Thermally Stabilized Oil Production

Articles

In most cases oil storage and heating is accompanied by occurrence of additional moisture.  Fuel oil containing water lead to disruption of combustion mode, contamination of heating surfaces, incomplete fuel burning, formations of unburned coke and  deposits of particles along the gas passage.  Furthermore, the use of such raw materials may cause flameouts and emergency stopping of the equipment.

The best solution, to avoid the negative effects listed above, is a preliminary preparation of fuel oil for combustion.  The essence of this approach is to provide a uniformly distributed fine fraction of moisture in fuel oil due to the destruction of quasicrystalline structures.

GlobeCore has developed USB plants for the production of water-fuel emulsions (including hydrostabilized fuel oil) from normal and degraded fuel oil, waste oil, diesel and furnace oil, crude oil and oil refinery waste.

Hydrostabilized fuel oil is synthetic fuel consisting of two liquids that are insoluble in each other.  It was hypothesized that burning of water-oil emulsion can improve quality parameters of combustion process as well as reduce the amount of toxic emissions.  To confirm this hypothesis, it was necessary to solve the following problems:

  • to determine technical and economic performance of boiler units M 100 using fuel oil and hydro stabilized fuel;
  • to determine the quantity of hydrocarbons, sulfur and nitrogen oxides emissions for each tested fuel type during operation at different loads.

The corresponding experiments were carried out for DE 16-14 GM boiler unit.

Hydrostabilized fuel 11.25 14.19 15.42 16.5

After analyzing the data obtained, we can make the following conclusions.  The use of hydrostabilized fuel, prepared with the help of GlobeCore USB plants, allows  to:

1) increase the economic efficiency of a boiler unit.  Hydrostabilized fuel oil is not only as good as conventional furnace fuel oil, but it outperforms it;

2) reduce the amount of pollutants:

  • nitrogen dioxide, by 23%;
  • sulfur dioxide, by 26%;
  • carbon monoxide, by 84%;
  • suspended solids, by 87%.

Moreover, the use of hydrostabilized fuel oil, produced with GlobeCore equipment, also allows to receive a number of additional benefits:

  1. increase the service life of boiler equipment;
  2. ensure reliable operation of a boiler when original fuel oil is watered;
  3. exclude settling and draining operations from your fuel preparation technology;
  4. reduce the intensity of low-temperature sulfuric acid corrosion of your equipment;
  5. use fuel oil of lower quality in order to generate heat.

USB hydrostabilized fuel oil preparation plants are successfully used by the representatives of heating and power complex – boiler houses, central heating stations, etc.

Independent production of antifreeze in the conditions of the domestic market

Articles

Antifreeze is a cooling liquid which protects motors from overheating.

Antifreeze, just as any other liquid, can be made using the USB blending units. Their versatility and quality of production make it possible to implement any technology and formulation to improve the process.

Production of antifreeze includes several stages. A concentrate is prepared, which consists of high quality ethylene-glycol and several additives. After many stages of concentrate purification it is diluted with clean water without contaminants. The antifreeze is then supplied to bottling through filters.

Using the USB units simplifies the process by running it on one piece of equipment. The USB is equipped with special portioning devices, filters, pumps and piping to supply components. Mixing proportion is set according to the formulation using the control panel. Besides, the USB is equipped with temperature sensors and a semi-automatic control system. The operator can fully control the process.

Antifreeze may contain more than 40 components. A balanced choice of additives is very important. The additives often include corrosion inhibitors, anti-foaming agents, stabilizers etc), which are accurately and precisely mixed with the liquid in the USB unit.

Generally, antifreeze coolant is a water solution of ethylene glycol, used to maintain normal temperature in internal combustion engines. It includes a number of special anti-foaming and anti-corrosion additives. They improve the operation of the cooling system; antifreeze is also used in various heat exchange equipment.

High quality USB type blending units allow any facility to satisfy its demand for coolants by own production independent of suppliers, conditions and prices.

