■ Product Overview

In the process of crude oil extraction and processing, crude oil often contains various heavy metal impurities, such as nickel, vanadium, iron, copper, etc. The presence of these heavy metals can have many adverse effects on crude oil processing equipment and processes. For example, in catalytic cracking units, heavy metals can adhere to the catalyst surface, causing catalyst poisoning and deactivation, reducing catalytic activity and selectivity, increasing catalyst consumption, and affecting product distribution and quality; In equipment such as heating furnaces and distillation towers, heavy metals can accelerate equipment corrosion, shorten equipment lifespan, increase maintenance costs, and pose safety risks.

This crude oil heavy metal remover is specially developed to solve the problem of heavy metals in crude oil. It can efficiently and quickly react with heavy metals in crude oil, convert them into removable forms, and separate them from crude oil through subsequent processes, thereby significantly reducing the heavy metal content in crude oil, improving crude oil quality, and ensuring the efficient and stable operation of crude oil processing.

■ Product Features

Easy to operate: The usage method is simple and can be directly added to crude oil pipelines or storage containers without the need for complex equipment and process modifications.

Safety and Environmental Protection: The product ingredients are safe, there will be no secondary pollution during use, and it is friendly to operators and the environment.

Synergistic effect: It has good compatibility with other additives in the crude oil processing process, such as demulsifiers and pour point depressants, and can work synergistically to improve the overall processing efficiency.

■ Mechanism of action

This crude oil heavy metal remover is a multi-component composite product, and its principle of action is mainly based on the following aspects:

Chelation reaction: Specific active ingredients in the removal agent can undergo chelation reactions with heavy metal ions in crude oil, forming stable chelates. These chelates have high molecular weight and good water solubility, making them easy to separate from crude oil through subsequent processes such as water washing and sedimentation.

adsorptionSome components have special adsorption properties, which can adsorb heavy metal particles in crude oil, causing them to aggregate and grow, making them easier to separate and remove.

Interface activityThe removal agent can reduce the interfacial tension between crude oil and water phase, promote oil-water separation, and also facilitate the transfer of heavy metal chelates to water phase, thereby improving the removal efficiency.
