I am happy to share the achievement of publishing my first undergraduate research work. After a long process of editorial reviews, it has been published in the last volume of the Revista Ion, associated to the Universidad Industrial de Santander.
@candres9728@8SummerSchoolCo De igual manera, en estudios previos realizados en el grupo de investigación estos parámetros fueron sensibilizados encontrando que 270°C y 65h fueron las condiciones operacionales con mejores efectos en el mejoramiento del crudo.
Thanks for your interest in out poster “Effect of catalyst concentration on the viscosity of a heavy Colombian crude oil under steam injection process”. If you have any questions, please write them below 💪🏻@8SummerSchoolCo#8SSiCPoster
@candres9728@8SummerSchoolCo Hola Carlos, muchas gracias por su pregunta. Respecto a la selección de los parámetros operaciones se realizó haciendo un análisis de los rangos de aplicación encontrados en la literatura.
@javi1201@8SummerSchoolCo These reactions are the main reason for the changes in the properties of the crude oil subjected to steam injection conditions.
@javi1201@8SummerSchoolCo Dear Javier, thank you very much for your questions. Through the experimental design we wanted to evidence the influence of conventional and catalytic aquathermolysis reactions with the presence of the two catalysts.
@javi1201@8SummerSchoolCo Dear Javier, the crude oil used is heavy type with 12.8 °API, 5895 cP @ 44 °C and an IBP of 207.7 °C as its main initial properties.
@oemedinae@8SummerSchoolCo About the second question, during the laboratory tests, coke production was not obtained at any time in the reactor. For this reason it was not an analyzed variable since the operational conditions managed did not generate its appearance at any time.
@oemedinae@8SummerSchoolCo This effect generates the appearance of larger molecules by the association of unstabilized free radicals. This information can be consulted in more detail at the following link: https://t.co/sJIwTeXe4Q.
@oemedinae@8SummerSchoolCo It is a reflection of the decrease of the aromatic structures content as an influence of the thermal reactions. In the non-catalyst scenario, this value is low due to the effect of acid polymerization.
@oemedinae@8SummerSchoolCo Dear Oscar, thank you very much for your question. Regarding the decrease of the condensation degree, which is related to the condensation ratio of the aromatic rings to the sum of the aromatic C-H bonds.
