The fuel oil sludge
recovery agent belod
R , is composed of a mixture of:
a) Dispersants,
which cause the uniform separation of
the existing particles of asphalts, coals and other solids which the heavy
fuel oil contains, and which form the sludge.
b) Corrosion
inhibitors, which
protect the metal parts of the fuel circuits.
c) Detergents, which reduce the formation of carbonous deposits and flow loss in the injectors when
the sludge is mixed with fuel oil, and maintain an excellent pulverisation.
d)
Surfactants, which reduce the surface tension of the
fuel and achieve better pulverisation (a fundamental factor to achieve
good combustion).
e) De-emulsioners, which facilitates the de-emulsification
of the water, which
can be easily separated before mixing with the normal fuel.
f) Solvents, which work as an exicipient to the active agents, in addition to
facilitating the solution of the sludge with the heavy fuel oil.
With the adequate
addition of the recovery agent “rb bertomeu” belod R, a
situation is achieved where the fuel sludge oil can be mixed with the normal
heavy fuel oil and used, in reasonable proportions, as fuel. The addition, as
well as the recovery procedure, must be studied in each case
, depending on the state and consistency of the sludge and the normal
fuel oil consumption in the installation where the recovery of the sludge is
desired.
