastic reduction of CO, CO2 & even SOx(with special additives).
• No disposal of Sludge & BSW from tanks.

11. R.A.D.E 2015 | www.rade.co.in
No Filtration & Centrifuging Losses
• Emulsified F.O. is filtered via 80 mesh filters.
• It is completely Homogenized.
• Contains no Free Water.
• Contains no Sludge.
• Minimal Centrifuging Losses.
• Reduced Maintenance.