Global Perspectives of Gasoline and Ethanol Consumption and Production

Fuel blending

In recent years, the international community has been discussing the use of  alternative energy sources.  In the last century and now both oil and gas are still the main sources of energy and the issue of reducing the volume of their use should be addressed virtually in every country.

Experts predict that in 2016-2017 oil demand will grow slowly.  At the same time, the increase in demand for “black gold” will also promote the consumption of fuel ethanol as the most feasible alternative to crude oil.

Compared to 2015, in the coming years the world economy demand for oil  will increase by 1.8 million barrels per day and  will amount to 98.8 million barrels per day as a whole.  The United States which, for example, in 2015 consumed 19.4 million barrels of oil per day, stands out among the largest oil consumers in the world.

Fig. 1 shows the oil-products yield from one barrel of oil.

In recent decades, the oil refining industry has witnessed significant structural and technological transformation. In particular, the total percentage of such processes as catalytic cracking, hydrocracking,  visbreaking thermal cracking, coking, catalytic reforming, alkylation and isomerization in the petroleum refining industry has grown to 50%. Simultaneously there has been a tightening of environmental regulations for motor fuels.  The following materials have been considered as the alternatives to traditional fuels:

  • reformulated gasolines.  These are oil-products with modified composition and characteristics, ensuring environmental safety;
  • unleaded high-octane gasolines;
  • alternative types of fuel (oxygenated gasolines, gasolines with ethanol).

It is well known that gasoline is one of the most qualified and expensive energy resource.  To get this oil-product, it is necessary to apply a set of processes of primary and secondary oil processing, as well as special additives.  This  produces gasolines corresponding modern requirements in their composition and quality.  To improve their environmental properties, it is recommended to add oxygenated ethers and ethanol to gasolines.  The most common additives are:

  • methyl tert- butyl ether (MTBE);
  • ethyl tert- butyl ether (ETBE);
  • ethanol;
  • methyl tert- amyl ether (MTBE).

In 2015, 1,000 million tons of gasoline was used worldwide.  The biggest consumer of this oil-product is the United States (about 40% of total consumption volume).  Asia and Pacific countries are running second to the US – 21.6% of world gasoline consumption volume (almost half of it is used by China and Japan).  The countries of Western and Eastern Europe consume 17%.  The largest increase in the dynamics of gasoline consumption was observed in China – 46.9%.

As at the beginning of 2015, there were registered 636 oil refining factories in the world with a total capacity of 4.63 billion tons of oil per year.

In recent years, European gasoline component composition was as follows: Fuel catalytic cracking  to produce gasoline – 30%, catalytic reforming for high octane gasoline – 50%, alkylated products – 5%, isomerization products – 8%, additives – 7%.

Experts point out that among the European manufacturers Germany has the most successful component composition of gasoline.

Today in Europe there is EN 228 standard, specify norms for ethanol mixtures.  According to EN228,  Euro 5 (European emission standard) for gasoline is: Aromatics (35%), Benzene (1%), Olefins (18%), Oxygen (3,7%), Sulphur (10.0 mg/kg).

The document is periodically reviewed for the content of ethanol in mixtures from E5 to E10.  From 2007, the E85 gasoline standard (benzene – 15% ethanol – 85%) began to officially operate in France and Austria, and from 2008 – in Germany.  Generally speaking, today about 40 countries already use E85 gasoline standard.  In addition to general standards, European Union countries also have internal standards for ethanol mixtures, corresponding in quality to general standards.

The following symbols are used to indicate bioethanol and mixed gasolines.  First comes letter E (for «ethanol»), and then a figure showing the percentage of ethanol in the fuel.  According to statistics, the most common mixtures are: E5, E10 and E85.  In some countries, particularly in Brazil, pure ethanol E100 is used.

