A patented membrane-distillation process is to be enhanced to allow treatment of oil-contaminated water using a SGD$ 400,000 (US$ 312,000) grant from the Environment & Water Industry Programme Office ...

Currently the typical way that crude oil is processed involves a fractional distillation column, in which heated crude oil is separated into the various hydrocarbon compounds using distinct boiling ...

Following installation of a new air-cooled condenser as part of its crude distillation unit's preflash tower overhead, a US Midwestern refinery began producing off-spec light naphtha that led to ...

Distribution characteristics of crude oils and crude oil fractions, as measured by ASTM D-2892, D-5236, D-86, D-2887, and D-1160, can be accurately described by Riazi's boiling point distribution ...

New membrane technology developed by a team of researchers could help reduce carbon emissions and energy intensity associated with refining crude oil. Laboratory testing suggests that this polymer ...
