Study of Radiation Effect on Petroleum Oils
Journal Title: Petroleum & Petrochemical Engineering Journal - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The article provides the gas chromatographic results of decomposition products produced by radiation of the low-viscosity hydraulic oils. The analysis of radiation effect of different doses on model mixtures distinguishing by hydrocarbon composition allowed establishing that hydrogen and hydrocarbon gases are the main components of the hydrocarbon radiation decomposition. The cycloalkane hydrocarbons subjected to dehydrogenation are the main hydrogen source under radiation exposure. The alkanes of different branching degree and alkane substituents of cycloalkanes serve as the hydrocarbon gas source. The arene structures have a stabilizing effect on the hydrocarbons regard to the radiation. It was shown that isoparaffinic hydrocarbons demonstrate the least degradation under action of radiation. The stabilizing effect of monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with branched alkyl substituents was confirmed.

Effects of Pt/Al2O3 Catalyst Load on Upgrading of Pyrolytic Bio-oil by Hydrodeoxygenation in a Fixed Bed Reactor
This study deals with the numerical modelling and simulations of catalytic upgrading of bio-oil in a fixed bed reactor using Pt/Al2O3 catalyst (of load 20 g – 100 g) in the range of weight hourly space velocity (WHSV = 1...
Sizing Surface Production Flow line Insulation Thickness for a Desired Output Temperature
Oil and gas is transported from the wellheads to the gathering stations through pipelines called surface production flow-lines. Flow-lines are located at the oil and gas well site and tied to specific wells. Flow-line ma...
