Orimulsion{reg_sign} an alternative source of energy
- BITOR, Caracas (Venezuela)
This paper gives a brief summary of the Orimulsion{reg_sign} capabilities, current applications and its potential as an alternative energy source. Orimulsion{reg_sign} is a fuel based on natural Bitumen dispersed in water. The characteristics of Orimulsion{reg_sign} permit its handling in a manner similar to that used for conventional liquid fuels. Conclusive proof that Orimulsion{reg_sign} maintains its stability during long periods of time has been provided by the favorable experience over the past years in the storage facilities used by Bitor and its clients. More than 4 million metric tons per year of Orimulsion{reg_sign} are being used worldwide for power generation with excellent results, not only in economic aspects but also in environmental matter. Furthermore, Orimulsion{reg_sign} has been tested successfully with most existing combustion technologies, as well as with sulfur abatement and recovery equipment. Orimulsion{reg_sign} represents an excellent cost-effective alternative for clean power generation. It has been demonstrated that Orimulsion{reg_sign} CO{sub 2} emission are 20 % lower than Coal, also Orimulsion{reg_sign} has an enormous potential to lower NO{sub x} emissions as a reburning fuel, due to its inherent pre-atomization nature, water content and lower flame temperature. The paper will describe the Orimulsion{reg_sign} performance in different combustion technologies, like: Conventional Boilers, Diesel Engines, Gasification Process and Cement Kilns.
