The attention of the world is increasingly being drawn to the rising prices of fuel
and its ecological impact. The ecological effect can be seen worldwide in the form of
global warming. Boilers and furnaces in various applications has been subject of
interest and investigation for a long time. Mainly the objective is to improve the fuel
efficiency and to achieve the best cost effectiveness of the fuel. The approach of the
investigation has been in one of the two directions; namely:
- improvement in the design of boilers, furnaces and more specifically the burners.
- improvement in the fuel oil performance by changing its physico-chemical
characteristics.
Our focus has been on the second aspect, which is to change the characteristics of the
fuel oil so that its performance is improved. Thus the upgraded oil has better fuel
efficiency and also the pollution from combustion is reduced.
During firing of boilers and furnaces, the size of fuel droplets undergoing
combustion is the key. The smaller the size of droplets, the greater is the fuel
efficiency. In normal fuel combustion process, as the particle size is large, the outer
surface of the droplets get heated leading to incomplete combustion. In the case of
encapsulated fuel oil, once the outer surface is heated, the water inside the oil heats
up leading to a micro explosion. This ensures more complete combustion and steam
production increases with the increased SFR. The steam thus produced also helps
facilitate higher efficiency by using the hydrogen produced in the shift reaction. Also
the reduction in the flame temperature reduces the NOx in the resultant effluent
gases.
The Process System designed is based on inline Mixing and Emulsification principles.
An appropriate Emulsifying Agent is mixed with water separately. Water is then
introduced in the correct proportion to the Fuel Oil in a Distributor. This is further
passed vide an Emulsifying Static Mixer through a Refiner to produce fine droplets of
Water in Oil. Around these three Essential Equipment there are Tanks, High Pressure
Pumps, Piping and adequate Pressure and Temperature indicators.
Technergy ESCo Pvt. Ltd. offers this technology as a solution by:
