Thermodestructive Distillation of Gasoil and Fuel Oil in the Presence of Ultradisperse Metal-Containing Catalytic Systems under Experimental Industrial Conditions.

The thermodestructive distillation of vacuum gasoil with the production of an ultradispersed catalytic system containing nickel was investigated. The results from the treatment of fuel oil with this catalytic system at a pilot plant are presented. It was established that in the presence of nickel 2-ethylhexanoate it is possible by thermodestructive distillation of vacuum gasoil up to 405°С to isolate 61.2 wt.% of distillate fractions. When 10 wt.% of the distillation residue formed during the distillation of vacuum gasoil was used in the treatment of fuel oil by thermal action 64.6 wt.% of distillate was obtained.
