Oil refineries Germany

DESUS A hydrotreating process developed and offered by VEB Petrolchemisches Kombinat Schwedt. Operated in the Schwedt oil refinery, Germany, since 1988. 

MAWR [Mobil alkanolamine waste recovery] A process which reduces the quantity of waste generated by alkanolamine processes, which remove acid gases from oil refinery gas streams. Developed by Mobil Oil, Germany, and used commercially there since 1979. 

A receptor model analysis in western Germany separated nitrate-rich from sulphate-rich secondary aerosols, with the latter being accompanied with vanadium and nickel [7]. Such factor composition pinpoints to heavy oil combustion sources which can be found, e.g. in oil refineries, off-shore platforms and overseas ships. In addition, trans-boundary pollution from eastern European countries is a significant source. 

BioMeteq A biological process for removing trace metals from oil refinery effluents. The effluent is passed upward through a continuous sand filter. A biofilm of bacteria on the sand particles reduces and precipitates the metals. An air blast scours the precipitates from the sand, which is washed and returned to the process. Developed by Paques BV, the Netherlands, and piloted in Germany in 2005 for removing uranium and selenium. 

Zinc blende, galena and copper pyrites are important raw material sources in the Federal Republic of Germany. These ores are utilized in the extraction of metals with sulfuric acid being produced as a byproduct, so-called metal acid. As a result of increased efforts in environmental protection, the proportion of recycled sulfuric acid e.g. from nitration reactions or oil refineries, has increased significantly in the last 20 years. 

Methods used in the reeyeling of plasties are deseribed, and details are given of a ehemieal reeyeling teehnique used by Veba Oel in its plant in Bottrop, Germany. This liquid phase hydrogenation proeess produees high quality synthetic oils, suitable for use as refinery feedstoeks, from mixtures of vaeuum distillation residues, serap plasties and other industrial wastes. 

The pie chart (Figure 1.3) shows that the major operations are in Germany France, the Benelux countries and the UK. Like the US cracking operations, which are near refineries, oil and gas producing facilities of Texas, Louisiana and the US Gulf, many of the EU... 

With the outbreak of hostilities, the German nitration business came to a halt, but petrol deliveries to Germany continued for a while, via Holland. When, after a few months, the British blockade and the policies of the Dutch government made these deliveries impossible. Royal Dutch continued to serve the German market until the end of the war with products from its Rumanian oil fields and refineries. ...

From 1974 until 1981, Krupp Koppers and Shell Oil were joint developers of what was then the Shell-Koppers coal gasification process. This development included a large (165-t/d) pilot plant at the Shell Oil Harburg refinery near Hamburg, Germany. When the partnership ended in June 1981, Shell continued its development of the Shell process (see Demonstration Technologies), and the Krupp Koppers effort evolved into the PRENFLO process.
