What is condensate used for? Condensates are used as refinery feedstocks for the manufacture of products such as petrol (gasoline), jet fuel, diesel and heating fuels. Some condensates, particularly those with a high paraffin content, are used for the manufacture of ethylene. What gas is condensate? Gas condensate is a hydrocarbon liquid stream separated from natural gas and …
What is LPG? Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is the liquefied form of petroleum gases released during the extraction of crude oil and natural gas or during the refining of crude oil. The primary components of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are propane, butane, propylene, butylene, and isobutane. LPG The process provided by this invention can produce high yields of LPG rich in …
What is Gasoline? Gasoline is a mixture of hydrocarbon chain molecules with between around 6 to 10 carbons atoms, in a bell curve centered around 8 carbon atoms (octanes). All those molecules aren’t just straight carbon chains. Instead, they’re in all sorts of configurations (isomers), which results in the gasoline behaving differently depending on its particular mixture of isomers. Performance …
What is Naphtha? Naphtha is a general term that has been used for over two thousand years to refer to flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixtures. Mixtures labeled naphtha have been produced from natural gas condensates, petroleum distillates, and the distillation of coal tar and peat. It is used diversely in different industries and regions to refer to gross products like crude or refined products such as kerosene. …
Description of Gasoil Gasoil is a hydrocarbon oil used as a fuel oil. especially: a petroleum distillate intermediate in boiling range and viscosity between kerosene and lubricating oil. Gasoil sits within the diesel fuel family, of which there are two primary types: White Gasoil White diesel is what is usually referred to as gasoil because of its use …
fuel oil CST 280 and 380 Fuel oils and other middle distillate petroleum fuel oil, e.g. fuel oil , contain small amounts of hydrocarbon waxes which tend to precipitate in large interlocking crystals at low temperatures. These hydrocarbon waxes are largely normal paraffin. This interlocking of the crystals sets up a gel structure which causes the fuel oil to lose its …
What is a crude oil? Crude oil, Over millions of years, the remains of these plants and animals were crushed and heated between layers of rocks and sand until they became underground pools of oil. We call this oil “crude oil” because it is not yet refined for use. Crude oil means a mixture of …
