Abstract

Oil and gas industry uses zeolite as an adsorbent to reduce moisture content of natural gas in LNG Plant, and as catalyst to convert the heavy petroleum fractions feeds into light clean fuels in refinery. Low quality crude oil, low residual fuel demand, and an increased demands and spesifications for light products (gasoline, kerosene, and diesel oil) and petrochemical products, future challenges for utilization zeolite as cracking catalyst in refinery are encouraging.

Abstract

Diesel oil is high pollution fuel and the quality of this fuel must he improved to obtain clean diesel oil Crude oil production and its quality tend to decrease. Light fuel oil demand rate is higher than that of residual fuel. Diesel oil produced in the refineries generally consists of predominantly straight-run diesel oil: however, compounds such as thermally and catalytically cracked diesel oils are sometimes included. The quality of straight-run diesel oil, such as hydrocarbon types and sulfur content, will in general reflect the nature of crude oil. Cracked stocks either thermal or catalytic cracked diesel oils, contain higher percentage of aromatic, olefin and sulfur contents and these cracked diesel products must be hydrogenated prior to rounting to final products. The passage of the Clean Air Act Amendment of 1990 in the U.S.A has forced American refineries to install new facilities to comply with stricter specifications for fuels such as gasoline and diesel oil. Hydrocracking processes are a combination of desulfurization and conversion developed primary to process feeds having a high content of unsaturated hydrocarbons (olefin and polycyclic aromatics) and non-hydrocarbon compounds (sulfur and nitrogen compounds) with a bifunctional catalyst. A variety of bifunctional catalysts and processing designs may be used commercially depending on the feedstock used and desired products. Influence of both feedstock compositions (paraffinic and non-paraffinic vacuum distillate, and wax) and the acidity of bifunctional catalysts on the performance of hydrocracked diesel oil products are discussed briefly in this paper. Low yield or selectivity of diesel oil products by high catalyst acidity, it is suggested that the higher secondary splitting has taken place in converting cracked products into large amounts of low-molecular weight hydrocarbons such as gasoline and LPG. High diesel index product of the paraffinic feedstock due to the high paraffin content of the produced diesel oil.

Abstract

A regulation concerning waste water quality for oil and gas activities in Indonesia has recently been issued in the State Minister for Environment Decree No. 42/MENLH/10/1996. Waste water quality for oil and gas activities is classified in this decree according to the type of activities, namely exploration and production activities, refineries, and petroleum product storage and distribution activities. Maximum permissible concentration of oil and grease in waste water varies depending on the activities and mode of discharges. The oil and grease concentration in operation waste water that ranges from 20 ppm for the refineries to 75 ppm for off shore production have led to the variation in determination methodologies. Survey on oil and grease determination methods in Indonesia indicated that determination method ranges from gravimetric method that is unsuitable for light fraction to spectrometric method that depends on the oil standard. Moreover variation of solvent will give different result. This paper describes an overview of oil and grease determination conducted by the Indonesian oil and gas companies informing the advantages and disadvantages of each method. The possible single method that can be utilized as a standard method as well as approaches in conducting correlation program is proposed.

Abstract

Chemical dispersants are often used to disperse spilled oils, which threaten to pollute shoreline areas. In Indonesia all dispersants produced or marketed should undergo the toxicity test with regand to certain types of fish to determine the threshold limit, LC-50. The type of surface-active agent (surfactants) and the solvent used in the dispersants, which determine the dispersing quality, might be toxic to the marine species and bacteria.

Abstract

ASCOPE Work Programme for 1981 directed the Technical Committee to conduct the 2nd Annual Laboratory Test Correlation Programme for CFR Engines among petroleum laboratories in the ASCOPE member countries. Member countries taking part in this correlation programme are Indonesia with seven laboratories participating, Malaysia with two laboratories, Thailand and the Philippines with two laboratories each. LEMIGAS Laboratory of Indonesia, as coordinator in this correlation programme, provided the samples to be sent to each participating laboratory. After being tested by the participating laboratories, the test results on these samples were to be sent to PPTMGB "LEMIGAS" in Jakarta for processing, including the determination of the standard deviation. Based on these results, conclusions can be drawn about the deviations of laboratory test results and about outliers to be rejected. For proper analysis, the samples for correlation also require physical and chemical test such as specific gravity, RVP, distillation, and TEL content, in the receiving laboratories to take into account any possible changes in the sample properties which have occured during transportation and storage. abaot w bliy Also important to be observed are ambient and engire operating conditions during the men Jnlog lomt correlation tests. The results of this analysis can then be used as a base for diagnosis of the probable causes of deviations, the occurence of outliers and for recommendations of remedial steps to be taken. The method used for testing the samples is the Bracketing Procedure System, while for rounding the values of the numbers found during the tests the ASA rules for rounding are used. The Grubb's rejection criteria with the use of "T" factors are used in evaluating the possible outliers.

Abstract

Intensive implementation of the blue sky program in many countries imposed the use of reformulated gasoline with a very sophisticated specification. Motor gasoline is essentially a complex mixture of hydrocarbons distilled between 40 and 220 C, which consist of distillate fraction of crude oils and the conversion products of crude oil fractions. Small amounts of additives are also used to enhance various aspects of the performance of gasoline. In ASEAN refineries, over 740 MBPSD of feed- stock is processed which produce about 512 MBPSD of gasoline components. About 96 percent of the amount is processed in 39 units of the heterogeneous catalytic processes: i.e. cracking. reforming and isomerization, and the other 4 percent in 4 units of homogeneous catalytic processes: L.e. alkylation and polymerization. Volatility, octane number, hydroegtys4 com: position and impurity content are the most determinant criteria of the gasoline. In most spark-ignition internal combustion engines, the fuel is metered in liquid form through the carburettor or fuel injector, and is mixed with air and partially vaporized before entering the cylinders of the engine. Consequently. volatility, is and extremely important characteristic with respect to starting, driveability, vapor lock, dilution of engine oil fuel economy, and carburettor icing. To increase the octane level of gasoline an anti knock agent such as tetraethyl lead (TEL) or tetramethyl lead (TML) can also be used. Pres- sures to reduce atmospheric pollution are tending towards the reduction or elimination of lead from gasoline. Lead itself is known to be a poison and its presence in the exhaust gas is undesirable. Leudacts as a catalyst poison of catalytic converter installed to reduce carbon monaxide and hydrocarbon emission. Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) is one of the alternative to replace lead alkyls, and has been used as antiknock. Unleaded gasoline (ULG) has been introduced since 1990 in ASEAN Countries: The actual penetration of ULG utilization in the first half of 1998 are as follows : Brunei Darussalam 48.9 , Indonesia 0.6 %. Malaysia 80 %, Philippines 17.7 %, Singapore 81 %. and Thailand 100%. The passage of the Clean Air Act Amendment of 1990 in the USA has forced American refiners to install new facilities to comply with stricter specifications for fuels such as gasoline and diesel oil. Various terms in the models address quality of the gasoline blended, sulfur content, and total aromatics and olefins contents, RVP, the Tof distillation range, sulfur content, and oxygenated content. Specifications for the reformulated gasoline and the ASEAN commecial gasoline are presented. Driveability index (DI) has been standardized by ASTM D-4814-98a and in the near future this DI could be recommended in the specification for the reformulated gasoline. Reformu- lated gasoline can be blended from the high quality gasoline components. Volatitity (RVP. T T T and driveability index), octane number (RON, MON and octane distribution), and hydrocarbon compositions of the gasoline components, as well as the refinery configuration to improve the quality of the gasoline components, and the compositions of these improved gasoline components of reformulated gasoline production are briefly discussed in this paper.
