Ethanol: A clean-burning, high-octane renewable fuel that is blended with gasoline. Distillers Grains: Dried and modified (wet) co-products from the fermenting of sugars (starch) in the corn during the distilla
The article reports that San Diego, California-based Sapphire Energy claimed that it produced ultra-clean versions of renewable 91 octane gasoline and diesel by turning algae into oil. According to Sapphire Technology spokesman Sam Butler, photosynthesis is the process used to produce the green crude...
Oil refinery or petroleum refinery is an industrial process plant where crude oil is transformed and refined into more useful products such as petroleum naphtha, gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene, liquefied petroleum gas, jet fuel and fuel oils Packing and ...
The liquid product was classified into gasoline (C5-200 °C), diesel (200–350 °C) and slurry oil (Initial boiling point >350 °C), and a small distillation setup was used to cut out gasoline, diesel and slurry oil, more details of this device are given in the previous literature (...
Biological methanation (biomethanation) of syngas obtained from biomass gasification offers the opportunity to employ a low-pressure, low-temperature proce
Then I decanted the liquid into a fresh pot, leaving the gold clusters behind. These were recycled back into the aqua regia 'dissolving bottle' for later attempts. You may stop down the process at the end of any boildown, cover the pot, and store it until the next work session. ...
A bitumen and heavy oil upgrading process and system is disclosed for the synthesis of hydrocarbons, an example of which is synthetic crude oil (SCO). The process advantageously avo
An apparatus and method for treating a liquid hydrocarbon stream useful as a precursor for transportation fuel and which contains an unacceptably high level of heteroatom compounds is provided for the
high temperatures and pressures may be required to obtain the desired low levels of sulfur. High temperature processing of olefinic naphtha, however, may result in a lower grade fuel due to saturation of olefins leading to an octane loss. Low octane gasoline may require additional refining, isomer...
Turning again to FIG. 1, a drum closure/discharge throttling system is located below bottom head 3, and can be of any suitable design as long as it contains a closure member for closing off the aperture through which coke is discharged from the bottom of the vessel and as long as it ca...
