Fuel Emulsion- Micro Explosion
-
A water-in-fuel emulsion is a specialized mixture wherein reclaimed and filtered water, including greywater, rainwater, and other sources, are blended into fuels using an organic emulsifier. This emulsification process creates a homogeneous mixture wherein water droplets are dispersed within the fuel matrix.
-
Micro-explosion refers to a phenomenon occurring during combustion, wherein suspended emulsion particles within the fuel reach their superheated stage more rapidly than the surrounding fuel. This rapid heating causes the emulsion particles to undergo expansion and breakup, resulting in the formation of extremely fine combustion particles.
-
SJU's patent-pending process encompasses precise control over various parameters, including the emulsion composition, size of dispersed emulsion particles, and droplet size. Through an in-line system, the process maintains optimal pressure and temperature conditions to ensure the desired combustion dynamics, consequently leading to reduced fuel consumption and emissions.
-
This effect is achieved through the implementation of SJU's innovative chemical and mechanical processes, safeguarded by patents, which meticulously regulate the combustion environment to maximize efficiency and environmental performance.

Break Thermal Efficiency (BTE)
•Brake Thermal Efficiency improves due to an ignition delay when the emulsion expands and vaporizes causing the micro-explosion.
​
•Ignition delay leads to a higher heat release rate, higher fuel burning in the pre-mixed stage and better BTE.
•Increase in flame propagation speed and flame-lift-off length with emulsion fuel, promotes better mixing of air-fuel mixture and results in complete combustion.
