Groundbreaking advancements in fuel emulsification of Heavy Fuel
Oils (HFO) by SciMed(TM)
(Aquis Stock Exchange: SNOX)
21 April 2020
SulNOx Group Plc ("SulNOx" or the "Company"), the hydrocarbon
fuel emulsification specialist, announces the publication of
research by SciMed(TM), a leading supplier of scientific
instrumentation in cooperation with SulNOx. SciMed(TM) is a
long-term collaborator of the Company in developing its product
applications.
The report ( available at www.sulnoxgroup.com/products/ )
describes the outcome of laboratory testing using SulNOx's Heavy
Fuel Oil ("HFO") emulsification product, and Hielscher Ultrasound
Technologies' blending technology alongside SciMed's analytical
equipment and expertise.
Dr Dan Clarke of SciMed(TM) has shown that emulsified HFO,
blended by Hielscher's equipment, using 80% HFO, 18% water and 2%
SulNOx HFO emulsifier, burns far more cleanly than untreated HFO.
The report shows demonstrably improved combustion performance with
notable reductions in toxic emissions and particulate matter.
These findings should be of interest to significant users of HFO
such as commercial ship operators and coal-fired power stations.
HFO consumption accounts for approximately 9% of global hydrocarbon
use but its harmful emissions are a significantly higher
percentage.
Below we summarise the findings/highlights of this report.
-- The use of water ensures a more complete combustion,
dramatically reducing soot and smoke and therefore Particulate
Matter production (In a high oxygen environment - almost to
nothing).
-- Emulsification of HFO prior to combustion can turn it into a
cleaner burning fuel with dramatically reduced residues. More
efficient combustion leads to more energy being liberated from the
same mass of HFO. The combination of these factors offers economic
benefits to users.
-- The report outlines the efficiency and cost effectiveness at
laboratory level which is a significant further endorsement of
SulNOx's patented product.
The report identifies potential cost savings that high-volume
HFO users might be able to achieve
1. Significant reduction of particulate matter production
potentially leading to reduced engine down time and fewer services
and engine overhauls.
2. Reduction in Total Mass of HFO being consumed due to:
a. lower viscosity therefore, a reduction in the need to pre-heat the HFO in order to pump it
b. a more efficient combustion leading to lower consumption
3. Diminish or remove the need to install emissions scrubbing equipment.
4. Working towards a solution for world emissions regulations
such as IMO 2020 and improved environmental profile. In previous
independent test results, the Company can evidence reductions in
SO2 and NOx output, a key part of IMO 2020.
This report supports SulNOx's business plan as it markets to
global HFO users.
