The new generation of Orimulsion{reg_sign} has been tested since September 1998 and was released to the market on January 1999 by PDVSA-Bitor. Main results from plants will be treated in detail within this paper. Boiler performance has been considerably improved by fuel switching. Operation changes could be summarized as follows: (1) Better furnace wall heat absorption; (2) Lower backend temperature; and (3) Lower sootblowing frequency. In Fuel Oil designed units, the new Orimulsion{reg_sign} firing current performance is similar to Fuel Oil, which indicates a similarity in combustion characteristics between these two fuels. This permits the switching to Orimulsion{reg_sign} in these units with only very minor modification. When compared to its predecessor, the new generation of Orimulsion{reg_sign} has proven to be a better product also from the environmental point of view. Due to its completely new designed surfactant package and its new architecture, the following results have consistently been shown: (1) Lower SO{sub 3} emissions; (2) Less CO production; and (3) Lower particulate levels.
