Fossils
Fuels are becoming scarce. With the present documented
world crude oil reserves
and the
geometric increase in
global annual consumption, supply is
expected to
exhaust
by the middle of
the 21st Century. That is about 50 years
from
now. The search for an efficient, humanly safe,
environmentally friendly
and cost
effective alternative
source of energy has taken
unprecedented
attention and
pace
among the scholars, researchers and technologists. Yet the
technology developed thus far is nowhere near from
effective commercialization.
The
world therefore will
still be dependent on fossils fuel
for energy, albeit
temporarily. With that too, the
need to optimize fossil
fuel consumption to
conserve the ever depleting scarce
resource, need no further emphasis.
Global warming is no new issue. The world industrial plants and factories are continuously churning and emitting harmful Greenhouse Gases ( GHG ) into the atmosphere; CO, CO2, SOx, NOx, VOCs and PMs. The protective Ozone layer enveloping the earth atmosphere is also thinning. Unless rapidly addressed, we risk our future human generation with a world much warmer and less hospitable to live in.
These are the backdrops signifying the relevance of the CD92 Homogenizer systems:
Over the last few decades, 2 and 4 Strokes Diesel engines manufacturers have made significant technological progress in engine designs to optimize engine fuel consumption efficiency and minimize the emission of exhaust gases. The challenge ahead is getting no easier as ship fleet operators and power plants owners are shifting to lower grades of Heavy Fuel Oil ( HFO ).
The scarcity of fossil fuels, unstable governments and global geopolitical climate, coupled with manouvres of speculators, oil producing countries and companies, has contributed in one way or another, towards fuel oil price instability and continuous supply uncertainty.

Backdrop Overview
At the
peak of 2008, Crude Oil topped to USD145 per barrel, the
highest in human
history. With
globalization, competition
among the shipping companies
also
heightened. With fuel
oil
accounting to 70% of the total operating costs, ships
and power plants have resorted to using lower grades
residual HFO to
improve their
financial bottom
lines. It is more common to see the use
of
Cst380, 580,
700 and 1000 grades
today than ever before.
Resorting to lower grades Heavy Fuel Oil ( HFO ) comes with drawbacks. The demand for pre-combustion treatment of the HFO becomes more pressing. So too are the need to comply to emission regulations imposed by the IMO
(International Maritime Organisation) and local regional environmental bye laws.
For both economics and environmental reasons, the CD92 Homogenizers, offers viable and proven solutions to ships, power plants, industrial boilers and furnaces operators. In most instances, CD92 pre combustion fuel treatment systems and technology offers the most cost effective solutions.
