Refinery Science is employing the new science of Nanotechnology to develop refineries in the United States which will allow North American heavy oil to be refined in a manner which will make it competitive with imported oil.
Refinery Science’s carbon rejection process will allow refineries to be built that allow processors to select how much of each hydrocarbon product they choose to produce. This is why the current construction acitivity in the refinery industry is important to RSC.
Conceptually, the processes needed to convert any hydrocarbon into clean liquid fuels are very straightforward.
Transportation and heating fuels including diesel and gasoline are made from combinations of the elements hydrogen and carbon. High value crude oil has more hydrogen and less carbon than lower value heavy crude, bitumen, and coal. In order to convert low value hydrocarbons into high value, clean, liquid fuels one needs to either add hydrogen to them, or remove carbon from them. Link here for diagram.
Low-Sulfur Diesel Recent pre-commercial tests of Refinery Science Corp.’s (RSC’s) highly active catalysts demonstrate the improvements in product quality that can be achieved with RSC’s catalysts.
Hydrotreatment of a standard diesel feedstock continuously produced clean diesel fuel that significantly exceeded federally mandated standards for ultra-low sulfur transportation fuel in a single pass.
Hydrogen Addition
Hydrogen addition processes involve the reaction of heavy crude oils with an external source of hydrogen, and result in an overall increase in the hydrogen to carbon ratio. The processes preferred by Refinery Science Corp. employ catalytic hydroconversion (hydrocracking) using active “hydrodesulfurization” catalysts. The economics of these processes are strongly effected by the efficiency of the the selected catalyst. Link here for diagram.
Refinery Science Carbon Rejection Process Frees Refiners
Most refineries produce liquid fuels from crude oil by boiling crude oil and condensing the gases produced. This means that refiners are tied to the distillation curve of a barrel of crude. If they want to produce more gasoline they must also produce more wax and grease whether they want to or not.
In the future RSC’s carbon rejection process will allow refineries to be built that allow processors to select how much of each hydrocarbon product they choose to produce.
