Oklahoma State University A paper presented at the International Petroleum Environment Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico, 1998 ABSTRACT In this work, an overview of oil-water separation, as used in the petroleum refining industries, is presented along with case studies. Discussions include: impact of solids, legal aspects, and differing types of systems currently in use, along with their advantages and disadvantages. Performance information on separators is presented with an emphasis on new multiple angle coalescing plate technology for refinery wastewater management. Several studies are presented including a large (20,000 US GPM flow rate) system recently installed at a major US refinery. The separator was constructed by converting two existing API separators into four separators, and adding multiple angle coalescing plates to increase throughput and efficiency. A year of operating experience with this system indicates good performance and few problems. Other examples provide information on separators installed in the United States and other countries. Keywords: Oil-water separator, multiple angle, coalescence, refinery, wastewater management, petroleum, coalescing plate technology BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION Oil has been refined for various uses for at least 1000 years. An Arab handbook written by Al-Razi, in approximately 865 A.D., describes distillation of “naft” (naphtha) for use in lamps and thus the beginning of oil refining (Forbes).

Abstract: The active components in garlic essential oil are easily degradable, which limits its ap- plication in the food industry. Vegetable oils (VOs) were used to improve the stability of garlic essential oil (GEO) emulsion. The volatile compounds of GEO and its mixtures with vegetable oils (VOs), including corn oil (CO), soybean oil (SO), and olive oil (OO) indicated that GEO-VO mixtures had a higher percentage of Diallyl disulfide and Diallyl trisulfide than pure GEO. Adding an appropriate amount of VOs promoted the GEO emulsion (whey protein concentrate and inulin as Citation: Zhao, Y.; Liu, R.; Qi, C.; Li, the wall materials) stability in order of CO > SO > OO.

Substances that differ in volatility appear in different proportions in vapor and liquid phases at equilibrium with one another. Thus, vaporizing part of a volatile liquid produces vapor and liquid products that differ in composition. This outcome constitutes a separation among the components in the original liquid. Through appropriate configurations of repeated vapor­liquid contactings, the degree of separation among components differing in volatility can be increased manyfold. See also: Phase equilibrium (/content/phase­equilibrium/505500) Distillation is by far the most common method of separation in the petroleum, natural gas, and petrochemical industries. Its many applications in other industries include air fractionation, solvent recovery and recycling, separation of light isotopes such as hydrogen and deuterium, and production of alcoholic beverages, flavors, fatty acids, and food oils.

  • A Marine Waste Biorefinery
    A Marine Waste Biorefinery A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at Newcastle University by Ahmed Said Hamed Al Hatrooshi November 2019 Abstract Biodiesel is a renewable alternative to ‘petro-diesel’. There is already an established, conventional production technology based on refined vegetable oils. However, this is always more expensive than producing petroleum-based diesel, mainly due to the feedstock cost. Use of a cheap, non- edible feedstock, such as waste shark liver oil (WSLO), would reduce the biodiesel production cost and make the process economically viable. WSLO is obtained by exposing sharks’ livers to the sun until they melt and collecting the oil produced. Sharks’ livers comprise 25-30% of their body weight. Historically, the discarded WSLO was used for waterproofing wooden boats. However, this application is no longer required, as modern boats are made of fibreglass. The excess WSLO derived from these discarded sharks’ livers has great potential for being further processed into valuable products, including biodiesel, squalene and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), such as eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA). The glyceride components of the WSLO can be converted into biodiesel using existing biodiesel processing technologies, while the squalene, EPA and DHA may be extracted and sold as value-added products through biorefinery processes. This study investigated the production of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) from WSLO using both acid (sulfuric acid, H2SO4) and base (sodium hydroxide, NaOH) catalysts. Due to the high levels of free fatty acids (FFA) in WSLO, homogeneous alkali-catalysed transesterification was less effective than the acid-catalysed process, resulting in a maximum WSLO to FAME conversion of only 40% after 15 min at a 60°C temperature, a 1.5 wt.% of NaOH catalyst and a 6:1 molar ratio of methanol to WSLO.