There are 149 oil refining factories across the US with total capacity of 872 million tons, accounting for 20.5% of global oil refining.  The US gasoline blendstock is : catalytic cracking gasoline – 34%, reforming gasoline – 28%, alkylate – 12%, isomerate – 4%, additives – 15%, and others – 7%.

Today the production of biofuels (including bioethanol) is connected with preserving the environment and a fight against global warming, which requires switching using oil and gas to alternative renewable types of fuel.

Homogenized Fuel Production

Fuel blending

Homogenised fuel has better consumer properties, good combustion characteristics, improves efficient performance of the machine, does not carburise  motors or boilers, and causes less polluting emissions.  And, last but not least, as a result it saves itself.

What  makes homogenized fuel better than ordinary fuel?

In addition to hydrocarbons, the composition of conventional diesel fuel also includes water molecules, paraffins, organic sulfur compounds and mechanical impurities.  Most of the molecules in this case are in a bound state.  At ignition of fuel mixture, the combustion processes begins on the active side of molecules.  But in contact with  water  molecules the flow of combustion decelerates. Paraffins and sulfur do not completely combust.  As a result – the combustion slows down, which gives rise to toxic waste and causes coking/ carburization.

The more uniformly the fuel composition is dispersed, the more positive effects it achieves, such as:

  • breaking of polymer chains of organic fuel and generation of active sides of molecules.  Active sides enter into oxidation processes much faster and simultaneously;
  • breaking of molecular linkage to form free radicals that get inflamed better than closed molecules;
  • destruction of polymer chains of water into free ions H+ and OH-.  Such ions are more actively involved in combustion process and form unstable, easily oxidized compounds with free radicals of organic fuel;
  • sulfur and paraffins form surfactants that isolate emulsion microparticles and do not allow further clumping.

Emulsified mixtures combust evenly and are economically consumed.  They emit 2-3 times less harmful substances during combustion than conventional fuels.  Among the variety of technical equipment for fuel homogenization that is available on the market – the most effective are: cavitation emulsifiers, homogenizers, dispersants or cavitators – with cavitation processes being most cost effective and efficient.

To achieve the best effect, fuel mix should have a high level of dispersion, be homogeneous and not flake for a few months.  All of the listed effects are achieved with the use of GlobeCore USB hydrodynamic mixer with capacity  5 to 150 m3/h.

These devices obtain homogeneous fuel compositions that do not flake for a long time.

For example, cavitation effect converts black oil into homogeneous emulsion in which light and heavy fractions, bitumen and water particles are perfectly mixed.  This improves operation of burner nozzles.  As a result of this, nozzles are less coked/carburized; the amount of soot decreases and flame becomes uniform and does not pulsate.  The negative impact of water is neutralized completely.

Costly sorts of black oil can be replaced with low-grade ones while retaining all the physical-mechanical fuel characteristics (combustion heat, viscosity, etc.).

Application of USB hydrodynamic homogenizers/ blenders

GlobeCore USB hydrodynamic homogenizers restore and improve the properties of stale and watered black oil, produce light oil, achieve complete combustion of black oil in boilers and marine engines, obtain furnace fuel from sludge and completely clean the external walls of boiler collectors.  The overall savings with USB homogenizers amounts up to 20% when using black oil and 15% when using light fuel.

Homogenizers obtain different mixtures of dual fuel (DF): black oil and production waste, black oil and coal tar, coal-water fuel, biofuel.  They also prepare a variety of liquid waste for effective utilization at heat and power stations.

Perfection in cooling – production of antifreeze

Articles

According to online sources, antifreeze is a liquid which does not freeze at low temperatures. These liquids are used in equipment operating at such temperatures, for cooling of internal combustion engines or for de-icing in aviation. Antifreeze is a mix of water, ethylene-glycol, propylene-glycol, glycerine and various additives.

Antifreezes are widely used due to their properties, moreover, antifreeze is necessary. For instance, a cooling liquid (antifreezing) is necessary to cool down car engines which must not heat above 85°C. Antifreeze helps to maintain the temperature conditions of the engine for higher power and fuel economy, also extending engine life and preserving parts from wear.

