摘要:
The present invention is related to the use of ethylene alkanoate-alkyl acrylate bipolymers with a high randomness monomers distribution, which are synthesized by semicontinuous emulsion polymerization process, characterized because it is carried out using slow addition rate of the pre-emulsion feeding ({dot over (q)}≤0.009 kgL·L−1·min−1), stabilized this last one by alkyl glycol ether type surfactants, at temperatures higher than 75° C. and with solids contents above 25 wt %, which avoids the formation of large sequences (blocks) of a same monomer. This structural characteristic gives the ethylene alkanoate-alkyl acrylate bipolymers a high efficiency as chemical agents for removal of complex water/crude oil emulsions of crude oil blends.

摘要:
Nowadays, one of the major problems of the oil industry is the presence of large amounts of water and salts, which cannot be efficiently removed by conventional dehydrating polymers. In addition, the acid stimulation operations of petroleum wells cause the chemical degradation of demulsifiers such as polyethers and phenolic resins, reducing drastically their efficiency as water and salt removers. Based on aforementioned, a series of new copolymers has been developed; these copolymers are combinations of an acrylic and an aminoacrylic monomer and they are synthesized by semi-continuous emulsion polymerization (under starved feed conditions), which ensures both the homogeneity of the different chains as well as the randomness of the monomers distribution. The solutions of one of these random copolymers have shown an efficiency similar or superior to combinations of two or three block copolymers (formulations), when they are applied in light or heavy crude oils. The acrylic-aminoacrylic copolymers show good performance as water/oil emulsion breaker initiators, coalescence agents of water droplets and clarifiers of the remaining aqueous phase. In addition, the chemical structure of the acrylic copolymers confers resistance to degradation induced by abrupt pH changes when acid stimulation operations of wells are performed.

摘要:
The present invention is an in-situ cleaning procedure for the recovery of catalytic activity of a based alumina HDS catalyst, molybdenum, nickel coated coke and contaminants and it has an HDS activity seriously diminished. The catalyst under study had between 13 and 18 wt % total carbon. Reformate, half the total volume, industrial toluene=35 volume % and Iso-propylic alcohol, 15 volume %, in order to reactivate a deactivated catalyst, a solvent mixture with the following volumetric ratio is prepared. Or it can also be used only reformate (100% volume). The solvent mixture is passed using a LHSV of 2 hr−1 for 72 hours at 50° C. or also using a recirculating three 24-hour cycles at 50° C. Option lasts 24 hours pure reformate LHSV=2h−1 to 50° C. The washed catalyst is fed back to the load reaction conditions maintained for 36 hours at 340° C., to initiate HDS activity balances. During this treatment oxides of molybdenum and nickel in the active phase are re-sulfided by increasing the HDS activity. The In-Situ Cleaning procedure to reactivate deactivated hydrotreating catalysts used to partially remove the carbon and increase the active phase of molybdenum di-sulphide, and also retrieve specific area, and hydrogenation sites that promote higher hydrodesulfurization activity of gasoil after this treatment.
