Product Expectations

Pre, during and post combustion expectations

Practical expectations and understanding the effects of using ultrasonically emulsified and stabilized fuel oil in burners.

Pre-Combustion Expectations

High quality, stable, homogeneous emulsion
Fine, evenly-spaced water droplets in the emulsion
Less sludge in storage tanks
Clean fuel oil pipe, pump systems
Ability to use lower-grade heavy fuel oil
Reduced Asphaltenes, reduced viscosity, increased Calorimetric Value
Reduced engine maintenance

Expectations During Combustion

Longer spray penetration, wider spray angle, micro-explosions
Finer atomization and better spray droplet size distribution
Brighter flame, wider flame, flame base lifted from spray nozzle
Reduced combustion temperature, Good temperature distribution
Improved heat transfer, Improved combustion, More complete burn of fuel
Better thermal efficiency, less demand for excess air, reduced fuel costs

Expectations Post Combustion

Less fireside and high and low temperature corrosion
Improved fireside cleanliness
Lower exit gas temperature
Improved characteristics of exhaust gas
Less soot
Less high and low temperature deposits
Less fouling
Reduced frequency of boiler washing
Less SOx and less NOx
Increased boiler availability

Benefits

Understand the benefits of ultrasonically emulsified and stabilized fuel oil

The proprietary ultrasonic technology used in conjunction with Berol® 6446 HFO Emulsion Stabilizer plays a vital part in the process of substantially reducing toxic emissions and saving your business money through increased fuel efficiency and lower engine, burner and heat exchanger maintenance costs.

Ordinarily, heavy fuel oil (HFO) has to be heated to temperatures between 100c and 120c before it takes on liquid form, for use in the burners or in static generator engines, which not only costs a staggering amount of money, but also sees a loss of up to one fifth of the users’ HFO in the fuel-heating process. The savings on toxic waste emissions from the reduction of heating the HFO will be significant on a global scale.

SciMed/SulNOx/Hielscher trials and tests on The Berol® 6446 HFO Emulsifier showed that the product only needs to be heated to between 70-90c ( a reduction of 30 to 40c), meaning around 30% less fuel is needed for the heating process, which means less HFO is used or needed. Burning less fuel reduces toxic emissions and the Berol® 6446 HFO Emulsifier will naturally be 30-40% less polluting than any standard grade of HFO.

For around 100 years, companies have tried and failed to successfully create a stable ‘water-in-fuel’ emulsion. The Hielscher report shows, beyond doubt, that Berol® 6446 HFO Emulsion Stabilizer enables a remarkable, stable emulsion with up to 30% water added and as little as 1% Berol® 6446 HFO Emulsion Stabilizer (a stability that has shown a shelf-life in excess of 5 + years).

The SGS Certificate tells us that using Berol® 6446 HFO Emulsion Stabilizer in HFO 380 fuel reduces smoke and soot (particulate matter), NOx gases and sulphur emissions and that the strong acid value in the ash is zero. Choosing to use any of the SulNOx products will dramatically reduce ‘net emissions’, which is a huge step forward in the fight against global warming.
