METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING EMULSION OIL CONTINUOUSLY

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for producing emulsion oil continuously, in each of which the homogeneous emulsion oil can be produced continuously by arranging an independent mixing means on both of the oil component side and water component side of an emulsion oil production/mix tank. SOLUTION: The method for producing emulsion oil continuously includes the steps of: using the emulsion oil production/mix tank in which a lower mixing zone and an upper emulsion oil withdrawing zone are formed by using a metallic filtration means, which is fixed to the position higher than the middle thereof, as a boundary; fixing a first fluid mixing means and a second fluid mixing means on the outer wall of the emulsion oil production/mix tank in the mixing zone; and forcibly feeding the half-mixed fluid withdrawn from the mixing zone to each of the first and second fluid mixing means to suck an oil component from a fuel tank and a water component from a water tank by utilizing the negative pressure to be formed around a discharge port of each of the first and second fluid mixing means so that the newly-sucked oil component is further mixed flowingly with the half-mixed fluid, in which a radial diffusion stream is produced, and the obtained mixed fluid is discharged into the mixing zone to advance emulsification and produce the emulsion oil.
