Introduction to Petrochemical Industry
The petrochemical industry is a branch of the chemical industry that produces a wide range of chemical products from petroleum and natural gas. These chemical products are the building blocks
Difference Between Octane Number and Cetane Number
Octane Number and the Cetane Number are used as reference points for determining the quality of gasoline and diesel fuel and how likely a fuel is to catch fire on
Polymerization Process to Produce Gasoline in Oil Refinery
In the petroleum refinery, the polymerization process converts light olefin gases such as ethylene, propylene, and butylene into hydrocarbons with a greater molecular weight and a more significant octane number
Types of Packings in Packed Distillation Column
A packed column is a type of distillation column that is filled with packing material. Packed columns are used for distillation, gas absorption, and liquid extraction. Packing in Packed columns
Types of Storage Tanks
A storage tank is a container for holding various liquids, chemicals, petroleum, petrochemical products and compressed gases. Storage tanks operate under no internal pressure, vacuum, or slight pressure. Storage tanks
Properties of Jet Fuel
Jet fuel is a distillate fraction of crude oil having boiling points between 150~ and 250 °C. This fuel is lighter than diesel cut and heavier than naphtha and gasoline
Cetane Number and Cetane Index of Diesel Fuel
The cetane number or cetane rating is a measure of the ignition quality or knocking tendency of diesel fuel in a diesel engine. It is used to predict how easily
Distillation and its Types
Distillation is the process of separating two or more components from a liquid mixture by using selective boiling and condensation or their relative volatility inside the distillation tower. Distillation may
Properties of Gasoline Fuel
Gasoline or petrol is a transparent, petroleum-derived flammable liquid that is used primarily as a fuel in most petrol engines or spark-ignited internal combustion engines. It consists mostly of organic
