The methods for performing TBP distillation experiments are described by ASTM D2892 and by ASTM D5236. However, these methods are established for petroleum fractions that reach temperatures up to 565 ~C. In this work, two petroleum residues were distilled in a falling film molecular distillation prototype and the data were used to obtain the extension of the TBP curve above a temperature of 565 ~C. It was possible to extend the TBP curve of both petroleum up to temperatures close to 700 ~C with consistency and continuity in comparison to the standard curve. In addition, an amount of raw material that was been treated as residue could be reused.展开更多

The equation is tested by using the liquid viscosities of the petroleum fractions of typical American crude oils and crude oils from major oil producing areas. Good agreement between the predicted and experimental viscosities for the petroleum fractions is obtained.展开更多
