Recent Advances in Petrochemical Science

There are very limited role for thermal processing in the refinery because it does not give selective product as well as its processed stream has to pass through hydro processing. However, due to the production of heavy oil feeds using catalytic refinery process may not be efficient process. Thermal cracking processes are designed to handle heavy residues with high Asphaltenic and metal contents. Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle is one of the oldest thermal process, which is used for electricity, which can handle a wide range of poor quality feed stocks coal, heavy oil, natural gas and even plant waste and produce a wide range of products such as syngas Hydrogen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide . The process also crucial for hydrogen, ammonia, methanol and synthetic fossil fuel For example liquid gasoline, it contains no sulphur or benzene, making it extremely clean burning by using methanol to gasoline processes. Syn-fuels better than conventional fuel but at significantly which have higher price, Hence, syn fuels more expensive, which have wide scope for technological development in order to make production economically viable. Under gasification, the sulphur in heavy oil can be converted into carbonyl sulphide while conversion of fuel bound nitrogen to gaseous nitrogen and ammonia. Currently, process mainly used with the association of steam reforming, dry reforming and partial oxidation mainly for the coal, bottom of the barrel, asphalt or petroleum coke.

Refining Integration and Petrochemical:

The petrochemical industries and integration of refining is a mutual benefit where utilization of refinery products and by-products as a feedstock for petrochemicals. Therefore, it is a strategic benefit over reducing the costs of feed and utilizing in the form of customize products. And also both industries are looking for opportunity to make use of their processing option where refinery can process dirtier feedstock (heavy oil) while commodity supply can be improved in the petrochemical. specifically this model can be effectively utilize in the refinery for heavy oil processing mainly using cracking process or the thermal processes ,whereas petrochemical benefited from their value products such as propylene and BTX, FCC naphtha, surplus Coker naphtha, etc.
