Fuel oil Emulsifier
The need
to blow soot was reduced from twice a day to once a day with
a very noticeable reduction of accumulation of dirt and slag
in the fireside of the boilers.
In addition to this, our reduction in oil consumption has been a
conservative 2%. ..........

Fuel Emulsifier
Pursuant to
the installation of the fuel emulsifier on board the S/S
Brooklyn, December 1984, we have experienced the following
benefits, while operating the vessel for American Petrofina.
-
Two
(2) to four (4) percent
reduction in fuel consumption.
-
Reduced soot blowing from twice a day to once a day.
-
Twenty to thirty percent reduction in excess air.
-
No vanadium buildup on fireside.
-
Less stack emissions.
The use of
water droplets to create secondary atomization has precluded the
use of fuel additive, .......

Subj: Fuel Homogenization System
When the homogenizer was started, we
continued injecting additive. We continued to have boiler backend
fireside flue gas return passage plugging with oily soot blocking
air passage. After several months, we turned the additive
injection off and ran a trial on a clean boiler. After one month,
we shut the boiler down and went in for inspection. The fireside
passages were clean. Since that time over two years now, we have
been operating without the additive and have not had any blocking
of air passage. We have saved $312,000.00/year in fuel cost. We
save $165,000.00/year in additive cost. The system paid for
itself in six month with cost of fuel at $.56/gallon at that
time.
