PentoMuls® is the best available water-in-oil emulsion technology for heavy fuel-fired boilers
Firing emulsions in boilers has been researched intensively for many decades. Pentol successfully commercialized this technology in 1997.
PentoMuls® mechanically and chemically stabilizes fuel oil to emulsify it with water.
Pentol’s extensive testing of PentoMuls has proven that it reduces fuel oil emissions

Reduce total solid emission by 60 – 80%!
Typically 60-80% of the ash emitted in a power plant consists of unburned carbon. We like to call this “wasted energy”. PentoMuls makes it possible to reduce unburned carbon emission by up to 90%. This results in a minimum of 50% less total ash being forced through superheaters, economizers and the air heater. This ash usually creates deposits that clog the heat exchanger surfaces. PentoMuls fuel oil treatment provides many advantages, from cleaning the fuel oil heaters and injection nozzles to increasing runtime with full load.
PentoMag®, Pentol’s Magnesium technology, increases the melting point of vanadium, sodium and potassium, so that these fuel components are actively suppressed. PentoMag neutralizes all condensing SO3, which reduces the exit gas temperature and increases efficiency by up to 2%. Any residuals remaining in the boiler will be water soluble and easy to remove during outages.
To guarantee the long-term stability of the emulsion, Pentol uses a combined mechanical and chemical stabilization of the fuel.
De-agglomerating asphaltene in the emulsion reduces the demand for combustion air during combustion, which results in a corresponding reduction of NOx and SO3 emissions. We guarantee that PentoMuls will ensure emulsion stability for up to six months. This allows us to produce the emulsion either online just before the burners or offline in front of the storage or day tank.
The PMDS (PentoMuls® Dosing System) is the key to creating a stable water-in-oil emulsion.
Fully automatic production of water-in-oil emulsion with perfectly sized water droplets.
The PMDS includes a continuous online measurement of the water content in the fuel. Therefore the water content is continuously adjusted to the fuel oil consumption and takes the natural water content of the fuel into consideration.
The PMDS can be connected to the DCS (distributed control system) for signal exchange.
The PMDS runs fully automatic. PentoMag and PentoMuls dosing rate is adjusted to the fuel flow. An interface allows to export all data to the DCS or a memory stick.
PMDS is CE compliant.

The flame’s core temperature is reduced by the evaporation of the water, which means lower NOx formation.
Reducing the time it takes to completely burn out the fuel allows a reduction of excess air, or oxygen levels, in the combustion.
Typically, 90% of the unburned carbon can be reduced for a total particle emission reduction of 50- 80%, depending on the fuel oil quality.
SO3 is reduced in combination with PentoMag to levels below 2 ppm, resulting in an invisible plume.
Combined with PentoMag, PentoMuls water-in-oil technology allows a reduction of approx. 3-4 % of fuel oil consumption, resulting in a direct reduction of CO2 production.

Pentol strives to combine emissions reduction with increased efficiency
Reducing emissions normally comes at a cost. Pentol’s primary focus on developing environmental technology, however, is to reduce emissions by optimizing combustion. This approach is extremely economical because the cost of Pentol’s fuel oil treatment is always covered by the overall reduction in fixed costs.
PentoMuls water-in-oil emulsion results in many efficiency improvements:
Decreases air pressure for better combustion efficiency
Reduces atomizing steam consumption
Reduces soot-blowing steam combustion
Reduces exit gas temperature to improve efficiency
Lessens deposits, which improves heat exchange
Extends operating time between boiler cleanings
Neutralizes corrosive deposits to decrease tube leaks
