Decreasing supplies of high quality crude oil and increasing demand for high quality distillates have motivated the interest in converting natural gas to liquid fuels, especially with the present boom in natural gas proven reserves. Nevertheless, one major issue is the curtailment of costs incurred in producing synthesis gas from natural gas, which account for approximately 60% of the costs use...

Rubber seed oil (RSO) and its sodium soap were pyrolysed in a batch reactor to obtain low molar mass organic substances. The pyrolitic oil of RSO was redistilled and the distillates were characterized by GC-MS and FTIR. Density, acid value, saponification value and ester values were also measured according to the ASTM standard methods. A similar analysis was done for samples taken out at differ...

Between 1999 and 2020, there were twelve rapid alerts on dioxins in palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) products, six of which associated with hydrogenated distillates (HPFADs). In oil refineries for food feed, refined PFADs can be processed into HPFADs. This study investigated the effect hydrogenation products contain OCDD impact profiles toxic equivalent (TEQ) level. Palm spiked octachlorodiben...

Petroleum heavy vacuum gas oil (HVGO) containing 10 wt.% of petroleum wax was hydrocracked at 390–430 °C and under the pressure 18 MPa over a Ni W/amorphous silica-alumina catalyst in continuous-flow fixed-bed reactor. The hydrocracking reference feed (neat HVGO) carried out same reaction conditions. physico-chemical properties primary products obtained via laboratory atmospheric-vacuum distill...

Low-viscosity marine fuel oil that is obtained from the products of residual raw materials and middle distillate fractions intended for use in ship engines instead a diesel fuel. A real-world application this new composition great importance proposed low-viscosity created by compounding mixture distillates accordance with following parameters. The should contain vacuum fraction 420-490°C, 350-4...
