Petrochemical Engineering

1. Microfluidic devices applications in the petrochemical industry

The petrochemical industry plays a major role in the development of the world, as energy demands increase from day to day, petrochemical production also increases a lot which causes complex waste during the oil deep exploration, refining, and production. Petrochemicals include organic and inorganic toxic pollutants, organic pollutants contain complex polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that stay in the environment we live in, it is very harmful to the environment and human health, and the toxicity of these pollutants cause a very bad ecological disturbance in aquatic life, so human being think of some scientific methods to remove these pollutants via chemicals. The use of biological technology has moved this work forward a lot, mainly via bacteria and bacterial consortium. The petrochemical industry turns out to be competitive, and intensive and operates in a global product market, the production represents nearly 10% of the total petroleum which reflects the high value to the market compared with common fuels. It is one of the most common microfluidic devices applications in the market.

2. Peristaltic pumps and syringe pumps used in petrochemical engineering

Fluid control equipment plays an important role in petrochemical engineering. Petrochemical engineering is a part of chemical analytical engineering to refine petroleum or crude oil and then analyze the constituents with advanced technology or devices. Before analysis, the petroleum must be drilled out from the core of the earth and then go through a process of filtration, then it can be analyzed via the petrochemical systems in small sample volumes and get the test result. During this process, systems must be built to do this job, we offer high or low-flow rate peristaltic pumps for petrochemicals transfer and industrial syringe pumps for petrochemicals dispensing in a very small volume, sample analysis results help the whole project to move forward in the correct direction.
