Emulsified fuel demonstration today


Company says its product is 'the cheapest, safest and highest quality fuel emulsion on the world market today'.



UK firm SulNOx Fuel Fusions Plc - a producer of fuel/water emulsions (commonly known as 'emulsified fuel') - is due to demonstrate its technology to an audience of politicians, business people and the media with a test on a 1959 Route Master bus today (September 4).

The company claims that it has developed "the cheapest, safest and highest quality fuel emulsion on the world market today, with the ability to significantly reduce many of the negative environmental impacts caused by the use of hydrocarbons, for both combustion and burning."

SulNOx says that its range of alternatives to mainstream hydrocarbon fuels are able to reduce carbon emissions by over 90 percent at a cost "less than normal" compared to heavy fuel oils (HFO), marine diesel oil (MDO), marine gas oil (MGO), Mazut and biofuels.

In a statement, SulNox said: "Balancing the need to look after the environment, whilst maintaining economic growth, is one of the great challenges of our age. Up until now, the world has been unable to find the answer, and our planet’s environment has paid the price.

"Now, SulNOx believes it has the solution. By using SulNOxEco fuels, the global economy can get on with its day-to-day business without destroying the planet in the process.

"SulNOx wants to fully exploit its unique formula for a fuel/water emulsifier to reduce exhaust pollutants in a sustainable, effective and economic way. SulNOx can increase the efficiency of most combustion and fuel fired engines, help reduce normal engine wear and reduce maintenance costs."

The product demonstration is due to take place at the London Bus Museum, Cobham Hall, Brooklands Dr, Weybridge KT13 0QN, UK on Thursday September 4, at 11 a.m.
