  • Prediction of kinematic viscosity of vacuum residue and refinery heavy product blends
    Patent number: 10317325
    Abstract: Provided is a method for predicting kinematic viscosity of a fraction of a crude oil to optimize selection of crude oils. The method includes receiving parameters of the crude oil, such as Vacuum Residue yield and Conradson Carbon Residue (CCR), content as an input. The method also includes determining kinematic viscosity of the fraction of the crude oil at a first predetermined temperature based on a first correlation model between the physical parameters of the crude oil and the kinematic viscosity at the first predetermined temperature. The method further includes generating the kinematic viscosity of the fraction of the crude oil at the predetermined temperature based on the first correlation model corresponding to the input. Also provided is a system for predicting kinematic viscosity at a predetermined temperature to optimize crude oil selection. Further provided is a method for estimating an amount of cutter stock for crude oil processing.

  • Bitumen Packaging and Method
    Publication number: 20090000976
    Abstract: A bitumen package is disclosed. The package comprises of paving bitumen binder having a softening point in the range of 30-65° C. enclosed within a multi-layered polymer film encasement, each layer being a thin flexible continuous self-sustaining polymer film, such that upon melting, the polymer becomes homogeneous with the paving bitumen binder contained therein.
