 WHY DO WE

NEED

EMULSIFIED FUELS ?.
1.FOSSIL FUELS ARE DEPLETING WITH COMPULSIONS
TO LOOK FOR ALTERNATE ENERGY SOURCES.

2.STEEP INCREASE IN THE PRICE OF CRUDE OIL.

3.POLLUTION AND GLOBAL WARMING NECESSIATES

LESS POLLUTING OR POLLUTION FREE FUELS.

4.ALL STRAIGHT VEGETABLE SEED BASED BIO-FUELS

EXCEPT JATROPHA GROWN IN FORESTS AND ALGAE
REQUIREING LESS LAND AND LESS WATER EATS
AWAY LAND FOR FOOD CROPS CREATING FOOD
SHORTAGE AND SPIRALLING FOOD PRICES AS
WITNESSED NOW IN SOME OF THE COUNTRIES.

5.EMULSIFIED FUELS MAKES AVAILABLE THE ENERGY

CONTAINED IN THE WATER MOLECULES AT LESS
INPUT ENERGY AND AT LESS COST.
6. Emulsified fuels help bio-fuels to be a cheap green fuel.

7. Bio-fuels always contain water and separation of water

increase processing costs and require additional energy input.

8. When bio-fuels are emulsified,water need not be separated.

9. Bio-fuels are known to increase NOx emissions though

capable of reducing the soot/particulate emissions that they
are only blended at the moment with petroleum fuels in
volumes ranging from 5 % to maximum 20 %.

10.Use of emulsified bio-fuels and petro fuels in proper ratio

will greatly reduce both NOx emission and soot/particulate
emission along with reduced energy costs.
What is an “EMULSIFIED FUEL “ ?.

An EMULSIFIED FUEL is a mixture of water and fuel in

which small droplets of water are encapsulated by the fuel.
How much water can be mixed with fuel ?.

An amount of water equal to 20-25% of the fuel oil can be used

without any alterations or modifications.

An emulsion with more than 25% can be produced for certain

applications but the injection pump components need
modifications.

When water is used as a co-fuel for any combustion in an

external combustion equipment such as a boiler,furnace,gas
turbine,process heating ,room heating or in an internal
combustion engines such as a diesel engine used in mobility
of water equal to 20-25 % of the fuel oil may be
Vehicles in automotive, marine, earth moving,mining and
stationary engines used in power generation,industrial
applications where HEAT OUTPUT FROM FUEL and
THERMAL EFFICIENCY ,POWER OUTPUT cannot be
compromised, the OPTIMUM AMOUNT OF WATER IN FUEL
is limited to 20% to 25 % as established by TEST RESULTS
below. This confirms that 20-25% water in fuel emulsion can
be used in many applications without alteration/modification.
 How do you measure in the HYDRODRIVE EMLSIFIER UNIT
the water content of the fuel oil system ?.

This is done by measuring the volume of water and the volume of

fuel in two separate containers and then mixing them together
and the whole process controlled by a Programmable Logic
Control unit for automatic operation in small and medium
systems or through flow metering devices controlled by PLC
in large volume systems such as a power plant.

How is the water in oil emulsion produced in HYDRODRIVE'S

HYDROBURN TECHNOLOGY and what is the equipment used?

Usually additives are used to prevent the liquid droplets from

coalescing.

We use electrostatics, because of the well known remarkable

properties of water. Preferential ion uptake leads to a tunable
droplet and surprisingly, additive-free, water-in-oil emulsions.
charge
The immiscible water phase acts as an ‘‘ion sink’’for the charged
species in the oily solvent.

Ions from the oil strongly partition into the higher dielectric
constant water phase.

Ion drainage and self-charging through preferential partitioning

are intrinsic properties of oil–water mixtures.

Electric field-drives particle adsorption.

Confocal microscopy movie (~4 times real time) showing
a water droplet on the sample cell wall, which is subjected
to an electric field . The field drives the positively charged

colloidal particles from the bulk suspension, through the

depleted zone, toward the oil-water interface. The immobile

particles in the background are stuck to the glass.

Particle transport conduit.

Confocal microscopy movie (~2 times real time) showing how

particles,sitting at the interface between oil and a "line" of water,

are transported along the surface.

 INDIAN ECONOMY
CAN
BENEFIT
FROM
EMULSIFIED FUELS .
HOW USE OF EMULSIFIED FUELS WILL BENEFIT THE
NATION AND THE ECONOMY ?.

CRUDE PRICE INCREASES TO USD 118 A BARREL !.

INDIA IMPORTS 38 % MORE CRUDE OIL IN 11 MONTHS
OF FY 2007-08
India's crude oil import bill has jumped by over 38 per cent
to US$ 61.16 billion in the first 11 months of the 2007-08 fiscal
on the back of a surge in global oil prices.
India imported 111.089 million tons of crude oil in
April-February 07-08 for Rs 243,205.5 crore
HOW MUCH IS THE INCREASE ?.
US$61.165 billion as opposed to 101.213 million tons crude
imported a year ago for Rs 200,321 crore or US$44.124 billion.

These are the latest data available from the Petroleum Ministry.
HOW MUCH CAN INDIA SAVE WITH
EMULSIFIED FUELS ?
Emulsified fuels can be used with middle and
heavy distillates, which account for over 70 % of
crude import.
In terms of present crude import, we can save 20
million tons of crude worth Rs.48,640 crores or
US $10,713 billion at present price level !.
WILL THE EMULSIFIED FUELS TRANSFORM THE
INDIAN ECONOMY ?.
Yes. Rs.48,640 Crores saving can be invested into ALGAE
FARMS and JATROPHA cultivation in the forests lands
to FURTHER CUT DOWN THE CRUDE IMPORTS
and for upgrading the farmer's life and the uplift of
the RURAL ECONOMY.
BIO-FUELS esterification plants and emulsified fuel retrofits
will trigger industrial boom and employment potential all over
the country.
INDIA NEED TO MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION NOW !.
