Stable emulsions can be produced by NanoSpire ultra-high shear technology, without the need for surfactants. Oil drop size is reduced down to the low nanometer range where Brownian motion prevents the bouyant drops from rising. Canola Oil emulsions are still stable 45 months after processing with no surfactants. Heavy fuel oil Bunker C was processed by NanoSpire high-shear cavitation technology. The fuel oil was heated to 150 deg C and mixed 50/50 with water by weight. The resulting clear emulsion (2.4 nm oil drop size) is still unseparated 45 months later with no surfactants.
