<p>THE INVENTION RELATES TO A STABLE, MACRO EMULSION WHEREIN WATER IS THE CONTINUOUS PHASE AND COMPRISES A FISCHER-TROPSCH DERIVED HYDROCARBON LIQUID, WATER AND A SURFACTANT. PREFERABLY, THE EMULSION IS PREPARED IN THE SUBSTANTIAL ABSENCE, E.G., ?2.0 WTAND PREFERABLY LESS THAN 1.0 WT, OR ABSENCE OF THE ADDITION OF A CO-SOLVENT, E.G., ALCOHOLS, AND PREFERABLY IN THE SUBSTANTIAL ABSENCE OF CO-SOLVENT, THAT IS, FISCHER-TROPSCH LIQUIDS MAY CONTAIN TRACE AMOUNTS OF OXYGENATES, INCLUDING ALCOHOLS; THESE OXYGENATES MAKE UP LESS OXYGENATES THAN WOULD BE PRESENT IF A CO-SOLVENT WAS INCLUDED IN THE EMULSION. GENERALLY, THE ALCOHOL CONTENT OF THE FISCHER-TROPSCH DERIVED LIQUIDS IS NIL IN THE SENSE OF NOT BEING MEASURABLE, AND IS GENERALLY LESS THAN ABOUT 2 WTBASED ON THE LIQUIDS, MORE PREFERABLY LESS THAN ABOUT 1 WTBASED ON THE LIQUIDS.</p> |
