viscosity of water in HFO
viscosity of water in HFO
(OP)
LS,
In the moment we are examining a problem with the viscosity of HFO with water added for NOx reduction. The water is added in the supply line to the mixing tank of the fuel system. With the viscosity control we find that we need a higher temperature for the same viscosity setpoint, when compared to the same HFO without water.
Does anyone know what will be the effect of water on the viscosity of HFO (as I expected that it would be less, but the measurement gives higher values).
Thanks,
DYV

You might contact Exxon Chemicals as they had several suitable emulsifiers for this purpose some years ago (mid- 1980's) under the Corexit trade name, the chemistry for which is probably still available.
