Processing of Oil Residues

Abstract

At present, the global oil refining industry has a wide range of installations that deepen oil refining, as well as refining processes to improve the quality of oil fractions. One of the main directions in the development of oil refining technology in industrialized countries is the widespread development of new processes that improve the environmental characteristics of motor fuels. In recent years, refineries around the world have mastered technologies that make it possible to reduce the content of aromatic and olefinic hydrocarbons in motor gasolines, such as hydrogenation and alkylation of benzene-containing fractions, esterification and oligomerization of olefin-containing fractions, as well as technologies aimed at removing sulfur and aromatic hydrocarbons from diesel fuels, mainly by hydrogenation.
