HYDROBURN FUEL MEANS:

HYDROBURN FUEL means MOLECULAR ENGINEERED EMULSIFIED WATER FUELS using a technology patented in Great Britain, India and rights protected in the USA, CANADA, JAPAN, CHINA, PHILIPPINES and in several countries involving " A PROCESS AND SYNTHESIZER FOR MOLECULAR ENGINEERING OF MATERIALS (Great Britain Patent No. GB 2397782,India Patent No.200286).

WHAT HYDROBURN TECHNOLOGY DO?:

HYDROBURN technology makes use of the patented process and the synthesizer to synthesis the fuel or fuels upon excitation by waves resulting in plasma catalysis yielding fuel or fuels with changed physical or chemical properties when the excitation is carried out with or without the presence of another material or materials and the excited species or the synthesized product also influence chemical reactions, combustion kinetics change, heat engine cycle performance.

The fuel or fuels with changed physical and chemical properties change the KINETICS OF COMBUSTION to result in lower emissions including NOx reduction, improved engine or turbine performance and fuel savings possible through change of fuel injection parameters at economical cost when compared to several other technologies.

HYDROBURN technology facilitates use of WATER AS A CO-FUEL for energy needs without any damage or adverse effects on the combustion systems while greatly reducing the difficult to reduce NOx emission at much economical cost.

HYDROBURN technology makes use of WATER AS A LIQUID fuel for combustion with HYDROCARBON and also EXCITED STEAM with HYDROCARBON for combustion enhancement.

HYDROBURN technology reduces NOx and other emissions in the turbines, engines and combustion systems by mixing EXCITED STEAM with EXCITED NATURAL GAS OR FUELS prior to combustion along with performance enhancements through changed combustion kinetics.

Homogeneous mixing of steam and fuel or fuels with water enables highest jet momentum by higher volume flow which enhances.

1.The diffusion rate of oxygen.

2.Shrinks the flame surface envelope.

3.Reduces or prevents N2 penetration into the flame structure.

4.Reduces the residence time of N2 and O2 in the hot zone of  flame.

5.Reduces hot zone temperature.

WHAT MAKES HYDROBURN FUEL TECHNOLOGY EXCEL?:

As against conventional reduction of surface tension and adsorption of molecules limiting the blending of different types of fuels with water and the blending difficult,the MOLECULAR ENGINEERED EMULSIFICATION by the patented Hydrodrive's EXCITATION PROCESS and the SYNTHESIZER makes HYDROPHILIC ADHESIONS due to changed VAN DER WALLS forces due to COLD PLASMA CATALYSIS facilitating mixing of several blends easy ensuring stability of the fuel for a longer time.

HYDROBURN FUEL TECHNOLOGY OFFERS ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY BENEFITS :

IN BOILERS, FURNACES AND EXTERNAL COMBUSTION SYSTEMS:

HYDRODRIVE'S HYDROBURN emulsified water fuels produce secondary atomization which require a reduction in the air required for combustion because of more thorough mixing of the fragmented fuel droplets and combustion air. Reduced excess air reduces the conversion of fuel sulfur to SO3.

Reduction in SO3 conversion also reduces low temperature corrosion and inhibits the formation of acid mist. Furthermore, decreased excess air inhibits the oxidation of vanadium pentoxide, which reduces corrosion, and the deposition of vanadium complexes on the fireside of the boiler. Flame length and lower excess air should be the key contributor leading to lower fireside fouling.

SCIENCE BEHIND THE HYDROBURN FUEL AND THE FLAMES:

Ultrafast Vibrational Energy Transfer Between Surface And Bulk Water At The Air-Water Interface Burn Water As A Fuel With Hydrocarbon:

In the HYDROBURN technology, the WATER and the HYDROCARBON are synthesized into an EMULSIFIED FUEL using the internationally patented " PROCESS AND SYNTHESIZER FOR MOLECULAR ENGINEERING OF MATERIALS" and the Ultrafast Vibrational Energy Transfer between Surface and Bulk Water at the Air-Water Interface is used to burn Water as a Fuel with the Hydrocarbon.

