This book was released on 2024-03-06 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book describes the results of research dealing with two types of petroleum dispersions: water in petroleum fractions and fuels as well as asphaltenes in crude oil. Such industrial research is aimed at acquiring new knowledge useful for improving processes and products. The main goal of the research carried out was to solve problems of refining technology and the exploitation of petroleum products. Some of the developed solutions have been patented and applied in industry. The problem of solubilizing a small technological amount of water in gasoline and diesel fuels with the aid of surfactant compositions has been successfully resolved. This solution has been used in business practice; it also increases the water tolerance of gasoline with 5% ethanol and allows for the effective use of LPG. The coalescence on fibrous barriers for dewatering fractions from the atmospheric distillation of crude oil allowed for the economic removal of dispersed water and additionally - the removal from diesel distillates of a significant part of the mineral contaminations. A coalescing method of removing sodium lye dispersed in heavy gasoline from the FCC process was successfully used in an industrial plant, replacing the sand filter used in Merox technology. The deep dehydration of the hydrotreated kerosene fraction by evaporating water into an inert gas, a nitrogen blanket, was developed. The product was additionally protected against the aging processes. The influence of pyrolysis oil, a waste product of the pyrolysis process, on the physical structure of crude oil was investigated. The results of the laboratory tests were verified in industrial trials in the AVD plant. Positive test results made it possible to use pyrolysis oil on an industrial scale changing the dispersion structure and properties of crude oil as well as distillation results.

This book was released on 2005-09-02 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely, hands-on guide to environmental issues and regulatorystandards for the petroleum industry Environmental analysis and testing methods are an integral part ofany current and future refining activities. Today's petroleumrefining industry must be prepared to meet a growing number ofchallenges, both environmental and regulatory. Environmental Analysis and Technology for the Refining Industryfocuses on the analytical issues inherent in any environmentalmonitoring or cleanup program as they apply to today's petroleumindustry, not only during the refining process, but also duringrecovery operations, transport, storage, and utilization. Designedto help today's industry professionals identify test methods formonitoring and cleanup of petroleum-based pollutants, the bookprovides examples of the application of environmental regulationsto petroleum refining and petroleum products, as well as currentand proposed methods for the mitigation of environmental effectsand waste management. Part I introduces petroleum technology, refining, and products, andreviews the nomenclature used by refiners, environmentalscientists, and engineers. Part II discusses environmentaltechnology and analysis, and provides information on environmentalregulation and the impact of refining. Coverage includes: * In-depth descriptions of analyses related to gaseous emissions,liquid effluents, and solid waste * A checklist of relevant environmental regulations * Numerous real-world examples of the application of environmentalregulations to petroleum refining and petroleum products * An analysis of current and proposed methods of environmentalprotection and waste management

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From basic tenets to the latest advances, this is the most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of the process of biodesulfurization in the petroleum refining industry. Petroleum refining and process engineering is constantly changing. No new refineries are being built, but companies all over the world are still expanding or re-purposing huge percentages of their refineries every year, year after year. Rather than building entirely new plants, companies are spending billions of dollars in the research and development of new processes that can save time and money by being more efficient and environmentally safer. Biodesulfurization is one of those processes, and nowhere else it is covered more thoroughly or with more up-to-date research of the new advances than in this new volume from Wiley-Scrivener. Besides the obvious benefits to biodesulfurization, there are new regulations in place within the industry with which companies will, over the next decade or longer, spend literally tens, if not hundreds, of billions of dollars to comply. Whether for the veteran engineer needing to update his or her library, the beginning engineer just learning about biodesulfurization, or even the student in a chemical engineering class, this outstanding new volume is a must-have. Especially it covers also the bioupgrading of crude oil and its fractions, biodenitrogenation technology and application of nanotechnology on both biodesulfurization and biodenitrogenation technologies.

This book was released on 2007-11-13 with total page 731 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past 30 years have seen the emergence of a growing desire worldwide to take positive actions to restore and protect the environment from the degrading effects of all forms of pollution: air, noise, solid waste, and water. Because pollution is a direct or indirect consequence of waste, the seemingly idealistic demand for “zero discharge” can be construed as an unrealistic demand for zero waste. However, as long as waste exists, we can only attempt to abate the subsequent pollution by converting it to a less noxious form. Three major questions usually arise when a particular type of pollution has been identified: (1) How serious is the pollution? (2) Is the technology to abate it available? and (3) Do the costs of abatement justify the degree of abatement achieved? The principal intention of the Handbook of Environmental Engineering series is to help readers formulate answers to the last two questions. The traditional approach of applying tried-and-true solutions to specific pollution pr- lems has been a major contributing factor to the success of environmental engineering, and has accounted in large measure for the establishment of a “methodology of pollution c- trol. ” However, realization of the ever-increasing complexity and interrelated nature of current environmental problems makes it imperative that intelligent planning of pollution abatement systems be undertaken.
