The assessment of five emulsifiers for the production of stable coal-oil-water emulsions and the determination of the practicability of their use in a boiler system is being investigated. Three emulsifiers are on hand, one on order and the other to be chosen. All ancillary equipment has been set up and one emulsifier evaluation underway with the second unit ready for experimentation. The K-scan stability apparatus has been automated and final validity test successfully completed. Viscosity data on water-oil mixtures is reported.