Interfacial water plays an important role in many biological, chemical, and physical processes.

Because of the experimental difficulties in investigating liquid interfaces in general, and the most prevalent water-air interface, in particular, knowledge of the structural and dynamical interface properties has not yet reached the same degree of sophistication that has been attained for bulk water.

The Second Harmonic Generation and Sum Frequency Generation (SFG) by the patented Hydrodrive Synthesizer during the molecular engineering process are generally surface specific and these waves have been known to be selectively sensitive to the outermost few layers of water molecules. SFG is particularly powerful as it allows the vibrations of surface water, which are known to be sensitive reporters of the hydrogen-bonding water environment. Indeed, the application of SFG at the water-air interface has revealed important new insights in the water interfacial structure and orientation. It has been shown, for instance, that a significant fraction of surface water molecules (20 %) have a free O-H group sticking into the vapor. These ‘‘free,’’ non hydrogen bonded O-H groups are characterized by a relatively high vibrational frequency of the O-H stretch. For the H-bonded interfacial water molecules, the spectrum is broad and , a situation reminiscent of the vibrational spectrum of bulk water.

In bulk water, water vibrational dynamics are affected by confinement and/or the binding to molecules that mimic a biological environment.

Ultrafast techniques are applied to Hydroburn water fuel at the hydrophilic and hydrophobic water interface in contact with the silica surface which mirror the air/water interface. The femtosecond vibrational SFG, which relies on the coherent interaction of infrared (IR) and visible (VIS) fields at the surface, to produce a field with a frequency that is the sum of the two incident fields is used. This surface-specific process is resonantly enhanced by surface vibrations. A third femtosecond pulse generated by the Hydrodrive Synthesizer due to emission radiation allows the vibrational excitation of the water molecules to be sustained changing the original SFG intensity. The SFG waves reflects the vibrational relaxation of the interfacial water molecules. The femtosecond time SFG allows the O-H stretch vibrations of the water molecules thus molecular engineering the structure and dynamics of water at the near water-air interface which enable very fast energy transfer between the isotropic bulk molecules and the surface molecules. A large reservoir of isotropic excitations are present right below the surface, which exchanges rapidly with excitations at the surface when a flame is initiated and the flame continue to burn with micro-explosions of the water molecules as shown in the photographs below.

Under the flame temperature, a water molecule decomposes first into H and OH upon adsorbing on the silica surfaces. The OH radical can hop between neighboring adatom sites. It can further decompose into an H atom and an O atom, resulting in complete dissociation of a water molecule.

(a) The OH radical further dissociates into an O atom, which  appears bright at the upper-right hand corner of the enclosed half-cell, and an H atom adsorbed at a rest atom site near that corner. The rest-atom site appears dark and the Si adatoms neighboring the H atom appear brighter than normal.

(b) The O and H atoms can combine again to form an OH radical

or

(c) dissociate again .

(d) After the H atom hops right to a faulted half (indicated also with a white arrow), only the O induced bright species is left in the original half-cell. At this point, the water molecule decomposes completely into two H atoms and one O atom and all these species are mobile on the surface. For the atomic models illustrated in the inset, the O induced adatom site is indicated with a dashed circle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OIL WATER COMBUSTION IS NOW A REALITY FOR FUTURE ECONOMICAL  ENERGY USE AND FOSSIL FUEL CONSERVATION:

BURNING NOW AN OPTION TO CLEAN UP OCEAN OIL SPILLS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT INCOMBUSTIBLE

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2001/06/010615071546.htm

ScienceDaily (Jun. 18, 2001) — University Park, Pa. --- Penn State researchers have shown in laboratory experiments that some open water oil spills previously thought to be incombustible potentially can be cleaned up via burning, the most efficient, rapid and environmentally friendly option.

