Cavitation Technologies has announced the preliminary results of HydroFuel, the company’s new hydro-fuel technology. Cavitation Technologies has mixed water on a molecular level with diesel by using its proprietary process. The most recent development of Cavitation Technologies is the mixing of fuel and water efficiently.
The newly developed technology of mixing and processing fuel with cavitation is used to prepare fine water-in-oil emulsions, which can be used in turbine power generators, boilers and in marine diesel engines. The overall results indicate cleaner emissions, efficient burning and reduced operating costs especially for turbine power generators and marine diesels.
The preliminary results reveal that the usage of 10-20% water-in-oil emulsion reduces the emission of nitrogen oxide (NOx) by 40 percent, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide is reduced by 50 percent and fuel consumption is reduced by up to 12 percent. A recent test conducted at Cavitation Technologies testing facility proved that the company’s ISO certified independent lab Inspectorate showed 17269 BTU/lb of 10% water in #2 Diesel and 16698 BTU/lb using a 15% water blend.
In comparison with other alternative fuels such as biodiesel, this amount proves to be much higher. The reduction of NOx is substantially more in hydro-fuel than with biodiesel and this feature enables it to be a much more preferred environmental solution for fuel additives.
