Abstract

This study focused on the use of orimulsion in industrial combustion systems. Orimulsion is a bitumen-in-water emulsified fuel, which contains a thirty percent water. Orimulsion has relatively high levels of sulfur and nitrogen compared to many fuel oils, and has been the subject of much debate regarding the environmental impacts of its use. The goal of this research is to analyse the effect of flash spray combustion characteristics of orimulsion on NOx and particulate material reduction. For the flash spray of orimulsion, it is heated by $150^{\circ}C$. The effects of fuel heating temperatures on NOx and particulate material emissions were investigated experimentally. As the fuel temperature was increased, NOx and particulate material concentrations in flue gas were decreased.
