The article New technology is intended to reduce energy consumption in oil refining by 90 percent first appeared in the online magazine BASIC thinking. About our newsletter UPDATE you start the day with excellent information. Researchers have developed a membrane that separates crude oil energy-efficiently by molecular size – without distillation. The technology could reduce energy consumption in oil refining by up to 90 percent. The refining of…
Replacing Crude Oil Fractional Distillation With Microporous Polyimine Membranes
Currently the typical way that crude oil is processed involves a fractional distillation column, in which heated crude oil is separated into the various hydrocarbon compounds using distinct boiling points. This requires the addition of significant thermal energy and is thus fairly energy intensive. A possible alternative has been proposed by [Tae Hoon Lee] et al. with a research article in Science. They adapted membranes used with reverse-osmosi…
