Petroleum Refinery Processes

Hydrogen Management in Petroleum Refinery

Hydrogen is one of the most important elements in petroleum refineries, and is in various refining processes to upgrade the petroleum products quality. Demand for hydrogen in petroleum refineries has

Demerization Process Description

A dimerization process is a form of polymerization that converts two propylene molecules to generate one C6 olefin molecule that is termed dimate, which is then used as a gasoline

Flaring in Petroleum Refinery

The flaring process in oil refineries refers to the controlled and safe burning of the waste gases that are produced during various refining processes. By burning the hydrocarbon vapours the

Acid Gas in Petroleum Refinery

In petroleum refining, acid gas refers to a mixture of gases that form acids in a solution with water. The most common types of acid gas are carbon dioxide (CO2)

Tail Gas Treatment in Sulfur Recovery Unit

The Sulfur Recovery Unit (SRU) in a Petroleum Refinery is designed to remove H2S from sour gases originating in the various refinery processes and convert them to industrial-grade molten sulfur. The process

Hydrogen Purification Processes in Petroleum Refinery

Owing to the implementation of strong environmental regulations, utilization of heavy crudes and upgrading the bottom of the barrel, the requirement for hydrotreatment in petroleum refineries is increasing day by

Hydrogen Production in Petroleum Refineries

Hydrogen is a key feedstock in many refining operations associated with the production of cleaner gasoline and diesel products, as well as high-quality premium lubricant base oils. Crude oil continues

Sour Water Treatment in Petroleum Refinery

Sour water treatment in a petroleum refinery is a vital process that ensures the safe handling and disposal of water produced during the refining process. The water, known as sour

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
