Recently SINOPEC after having made a lot of progress in the area of oil refining at the molecular level has developed a new generation DMMC-1 type catalyst designed for the DCC process. The laboratory evaluation tests have shown that compared to the existing MMC-2 type catalyst that features the best comprehensive performance, the DMMC-1 type catalyst has increased the propylene yield by 2.2% with the propylene selectivity increased by 10%. The said catalyst has improved its ability for heavy oil cracking and coke selectivity along with reduction of olefin content in gasoline to achieve a better product distribution and improve the product quality. The results of application of the said catalyst in a 650-kt/a commercial DCC unit at SINOPEC Anqing Branch Company have revealed that the DMMC- 1 catalyst demonstrated an enhanced capability for heavy oil cracking and could increase the total liquid yield to 84.56 m% from 83.92 m%, the LPG yield to 38.90 m % from 34.60 m %, the propylene yield to 17.80 m% from 15.37 m% and the propylene concentration to 45.91 m% from 44.91 m%, and reduce the coke yield from 7.61 m% to 7.05 m% and the olefin content in gasoline from 42.3 v% to 37.5 v%, resulting in an incremental profit amounting to 52.19 million RMB a year. This technology has further upgraded and developed the DCC technology which has been commanding a leading position among the industry peers.展开更多

The products of the industry are the building blocks in many industries as they deepen the forward and backward linkages of the petroleum sector with the rest of the economy. The industry uses a variety of hydrocarbon feedstock such as different cuts of naphtha from refinery and natural gas. One of the problems facing the industry is lack of reliable feedstock supplies. Nigeria has the potential to be a major petrochemicals producer. With proven gas reserves currently estimated at 187 tcf, not much has been accomplished with respect to the effective exploitation and utilization of this resource as most of the nation＇s natural gas production has been flared, liquefied for export or re-injected to enhance greater crude oil recovery. It has become imperative to further find ways to exploit and utilize the nation＇s natural gas reserves and translate it to the improvement of the nation＇s economy. Steam reforming of natural gas is one of the avenues for conversion of natural gas to petrochemicals. This paper, however, reviews various ways of utilizing natural gas, examines the process details of steam reforming of natural gas as a route to optimized natural gas utilization and industrialization in Nigeria. Syngas （synthesis gas） is a versatile feedstock for most petrochemicals and chemical intermediates. Thus utilizing natural gas in this way would strengthen the petrochemical industry making it possible for the country to change from raw materials to value-added products supplier, boost the economy and solve the ＂hydra-headed＂ problem of unemployment in Nigeria with its multiplier employment effect.展开更多

The basin with its better source rock distribution and more favorable maturation indicators than the adjacent Moliqing and Luxiang Basins is expected to be a potential hydrocarbon-producing basin. Four (4) wells were used in determining the maturation hydrocarbon generating potential of the mudstone beds present in the Eocene Formations (Shuangyang, Sheling and Yongji). Obtained result revealed heat flow average of 71.8 mW/m<sup>2</sup>, oil generation between 3.15 mg/g TOC and 39.49 mg/g TOC with gas generation of 6.98 mg/g TOC to 92.83 mg/g TOC. In conclusion the Eocene Shuangyang mudstone is the main petroleum source rock.展开更多

The Chaluhe basin, as the focal point of this study has five subdivisions, thus, Bo-Tai sag, Wanchang Structural high, Liangjia Structure high Xinanpu sag, and the Gudian slope, with a cumulative sedimentary rock thickness of about 6000 metres. The basin is supposed to be a potential hydrocarbon-producing basin with its better source rock distribution and more favorable maturation indicators than the adjacent Luxiang and Moliqing Basin. Determining whether the mudstone beds present in the Eocene Formations are matured enough to generate hydrocarbons, three (3) wells with Seismic Lines (clh02, clh05 and clh07) were used for the study. It is observed that the entire region from NW to SE in the source rocks is mature to produce oil and gas. At depths of about 2400 m and below show good maturity with vitrinite reflectance values averaging 1.02% Ro. The Eocene Shuangyang mudstone is the main petroleum source rock.展开更多

A further aim is to determine the optimum conditions for the treatment of industrial wastewater effluents i.e. coagulant dosage, mixing rate, temperature and pH control. Under optimal condition of process parameters, coagulation/flocculation process was able to lower the turbidity well below the permissible level (1.8 NTU). The results indicate that ferric chloride had superior efficiency compared with other coagulants with efficient dose of 800 mg/l. The optimal initial pH of the effluents that enhanced the turbidity removal was 8.6. The temperature showed no significant effect on the turbidity removal.展开更多

The influence of microwave power, leaching time, leaching temperature, and NaOH concentration on the leaching efficiency of spent petrochemical catalyst was investigated. Under microwave-assisted conditions(600 W, 10 min, 90°C, 2.0 mol·L^(-1) NaOH, and 0.20 g·mL^(-1) solid–liquid ratio), the leaching efficiencies of V and Mo reached 94.35% and 96.23%, respectively. It has been confirmed that microwave energy has considerable potential to enhance the efficiency of the leaching process and reduce the leaching time. It is suggested that the enhancement of the leaching efficiencies of V and Mo can be attributed to the existence of a thermal gradient between solid and liquid and the generation of cracks on the mineral surface.展开更多
