What is h Oil?
ABSTRACT. The H-Oil® Process is a catalytic hydrocracking process, invented by HRI, Inc., a division of IFP Enterprises, Inc. which is used to convert and upgrade petroleum residua and heavy oils.
What does catalyst loading mean?
With a high catalyst loading, the reaction reached equilibrium quickly, and the reversibility of the reaction means that the enantioselectivity is eroded to produce a racemic product. At low catalyst loading, the reaction does not reach equilibrium and remains under kinetic control with high enantioselectivity.
What is No 2 fuel oil?
2 Fuel oil. No. 2 Diesel Fuel: A fuel that has a distillation temperature of 640 degrees Fahrenheit at the 90-percent recovery point and meets the specifications defined in ASTM Specification D 975. It is used in high-speed diesel engines, such as those in railroad locomotives, trucks, and automobiles.
How is catalyst loaded?
Historically the catalyst has been loaded using a conventional ‘dense’ loading method in order to minimise flow maldistribution and improve the catalyst performance. However, the loading was identified as one of the key process variables and as such AkzoNobel were looking for improved control in this area.
How do I figure out how much catalyst I need?
follow this: it’s easy. as we only need it for comparative studies, so no need to be confused. make it simple, catalyst wt(g) / R1 (g) + R2(g) + Catalyst wt(g) = wt % of catalyst used in the reaction.
Is white diesel better than red diesel?
Red diesel is different from white or “road” diesel in two ways: its colour, and the rate at which it’s taxed. Chemically, the two fuels are identical, and release identical levels of greenhouse gasses when burned.
Are diesel and No 2 fuel oil the same?
#2 Fuel Oil Diesel fuel and #2 fuel oil are virtually the same fuel in terms of chemical composition. The main difference lies in their intended use. #2 fuel oil enjoys a tax-free status to keep prices low and help people heat their homes. This is an essential need in winter, after all.
What is hydrocracking catalyst?
Hydrocracking is a catalytic chemical process used in petroleum refineries for converting the high-boiling hydrocarbons in petroleum to low-boiling products such as gasoline, kerosene, jet fuel and diesel oil.
Why is hydrocracking used?
Hydrocracking is usually performed on heavy gas oils and residues, to remove feed contaminants (nitrogen, sulfur, metals) and to convert them into lighter fractions including diesel gasoils.
How do you store catalysts?
STORE IN ORIGINAL CONTAINER IN A COOL PLACE. For maximun shelf life storage temperature should be below 85O F (29O C). If peroxide freezes, thaw at room temperature. Do not apply heat.
What is sock loading of catalyst?
Sock-loading method The sock is attached to a loading hopper or funnel at the reactor inlet, which discharges the catalyst through the sock upon the bed surface in a manner which prevents the individual cylinders from finding a stable, horizontal rest position.
What makes a good catalyst?
A good catalyst needs to adsorb the reactant molecules strongly enough for them to react, but not so strongly that the product molecules stick more or less permanently to the surface. Silver, for example, isn’t a good catalyst because it doesn’t form strong enough attachments with reactant molecules.
