Most frequently used diesel fuel production process includes several steps: treatment in distillation columns, cracking and compounding process.<\/p>\n
Processing in distillation columns is the first step which is necessary for diesel fuel production. \u00a0Oil is heated at constant pressure up to the temperature of 180-360\u00baC. \u00a0This makes it possible to divide “black gold” into separate fractions. \u00a0The finished fuel outlet after processing in distillation columns is relatively small (about 20-25%). \u00a0The process features little expenditure in terms of time and money.<\/p>\n
The process of cracking is required for long molecules breakdown. \u00a0It helps to obtain components that can be burned in diesel engines in large amounts. \u00a0There are several approaches to the process of cracking. \u00a0In thermal cracking oil is heated, while various catalysts are not used. \u00a0In hydrocracking oil reacts with hydrogen. \u00a0Catalytic cracking cannot be performed without metals, which act as catalysts. \u00a0Nickel, iron and platinum sponge are most frequently used.<\/p>\n
After the second-stage, the output of diesel fuel can reach 70-80%. \u00a0But it is still not in a marketable condition, due to the presence of sulfur and other contaminants.<\/p>\n
At the stage of compounding the products of cracking and direct distillation processes are mixed in the proportions specified with the process. \u00a0Additives are also added at this stage. \u00a0If the sulfur content does not exceed the permissible limits, diesel fuel can be shipped to the end user right after blending. \u00a0GlobeCore<\/strong><\/em> USB plants are used to mix all the individual components. \u00a0Through the use of hydrodynamic shock and injection method, this equipment allows to obtain high-quality diesel fuel, which does not break down for at least 180 days.<\/p>\n Today, three types of diesel fuel are available in the market: winter, summer, and Arctic. The main difference between, let\u2019s say, winter and summer diesel fuel lies in their crystallization temperature and the temperature of complete solidification. \u00a0\u00a0It depends on a method used for fuel production.<\/p>\n Today winter diesel fuel can be produced by using two methods. \u00a0The first one is nearly the same as for summer fuel, but with lowering of carbonic fractions final boiling point to 20\u00b0C. \u00a0Also, winter diesel fuel can be obtained directly from summer fuel by adding special depressants that are able to lower its pour point. \u00a0At that, limiting filterability temperature remains unchanged.<\/p>\n Winter diesel fuel can also be obtained by adding kerosene to summer diesel fuel. \u00a0The lower the ambient temperature, the more kerosene is needed. \u00a0We should note that this method is not economical and the use of real winter diesel fuel in most cases is cheaper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Most frequently used diesel fuel production process includes several steps: treatment in distillation columns, cracking and compounding process.
