  • Patent number: 8298377
    Abstract: Equipment and a process for upgrading oil are provided to produce a refined oil lighter than a material oil by cracking the heavier material oil with the addition of hydrogen under relatively relaxed production conditions. An equipment for upgrading oil according to one aspect of the invention includes an emulsion making portion (10), a refinery tank portion (20), and a heating portion (30), and configured to make an emulsion (E) by emulsifying ionized alkaline water (A) in a material oil (O1) in the emulsion making portion (10), and to drop droplets (D) of the emulsion (E) onto the surface (S) of a heat medium (O2) in the refinery tank portion (20) heated by the heating portion (30).

  • Patent number: 7985069
    Abstract: It is aimed to improve the heating efficiency of a poured raw material by efficiently creating a natural convection in a container. The interior of a container is constructed to have such a closed loop shape that a heating medium can be vertically circulated. A heated gas passage includes a lower heating section for heating the heating medium in a lower storage, and a lateral heating section for heating the heating medium, which was heated in the lower storage, in a first lateral section. A raw material is introduced to the heating medium which is flowing toward the lower storage in a second lateral section by being heated in the first lateral section, thereby promoting the circulation of the heating medium. In heat transferring pipes, the raw material is boiled to create drive forces for circulating the heating medium.
