Methanol is one of the most important petrochemical products which is produced in large extents worldwide. Nowadays, it is mostly used as a feed in olefin units for production of synthetic fuels. In this work, methanol production process, under license of Davy Corporation, is simulated by using HYSYS software. The simulations are carried out for steady state condition. The simulation results we...

impact of biobased industrial products in the twenty-first century. The priorities for research and commercialization were described in terms of agriculture expanding into health, energy, chemicals and materials. Agriculture is now armed with new biotechnology and bioprocessing tools, and is going back to reclaim the markets it lost to the petrochemical industry after the 1930s. This paper will...

Oil and natural gas together with coal, the main fossil fuels, not only remain our major energy sources but they are also the feedstocks for a great variety of manmade materials and products that range from gasoline and diesel oil to varied petrochemical and chemical products, including synthetic materials, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. What nature gave us as a gift, formed over the course of ...

After an earthquake, the fire risk of petrochemical enterprises is higher than that of other enterprises as it involves production processes with inflammable and explosive characteristics. Using Chinese petrochemical enterprises as the research object, this paper uses a literature review and case summaries to study, amongst others, the classification of petrochemical enterprises, the proportion...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate the relationship between exposure of Korean workers to petrochemicals in the refinery/petrochemical industry and lymphohematopoietic cancers. METHODS The cohort consisted of 8,866 male workers who had worked from the 1960s to 2007 at one refinery and six petrochemical companies located in a refinery/petrochemical com...

Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC x GC) has been investigated for the characterization of high valuable petrochemical samples from dehydrogenation of n-paraffins, Fischer-Tropsch and oligomerization processes. GC x GC separations, performed using a dual-jets CO2 modulator, were optimized using a test mixture representative of the hydrocarbons found in petrochemicals. For comp...

Vegetable oils and fats are important constituents of human and animal foodstuffs. Certain grades are industrially used and, together with carbohydrates and proteins, are important renewable resources compared to fossil and mineral raw materials, whose occurrence is finite. In concepts for new products, the price, performance, and product safety criteria are equally important and have a corresp...

Petrochemical industry is a strategic for nation because it has big impact on society at large. derivative products are an inseparable part of our modern life. With the development technology, humans can synthesize innumerable combinations petrochemical molecular structures to obtain materials with certain properties suitable final be made, from clothing, packaging, pharmaceutical, households, ...
