Petroleum Derivatives

        Diesel or diesel, also called gas oil or gas oil, is a liquid hydrocarbon of density over 850 kg/m³ (0.850 g/cm³@15°C), mainly composed of paraffins and used mainly as a heating fuel and in diesel engines. Its lower heating value is 35.86 MJ/l (43.1 MJ/kg), which depends on its composition.

        Fuel oil, also called fuel or fuel oil and also known as fuel oil, is a fraction of the oil that is obtained as residue in the fractional distillation. From here you get between 30 and 50% of this substance. It is the heaviest fuel that can be distilled under pressure. atmospheric. It is composed of molecules with more than 20 carbon atoms, and its color is black. Fuel oil is used as fuel for power plants electricity, boilers and furnaces.
       Fuel oil is classified into six classes, numbered from 1 to 6, according to their boiling point, its composition and its use. The boiling point, which varies from 175 to 600 °C; the length of the carbon chain, from 9 to 70 atoms; and the viscosity increase with the number of carbons in the molecule, so the most heavy ones must be heated to flow. The price generally decreases to as the number increases.
        No. 1 fuel oil, No. 2 fuel oil, and No. 3 fuel oil are called by different names: distillate fuel oil, diesel fuel oil, light fuel oil, gas oil or simply distillates. For example, No. 2 fuel oil, No. 2 distillate, and No. 2 diesel fuel oil are almost the same (diesel is different because it has a cetane number which describes the quality fuel ignition).
        Diesel refers to the distillation process. The crude oil is heated gasifies and then condenses.

        Crude oil is a fossil fuel composed primarily of hydrocarbons, which may also contain small amounts of sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen. It is formed under conditions of high pressure and heat by the transformation of organic matter and is produced, for example, in soil of sandstone and fractured limestone covered by impermeable layers. It also can found in shales and sands and, in some cases, can ascend directly to the surface.
        Crude oil undergoes a cleaning process during which coarse impurities are removed and the gas is separated. In a later phase, it is desalted and dehydrates. After this process, the material is ready for refining.
        The composition of the different crude oils and, therefore, their quality depend on their origin. The lighter and sweeter a crude oil is, the more high is its quality. The sulfur content is an indicator especially important. For example, crude from OPEC countries such as Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela tend to be of slightly worse quality and, therefore, Therefore, they are priced lower than higher quality crudes, known as Brent from the North Sea and WTI (West Texas Intermediate) from the US. Crude oil from Russia's Ural Mountains is another cheaper variety.

        Gasoline is a product obtained from petroleum by distillation, which is used mainly as fuel for all types of mobiles with combustion engines interior, stoves, lamps and for cleaning with solvents, among other applications. On Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay and surroundings such as Tarija Bolivia, gasoline is known as naphtha (from the naphtha compound), and in Chile, as benzine (from the benzene compound).
        Its density is 680 g/l,1 20% less than that of gas oil (diesel), which is 850g/l. When burning, one liter of gasoline provides an energy of 34.78 mega joules (MJ), approximately 10% less than diesel, which provides 38.65 MJ per litre. Without However, in terms of mass, gasoline provides 3.5% more energy.
        In general, it is obtained from petroleum by direct distillation,2 and it is the lightest liquid fraction of petroleum (except gases). Gasoline is also obtained from the conversion of heavy petroleum fractions (vacuum gas oil) into process units called FCC (Fluid Catalytic Cracking, catalytic cracking fluidized) or hydrocracking.
        Gasoline is a mixture of hundreds of individual hydrocarbons from C4 (butanes and butenes) up to C11, such as methylnaphthalene.

        Kerosene or kerosene (from English: kerosene, this from Greek: κηρός (keros) which means "wax"1) is a flammable liquid, transparent (or slightly yellowish color, depending on the fraction that is extracted), a mixture of hydrocarbons, obtained from the distillation of natural petroleum. It was used originally in stoves and lamps, and is now used as fuel of jet planes and in the manufacture of insecticides. intermediate density between gasoline and diesel, is used as fuel, the JP (abbreviation of jet petrol) in jet and gas turbine engines or added to diesel fuel. automotive in refineries. It is also used as a solvent and for domestic heating, as a dielectric in discharge machining processes electrical and, formerly, for lighting. It is insoluble in water.

        Natural gas is a hydrocarbon, a mixture of light gases of natural origin. It primarily contains methane, and typically includes varying amounts of other alkanes, and sometimes a small percentage of carbon dioxide carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide or helium. It forms when several layers of decomposing plant and animal matter are exposed to intense heat and pressure under the Earth's surface for millions of years. The energy that plants initially obtain from the sun is stored in the form of bonds chemicals in the gas. It constitutes an important source of fossil energy released by its combustion. It is extracted, either from independent deposits (gas not associated), or next to oil or coal deposits (gas associated with other hydrocarbons and gases).

        Naphtha is a liquid compound of intermediate hydrocarbons derived from crude oil refining. It is usually desulfurized and also reformed catalytic, which restructures its molecules, in addition to breaking some bonds, in smaller molecules to produce a high-octane component of gasoline.
        There are hundreds of sources of crude oil throughout the world and each source has your own unique composition or essay. There are also hundreds of oil refineries in around the world and each one of them is designed to process either a crude oil specific or specific types of crude oils. Naphtha is a general term that each refinery produces with its own unique initial and final boiling points and other physical and compositional characteristics. Naphtha can also be produced from other materials such as coal tar, shale deposits, tar sands and the destructive distillation of wood.
