1. A transportable fuel emulsion blending system for blending a fuel emulsion from a source of water, a source of hydrocarbon fuel, and a source of fuel emulsion additives, said fuel emulsion blending system comprising:
- a transportable platform, a first fluid circuit disposed on said platform in flow communication with said source of hydrocarbon fuel;
a second fluid circuit disposed on said platform in flow communication with said source of fuel emulsion additives;
a first blending station disposed on said platform in flow communication with said first and second fluid circuits and adapted to mix said hydrocarbon fuel and said fuel emulsion additives;
a second blending station disposed on said platform in flow communication with said first blending station and said source of water, said second blending station adapted to mix said hydrocarbon fuel and additive mixture from said first blending station together with said water; and
an emulsification station disposed on said platform in flow communication with said second blending station, said emulsification station adapted to emulsify said hydrocarbon fuel, fuel emulsion additives and water mixture to yield said fuel emulsion;
wherein said fuel emulsion blending system is readily transportable from a first location to an alternate location.
