What is the Process that undergoes in Oil Preheating Furnace?

Crude Oil Entry: The desalted crude oil, which has already been heated and mixed with water to remove salt, enters the preheating furnace.

Heat Exchange: The furnace is typically designed with a series of tubes through which the crude oil flows. Hot flue gases, generated by burning fuel (such as natural gas or fuel oil), pass over these tubes, transferring heat to the crude oil.

Temperature Increase: As the crude oil flows through the tubes, it absorbs heat from the flue gases, gradually increasing in temperature.

Desired Temperature: The furnace is carefully controlled to ensure that the crude oil reaches the desired temperature, typically around 350°C to 360°C. This temperature is essential for effective vaporization of the lighter components in the crude oil.

Exit to Distillation Column: Once the crude oil has reached the target temperature, it exits the preheating furnace and enters the atmospheric distillation column, where the separation process begins.

✨ENDURING THE REFINING PROCESS. 💎The refining process is always an uncomfortable one yet necessary to get the best out of any raw material. ➡️To refine is to bring to a fine or a pure state; free from impurities or to elevate or to improve or perfect by pruning or polishing. 📌As a Total Transformation Coach, a lot of refining or polishing is required in transforming a person from the current state he/she is to an elevated, higher state. It can be a painful or irritating process that many will prefer to cut short and quit while undergoing the process. 📣God sees us not full of impurity, but full of potential. He is the Refiner and we are the lump of unrefined gold, full of impurity and full of potential beauty. 💎God works a similar process in us like the goldsmith does with the ores. Our lives are a process of God applying heat and exposing our weaknesses, our faults, our struggles and our impurities. Heat is hot and uncomfortable, but if we submit to the heat, we are day by day transformed into his likeness. ➡️1 Peter 1:7 says “Pure gold put in the fire comes out of it proved pure; genuine faith put through this suffering comes out proved genuine. When Jesus wraps this all up, it's your faith, not your gold, that God will have on display as evidence of his victory.” 📌Endure the refining process. Don’t run from difficulties and challenges in life. Just like pearls are made from irritations, let the irritations in your life become refined and transformed into something beautiful and more valuable. ✅It’s all working out for your good so you can fulfill the purpose you have been created for. 💎THERE IS BEAUTY AT THE END OF THE REFINING PROCESS. 💜ENDURE THE REFINING PROCESS OF TRANSFORMING YOU FROM GLORY TO GLORY.

Wealth

Last night's vespers included this quote.

Many who profess to be waiting for the coming of the Lord are absorbed in the things of this life. Many who are already wealthy think only of how they can obtain more wealth. They take little or no interest in the advancement of Christ’s kingdom. Dollars and cents are more to them than the souls of men. These may have earthly treasure, but in the sight of God they are poorer than the poorest. They may have houses and land and money at their disposal, but every year their soul-poverty increases. The record in the courts-above shows them to be bankrupt. They may be adding to their earthly gain, but each day they are adding to their eternal loss. {The Youth's Instructor, April 17, 1902, par. 3}

When I heard the quote, I immediately thought of certain individuals who were more concerned with money and status than in having a relationship with God. In fact, some of those same individuals were counseling me not to be a medical missionary because I would have no money if I became ill or needed surgery.

Then the speaker said this...

When the coronavirus hit, did you think of your stipend (or getting a paycheck) or how you could save souls for Christ?

WOW! That hit hard for me. Although I wasn’t too concerned about money, I also wasn’t thinking how to save souls for Christ. During this crisis, it has been eye opening as to where my heart truly is and how much more my character needs refinement.

@Regran_ed from @king_dnaknowledge - Petroleum Jelly, the main ingredient in Vaseline®, is often used in beauty products and even on its own to moisturize skin. It’s cheap. It’s unscented. It seems to work well for #softeningskin so what could be the problem? What is Petroleum Jelly? Petroleum jelly is a #byproduct of the #oil #refiningprocess This means it is not sustainable or #ecofriendly and it also explains some of the potential problems with using it. Petroleum jelly was originally found in the bottom of oil rigs and is further refined for use in the beauty industry. According to packaging and safety info all of the harmful components are removed before use in beauty or personal care products, but some sources argue that it still contains some harmful components (like hydrocarbons)How Does Petroleum Jelly Work on Skin? #Petroleumjelly is used in everything from lotions to baby products for its ability to create a #protectivebarrier on the #skin and hold in moisture. On labels, it may also appear as #Petrolatum #MineralOil #LiquidParaffin or #ParaffinOil While the ability to hold in moisture may seem like a good thing, it can have its downsides as well. Since petroleum jelly is both #waterproof and not water soluble, it creates a waterproof barrier on the skin. At first glance, this may sound good, but it also means that it blocks pores and can lock in residue and bacteria. This is also the reason petroleum jelly should not be used on a burn or #sunburn as it locks in heat and can block the body’s ability to heal. Also, while it certainly gives the appearance of hydrated and moisturized skin, this may be an #illusion as there is nothing in petroleum jelly that is actually #nourishingtheskin If you are looking for something to help hold in #moisture and nourish the skin 4 reason to stop 🛑 ✋🏾 1. It Contains Harmful Hydrocarbons The skin is unable to metabolize petroleum jelly, so it sits as a barrier on the skin until it wears off. This blocks the body from gaining any benefit from the substance. A 2011 study found strong evidence that the mineral oil hydrocarbons Vaseline contains are “the greatest contaminant of the human body #IAm_MsJohnson 💞 https://www.instagram.com/p/BrgHfemhvHZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cawwbhr3ty96

Major Equipment in Atmospheric Distillation Unit (ADU)

The Atmospheric Distillation Unit (ADU) is the primary processing unit in most oil refineries.

It separates crude oil into various fractions based on their boiling points. The following are the key pieces of equipment found in an ADU:

1. Crude Oil Preheat Furnace:

Purpose: Heats the crude oil to a temperature close to its boiling point before it enters the distillation column.

Type: Typically, a fired heater that uses fuel gas or oil to generate heat.

2. Atmospheric Distillation Column:

Purpose: Separates the heated crude oil into different fractions based on their boiling points.

Components:

Tray or Packing: Used to provide contact between the vapor and liquid phases.

Reboilers: Heat the bottoms product to generate vapor.

Condenser: Cools the vapor to condense it into liquid.

3. Fractionators:

Purpose: Further refine certain fractions (e.g., naphtha, kerosene) to meet specific product specifications.

4. Strippers:

Purpose: Remove lighter components from heavier fractions to improve product quality.

5. Heat Exchangers:

Purpose: Recover heat from the process to reduce energy consumption.

Types: Shell-and-tube, plate-and-frame, etc.

6. Pumps:

Purpose: Transfer fluids between different equipment.

7. Piping:

Purpose: Connects the various equipment in the unit.

8. Instrumentation and Controls:

Purpose: Monitor and control the process variables (temperature, pressure, flow rate, etc.).
