While diesel fuel and gasoline come from the same source—crude oil—they are processed at a refinery in very different ways. These differences impact everything from the environmental performance of diesel and petrol and fuel prices to refinery margins and even the long-term energy policy of a country.
Considering the naphtha hydrotreating unit’s role within the hydrotreating system, the unit’s profitability is more important than ever, with the naphtha hydrotreating unit’s profitability being driven by the other refinery units. Given the advancements made in designed equipment, reactors, and control systems, one variable continues to influence hydrotreating the most… the catalyst.
The world is facing a global plastic waste problem that requires innovative and sustainable solutions. Landfills are overflowing, and the oceans are carrying the burden; now comes the latest in advanced recycling technologies to turn this environmental problem into a valuable opportunity. Above all, pyrolysis of wastes into fuels is one proven and efficient method.
Most plastics, especially PP, PE, and PS, are petroleum-based materials that, even after their disposal, still contain high energy content. Instead of allowing these resources to build up as waste, modern conversion technology, for instance, plastic to diesel processing, enables us to turn non-recyclable plastics into usable fuel.
The used motor oil disposal is one that causes great concern for the environment. Whenever someone is deciding how to deal with the used motor oil that is a common ‘automotive byproduct’, the question arises: Is it legal to burn used motor oil?
Petroleum refining is a complicated set of single chemical and physical steps of turning crude oil into useable products starting from a wellhead. One of the more important and useful steps of the oil refining process is called dewaxing.
Lubricants consist of base oils, which usually take around 70% to 95% of the product finish. These base oils determine how well the lubricant performs, its stability, and how long it will last.
We often have customers who want to learn what really defines the performance of a finished lubricant. Sophisticated machinery and precise automation surely have crucial roles, but the foundation of every successful production of lube oils lies in two very significant ingredients — base oils and additives.
As a manufacturer deeply involved in the design and production of petroleum testing equipment, we understand how critical standard compliance is for our clients across refineries, laboratories, and research facilities. Every test, whether for viscosity, flash point, or distillation, has a direct impact on product quality, safety, and operational reliability.
Refining of petroleum is arguably the most important refining process in the global energy industry. From crude, we obtain vital fuel products like gasoline, diesel fuel, and jet fuel, along with precious petrochemical feedstocks. To make this possible, refiners employ a vast array of chemicals for petroleum refining.
