Emulsified Fuels: Technology


The GeTx system will revolutionise the entire mixing industry for emulsified fuels. The GeTx is a state of the art technology with a unique patent for de-agglomeration, solids dispersion and emulsification based on high speed thin film centrifugal mixing. It is capable of producing very fine homogenous mixtures of liquid-liquid and liquid-solid substances. The GeTx system can easily and economically homogenize and emulsify fluids, regardless of their viscosity. Proprietary surfactants stabilize the mix by forming a protective shell around the water spray to keep it from coalescing.




 


Current mixing technology requires massive energy inputs for both the initial mixing and for maintaining the emulsion in a mixed state. This high energy requirement makes the process both inefficient and costly. The GeTx system utilises high speed surface mixing and instant mix extraction resulting in a more precise and efficient mix than other emulsions, while expending up to ten times less energy than other mixers. The GeTx system consumes 200-300 Joules per litre of mixture which is up to ten times lower than other competing mixers capable of producing similar quality emulsions; the GeTx system therefore reduces energy consumption by up to ten times more than competing technologies. The construction of the GeTx system is robust and hard wearing, requiring little maintenance and downtime.
