Refined Petroleum Products

As discussed above, hydrocarbons (oil and gas) are used primarily as fuels to generate energy and for space heating. Refined petroleum products provide gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, lubricating oil, waxes, and asphalt. A relatively small (4%) portion of oil is used as raw material to produce chemical products essential to our everyday life ranging from plastics to textiles to pharmaceuticals, and so on. [Pg.23]


Groundwater. Spkls of refined petroleum product on land, and leaking underground storage tanks, sometimes contaminate groundwater. Bioremediation is becoming an increasingly popular treatment for such situations. [Pg.29]

Demand for refined petroleum products is expected to increase on the average by about 1.5% per year, which is slower than the expected growth of the economy. This slower rate of increase of demand will be due to increasing prices of petroleum products as a result of conservation, the development of substitutes for petroleum products, and rising costs of compliance with environmental and safety requirements. [Pg.82]

In addition to releases associated with the ordinary use of refined petroleum products as a fuel, ongoing research (Aheam et al. 1996) suggests that a variety of fungi found in ducts and insulation materials in homes or office buildings are capable of releasing gases that include -hexane. [Pg.189]

Very little information could be identified dealing with -hexane levels in sediments and soils. -Hexane has been identified among the contaminants in an offsite oilfield-disposal pit in New Mexico (Eiceman et al. 1986). Since w-hcxanc is a trace constituent of crude oil and natural gas, as well as a component of refined petroleum products, soil or sediment contamination with -hexane can be expected near oilfield production sites, large soil spills, slush pits and other areas around refineries, and in waste sites where petroleum products or other -hexane-containing wastes had been disposed. Detections would also be likely near many tank storage facilities, pipelines, truck or rail transfer sites, car repair facilities, automobile assembly or storage facilities, and auto and truck fueling facilities (DeLuchi 1993). [Pg.198]

Pipelines may be the least expensive way to deliver large quantities of hydrogen. Pipelines are the main choice for moving refined petroleum products across the country. They are less than 10% the cost of rail, road or water tankers. The U.S. has almost 200,000 miles of interstate pipelines for petroleum products. There is another 200,000 miles of interstate natural gas pipelines. [Pg.271]

A petroleum product is excluded even if it contains other listed hazardous substances provided that those substances were not added to the oil after the refining process, and are found at concentrations normally detected in crude oil or refined petroleum products. Just what is a petroleum product is important since such determination will decide if it meets the criteria for exclusion. The two issues are (1) is the material released a petroleum product, and (2) does it contain hazardous substances otherwise listed by the EPA, which limits the applicability of the exclusion to the release in question. The EPA in 1985 interpreted the petroleum exclusion to pertain to... [Pg.30]

Since that time, a variety of alternatives to refined petroleum products have been evaluated and used as fuels for internal combustion engines. Reasons for considering synthetic and alternative fuels stem from two primary motivating factors the need to ensure an adequate supply of low-cost fuel, and the desire to use fuel that bums completely and cleanly without undesirable exhaust emissions. [Pg.271]

Following the lead provided in 1942 and thereafter by truck gardeners in carrot (S) and parsnip (ff) fields, investigations were started in nursery weed control, involving use of some of the more highly refined petroleum products known as mineral spirits or petroleum spirits. Their common industrial uses are as cleaning naphthas, paint thinners, and solvents. Among trade names of products successfully used in weed control in forest nurseries are Stoddard solvent, Sovasol No. 5, Varsol, Stanisol, Shell solvent, and Sohio weed killer. [Pg.84]

Fuel Oils Refined petroleum products having specific gravities in the range of 0.85 to 0.98 and flash point temperatures above 55 °C. This includes auto diesel, industrial heating fuels, various bunker fuels, furnace fuels. Refer to Chapter 4 for specific examples and discussion of properties. Fuel Value Refers to the amount of potential energy that can be released by a fuel during combustion. Expressed in units of BTUs per pond of fuel. Examples are asphalt (17,158 BTU/lb typical value), LPG (18,000 BTU/lb), wood shavings (8,250 BTU/lb). [Pg.237]

It has been estimated that a specific conductivity of 103 picomho m-1 would provide an ample margin of safety against electrokinetic explosions for the handling of refined petroleum products. These authors also measured the concentrations of various additives needed to reach... [Pg.573]

Another interesting application of the data in Fig. 2.20 for dispersion coefficients in turbulent flow is in calculating the mixing that occurs in long pipelines. Many refined petroleum products are distributed by pipelines which may extend over hundreds of kilometres. The same pipeline is used to convey several different products, each... [Pg.97]
