Modeling the chemistry of complex petroleum mixtures.
Determining the complete molecular composition of petroleum and its refined products is not feasible with current analytical techniques because of the astronomical number of molecular components. Modeling the composition and behavior of such complex mixtures in refinery processes has accordingly evolved along a simplifying concept called lumping. Lumping reduces the complexity of the problem to...
متن کاملCompositional Modeling of Wax Formation in Petroleum Mixtures
Heavy organics deposition is a common problem in oil industry, especially in oil production, transportation and processing. Wax or solid paraffin series are examples of heavy organics that deposit. Precipitation and crystallization of wax causes major difficulties in different processes. Based on multi-solid theory, a basic model is modified in this paper for wax precipitation in different oils...
متن کاملUnderstanding and Reducing Fouling in Whey Evaporators
Optimization of evaporators with respect to fouling will lead to an increase in runtime and production capacity. Unfortunately optimization processes are often trial-and-error based because the exact mechanism and rate of fouling are not known. This makes the optimization process inefficient and results are often sub-optimal. In order to improve the optimization process a predictive model was d...
متن کاملThe Liquid Density of Complex Liquid Mixtures
A second virial coefficient correlation suitable for two different temperatures ranges, (T*)-2£180 and (T*)-2>180, where T* is RT/DHvap is presented. The equation of state can be calculated for different, complicated non-polar, and slightly polar liquid mixtures at any temperature over the range from Ttp to T<su...
