Investigation of the effect of the catalyst on the composition and structure of petrol fraction in oil under electric hydropulse processing

Abstract

As a result of the complicated practical implementation of electric hydropulse processing of liquid media, the mechanism of its effect on the properties of the water-organic dispersed system has not yet been fully studied. In some cases, the electric hydropulse processing of a liquid mixture of water and hydrocarbon makes it possible to facilitate the separation of light and middle fractions. The results of the investigation of the impact of electric hydropulse effects on the properties of the obtained fractions are presented in the article. As a result of the study, conditions facilitating the maximum reduction in the kinematic viscosity of the Karazhanbas field oil have been established. The duration of the electric hydropulse processing time during which the yield of light and middle fractions of high-viscosity oil increases is established. The optimal parameters of high-viscosity oil processing are determined. Those are the discharge voltage magnitude of a switching device and the capacitance of a capacitor bank.
