1. Influence of Refinery Asphalt Residue Addition on Flow: A Study Using Waxy Model-System
One of the main phenomena causing problems in the oil industry is the precipitation of waxes, which can crystallize and form deposits, clogging lines and reducing flows. Many studies have been conducted seeking to overcome this problem, mainly through application of chemical to increase flow. Some studies have shown that the asphaltenes present in crude oil

2. Extraction and Characterization of Pequi Seed Oil for Biodiesel Production: A Green Management of Waste to Biofuel Using Ethanol and Heterogeneous Catalysis
This work reports the characterization of a vegetable oil extracted from pequi seeds, an agroindustrial residue, and its biodiesel production using ethanol and heterogeneous catalysis. The pequi seeds showed 40.73 wt.% of extractive content, which represents a large amount of the biomass composition. The crude oil extracted from the pequi seeds with ethanol

3. Recent Developments on the Elucidation of Colloidal Aspects of Asphaltenes and Their Relevance to Oilfield Problems
Asphaltenes constitute the heavy petroleum fraction responsible for deposition events that may lead to reduced oil production, therefore of great interest for flow assurance. These molecules self-assemble in solutions leading to formation of aggregates that eventually grow towards precipitation and blockages in reservoirs and pipelines. Based on the Yen-Mull

5. INTEGRATING REAL TIME OPTIMIZATION AND MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL OF A CRUDE DISTILLATION UNIT
Abstract This work reports the integration of Real Time Optimization and Model Predictive Control in the multi-layer control structure of an existing Crude Distillation Unit (CDU) of an oil refinery. The MPC considers output control zones and targets for the inputs or outputs. Both the infinite horizon and the finite output horizon controllers were tested. T

6. Investigation of Physicochemical Characteristics of Heavy, Medium and Blend Crude Petroleum on Corrosion Resistance of AISI 1020 Carbon Steel
This work investigates the influence of the physicochemical characteristics of heavy (17.5 °API), medium (28.3 °API) and blend (50% heavy + 50% medium) crude petroleum on corrosion of AISI 1020 carbon steel at 25.0 ± 1.0°C. The corrosion resistance of steel was analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization, and scanning

7. Tucum-do-Pantanal (Bactris setosa Mart.): Physicochemical Characterization of Almonds, Press Cake and Crude Oil
Abstract Brazil has high diversity of native fruits with high nutritional and biochemical value. Bactris setosa Mart. (tucum-do-Pantanal) stands out by its oil-rich almond. This study aimed to determine the physicochemical characteristics of tucum-do-Pantanal almond and its by-products: press cake and crude oil. The almond of tucum-do-Pantanal had total wei

8. Composição nutricional e valores energéticos determinados com frangos de corte de coprodutos do processamento do etanol de milho
ABSTRACT It was determined by the total collection of excreta method, with broilers from 22 to 32 days of age, the coefficients of apparent metabolism of dry matter, crude protein and crude energy and apparent metabolizable energy corrected for zero nitrogen balance (AMEn) of the ethanol co-products of corn: acid oil and dried distillery grains with soluble

9. EPOXIDATION OF JATROPHA METHYL ESTERS VIA ACIDIC ION EXCHANGE RESIN: OPTIMIZATION AND CHARACTERIZATION
Abstract Plant oils and their derivatives have been vigorously exploited as alternatives for synthesis of epoxides due to depletion of petroleum resources. In this study, crude jatropha oil (CJO) was subjected to a transesterification process to form jatropha methyl esters (JME) using peroxyacetic acid generated in situ from hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid

10. Droplet Size Distribution in Water-Crude Oil Emulsions by Low-Field NMR
This paper reports the droplet size distribution (DSD) measurements in 28 W/O (water/oil) crude oil emulsions prepared with two Brazilian oils (medium and heavy) under different shear conditions using both 10 g L-1 NaCl solution and water production by low field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR, 2.2 MHz). The PFGSTE (pulsed-field gradient-stimulated echo) pul

11. THERMODYNAMIC ANALYSIS AND MODELING OF BRAZILIAN CRUDE OIL AND ASPHALTENE SYSTEMS: AN EXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENT AND A PC-SAFT APPLICATION
ABSTRACT Asphaltenes represent the heaviest fraction of crude oils, being recognized by their tendency to self-associate and precipitate. Asphaltene precipitation and subsequent deposition can cause problems in all stages of production. The objective of this paper is to model Brazilian crude oil and asphaltene systems using the PC-SAFT equation of state. Asp

12. EVALUATION OF DISTILLATION CURVES FOR BIO-OIL OBTAINED FROM THERMAL CRACKING OF WASTE COOKING OIL
ABSTRACT Bio-oil obtained from thermal cracking of waste cooking oil (WCO) is a complex mixture of different chemical compounds and, like crude oil, it is composed mainly of hydrocarbons. The large number of compounds in bio-oil leads to complex and expensive methods for its properties determination. In this study, the distillation curves were constructed fo
