How to deal with catalytic diesel containing flocculants?
Thread Content
Since the beginning of this year, the catalyzed diesel has contained flocculates; tests conducted by Fuyan Research Institute indicated that it was a water-in-oil mixture. We use two sets of IPM catalysis systems, and the density of the diesel is as high as 0.91. Recently, there have been more flocculates (the more time it sits, the more they appear). Other manufacturers refuse to accept this diesel for hydrogenation. We are eager to know if other companies are facing similar issues Is there any good way to deal with this?
It’s likely that the oil and water have emulsified; try adding some demulsifier
Thank you! These past two days, a professor from the Petroleum University provided a specialized demulsifier; the results of pilot tests were good, and plans are in place to conduct larger-scale experiments. However, I would be grateful if everyone could advise me on whether the cause of this phenomenon is device operation or the addition of some additive to the upstream crude oil