Chemical Engineering School/Separation Process Development Laboratory (LDPS) State University of Campinas – CP 6066 – CEP 13081-970 – Campinas – SP – Brazil E-mail: [email protected] Molecular distillation is a potential process for separation, purification and/or concentration of natural products, usually constituted by complex and thermally sen- sitive molecules, such as vitamins. Furthermore, this process has advantages over other techniques that use solvents as the separating agent, avoiding problems of toxi- city. This process is characterized by short exposure of the distilled liquid to high temperatures, by high vacuum (around 1024 mmHg) in the distillation space and by a small distance between the evaporator and the condenser (around 2 cm). The pro- ductivity of the process is high, considering the concentration of high added value compounds. In this work, the molecular distillation process was applied to enrich borage oil in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and also to recover tocopherols from deo- dorizer distillate of soybean oil (DDSO), since these are components of interest for food and pharmaceutical industries. KEYWORDS: gamma-linolenic acid, vitamin E, molecular distillation, deodorizer distillate of soybean oil, borrage oil INTRODUCTION Molecular distillation shows potential in the separation, purification and/or concentration of natural products, usually constituted by complex and thermally sensitive molecules, such as vitamins and polyunsaturated fatty acids, because it can minimize losses by thermal decomposition.

(USA) Online ISSN: 2249-4596 Print ISSN:0975-5861 Design and Feasibility Analysis of Commercial Silver-Based Solvent Extraction of Omega-3 Pufa By Kirubanandan Shanmugam, Andrew Neima & Adam A. Donaldson Dalhousie University, Canada Abstract- Afish oil processing facility was designed and evaluated for the annual extraction of 2.5 ktonnes of Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids from 18/12EE fish oils by liquid-liquid solvent extraction through the use of a silver-based solvent. Using experimentally derived extraction efficiencies obtained with commercial 18/12EE fish oil, a plug-flow reactor configuration is proposed to significantly reduce silver solvent inventory requirements relative to conventional batch processes, corresponding to an initial capital reduction of ~$40 million at this scale. Evaluation of the proposed facilityresulted in capital costs of $4.9 million, annual operating costs of $7.7million, and a yearly gross revenue of $21.0 million. Considering the expensive solvent used, the profitability of the proposed process is highly dependent on the amount of solvent required to fill the vessels, and on the recovery efficiency following de-complexation of the Omega-3 and silver ions. Depending on market conditions, a number of recovery methods are discussed and evaluated, with specific emphasis placed on chemical, thermal or electrolytic methods. Keywords: EPA/DHA, fish oils, solvent extraction, silver, omega-3, processdesign, solvent inventory.

    Chapter 15. Gravity Separation IS. INTRODUCTION Separation by density difference is a process that is as old as recorded history. Separation of gold by density difference dates back to at least 3,000 BC as depicted in writings from ancient Egypt. The principle employed in gravity separation goes back further in time to the formation and weathering of the rocks and the releasing of the minerals they contain and the transport of the mineral grains by heavy rains. It is the driving force for the formation of the alluvial deposits of precious metals and gemstones that have been worked since beyond recorded history as they still are today. Archaeological excavations have discovered mineral concentration activities such as the lead-silver concentrating plant in Attica, Greece, dating from 300-400 BC. So gravity separation has a long history as a mineral concentration process. Not all mineral combinations are amenable to this type of concentration technique. To determine the suitability of gravity separation processes to a particular ore type, a concentration criterion is commonly used. A concentration criterion (CC) can be defined as [1]: „ . „. SG of heavy mineral-SG of fluid ,<-,.. Concentration Criterion = (15.1) SG of light mineral - SG of fluid where SG = specific gravity (or density), and the fluid is typically water or air. Some concentration criterion ratios for minerals that are treated by gravity separation are given in Table 15.1. Table 15.1 Concentration criterion for some common minerals separated by gravity separation from a gangue of density 2650 kg/m3 Mineral Fluid CC Gold water 10.3 Gold air 6.8 Cassiterite water 3.5 Coal water 3.4 Hematite water 2.5 A guideline for separability by gravity based on this concentration criterion is given in Table 15.2.
