ABOUT FUEL CONDITIONING
Enermulsion is an inline fuel conditioning system based on ultrasound technology that processes fuels and water, producing engine load optimized water in fuel emulsions, therefore increasing fuel efficiency and reducing engine emissions and maintenance.
To address the urgent issues of escalating fuel prices and stricter emission restrictions, TecnoVeritas developed Enermulsion, an innovative solution designed to reduce exhaust emissions (NOx, SOx, CO2, VOCs, PM) while being able to reduce fuel consumption.
REDUCE COSTS + MAKE YOUR POWER PLANT GREENER
The installation of Enermulsion requires no modifications to the engines and no interruptions to the engine operation, as it is an automated inline system, also no additional tanks are required.
It is easy to install and operate. As described on the scheme, it requires minor intervention on the existing fuel system, and its operation is fully controlled by its Electronic Control.

EMULSION FUEL
An Emulsified Fuel in simple terms means a mixture of water in fuel oil in such a way that small particles (around 6 µm) of water are formed in the fuel oil to produce a stable water-in-fuel emulsion. The main purpose of doping fuel oil with small quantities of water (up to 30%) is to improve combustion efficiency and thus thermal efficiency, resulting in better specific fuel consumption.
NOx EMISSIONS REDUCTION PRINCIPLE
NOx formation depends highly on combustion temperature. Temperature reduction in the combustion chamber is achieved with the addition of extremely small water droplets coated with fuel oil (homogeneous water in fuel emulsion). By changing the percentage of water in the emulsion, the temperature inside the combustion chamber can be controlled to inhibit NOx formation and hence fuel economy.
- Saves fuel by achieving better specific fuel consumption;
- Cleaner combustion eliminates soot deposition and reduces combustion and exhaust system maintenance costs;
- Avoid excessive port fees, fines and time by complying with emission regulations without the need for costly emissions control equipment.
FUEL SAVINGS
NOx REDUCTION
(depending on the fuel type used and the engine operation)
Fuel Savings
By using a fuel emulsification system, fuel consumption can be reduced up to 7%.
Inline system, no storage tk’s required
The installation of Enermulsion requires no modifications to the engines and no interruptions to the engine operation, as it is an automated in-line system, also no additional tanks are required.
NOx & PM Reduction
It is known that NOx and Particulate Matter has a tremendous impact on the environment and on human health, especially Particulate Matter that causes lung cancer. With Enermulsion NOx reduction can be achieved up to 30% and PM up to 80%.
Cleaner Engine
With a stable rate of fuel cracking and water molecule thermionic decomposition, resulting in a molecular rearrangement, the result is an improved fuel combustion. The water decomposition rate is continuously optimised to the engine load by Enermulsion’s control system.
CASE STUDY
MAKE FUEL SAVING NUMBERS TO SPEAK
1 | A POWER STATION
In an Indian power station with 18 Diesel Engines Wartsila 18V46, an Enermulsion unit was installed, to save fuel and reduce emissions.
2 | THE ENGINES
The engines constant load was 15.143 MW and the fuel consumption was 200 g/kWh. These engines were operated 7500 h/year, fuel consumption reduction was 4%.
3 | FUEL CONSUMPTION
Their fuel consumption (per engine) was 3028,6 kg/h, consuming 408 861 t/year. After installing Enermulsion their consumption was reduced by 16 355 t/year.
4 | THE RESULTS
In terms of finances, it resulted in savings of 6.86 million dollars. Also, the environment has benefited, receiving less 51 682 tCO2/year.
