How It Works
Quadrise’s modular technology can be installed in under 12 months and is compatible with existing fuel oil and biofuel infrastructure, resulting in a low cost solution.
The simple production process is as follows:
- Oil residues are taken from the refinery or heavy oil production and cooled to under 200ºC to achieve the required viscosity.
- Water, which can be derived from several utility or waste-water sources is added to the residue.
- Special additives provided by our long term chemical technology partner Nouryon are included in the water phase to stabilise the emulsion for long-term storage and transport, and to promote complete combustion.
- The mixture is processed in a proprietary emulsion module to produce a highly-stable oil-in-water emulsion with enhanced fuel properties.
- A biofuel component such as renewable glycerine can be added to produce bioMSAR™ as an alternative to MSAR® for further carbon dioxide savings. bioMSAR™ and MSAR® can be made interchangeably and are compatible with each other.
Our process makes oil-soluble fuels and biofuels disperse completely in water, creating a superfine “oil-in-water” emulsion fuel and biofuel with enhanced combustion properties.
