Water and Oil Suspension

Pentomuls:

Due to increased usage of low quality fuel oil with high sulphur, asphaltene and vanadium content, power stations all over the world face both environmental and technical problems.
The incomplete combustion of the fuel oil as well as the vanadium and sulphur content cause deposits and corrosions in all parts of the boiler and excessive emissions of solids (particulates) and sulphur trioxide

PentoMuls® allows the on-line production of a stable water-in-oil emulsion. Firing an emulsion has a great impact on the boiler:

Due to the secondary atomization, the fuel oil burns a great deal faster and much more completely. The result is a compact, short flame with a good temperature distribution, therefore much less nitrogen oxide (NOx) and sulphur trioxide (SO3) is generated.

Without water-in-oil emulsion, atomization is insufficient.
The combustion time is too short to burn the oil completely, resulting in unburned carbon leaving the combustion chamber.

With PentoMuls® the secondary atomization cracks down fuel oil particles and allows a complete carbon burn-out within shorter time and a shorter flame.

The technology

PentoMuls® is a well balanced blend of surfactants, dispersants and catalysts.
The surfactants allow the creation of a stable, highquality water-in-oil emulsion with water particle sizes in the range of 4 to 6 μm.

Deagglomeration asphaltenes in the emulsion reduces the demand for excess air during combustion and, therefore, results in a corresponding reduction of NOx and SO3 emissions.

To achieve the best possible combustion with heavy fuel oil, water droplets with a size of 4 to 6 μm have to be thoroughly mixed with the oil. If the size of the water droplets is too small, the energy set free during combustion is too small to atomize the fuel oil. On the other hand, water droplets with particle size of more than 10 μm will atomize too slowly which will result in an unbalanced flame.
