Dispatching Petroleum Products

Effect of chronic inhalation of petroleum products on hematological parameters

Petroleum products are used for various reasons by human beings at homes, in manufacturing and petrochemical industries. The individuals most frequently exposed are those working in enterprises concerned with petrol and diesel, like petrol pumps. Chronic exposure to these compounds causes CNS depression and affects the kidney, liver, blood and systems. Hence, the present study was undertaken to...

Rapid Identification of Petroleum Products by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has been successfully utilized for the rapid identification of six typical petroleum products such as light straight-run (LSR), naphtha, kerosine, light gas oil (LGO), gasoline, and diesel. The spectral features of each product were reasonably differentiated in the NIR region, and the spectral differences provided enough qualitative spectral information for disc...

Assessment and management of acute poisoning by petroleum products.

Petroleum products are highly complex chemical mixtures consisting predominantly of hydrocarbons. Their composition varies with source and intended use of the product. Virtually all are blended products that come into contact with man in a wide range of circumstances. Their toxicity for man is generally low and the use of additives rarely affects the toxicity of the final product. Because produ...

Development of a Portable Petroleum By-Products Chemical Sensor

Physical and chemical characterization of petroleum products by GC-MS.

There is a need for reliable and fast means of monitoring refining, conversion, and upgrading processes aiming to increase the yield of light distillates, and thus, reducing the oil barrel bottoms. By simultaneously utilizing the FID and mass selective detectors while splitting the column effluent in a controlled way, it is possible to obtain identical gas chromatograms and total ion chromatogr...