Among the main parameters of antifreeze liquid are density (defines crystallization temperature), activeness of hydrogen ions (indicates the presence of alkaline components in the additive) and the anti-foaming additive.

Selling own product or using it for own needs is a lot more profitable than buying materials, fuel and resell it or use in own production. This lowers the internal costs, increasing quality and quantity of sales and profits.

At this time, many automobile manufacturers already increase their requirements to antifreeze production technology and often forbid the use of coolants made according to traditional formulations.

Production of antifreeze according to new standards already creates competition to the old technology.

Such production does not require special licensing in many countries. This simplifies adding antifreeze production line to a facility to either satisfy own demand or compete with other manufacturers.

Production of antifreeze does not require expensive equipment. The quality of the product depends more on the quality of components and raw materials.

Three liquid types for automobiles can be produced using the same equipment: coolants (antifreezes), detergents and window washers. Antifreeze is made by mixing of water, concentrate and a range of additives in certain proportion. This can be done using any industrial mixing equipment. For instance, GlobeCore’s USB blending machines make the production of antifreeze even more profitable due to high production rate of the machines and several other advantages.

Production of antifreeze has no harmful environmental effects. There are is no waste water stream. The design of the USB mixer prevents water spills.

To keep the equipment using a coolant in good operating condition, the quality of the coolant is very important. Therefore, manufacturers can create their own formulations for antifreeze production to make quality product.

The secret of any successful undertaking is the sound organization of the business, implementation of new technologies and equipment to improve the production process.

Is the Formulation of Antifreeze a Closely Guarded Secret?

Articles

Since the early days of the automobile, drivers have poured water into the radiators of their cars.  A substance called ethylene glycol was added to the water to prevent the water from freezing.  The resulting mixture was safe for the car’s engine and radiator because it was turned into a viscous slurry substance with tiny particles of ice, which were unable to cause damage the vehicle’s engine and cooling system.  The resulting substance of water and ethylene glycol seemed to be ideal for older-type cars that had cast iron engines and brass radiators.  The water and ethylene glycol mixture it was safe in terms of corrosion for those early cars.  So it was the beginning for the invention of antifreeze.  The name of the substance literally means “against freezing”.

The First Problems

The first troubles revealed themselves along with the development of more modern automobile construction.  The heated antifreeze slowly destroyed the engine metal when circulating in newer cars’ cooling systems.  For this reason the water pump impeller and the cylinder head channel borders were simply destroyed.

So research institutions began to look for a solution to the problem immediately and proposed the use of inorganic salts additives to decrease the corrosion activity of the antifreeze solution.  It hastened the emergence of a new layer on metal surfaces that was resistant to ethylene glycol.

At this time antifreeze received another name, “tosol.”  The story of this new name is quite interesting.  The first three letters were formed by the name of the institute department that studied the problems of anti-freeze improvement – “The Technology of Organic Synthesis.”  The suffix “ol” is a tribute to chemical terminology.  This was the way “tosol” was introduced to the country for the first time.

So, Is There Any Difference?

It bears repeating that any modern coolant used in auomotive applications is an antifreeze product.  Tosol is also an antifreeze product.  Most sellers use the word tosol to denote a liquid which is designed and suitable for domestic cars.  Although you can buy inferior quality fluids called “antifreeze.”  We recommend buying antifreeze only from reputable and trusted manufacturers such as those having good references from recognized automotive brands to ensure buying a quality product fir your car.

Hunting for the Correct Antifreeze Formulation

Of course not every driver can afford to buy expensive antifreezes from well known manufacturers and suppliers.  That is probably why many car owners began to look for an antifreeze recipe for the purpose of saving money. But, in fact it turned to be not so simple.  Large companies do not give out commercial secrets, one of which is undoubtedly the product formulation.

