At the invitation of Italian partners our laboratory conducted field tests. Muddy water- fuel emulsion that consisted of 57% of diesel fuel and 43% of moisture was presented for work.
After the separation at the test unit two fractions were obtained:
-
Refined diesel fuel visually conforming to a sample of the standard commercial diesel fuel. Laboratory analysis showed that moisture content in the fuel was less than 1%. Method of the analysis that is used at the host enterprise can detect moisture only when its content in the fuel is more than 1%. Thus, moisture was not detected.
-
Separated water.
