The oil refining laboratories at SINTEF consists of pilot units for catalytic upgrading of oil fractions close to industrial conditions. There has been a continuous project activity in the laboratories since 1981 in close collaboration with the industry and academia.
Explore enhanced GC analyzers, simulated distillation, and other rapid solutions that ensure accurate and precise process sample test results and efficient laboratory performance, allowing petroleum refineries to run efficiently, productively, and profitably.
This chapter provides an introduction to petroleum refining. It discusses different refining processes and refinery configuration, which can range from single topping for crude distillation to high conversion refinery for petro-refinery.
Oil and natural gas will for the foresee-able future form an important part of everyday life. Their availability has changed the whole economy of the world by providing basic needs for mankind in the form of fuel, petrochemicals, and feedstocks for fertilizer plants and energy for the power sector.
After a brief historical perspective of crude oil refining, refinery objectives are introduced and an overall refinery flow diagram is presented to show how the major processes are integrated to produce the desired petroleum fuels and nonfuel materials from crude oil.
The purpose of the tutorial is to (1) provide context and an organizing framework for the overall analysis, (2) identify the technical factors that determine the refining cost of ULSG and ULSD production, and (3) facilitate interpretation of the results of the analysis. The tutorial addresses:
1 sty 2015 · There are many more laboratory and other tests that are carried out in the refinery company’s research and development establishment. These later tests are carried out to improve product quality parameters or to establish design data for processes and development work.
