  • Technip Awarded a Services Contract for a Hydrodesulphurization Unit in Germany
    Technip awarded a services contract for a hydrodesulphurization unit in Germany December 7, 2007 Paris, December 7, 2007 Technip has been awarded by Total an engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) services contract, worth approximately €90 million, for a new kerosene hydrodesulphurization* unit. This unit will be built in the Leuna refinery, located near Leipzig, Germany. The contract covers the implementation of a new hydrotreating unit at low pressure. The unit will produce 120 tons per hour of kerosene and light diesel oil, in compliance with the German light heating oil sulphur specification of 50 parts per million. Technip's operating center in Düseldorf (Germany) will execute the contract, which is scheduled to be completed in October 2009. This award marks a new step in the collaboration between Technip and Total in Germany, for whom Technip has already carried out the basic engineering for this project and is currently performing engineering, procurement and construction services in the Leuna refinery. _______ * Hydrodesulphurization is a catalytic refining technology consisting in extracting sulphur contained in a petroleum product either to protect downstream unit catalysts or to maintain sulphur content at the level prescribed by the European norm intended to reduce transportation-related air pollution. * * * With a workforce of 22,000 people, Technip ranks among the top five corporations in the field of oil, gas and petrochemical engineering, construction and services. The Group is headquartered in Paris. The Group's main operating centers and business units are located in France, Italy, Germany, the UK, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, the USA, Brazil, Abu-Dhabi, China, India, Malaysia and Australia.

  • What's the Difference Between Gasoline, Kerosene, Diesel, Etc?
    What's the difference between gasoline, kerosene, diesel, etc? Browse the article What's the difference between gasoline, kerosene, diesel, etc? The "crude oil" pumped out of the ground is a black liquid called petroleum. This liquid contains aliphatic hydrocarbons, or hydrocarbons composed of nothing but hydrogen and carbon. The carbon atoms link together in chains of different lengths. It turns out that hydrocarbon molecules of different lengths have different properties and behaviors. For example, a chain with just one carbon atom in it (CH4) is the lightest chain, known as methane. Methane is a gas so light that it floats like helium. As the chains get longer, they get heavier. The first four chains -- CH4 (methane), C2H6 (ethane), C3H8 (propane) and C4H10 (butane) -- are all gases, and they boil at -161, -88, -46 and -1 degrees F, respectively (-107, -67, -43 and -18 degrees C). The chains up through C18H32 or so are all liquids at room temperature, and the chains above C19 are all solids at room temperature. So what's the real chemical difference between gasoline, kerosene and diesel? It has to do with their boiling points. Carbon Chains in Petroleum Products The different chain lengths have progressively higher boiling points, so they can be separated out by distillation. This is what happens in an oil refinery -- crude oil is heated and the different chains are pulled out by their vaporization temperatures. (See How Oil Refining Works for details.) The chains in the C5, C6 and C7 range are all very light, easily vaporized, clear liquids called naphthas.

  • Stoddard Solvent 9
    STODDARD SOLVENT 9 2. HEALTH EFFECTS 2.1 INTRODUCTION The primary purpose of this chapter is to provide public health officials, physicians, toxicologists, and other interested individuals and groups with an overall perspective of the toxicology of Stoddard solvent and a depiction of significant exposure levels associated with various adverse health effects. It contains descriptions and evaluations of studies and presents levels of significant exposure for Stoddard solvent based on toxicological studies and epidemiological investigations. Stoddard solvent is a mixture of numerous hydrocarbons derived by refining crude oil. It is a petroleum distillate with a boiling range of 154-202°C and a flashpoint of 38-60°C. The hydrocarbon chain length ranges from C7 to C12 although a form of Stoddard solvent called 140 flash contains C5 and C6 hydrocarbons as well. The mixture consists of three major groups of components: linear and branched alkanes, also known as paraffins (30-50% of the total mixture); cycloalkanes, also called cycloparaffins or naphthenes (not to be confused with naphthalenes which are bicyclic aromatics) (30-40%), and aromatic hydrocarbons (l0-20%). A complete list of the individual components of Stoddard solvent is not available (Air Force 1989b); however, some possible components and common hydrocarbon classes are presented in Chapter 3. Data are available on the health effects of the various components of Stoddard solvent, but discussion of individual constituents is beyond the scope of the profile. Exposure to Stoddard solvent and white spirits, a somewhat synonymous substance, is discussed in this profile. Stoddard solvent is also considered to be a form of mineral spirits, white spirits, and naphtha; however, not all forms of mineral spirits, white spirits, or naphtha are considered to be Stoddard solvent.
