Hydro-cracking oil treatment plants are used for the purification of used oil. These plants use a hydro-cracking process to remove contaminants from used oil, such as water, heavy metals, and other impurities. The process also removes sulfur and nitrogen compounds, which can be harmful to the environment. The hydro-cracking process involves the use of hydrogen gas, which reacts with the impurities in the used oil to break them down into harmless substances.
The hydro-cracking oil treatment plant consists of several components, including a reactor vessel, a hydrogenation reactor, a distillation column, and a fractionation column. The used oil is fed into the reactor vessel, where it is mixed with hydrogen gas and heated to high temperatures and pressures. The hydrogenation reactor then converts the impurities in the used oil into harmless substances.
After the hydrogenation process, the treated oil is sent to the distillation column, where it is separated into different fractions based on their boiling points. The lighter fractions, such as gasoline and diesel fuel, are collected at the top of the column, while the heavier fractions, such as lubricating oil, are collected at the bottom. The fractions are then sent to the fractionation column, where they are further purified.
The hydro-cracking oil treatment plant is an important tool for the recycling of used oil. By removing impurities and contaminants, the plant can help to extend the life of the oil and reduce the need for new oil production. It also helps to reduce the environmental impact of used oil by removing harmful substances before the oil is reused.
