Enhanced Removal of the Mechanical Impurities in OilSandsOil from Indonesia by UltrasoundSedimentation Method
Fu Yu,Li Xiaoou,Li Heming,et al
The subject of experiment is oilsandsoil with high mechanical impurity. The study on the enhanced removal of mechanical impurities in oilsandsoil was carried out by ultrasonicsedimentation method. The effect factors including ultrasonic separation time, proportion of coking diesel oil, sedimentation time and sedimentation temperature were studied, respectively. The suitable conditions of demulsification and deimpurity in Indonesia's oilsandsoil were investigated by orthogonal experiment. The experimental results show that compared with the traditional sedimentation method, the removal rate of mechanical impurities in oilsandsoil is increased by more than 10% by ultrasonicsedimentation method. With the increase of the proportion of coking diesel oil, sedimentation time and sedimentation temperature, the proportion of mechanical impurities in oil sands decreased and the removal rate of mechanical impurities gradually increased. The proportion of coking diesel oil was the most important factor on the mechanical impurity proportion of refined oil. The optimum conditions for the removal of mechanical impurities by ultrasonicsedimentation method are as follows: the sedimentation temperature of 80 ℃, sedimentation time of 4.4 h, ultrasonic cleaning time 10.4 min and the mass proportion of coker diesel oil of 30.9%. Under the optimal conditions, the minimum mechanical impurity in the oilsandsoil was 0.26%.
