Residual Waste Oil Processing

Introduction

This training will give knowledge to all participants in the field of heavy oil products. This will include the ways of processing these wastes to get more valuable and more environmentally friendly products. These processes include cracking, hydrocracking, hydrodesulfurization, solvent refining, and solvent extraction and other processes. The knowledge includes the generation, environment impact, burning; regulations, waste reduction, and how to convert these wastes to more valuable products such as diesel fuel, marine fuel, and recycle base oil with all the proper­ties and the ways of re-processing. The oil sludge will also study as properties and ways of dealing with this waste to reduce the amount of this sludge by recovering the valu­able hydrocarbons.

Objectives

    By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

    • Residual oil properties and upgrading methods
    • Waste oil generation, environmental impact, properties, regulation, transportation, burning, etc.
    • Waste oil reclamation and recycling processes in in­dustry and how to get valuable environmentally friendly products. It is important to know the available process­es with all advantages and disadvantages that we can get from these processes and case study will be given in the course.
    • Oil Sludge, properties, and oil sludge processing to get valuable hydrocarbon material

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.

Who Should Attend?

All the personnel in refineries, oil field service compa­nies, oil production companies, oil drilling companies, environmental companies, and municipalities can at­tend this training course.

Course Outline

  • Introduction
  • Residual oil upgrading processes
  • Waste oil- generation-environmental impacts, manage­ment, and reduction
  • Waste oil analysis (tests)
  • Waste oil processing including different industrial pro­cesses to convert the waste oil into useful products such as diesel fuel, marine fuel, and recycle base oil. This includes acid-clay process, clay process, vacuum distillation, solvent extraction, evaporation, demetalliza­tion, filtration, flocculation, cracking, etc.
  • Waste oil sludge- generation, environmental impact
  • Oil recovery from oil sludge
  • Any other topics proposed by the participants
