Influence of FeP and Al(H2PO4)3 Nanocatalysts on the Thermolysis of Heavy Oil in N2 Medium

Abstract: The high viscosity of heavy oil is the main challenge hindering its production. Catalytic thermolysis can be an effective solution for the upgrading of heavy oil in reservoir conditions that leads to the viscosity reduction of native oil and increases the yield of light fractions. In this study, the thermolysis of heavy oil produced from Ashalchinskoye field was carried out in the presence of FеР and Al(H2PO4) nanocatalysts at a temperature of 250 °C in N2 gas environment. It was shown that Al(H2PO4)3 and FeP … Show more

“…The model system was initially purged with nitrogen for 20 min at room temperature to provide the inert ambiance of the process. Within 1 h after that, the temperature in the reactor was increased up to 300 • C and kept for 24 h. The HPHT reactor was then cooled down to 25 • C. Similar conditions were applied in our previous studies [40]. It allows us to simulate the extremal conditions of the steam-assisted enhanced oil recovery used in Russia [41].…”

“…These types of hydrocarbons usually have a considerable proportion of large molecules, such as resins and asphaltenes [2][3][4]. Furthermore, these macromolecules also contain large quantities of sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen compounds, which can lead to various challenges in the production, transportation, and processing of this type of crude oil [5][6][7]. In addition, the rich metal-containing complexes such as vanadyl and porphyrin, as well as other heavier metals in the structure of the heavy oils, are prone to poisoning the active catalysts used during crude oil processing in refineries.…”
