ABSTRACT
The objective of this work was to investigate
the enhancement of petrol distillate production from crude oil after treating
with two additives. Attempts were also made to find out the mechanisms
responsible for enhancing the quantity and quality of petrol from crude oil by
straight run refining process.
The study illustrates that the yield of petrol
was directly proportional to the lubricating oil and inversely proportional to
the bitumen asphalt content in the hydrocarbon mixture influenced by both
physical and chemical reasons. The yield of petrol was increased ca. 4% (w/w)
when 0.25% (w/w) additive-1 was used for blending before distillation. The
physical properties of distillate petrol product were studied as well as the
chemical quality was determined by TGA, 1H- NMR and GC-MS photometer.
