19 results about "Oil refinery" patented technology

An oil refinery or petroleum refinery is an industrial process plant where crude oil is transformed and refined into more useful products such as petroleum naphtha, gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene, liquefied petroleum gas, jet fuel and fuel oils. Petrochemicals feed stock like ethylene and propylene can also be produced directly by cracking crude oil without the need of using refined products of crude oil such as naphtha.

Accurate gas leak detection using tuneable diode lidar systems

When using spectroscopic diode lidar to detect a gas of interest such as methane (CH4), detecting high concentration pathlength (CPL) values of the gas of interest may not actually indicate a plume or leak. In areas such as a refinery, where ambient gas levels may be routinely high, absorption from ambient gas measured over a long pathlength may produce the same CPL value as a much closer gas leak, leading to a false positive. By collecting and using lidar distance information in tandem with the CPL values determined from the lidar system spectroscopic measurements, the statistical properties of the dataset can be evaluated, and ambient concentrations of the gas estimated. A lidar dataset with revised values of CPL that adjusts for these measurements of ambient concentration may be created to provide better reliability for analysis and in for triggering alarms for potentially dangerous gas concentrations and leaks.

System, method, and apparatuses for near-zero emission modular oil refinery with flue-gas sequestration

ActiveUS12644058B2Thermal non-catalytic crackingRefining by heating/coolingNitrogen oxidesAPI gravity
A system for refining crude oil to minimize emissions of toxic compounds in the atmosphere during refining. The crude oil is treated with viscosity-reductant additives, reducing viscosity by up to 50% and increasing API gravity by more than 2 points. The method of spray-cracking and vacuum-flashing of crude oil, the system separates light and heavy end chains within the reactor. The vapor is condensed into designer fuels using a multi-stage horizontal reverse condensate-condenser or closed-loop distillation tower. Process heater directs flue gases through high-salinity fluids, such as a brine-processing device to capture, sequester, or mineralize the CO2, CO, NOx, and other contaminants from the flue gases. This results in a significant reduction in emissions, a further reduction to near-zero emissions (>95-98%) is achieved by the combination of (1) the closed loop processes, tank blanketing and capturing, sequestering and mineralizing emitted flue gases from the heater combustion-exhaust.

A catalyst for wet oxidation of oil refining alkali residue and a preparation method thereof

This invention discloses a wet oxidation catalyst for oil refinery alkali residue and its preparation method, relating to the field of catalysts. The catalyst preparation method involves dissolving activated carbon in a solution to form a mixture, stirring and reacting it under an oxygen atmosphere of 0.5 MPa–5 MPa and a temperature of 200°C–260°C, followed by filtration and drying to obtain the catalyst. During the wet oxidation reaction, the catalyst degrades organic matter and sulfur-containing compounds in the oil refinery alkali residue into CO2, H2O, and SO4 under high temperature and high pressure conditions. 2‑ This achieves the effect of reducing COD in wastewater. This application uses modified activated carbon as a wet oxidation catalyst for oil refinery alkali residue, which eliminates the problem of active component leaching. Furthermore, the active center of the catalyst is the functional group generated during oxidation, making it less prone to deactivation.

Amide derivatives for inhibiting corrosion in sour and sweet media in petroleum refinery streams and their obtaining process

Disclosed are internal corrosion inhibitors for crude oil refining processes, where the water content is associated with different concentrations of inorganic salts and where there is evidence of the presence of dissolved H2S and / or CO2. The corrosion inhibitors mitigate corrosion in refinery environments due to the chemical structure of the components derived from amino acids and benzaldehydes, with characteristics that tolerate corrosive environments. The products comprise two or more members of these inhibitors along with a solvent. Their action is to reduce the corrosion of metal surfaces inside refineries that process crude oil with water containing dissolved ionic species, capable of damaging metal structures. The combination of two or more different components produces a synergistic effect, which is attributed to interactions with the metal surface, each other, or with the corrosive medium, depending on the length of the molecular chain. This allows corrosion inhibition with a reduced formulation dose.
