Improvement of petroleum of Tawke �?¢�?�?��?�?? Zakho crude oil using local clays

Abstract

S.A. Naman, K.A.Maher, R.P.Ibrahim

Evaluation of Tawke crude oil TW4 and TW8 through distillation cuts have been done by analysis chemical constituent (Gas chromatography) and measuring the (density, API, viscosity, pour point, flash point, water content, sulfur content, ash content etc., according both ASTM and IP methods). Improvement of this crude oil TW4 and TW8 have been done using three types of local clay. X-Ray analysis of these clays have been done and the chemical analysis of crude oil performed and compared before and after refluxing this crude oil using gas – chromatography. A series experiments have been done at a different percentage of clay, at different time of reflux and different temperatures and the changes in chemical constituent of this crude oil monitored by gas – chromatography analysis. Also Octane number of the distilled between (34 -200) °C have been measured.
