JNTUK B.Tech Fundamentals Of Petroleum Refinery Engineering gives you detail information of Fundamentals Of Petroleum Refinery Engineering R13 syllabus It will be help full to understand you complete curriculum of the year.
Learning Objective
- To provide basic understanding of the chemistry of crude oil and its characterization.
- To provide basic understanding & significance of Refining Processes
- To provide basic understanding & significance of fuel quality specification.
UNIT-I : Introduction: The evolution of petroleum refining – From the oil patch to the refinery- Oil patch operations – Gas plants – Transportation – LNG. Crude oil characteristics: Crude oil composition–Distillation curves–Fractions–Cutting crudes – Gravities – Sulfur content.
UNIT-II : Distilling: The simple still– Distillation column–Reflux and reboil–Cut points–Settling cut points-variations.
Vacuum flashing: The cracking phenomena – Effects of low pressure–Vacuum flashing– Adjusting the distillation curve.
The chemistry of petroleum: Atoms and molecules–Hydrocarbons – Naphthenes – Olefins and aromatics.
Refinery gas plants: Saturated gas plant – Cracked gas plant – Disposition – Storage facilities.
UNIT-III Hydrocracking: The process – The hardware and the reactions.
Residue reduction: Thermal cracking and visbreaking – Coking – Cat cracking and hydrocracking.
Cat cracking: The process – Reaction section – Catalysts –The regenerator – The fractionator – Yields process variables.