New data however, has become more accessible with the development of information technologies such as the internet.  In particular, the patent bases of the former Soviet Union were put on the Internet where one could find the a recipe for modern antifreeze.  Here we present only a few options.  Anyone who has access to the network can significantly expand this database.

Continuous Fuel Blending With no Excess Demand of Energy: Is It Possible?

Fuel blending,

Blending is deemed to be one of the most long-used and popular processing step in the history of industry.  It is therefore, why most of the food products, household chemicals and medicines feature the mixtures of natural and synthetic components that have been blended.

Many years ago, blending of liquids that were difficult to blend and the production of stable and “resistant to segregation” mixtures were always considered to be an operational challenge by the blending industry.

In today’s world, the hi-tech market is full of different systems that can solve this problem effectively depending on the knowledge and technologies built into the equipment by the manufacturer.

GlobeCore always meets the needs of its clients when designing and producing equipment.  GlobeCore is continually working on improving its existing equipment line up.  After many years of doing business, GlobeCore has proved itself to be a reliable and customer-oriented company that manufactures high-quality equipment.

There are different classifications of blending equipment.  Depending on the physical state of the components of the mixture, blending equipment may be applied to blend liquids, liquids with solid substances, solid substances, and gasses with liquids.

GlobeCore blending equipment is designed to compound two or more liquid components as the parts of the final product.  Such type of equipment is used to produce fuel mixtures, beverages, perfumes, soap, shampoos and other multicomponent products.

Each component of the mixture possesses specific physical and chemical characteristics therefore,  it is very important to choose the optimal blending mode that determines the estimated energy consumption, required fineness of grinding and as a result the stability of the mixture.

Blending equipment, available in the hi-tech market, is classified according to the  following modes of operation:

(1) batch blending mode;

(2) recirculation blending mode; and

(3) continuous  blending mode.

The modes, listed above may be also divided into sub-modes of blending.  For example, systems with a batch blending mode may also be fitted with a mild intensive mixing sub-mode and with a continuous blending mode and a quick blending sub-mode.

GlobeCore USB blending systems are classified according to the model number.  GlobeCore USB units are easy-to-use and are characterized by a high production rate and do not require specially-trained staff to operate.

Due to the different blending modes available in the USB systems, all the components of the product are mixed effectively which improves the quality of the final product.  The most important technological parameters of the blending modes are the temperature, and the mixing time.  These two parameters usually determine the readiness and quality of the product.

The blending mode is also referred to the factors that determine the characteristics of the final mixtures.  GlobeCore USB blending equipment, is offered with a continuous blending mode that is designed to increase the efficiency of the blending process with no additional energy costs.

This type of equipment allows for, an even, on-line distribution of mixtures and precise metering of components with no additional distribution systems.  GlobeCore continuous USB blending units meet all national and international quality standards.

How Does the “Liquids Mixing Ratio” Influence the Increase of Sales?

Articles, ,

When purchasing industrial oils, it is advisable to thoroughly study all the characteristics of the product in order to make the right choice.

Additionally, you should pay attention to the status of the company involved in the selling of industrial oils.  Also pay attention to the level of professionalism and qualifications of dealers.  Study the marketing catalogues for the products and do not buy products that has no information about the product readily available for review.

Sometimes, a company that has to replace one brand of industrial oil for another. An educated buyer should note that new oil should have the same physicochemical characteristics as the old one it is replacing or being added to.

For example, the use of oil that has a lower viscosity than the original one can lead to the overheating and premature wear of some internal parts.  Oil with a higher than needed viscosity will require higher energy costs to operate the oil filled equipment.

In consideration of this, it is not always possible to replace one brand of oil with another one.  And, it is one of the reasons why many companies require equipment for blending oils in certain proportions to obtain fuel that meets their individual production requirements.

Let’s consider GlobeCore blending equipment as an example.  This type of equipment operates according to the set formulation and automatically regulates the operation of valves to meet the unique characteristics of desired formulation.

