Abstract: A method and system to determine mass fraction of aromatic hydrocarbons, sulfur-multi-sulfur, sulfur-nitrogen, multi-sulfur-multi-nitrogen, and nitrogen containing aromatic compound classes present within a petroleum sample. The invention uses total sulfur determination, total nitrogen determination, and elemental formulas determination, with the latter determined through time-of-flight mass spectrometric analysis with atmospheric pressure photo ionization and Fourier-transform ion-cyclotron resonance mass spectrometric analysis with atmospheric pressure photo ionization.

Abstract: Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for analyzing petroleum samples. Different boiling curves are received that are calculated for a petroleum sample using different analytical speciation techniques. The boiling curves include: 1) a detailed hydrocarbon analysis (DHA) is used for a speciation of light-end components of the petroleum sample; 2) a comprehensive 2-dimensional (2D) gas chromatography (GCxGC) is used for a speciation of a middle distillates range of the petroleum sample; and 3) a high-resolution mass spectrometry is used for a speciation of heavy-end components of the petroleum sample. A compositional coverage of the different analytical speciation techniques for the petroleum samples is determined using the different boiling curves. Each of the different analytical speciation techniques covers a different boiling range and produces a compositional model modeling a breakdown of components in the petroleum sample by carbon number, aromatic ring family, and heteroatom class.

Embodiments further relate to determining respective atmospheric equivalent boiling points (AEBPs) for respective ones of the plurality of components. Embodiments further relate to determining a boiling curve for the petroleum sample based on the respective AEBPs. Embodiments further relate to outputting an indication of the boiling curve for the petroleum sample. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.

Abstract: A system and computer program product are provided for calculating one or more indicative properties, e.g., one or more of the cetane number, octane number, pour point, cloud point, octane number, and aniline point of oil fractions, from the density and time of flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) of a sample of an oil sample.

Abstract: Hydrocracked bottoms fractions are treated to separate HPNA compounds and/or HPNA precursor compounds and produce a reduced-HPNA hydrocracked bottoms fraction effective for recycle, in a configuration of a single-stage hydrocracking reactor, series-flow once through hydrocracking operation, or two-stage hydrocracking operation. A process for separation of HPNA and/or HPNA precursor compounds from a hydrocracked bottoms fraction of a hydroprocessing reaction effluent comprises contacting the hydrocracked bottoms fraction with an effective quantity of a non-polar solvent to promote precipitation of HPNA compounds and/or HPNA precursor compounds. The soluble hydrocarbons in the hydrocracked bottoms fraction are separated into an HPNA-reduced hydrocracked bottoms portion that is recycled within hydrocracking operations.

Abstract: Oxidized disulfide oil (ODSO) solvent compositions are derived from by-product disulfide oil (DSO) compounds produced as by-products from the generalized mercaptan oxidation (MEROX) processing of a refinery feedstock. The oxidized disulfide oil (ODSO) solvent compositions comprise at least a primary oxidized disulfide oil (ODSO) compound selected from either water soluble or water insoluble oxidized disulfide oil (ODSO) compounds and in some embodiments at least 0.1 ppmw of a secondary oxidized disulfide oil (ODSO) compound that is a water soluble oxidized disulfide oil (ODSO) compound.
