METHOD FOR ANODICALLY DECREASING CONRADSON CARBON CONTENT OF PETROLEUM STREAMS
THE PRESENT INVENTION PROVIDES FOR A METHOD FOR DECREASING THE CONRADSON CARBON CONTENT OF PETROLEUM STREAMS BY FORMING A MIXTURE OF THE PETROLEUM STREAM AND AN ESSENTIALLY AQUEOUS ELECTROLYSIS MEDIUM, AND PASSING AN ELECTRIC CURRENT THROUGH THE MIXTURE AT AN ANODIC VOLTAGE AND PH SUFFICIENT TO PROD...

Zusammenfassung: | THE PRESENT INVENTION PROVIDES FOR A METHOD FOR DECREASING THE CONRADSON CARBON CONTENT OF PETROLEUM STREAMS BY FORMING A MIXTURE OF THE PETROLEUM STREAM AND AN ESSENTIALLY AQUEOUS ELECTROLYSIS MEDIUM, AND PASSING AN ELECTRIC CURRENT THROUGH THE MIXTURE AT AN ANODIC VOLTAGE AND PH SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE A PETROLEUM FRACTION HAVING DECREASED CONRADSON CARBON CONTENT. THE ANODIC VOLTAGE IS FROM +0.5 TO + 1.5V VS. SCE. PREFERABLY THE PH IS ACIDIC. THE INVENTION PROVIDES A METHOD FOR ENHANCING THE VALUE OF PETROLEUM FEEDS THAT TRADITIONALLY HAVE LIMITED USE IN REFINERIES. |
