Water-fuel emulsions are a large number of small water droplets distributed in the oil. Media where heavy oil is dispersed is very rarely used.

In recent years, it has been suggested to use these emulsions as fuel. Such suggestions emerge due to the cost of oil-based fuels. Let us analyse the situation in the industry of making this type of fuel.

The main idea of burning water-fuel emulsions is the inability of modern nozzles to disperse fuel to size less than 100 micron. At the same time, one such droplet may contain many more micro-droplets. Entering the combustion chamber, the droplet of the emulsion explodes. This is practically secondary dispersion. Efficiency of this phenomena increases with the number of droplets of the same size in the emulsion.

That is why combustion can be intensified by homogenization of water-fuel blend. The smaller the size of water droplets in the emulsion, the lower the tendency to separate. To achieve uniform composition and the smallest possible size of water droplets, various types of equipment can be used, but most of them cannot ensure stable emulsion and the required droplet size.

In this respect, GlobeCore’s USB blending units demonstrate significant advantages. They produce highly stable finely dispersed emulsions with oil products (heavy oil, diesel fuel, heating oil etc) and water (clean water, steam, wastewater contaminated with oil etc).

Emulsification of heavy oil in the USB units allows to improve combustion and boiler efficiency due to:

Goodyear Tyre & Rubber Company announced at the 2022 Waste Expo trade show, a new formulation of its popular Endurance™ WHA waste haul tyre made with a renewable soybean oil compound. The Endurance WHA is now made with soybean oil, which replaces a portion of the petroleum-based materials used in its production. The soybean oil in the tyre is a bio-based material currently sourced from surplus leftover from food applications and is another step in Goodyear’s global journey to fully replace petroleum-derived...

Clarke Energy Demonstrates its Commitment to the Environment on Earth Day 2022

Earth Day is observed each year on 22 April to recognise support for environmental protection. Earth Day celebrations have been occurring since 1970; every year over one billion people focus on challenging environmental issues on this day. The official theme for Earth Day 2022 is “Invest in our Planet”. Clarke Energy recognises Earth Day’s importance and the need to protect the planet and reduce pollution. One of our main values is “accountability”, Clarke Energy remains accountable...

Continuous Tyre Pyrolysis Plant - A Concise Introduction

Did you ever hear of a continuous tyre pyrolysis plant? Are you currently aware about the pyrolysis technology? If you're looking at this article, then you may be aware of this technology or want to know much more about it and that is certainly how you finished up in this article. You might be with the right page as we will discuss the science behind this technology and exactly how the continuous pyrolysis plant is helping in eliminating one of the biggest pollution problems on this planet.What exactly is Pyrolysis...

Beston Rubber Pyrolysis Plant Models

A pyrolysis plant is utilized to recycle all sorts of rubber and plastic-based waste materials as well as oil sludge. Rubber pyrolysis machines are particularly popular as they possibly can turn scrap tires into profitable communities, namely carbon black, pyrolysis oil, combustible gas, and steel. Given the fact that the standard road tire may take over 50 years to decompose inside a landfill, emission-free waste rubber pyrolysis plant is on the go in the waste recycling industry.So, just how exactly does a...

Pyrolysis Plants Can Reduce Environmental Concerns Caused by Waste Tyres

Our prime consumption of vehicles for transportation requires using rubber tyres which get worn out after a time, and really need to be disposed of. Earlier these were just discarded in landfills and greatly led to environmental degradation. Technologies have found a remedy of making use of pyrolysis to process the waste tyres and convert them into useful byproducts. Get the MSW pyrolysis plant.A tyre pyrolysis plant consists of a reactor when the waste tires are gently heated by making use of fuel like coal,...
