Steam heating reduces the consistency of base oil and facilitates lubricant production

Lubricating oil production process
The crude oil is first distilled under normal pressure to distill out the atmospheric tower bottom residue of light fractions such as steam, coal, diesel oil, etc., and then undergoes vacuum distillation to separate light, medium and heavy distillate oil. The vacuum tower bottom residue is then processed through After propane is deasphalted, residual lubricating oil is obtained. The prepared fractions and residual lubricating oil are refined, dewaxed and supplemented with refining respectively to obtain the lubricating oil base oil, which finally enters the finished oil blending process and is optimized for compatibility with additives, that is Get finished lubricants.
The role of steam generators in lubricating oil production
Finished lubricating oil is mainly composed of base oil and additives, of which base oil accounts for the vast majority. Therefore, the quality of the base oil directly affects the quality of the lubricating oil. That is to say, the steam generator that generates steam during the base oil production process is very critical. The crude oil is steam distilled under normal pressure in the steam generator to obtain coal, gasoline, diesel, etc., and then the light, medium, and heavy fractions are separated by vacuum distillation, and then lubricated through processes such as solvent deasphalting, dewaxing, refining, and supplementary refining. Oil base oil.
In addition, lubricating oil is a flammable substance. During production and processing, equipment with high safety performance must be selected to ensure production safety.
The temperature and pressure of Nobeth steam generator are controllable, and multiple safety protection devices can effectively prevent accidents and ensure production safety. Nobeth steam generator is the best choice for lubricant processing and production.
