DEVICE FOR OIL WASTES RECYCLING
Recently energy saving and environmental safety issues have become topical with reference to fuel power generating systems operation. Water-fuel oil emulsions (WFOE), diesel fuel are of the most interest. WFOE have some advantages over the traditional fuel oil. The present paper describes a new installation designed for oil wastes processing and obtaining burning oil presenting water and diesel fuel mixture in some definite proportions. There are presented results of investigating the proposed installation operating modes as well as those of the water content in the assumed fuel. As a result of the investigation it was revealed that to reach the required degree (volume) of the water inclusion in the fuel it is necessary to use all pieces of equipment, i.e. the third loop. As it is known, water-diesel fuel mixtures a property to be exfoliated. That is why one more important task was to find out an optimum proportion of the water and oil wastes for obtaining the most stable fuel. Experiments were carried out using different water content in the mixture. As a result of the investigations it was revealed that the mixtures containing 15% to 25% of water are exfoliated most rapidly and reach stable state.
