Energy – Oil


Example

  • Deep Cut Vacuum Distillation of Vacuum Residuals
  • Removal of Heavy Solvents (>C5) from Pitch
  • Cooling of Pitch to Produce Dry Granules

Worldwide the oil refineries are facing a fundamental change in the feedstock to be processed. The readily available crude oils are shifting from light to very heavy crude oils. This results in a sharp increase in the residuals coming from the vacuum distillation columns, and these residuals require treatment for the refineries to remain profitable.

LIST has developed several pioneering processes which will improve the economics when refining heavy crude oils by separating the valuable volatiles and discharging the concentrated pitch as dry particles or discharging the concentrated pitch to downstream technologies for further processing.

Biomass Torrefaction: Technological services

Torrefaction is a thermochemical treatment of the biomass, carried out at temperatures between 200 and 300 C in the absence of O2. This treatment produces beneficial changes on the biomass fuel, such as the improvement in milling behavior, the increase of calorific value, reduction of Cl, N and S content, reduction of equilibrium moisture content and the improved resistance to biological degradation.

Aprovechamiente de lodos del alquitrán y del petróleo

La parte principal del agua se atribuye al almacenamiento, pero también a su mezcla con el lodo para el transporte de éste. Solo una pequeña parte del agua podría considerarse como de reacción directa.

Verstecktes Geld – Verwertung von Teer-Oel-Schlämmen

Bei der Erdölförderung, in Raffinerien, bei der Teerdestillation, in Steinkohle- und braunkohlekokereien genauso wie in zahlreichen anderen Industriebereichen entstehen übelriechende Schlämme. Ihre Zusammensetzung ergibt sich aus der Herkunft der Produkte, wobei die Eigenschaften stark schwanken. Solche Teer-Öl-Schlämme werfen bei ihrer Verwertung zahlreiche Probleme auf. Der Beitrag beschreibt Lösungen und Verwertungsmöglichkeiten.
