WATER-OIL AND WATER-COAL DUST ARTIFICIAL FUELS: ITS ENERGETIC, ECONOMIC AND ECOLOGICAL BENEFITS

To stabilize the burning of heavy oils and coals with high content of water and reduce the pollution from the combustion installations, the fine emulsions of water in heavy oil and the fine suspensions of coal dust in water are prepared. Thus, from natural fuels with high water content are obtained artificial liquid fuels with water in excess, which improves some economic, energetic and ecological indicators of burning process. In principle, these fuels can be adapted for the utilization in the energetic installations off marine ships.
This paper presents the economic, energetic and ecological indicators of combustion of water-oil emulsions and water-coal dust suspensions on a test installation.
