LQ2 Petroleum Refining and Processing Industry Flashcards
Remove salts, water, and solids from the oil-water emulsion (crude oil)
Desalting
are chemical compounds that decrease the
surface tension or interfacial tension between two liquids, a liquid and a gas, or a liquid and a solid. It may function as emulsifiers, wetting agents,
detergents, foaming agents, or dispersants.
Surfactants
undergoes heat exchange with the residue
Atmospheric distillation of crude oil
It is discharged to the distillation tower as a foaming stream.
Atmospheric distillation
Remove impurities S, N, & O using Hydrogen and a Catalyst
Hydrotreatment
Impurities are converted into
hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and water
Process of removing H2S and CO2 through gas absorption
Sweetening/Amine treating
Converts heavy hydrocarbon molecules to lighter hydrocarbon molecules
for gasoline using a catalyst to break the carbon-carbon bonds.
Cracking
Use Hydrogen to break down heavy hydrocarbons into lighter molecules.
hydrocracking
Convert light hydrocarbons to high-octane gasoline blending components
(alkylate)
Alkylation
rearrange straight-chain hydrocarbons into branched isomers (isomerates)
Isomerization
A unit operation to mix components for optimal use of all streams to make
products for the market.
Blending
90% Propane + 10% Butane
Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG)
Highest proportion of products (~45%) from a barrel of crude oil
Gasoline (Petrol)
Fuel for large combustion diesel engines (trains, trucks, boats), construction &
agriculture equipment
Diesel
Clear to yellow, light-medium weight, distillate fuel
Kerosene
the largest oil refining and marketing company in the Philippines.
Petron corporation
The recent closure of Pilipinas Shell’s
Tabangao Refinery was primarily driven by a combination of economic and
market factors; one key factor is the regional refining margins
Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation
responsible for coordinating the country’s oil and gas exploration and
development efforts
Philippine National Oil Company
Caltex, the joint venture between Chevron and Texaco operates import facility in
Batangas, Philippines.
Caltex
has emerged as a prominent
investment holding company, guided by a commitment to strategic growth,
sustainability, and community empowerment.
