Method of definition thermodynamic functions of heavy oil organic mass processed by underwater spark discharge

Abstract

The methods of preparing oils for pipeline transport associated with the mechanical effect on high-viscosity and highly paraffinic oil is today a topical problem for refineries. As is known, the most promising method today is the method of electrohydropulse discharges, which allows to regulate the oil dispersed system properties by changing the sizes and forms of complex structural units. Creation environmentally friendly synthetic liquid fuels production supposes the improvement technology of upgrading high-viscosity oil process. To solve this problem, along with experimental studies, thermodynamic analysis of various upgrading ways of high-viscosity oil is necessary. Such calculations must be carried out by giving different compounds’ classes contained in highly viscous hydrocarbon compounds. A deep study of the transformations mechanism of high-viscosity oil’s organic mass from the Karazhanbas field is a prerequisite for developing new highly effective hydrogenation processes. Therefore, this article is devoted to study kinetics and thermodynamics of the high-viscosity oil processing from the Karazhanbas field.
