A process for the in line development of water-in-fuel oil emulsions so as to be used in thermoelectric central stations, boilers and industrial kilns. Said invention useful for reducing the emission of particles, neutralizing damaging effects of sulphur trioxide and contributing to minimize the accumulation of deposits on outer surfaces of pipes and air preheaters. The disclosure is characterized for feeding a manganese or calcium-based chemical product in aqueous solution that is stored (30 degree C) in a tank, into a second tank where the emulsion water is stored. The aqueous solution is maintained in a constant flow and the water is supplied to the fuel line by means of a pump, before the fuel is supplied to burners. Moreover, the fuel oil that is at a temperature of 50 degree C is suctioned from the day tank along with the water and both pass through steam heaters, thereby increasing the temperature up to 130 degree C, then said liquids pass through an elastic mixer where the water-in-fuel oil emulsi on is carried out and finally sent to the burners. 80% of the water drops of the emulsion are smaller than 4 micron.