Dr. Anil K. Kulkarni, professor of mechanical engineering, says, "Oil spill combustion can be a highly effective clean up measure for contained spills occurring on open water bodies, such as an oil spill on the ocean contained by booms or a spill surrounded by ice. When feasible, it is an inexpensive technique that can have a very high efficiency of removal, possibly greater than 99 percent. The burning is very rapid and any resulting ecological damage is less severe compared to conventional oil removal methods."

However, the window of opportunity for using burning is often limited by wave and wind conditions and by the proximity of the spill to populated areas. In addition, over time, oil spilled at sea becomes mixed with water forming an emulsion that is difficult or impossible to ignite.

Now, Penn State researchers have widened the applicability of burning by showing that diesel fuel emulsions up to 80 percent water and crude oil emulsions up to 35 percent water can be ignited. In laboratory experiments, they demonstrated that positioning an external radiant heat source near the spill facilitates ignition. In addition, they have developed simple charts for use as a quick reference to determine the minimum external heat source needed to facilitate burning.

Kulkarni points out, however, that an open water demonstration still needs to be done to show proof of concept.

The Penn State researcher detailed the findings at the Arctic and Marine Oil Spill Program meeting in Calgary, Canada, June 14 in a paper, "Combustion of Mixtures of Weathered Alaskan Crude Oils and Water under External Heat Flux." His co-author is A. .Y. Walavalkar, who recently earned his doctorate at Penn State; part of the work was the subject of Walavalkar's doctoral dissertation.

In the Penn State laboratory experiments, two electrically operated heating panels were used to supply an external radiant heat source. The panels were positioned over a pool of water about ten inches deep. The researchers poured oil and water emulsions to a desired thickness on the water and then applied the external heat source at a predetermined level.

After the surface temperature reached a certain preset value, an attempt was made to ignite the emulsion. Upon failure to cause ignition, the heat flux level of the panels was increased by a small amount. The process was repeated until sustained combustion was achieved and the minimum critical heat flux needed to ignite the sample was determined.

Kulkarni says that, in actual open water conditions, an external heat flux could come from an adjacent deliberately set fire. "A small fire will not produce sufficient heat flux, but if the fire's size is sufficiently large, it will provide the needed minimum heat flux for the surrounding emulsion to ignite and burn. As the emulsion ignites, the fire's size will grow, providing an even larger heat flux to the yet-unburned emulsion, causing it to ignite in a chain reaction that will continue until all of the emulsion is burned. In this way, a spill previously considered incombustible can be removed," he explains.

In subsequent experiments, the Penn State researchers found that he could correlate oils and emulsions with the same density with the radiant heat needed to facilitate their ignition. He says, "Using density measurements of a specific spill will make it easier for people who are managing the clean up to decide what to do. Rather than try to decide whether to attempt burning the spill based on the type of oil it is, for example Alaskan North Slope, Milne Point crude, or diesel, they can measure the spill's density and then consult the charts we've developed to determine how large a heat flux would be needed."

The research was supported by a grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Above NEWS is cited only to highlight the RESEARCH DONE to prove that OIL-WATER can be efficiently burned. 

However HYDRODRIVE do not recommend OIL WATER spill burning for the simple reasons that:

1.The heat of burning will kill the OCEAN  

    SPECIES and FISHES nearby.

2. Energy of oil is wasted and not used.

HYDRODRIVE recommend RECOLLECTION of the SPILL OIL/CRUDE in a NEW OCEAN GOING VESSEL and making use of it as an EMULSIFIED FUEL for efficient burning in industrial applications.

Abstract:

The method of low NOx Combustion by Mixing Water was developed in order to reduce NOx emission and smoke in incinerators and oil-fired boilers with oil-pressure atomizing burners. This technique brought a simpler, smaller, more economical and more practical system than known emulsion-fuel combustion method. The principle of this technique is based on making combustion after mixing liquid fuel with water  The application of this technique for oil-fired boilers is expected to be popularized in near future, as a way of environmental protection in big cities.
