Method for Producing HydroCarbon-Based Synthetic Fuel By Adding Water to Hyrocarbon-Based Fuel Oil

Abstract

In a method of producing a hydrocarbon-based synthetic fuel by adding water to a base oil, it is intended to increase a ratio of the synthetic fuel to a hydrocarbon-based fuel as the base oil, more significantly than ever before. Specifically, provided is a method of producing a hydrocarbon-based synthetic fuel oil having a volume greater than that of a hydrocarbon-based base fuel oil, by adding water to the hydrocarbon-based base fuel oil, wherein a first-order hydrocarbon-based synthetic fuel oil produced by the production method is used as a base fuel oil for producing a second-order hydrocarbon-based synthetic fuel oil, or this process is repeated plural times in sequence, thereby producing a hydrocarbon-based synthetic fuel having a high water addition rate.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a method of producing a hydrocarbon-based synthetic fuel equivalent to a hydrocarbon-based base fuel oil by adding water to the base oil.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Recently, it has been some time since environmental problems became an important issue on a global basis, and, as one countermeasure, technical developments regarding solar power generation, wind power generation and the like have been actively conducted. However, before achievement of full transition to such renewable energy, it is necessary to meticulously use traditional fossil fuel involved with a depletion problem, and conduct technical developments from many angles, such as developments regarding internal combustion engines and burning plants / facilities having less energy loss, and improvement of fossil fuel itself in terms of a calorific property or a combustion property, in a parallel manner. As one of them, it has been attempted to develop a technique of mixing water...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent is about a technique to create a fuel that reduces carbon dioxide emissions and air usage by mixing water and fuel oil. However, the current technique takes too long to blend all the water and oil together. Therefore, the patent aims to develop a technique that can perfectly blend water and fuel oil together quickly, creating a stable fuel that doesn't separate over time.

Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, generally, water and oil have difficulty in being perfectly fused together, and tend to be separated from each other after the elapse of a certain time even when they were fully blended or mixed together.

Although it is not impossible to sufficiently fuse water and oil together using a conventional technique, it requires taking so much time.

Thus, it is assumed that such a conventional technique is far from practical use from an economic viewpoint.

However, there is a limit on compensating for the decline in rate of hydrocarbon due to water addition, only by increasing the hydrogen content rate.

Thus, it is difficult to expect a significant increase in amount of fuel, from the method taught by the Patent Document 1.
