Abstract

In order to provide environmental solutions for the treatment of oily residues (slop oil) from refineries, formulations with surfactants were proposed according to the type of dispersed system of the slop (crude oil emulsified with water and/or solid particles). Samples were collected in 12 tanks located at the Oxialquilados Venezolanos C.A., Barcelona Plant (Anzoátegui, Venezuela), performing physicochemical tests for the identification of the dispersed system (solubility, wettability, stability, water content) and microscopic observations (morphology and particle size). The results indicated heterogeneous slop samples with a water content of 2%–60% vol/vol consisting of single or multiple emulsions, with droplet sizes between approximately 10 and 30 micron; others formed by sludge or suspension (solids/oil/water). For the destabilization of these systems, aqueous and organic cleaning solutions were designed, determining the percentage of oil separated in the bottle tests at optimal and simulated field conditions. Field tests with volume scaling of the slop tank reported efficiencies of 63%, 85%, and 100% when treating the slop TK-17, TK-36, EE, respectively; for the mixture (Pulmon-2) an efficiency of 47%. By combining heat treatment and two demulsifiers was possible to treat the slop TK-17 (multiple emulsion). A considerable volume of water can be drained from the tanks for use in the plant. In conclusion, the surfactant formulas were effective in the recovery of a significant amount of crude oil, making it feasible to return it to the generating entity.

表面活性剂在废油储罐中乳剂和悬浮液的溶解、清洗和最终处理中的应用
为了给炼油厂的油渣(废油)的处理提供环保解决方案,根据废油(原油与水和/或固体颗粒乳化)的分散体系类型,提出了含有表面活性剂的配方。在巴塞罗那工厂(Anzoátegui,委内瑞拉)的oxalquilados Venezolanos c.a.的12个罐中收集了样品,进行了物理化学测试,以确定分散系统(溶解度、润湿性、稳定性、含水量)和微观观察(形态和粒度)。结果表明,水含量为2% ~ 60% vol/vol的非均质斜坡样品由单个或多个乳剂组成,液滴大小约为10 ~ 30微米;其他由污泥或悬浮物(固体/油/水)形成。为了消除这些系统的不稳定性,设计了水性和有机清洁溶液,在最佳和模拟现场条件下确定了瓶子测试中分离的油的百分比。现场试验表明,在处理TK-17、TK-36和EE时,污泥池的体积缩放效率分别为63%、85%和100%;混合气(Pulmon-2)的效率为47%。采用热处理和两种破乳剂相结合的方法处理TK-17(多重乳化)废液是可行的。大量的水可以从水箱中排出供工厂使用。综上所述,表面活性剂配方对大量原油的回收是有效的,使其返回生成实体是可行的。
