  • Patent number: 6033448
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a gasified fuel. The fuel is gasified by partial oxidation of a fuel layer obtained from a raw fuel which contains water and has decreased viscosity. The fuel layer is subjected to partial oxidation by being exposed to oxygen, producing a gasified fuel having a low water content. The separation of the raw fuel into a water layer and a fuel layer can be accelerated by adding an emulsion breaker to the raw fuel or by applying an electric field.
