Low-Sulfur Fuel and Oil Production

Abstract:

Problems of transforming heavy crude high-sulfur oil into low-sulfur fuels and oils become increasingly urgent for oil refineries. The main reason for that is depletion of low-sulfur oil-fields and following rise of heavy crude oil share in world's oil production. Desulfurization of oil and petroleum residues is performed by breaking down or extraction of sulfur and sulfur compounds with catalyst and chemical additives which leads to considerable rise in price of refinery. Desulfurization technology proposed in the following research involves simultaneous use of the acoustic and hydrodynamical cavitation for breaking down long molecular connections. Oil refinery was performed in the electromechanical vortex layer activator which intensified mechanoactivation processes by intensive movement of ferromagnetic elements in the external magnetic field.
