Oil sludge processing technology

Purpose of development: utilization of oil waste generated during the extraction, transportation and storage of oil and oil products, obtaining additional raw materials for the production of waxes, protective lubricants, bitumen compositions

Application area of the development: oil refining and petrochemistry – production of protective lubricants and bitumen compositions

Brief essence of the development: oil sludge containing asphalt-resin-paraffin substances is subjected to sequential two-stage treatment with solvents, which ensures first the production of an oil product, purified from resinous-asphaltene compounds and mechanical impurities, and then the release of paraffin concentrate

The main advantages of the development: due to the use of effective compositions of solvents, it is possible to obtain white paraffin suitable for use in protective waxes

The main technical characteristics of the development: use of two compositions of solvents based on industrial solvents; standard equipment; temperature conditions not exceeding 90 ° С

Comparison of the development with analogs: the proposed technology, in comparison with analogs, makes it possible to increase the paraffin yield by 2-6% wt. and improve its quality (tpl. paraffin wax increases by 1.5-2.5 ° C), excludes the formation of non-utilizable products

Form of intellectual property protection: patent 13643 RB “Method for the extraction of paraffins from asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits”, a positive decision on application a 20090859 “Method for the separation of paraffins from asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits”

Significance for the Republic of Belarus: will allow to obtain additional raw materials for the production of protective compositions for various purposes; to reduce landfills for solid waste disposal; reduce the cost of protective compounds
