Zusammenfassung: | A fuel emulsion blending system (12) and method for operating the same is provided. The disclosed embodiments of the fuel emulsion blending system (12) includes a plurality of fluid circuits (16, 20 , 50, 86), including a hydrocarbon circuit (16), a fuel emulsion additive circuit (20), a water circuit (50) and an optional alcohol/methanol circuit (86). Each of the inlet circuits (18, 22, 62, 88) are adapted for receiving the identified ingredient from a suitable source which optionally may be included as part of the blending system (12). The disclosed blending system (12) further includes a first blending station (46) adapted to mix the hydrocarbon fuel and fuel emulsion additives and a second blending station (52) adapted to mix the hydrocarbon fuel and additive mixture received from the first blending station together with the water received from the source of water. The disclosed blending system (12) further includes an emulsification station (70) downstream of the blending stations (46, 52) which is adapted t o emulsify the mixture of hydrocarbon fuel, additives and water to yield a stable fuel emulsion. |
