Use in petroleum industry

E.g. in the so-called "pseudo-equilibrium model, developed by Sylvester [53-56], the same design procedure is used as in a single phase catalytic gas phase reaction, where the mass transfer resistance is replaced by a suitable overall term. Bulk flow and dispersion of the liquid phase are neglected and the whole transport mechanisms are lumped into the equilibrium of the reactant concentrations between gas-, liquid- and particle phase. It is an application of the same principle used successfully in fluid/fluid reactions [57], But the necessary precondition is that the rate of reaction is slow compared to the transfer rate across the phase boundaries, so that equilibrium can really by assured. This might be justified in some of the hydrotreating processes, but certainly not in case of an aqueous liquid phase, existing in waste water treating. Earlier models used in petroleum industry have taken in-...

Patty amines and chemical products derived from the amines are used in many industries. Uses for the nitrogen derivatives may be broken down as follows as a percentage of total market fabric softeners (46%), oil field chemicals (15%), asphalt emulsifiers (10%), petroleum additives (10%), mining (4%), and others (15%) (8). 

This standard could be adapted to the fuel compressor for the natural gas to be brought up to the injection pressure required for the gas turbine. Covers the minimum requirements for reciprocating compressors and their drivers used in petroleum, chemical, and gas industry services for handling process air or gas with either lubricated or nonlubricated cylinders. Compressors covered by this standard are of moderate-to-low speed and in critical services. The nonlubricated cylinder types of compressors are used for injecting fuel in gas turbines at the high pressure needed. Also covered are related lubricating systems, controls, instrumentation, intercoolers, after-coolers, pulsation suppression devices, and other auxiliary equipment. 

The austenitic cast irons are in widespread use in many industries (food, pharmaceutical, petroleum, chemical, petrochemical, pulp and paper, etc.) in mildly corrosive and erosive situations where the life of unalloyed or low-alloy cast iron or steel is short, but the high cost of stainless steel and nonferrous alloys cannot be justified. 

Pipelines have a long history. In ancient times, pipelines were used for water transport. Examples are still visible in archeologic areas. However, it is clear that these early constructions could not bear large pressures. The advent of gas pipelines started between 1820 and 1830 with the distribution of town gas. Nowadays pipelines are indispensable in petroleum industries for the transport of various materials, including natural gas, crude oil of various types, and refined products. 

Acidic micro- and mesoporous materials, and in particular USY type zeolites, are widely used in petroleum refinery and petrochemical industry. Dealumination treatment of Y type zeolites referred to as ultrastabilisation is carried out to tune acidity, porosity and stability of these materials [1]. Dealumination by high temperature treatment in presence of steam creates a secondary mesoporous network inside individual zeolite crystals. In view of catalytic applications, it is essential to characterize those mesopores and to distinguish mesopores connected to the external surface of the zeolite crystal from mesopores present as cavities accessible via micropores only [2]. Externally accessible mesopores increase catalytic effectiveness by lifting diffusion limitation and facilitating desorption of reaction products [3], The aim of this paper is to characterize those mesopores by means of catalytic test reaction and liquid phase breakthrough experiments. 

It is also being used widely in petroleum industry. 

Feedstock petroleum as it is fed to the refinery a refinery product that is used as the raw material for another process the term is also generally applied to raw materials used in other industrial processes. 

This standard covers the minimum requirements for centrifugal pumps, including pumps rurming in reverse as hydraulic power recovery mrbines, for use in petroleum, heavy-duty chemical, and gas industry services. 

This standard is based on the accumulated knowledge and experience of manufacmrers and users of ceutrifugal pumps. The objective of this standard is to provide a piuchase specification to facilitate the manufacture and procurement of centrifugal pumps for use in petroleum, chemical, and gas industry services. 

Chlorinated ethanes are chemical compounds of the general structure C2HxCl x(X 5) and are widely used in the industrial world as solvents, chemical intermediates, cleaning fluids, fumigants, and for numerous other purposes including uses in petroleum-refining. Likewise,.the chemicals in the class of compounds known as polychlorinated biphenyls Cl (2< < 10) (PCBs) have...

This reaction was first used in petroleum reformation for the synthesis of higher olefins (Shell higher olefin process - SHOP), with nickel catalysts under high pressure and high temperatures. Nowadays, even polyenes with MW > 250,000 are produced industrially in this way.