GlobeCore USB units are characterized by a high capacity and performance therefore, they may be used for production of many different mixtures with different proportions of components.  Continuous blending of components in certain and consistent  proportions performed by the GlobeCore USB units is called on-line blending.

GlobeCore USB units range in capacity, depending on the amount of the product to be blended.  USB units available from GlobeCore feature an integrated mobile system for fuel blending that can be additionally fitted with external pumps for supplying additional components.

The automation of the blending process allows for the preservation of formulations and the mixing ratio in the memory of the system, but also for the specification of the threshold limit value for analysing and checking the quality of the product.

The innovations of the GlobeCore USB unit render it possible to actively respond to the changes in the production process and automatically calculate the required mixing ratios of new formulas.

The GlobeCore USB units are digitally controlled which reduces the risks of product loss and renders it possible to make changes to the mixing ratios and correct calculations during operation of the unit, and monitor the input and output of the product.

The GlobeCore USB system is also able to calculate the values of the physico-chemical characteristics of the components to correct the mixing ratio.

GlobeCore modern blending equipment not only increases the reliability of the mixing technology, but also improves this technology in the course of operation, reducing the risk and costs, required for laboratory tests of the mixing ratio.

The high production rate of GlobeCore USB blending systems makes it possible to quickly and efficiently respond to the fluctuations in the market and increase production rates and revenue.

How to Leave Behind Foreign Corporations in the Sphere of Drink Production

Articles

In today’s modern world, the profitability of the beverage business is between 10 to 20% of investment.  As a whole, all domestic manufacturers occupy 43.8% of the market while 56.2% accounts for international corporations like Coca-Cola and PepsiCo.

Coke and Pepsi products are usually about three times as expensive as the less known beverages of domestic manufacturers.  Due to world wide brand recognition and great marketing campaigns, the majority of people still choose the classic Coca-Cola brand when purchasing soft drinks.

The main benefit of domestic beverages in the soft drink market is their lower and reasonable pricing.  A modern beverage production business therefore, should be started first with the calculation of the prime cost of the future product and the development of the marketing plan.

One of the investing strategies of beverage production is the investment in the hi-tech equipment that meets the financial capabilities of the enterprise and can perform several operations in with the same machine(s).

The Secrets of the Perfume Production

Articles

In today’s world, perfume production is a profitable idea that can be easily adopted by big or small businesses.

Perfumes with a unique fragrance can be sold at a relatively high price in the perfume and beauty markets only if the company has a good product and brand name acceptance.

In today’s market and regulatory environment, perfume production is subject to the laws and rules of commercial and retail marketing.  Huge corporations prefer to locate their production facilities in the countries with low labor costs.  It is therefore, difficult to compete with perfume giants that only look to make profits while the companies with small production facilities concentrate on the quality of their final products.

The production of any product requires meeting two of the following conditions:

(1) having a wide range of products; and (2) an adequate start-up budget.

In some cases, production and selling of one type of product may be profitable at small investments.  The advent of new and improved models of production equipment has precluded the need to buy expensive equipment, rent huge production shops and hire specially trained staff.

In today’s world, it is very important to choose the proper equipment for the production of  different products.  The basic composition of each perfume product is almost the same.  Perfume has the highest price and persistence.  It consists of expensive natural oils and synthetic components, dissolved in alcohol when adding a fixing agent.

Statistically, one perfume formulation contains about one hundred natural and synthetic elements.  The quality of new perfume depends on the quality of the raw material used in making the perfume. That is the difference between the branded perfumes and toilet waters from the mass market, which are characterized by a lower price because of the cheap components.

The natural components of perfumes include herbal extracts, floral aromas, spices, fruit extracts, resins and granular secretions from certain animals.

As it was stated earlier, the majority of modern perfumes, colognes and toilet waters contain artificial components such as alcohols and various synthetic compounds.
