Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0136569A1] The invention concerns a method for continuously preparing a water-in-oil emulsified fuel to mix additives, water and a hydrocarbon phase and optionally in recycling the resulting mixture. The method comprises two steps: the first consists in providing at least a phase A consisting of the additives required for stabilising the emulsion and the water in the hydrocarbon phase for a homogeneous spatial distribution of water droplets less than 200 mu m in size; and the second phase consists in reducing the size of the droplets by dispersion using an emulsifying device having a peripheral moving speed of at least 10 m/s, preferably higher than 25 m/s and enabling a retention time in the emulsifying device between 1 second and 80 seconds, preferably between 2 and 30 seconds.
