Utilization of Orimulsion{reg_sign} in utility boilers

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:35492
Orimulsion{reg_sign}, a bitumen-in-water emulsion with excellent combustion characteristics, abundantly available from Venezuela, is being increasingly considered a a reliable economical fuel for relatively low cost conversion of utility boilers. Given the increasing deregulation of power generation both in the United States and worldwide, the economics and related advantages of Orimulsion{reg_sign} applications may provide opportunities for electric utilities to compete in power markets and do so in an environmentally acceptable manner.
