EMULSION POWER S.r.l . is a forward looking energy company concerned with optimal use of fuels in order to benefit the environment and reduce economic cost while adhering to legislative regulations.

EMULSION POWER

Emulsion Power S.r.l. is a company operating in the energy industry, providing emulsified fuel technology, able to supply both stabilised emulsions (‘stable’ emulsions) for distribution and ‘on-demand’ emulsions, which are made and consumed soon after with no appreciable storage time. With the know how and the trade secrets of the Emulsion Power group we have achieved a high performance union of chemical additives and advanced mixing systems. This synergy allows to insert different amounts of water in the classical energetic substances (stable emulsion with diesel, on demand emulsion with: HFO, DIESEL, VEG OIL), allowing significant environmental and economic benefits.

EMULSION POWER & ACL Research and Development

Emulsion Power has personally developed and tested the key points necessary to provide a competitive product on the market:

- Specific Additives (ACL Series): The connection between molecules of fuel and water must be as strong and durable as possible. Only after long studies is possible to get to the good balance for each fuel in different operating conditions.

- Software: The brain of the plant, with operative parameters and the correct timing of the mixing phases have been developed in order to optimize the production cycle.

- High shear mixers: The device in which effectively happens the union between water and fuel, have been studied to get to the smallest dimensions of the emulsion droplets (less than 1 micron), managing the production flow rate.

- Plant Layout: Emulsion Power has developed the layout of the entire plant, in order to have a compact and efficient production site.

The Emulsion Power/ACL team has a great experience in the petrochemical , chemical and engineering sectors with regards to the emulsions. This experience, collected since 1999 has led to the creation of Emulsion Power S.r.l. that has successfully tested and developed the technology, entering into the market in 2012 as an expert and reliable partner.

W/O EMULSION CATEGORIES

Emulsion Power provides blenders and additives to produce W/O emulsions:

• STABLE EMULSION:

– Diesel emulsion:

• Automotive

• Trains

• Machines

• Boilers

• Ships

• ON-DEMAND EMULSION:

– Diesel, HFO or Vegetable oil:

• Boilers

• Power generators

• Ship engines


10

• The product “emulsion” ON DEMAND consists in mixing the component of water with the desired fuel immediately prior to combustion by using very little % of dedicated ACL additive series (between 0,1% to 1,2%).

• With this method the emulsified product is not stable for a long time, but increases the % of H20 that can be added in the product (more than 25% of H20) , using less additive so that costs and emissions are drastically reduced.

• We can declare that it can be considered a real method to reduce harmful emissions leading to a drastic reduction of management and fuel costs, differently from common filtration systems.


11

On-Demand Emulsion Blenders: ON-DEMAND BOX Series

The ON-DEMAND BOX blender is installed between the fuel tank and the engine/boiler served with fuel. The device must be powered by deionised water in the % desired; Emulsion Power produces various models of ON-DEMAND BOX according to the needs of the user.

On-Demand Emulsion Blenders: ON-DEMAND BOX D/H/VEGREEN

Stable Emulsion

• The water/diesel emulsion is an ecological fuel, a reliable alternative to power diesel engines and boilers. The emulsion is produced with EN590 and deionised water, combined together with the modern blending systems by Emulsion Power and using the ACD additive Series.

• The recent interest in emulsions, as an alternative fuel to diesel fuel, is derived from the potential capacity of water, known already from the beginning of 900, to reduce harmful emissions, such as nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, in the exhaust gas, when is injected into the engine together with fuel (with a separate injection of liquid water or steam, or, better, as a stabilized emulsion).

28

Additives ACL Series

EMULSION POWER: Additives ACL for emulsions, Typical Characteristics

Emulsions: dispersions of two immiscible liquids

Stable Emulsion: a dispersion of small (micrometer dimension) of water droplets in diesel stabilised by interfacial surfactants


29

Surfactants: dipolar molecules able to diminsh the surface tension of the two liquids and to stabilise the interface.

Polar Head affinity for water H2O

Hydrophobic Tail insoluble in H2O

Characteristics shared by all Emulsion Power W/O emulsions and additives

Mixing + ACL Additive


30

The energy provided by the mechanical mixing is necessary have the dispersion of the two phases but in case no surfactant is present, they return to the original state.

The presence of the surfactant, that is assures the system stability.

Mixing

Diesel

Water

The hydrophobic tails of the surfactant fans out into the diesel phase. They create a repulsive barrier preventing other stabilised droplets from getting close to each other (no coalescence), allowing them to keep their extremely fine dimensions.



31

The nature of these surfactants is also the reason for the secondary detergencyfunction of these additives.

The molecules of the surfactant used are closely related to those of the additives present in engine oils and in fuels for the purpose of cleaning engine parts and are oil soluble (W/O emulsion).

The polar heads are attracted to the debris while the tail portion make the dispesion oil soluble.

Debris surrounded

by surfactants

Once the critic concentration has been reached, the surfactant molecules lift the debris particles so that they can be entrained by the flow and transported away.



32

The presence of the water droplets in the fuel modifies the injection process by improving the atomisation of the fuel thus enhancing the air-fuel mixing.

The phenomenon of micro explosions refers to the rapid vapourisation and expansion of the water droplets which is the reason for the improvement of the air-fuel mixture.


The surfactants molecules within the emulsion can provide a protection against the corrosion of metal surfaces of the storage and engine feeding systems. Moreover they can enhance the lubricant capability of the emulsion itself.
