RAPTECH cavitation technology
Pioneering solutions for marine fuels through UADA cavitation technology
Emulsion-based fuels - stable, low-emission, industry-compatible
With its patented UADA cavitation technology, RAPTECH offers an advanced method for the production of low-emission marine fuels based on bunker fuels for shipping. These innovative fuel mixtures do not require any chemical additives, significantly reduce fuel consumption and cut harmful emissions by up to 25 percent. Thanks to their high long-term stability and phase consistency, the emulsions offer safe storage and reliable transportation in industrial applications. As a sustainable alternative to conventional maritime fuels, RAPTECH's alternative fuels are used as high-performance marine fuels in the following areas:
- Use of marine fuels in large maritime engines such as cargo ships and tankers
- Compliance with ISO 8217:2024 and FuelEU Maritime regulations
- Application in emission-reduced power generation
- Supporting maritime companies in complying with environmentally friendly emission standards
- Reducing fuel costs and improving operational efficiency through alternative marine fuels

Efficient emulsion technology for marine fuels in maritime and industrial applications
- RAPTECH UADA technology uses targeted hydrodynamic cavitation to create stable emulsions from difficult-to-mix components such as heavy fuel oil, biodiesel and optionally water. This finely dispersed marine fuel mixture is characterized by high stability and efficiency and provides an excellent basis for emission-reduced combustion.
Thanks to this powerful dispersion and homogenization process, which enables an adaptable mixing ratio, marine fuels - including renewable energy sources - can be used optimally to reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions. The marine fuel emulsions produced are particularly suitable for maritime use and in stationary industrial plants for energy generation.
UADA cavitation technology is ideal for:
- Emulsions with heavy fuel oil (HFO)
- Combinations of HSFO, VLFO and ULSFO
- Biodiesel as a renewable energy source
- Bioethanol for industrial use
- Pyrolysis oil from recycled plastics
- Hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO)
- Glycerine-based fuel solutions
- Water-in-fuel emulsion systems
- Qualitative upgrading of heavy fuels
- Cavitation-based fuel reforming
- Optimization of atomization properties
- Demand-oriented use of additives

Technological and innovative advantages of RAPTECH marine fuels
Lower emissions with full ISO 8217 compliance with marine fuels
Optimized combustion of marine fuels through finely dispersed emulsions
RAPTECH's advanced UADA cavitation technology enables highly efficient homogenization of marine fuels - especially with demanding components such as heavy fuel oil or biogenic fuel components. By creating ultra-fine emulsions, the droplet size of marine fuels is significantly reduced, resulting in improved combustion and a higher energy yield.
Thanks to the fine microstructure, emissions can be noticeably reduced when using marine fuels. This technology is fully compliant with the requirements of ISO 8217:2024 and is ideal for the use of modern, sustainably formulated marine fuels. RAPTECH thus creates the basis for a future-proof and low-emission energy supply - both in the maritime and stationary industrial sectors.
