System Development of a Low-Emission Spray Combustor for Emulsified Crude Oil: Final Report

Abstract

This report documents the technology maturation of individual components and subsystems of the NRL/BSEE burner system, their respective verification in realistic burn conditions, and technology demonstration exercises for government agencies, spill equipment manufacturers, spill response planners, and others. Technology maturation efforts have been directed to a number of the burners components, including the ignition system, atomizer operability, and burner shroud material. System-level maturation efforts were focused on emissions measurements, wave motion, the influence of debris on hoses and the atomizer, and public demonstrations.
