Question :

Q. 1) Define the method chemical treatment?

Answer: Chemical treatment (of hazardous waste) refers to the treatment methods that are used to effect the complete breakdown of hazardous waste into non-toxic gases or, more frequently, to modify the chemical properties of the waste, for example, through reduction of water solubility or neutralisation of acidity or alkalinity.

Wastewater Chemical Treatment Processes

Chemical Precipitation




Q. 2) Explain the method Gravity settling?

Answer: Settling is the process by which particulates settle to the bottom of a liquid and form a sediment. Particles that experience a force, either due to gravity or due to centrifugal motion will tend to move in a uniform manner in the direction exerted by that force. For gravity settling, this means that the particles will tend to fall to the bottom of the vessel, forming a slurry at the vessel base.Settling is an important operation in many applications, such as mining, wastewater treatment, biological science, space propellant reignition, and particle mechanics.

Applications: The solid-gas flow systems are present in many industrial applications, as dry, catalytic reactors, settling tanks, pneumatic conveying of solids




Q. 3) Define the method Electric desalter?

Answer: A desalter is a process unit in an oil refinery that removes salt from the crude oil. The salt is dissolved in the water in the crude oil, not in the crude oil itself.

Most typical methods of crude-oil desalting:

·         Chemical and Electrostaticseparation:Washing of the salt from crude oil with water oil and water phases are separated in a settling tank by adding chemicals to assist in breaking up emulsion or by the application of electrostatic field to colapse the droplets of saltwater more rapidly.



Q. 4) Explain in brief the term Dehydration?

Answer:Dehydration, also known as hypohydration, is not enough body water, with an accompanying disruption of metabolic processes. The term dehydration may be used loosely to refer to any condition where fluid volume is reduced; most commonly, it refers to hypernatremia (loss of free water and the attendant excess concentration of salt), but is also used to refer to hypovolemia (loss of blood volume, particularly plasma).

Question :


Q. 1) Define the term ADU (Atmospheric Distillation Units)?

Answer:Crude oil is sent to the atmospheric distillation unit after desalting and heating. The purpose of atmospheric distillation is primary separation of various 'cuts' of hydrocarbons namely, fuel gases, LPG, naptha, kerosene, diesel and fuel oil. The heavy hydrocarbon residue left at the bottom of the atmospheric distillation column is sent to vacuum distillation column for further separation of hydrocarbons under reduced pressure.

As the name suggests, the pressure profile in atmospheric distillation unit is close to the atmospheric pressure with highest pressure at the bottom stage which gradually drops down till the top stage of the column.





Q. 2) Define the term VDU (Vacuum Distillation Units)?

Answer: Vacuum distillation is a method of distillation whereby the pressure above the liquid mixture to be distilled is reduced to less than its vapor pressure (usually less than atmospheric pressure) causing evaporation of the most volatile liquid(s) (those with the lowest boiling points). This distillation method works on the principle that boiling occurs when the vapor pressure of a liquid exceeds the ambient pressure. Vacuum distillation is used with or without heating the mixture.

Laboratory-scale vacuum distillation is used




Q. 3) Define the term TTR (Top Tray Reflux)?

Answer:Top Tray Reflux : Reflux is only at top tray only

·         Reflux is cooled and sent into the Tower.
·         Heat input: Through Tower bottom.
·         Removal: at the top.
·         Thus requires large tower diameter.
·         Improper reflux and poor quality of fraction. Economic utilization of heat is not possible.





Q. 4) Explain the term ‘Distillation of Petroleum’ in brief?

Answer:Petroleum refining processes are the chemical engineering processes and other facilities used in petroleum refineries (also referred to as oil refineries) to transform crude oil into useful products such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), gasoline or petrol, kerosene, jet fuel, diesel oil and fuel oils.

Petroleum refineries are very large industrial complexes that involve many different processing units and auxiliary facilities such as utility units and

Question :


Q. 1) Define the term Blending in brief?

Answer:Blending in petroleum refining is the physical mixture of a number of different liquid hydrocarbons to produce a finished product with certain desired characteristics. Products can be blended in-line through a manifold system, or batch blended in tanks and vessels. In-line blending of gasoline, distillates, jet fuel, and kerosene is accomplished by injecting proportionate amounts of each component into the main stream where turbulence promotes thorough mixing. Additives including octane enhancers, metal deactivators, anti-oxidants, anti-knock agents, gum and rust inhibitors, detergents, etc. are added during and/or after blending to provide specific properties not inherent in hydrocarbons.




Q. 2) Explain the Blending process?

Answer:Petroleum refining begins with the distillation, or fractionation, of crude oils into separate hydrocarbon groups. The resultant products are directly related to the characteristics of the crude oil being processed. Most of these products of distillation are further converted into more useable products by changing their physical and molecular structures through cracking, reforming and other conversion processes. These products are



Q. 3) Explain the term line Blending?

Answer: Blending consolidates as the refinery’s last chance to impact profitability at low investment levels and approximately 50% of about 700 refineries worldwide have implemented such technology. Besides positively impacting the overall refinery production scheduling, in-line blending (ILB) operations at the end of the refinery allow for substantial benefits including end product giveaway minimization, lower inventory levels, optimized logistics and, therefore, reduced utility consummations and atmospheric emissions, economic savings in new hardware investment and maintenance, and operational safety.

The first step required to support a new




Q. 4) Explain the term Gasoline Blending?

Answer:The most important refinery product is motor gasoline, a blend of relatively low-boiling hydrocarbon fractions, including reformate, alkylate, aliphatic naphtha (light straight-run naphtha), aromatic naphtha (thermal and catalytic cracked naphtha) and additives. Gasoline blending stocks have boiling points which range from ambient temperatures to about 204 °C, and a flashpoint below –40 °C. The critical qualities for gasoline are octane number (anti-knock), volatility (starting and vapour lock) and vapour pressure (environmental control). Additives are used to enhance gasoline performance and provide protection against oxidation and

Question :

Q. 1) Explain chemical structure of Asphalt?

Answer:The primary use (70%) of asphalt/bitumen is in road construction, where it is used as the glue or binder mixed with aggregate particles to create asphalt concrete. Its other main uses are for bituminous waterproofing products, including production of roofing felt and for sealing flat roofs.

The terms asphalt and bitumen are often used interchangeably to mean both natural and manufactured forms of the substance. In American English, asphalt (or asphalt cement) is the carefully refined residue from the distillation process of selected crude oils. Outside the United States, the product is often called bitumen.





Q. 2) Comment. Action of Heat on Asphalt?

Answer:The great majority of asphalt used commercially is obtained from petroleum. Nonetheless, large amounts of asphalt occur in concentrated form in nature. Naturally occurring deposits of asphalt/bitumen are formed from the remains of ancient, microscopic algae (diatoms) and other once-living things. These remains were deposited in the mud on the bottom of the ocean or lake where the organisms lived. Under the heat (above 50 °C) and pressure of burial deep in the earth, the remains were transformed into materials such as asphalt/bitumen, kerogen, or petroleum.

Natural deposits of asphalt/bitumen include lakes such as the Pitch Lake in Trinidad and Tobago and Lake Bermudez in Venezuela. Natural seeps of asphalt/bitumen occur in the La Brea Tar Pits and in the Dead Sea.

Asphalt/bitumen also occurs as impregnated




Q. 3) Explain the types of Asphalts?

Answer:Asphalt is most well known as a road covering more technically termed asphalt concrete, but there are a few different forms in which the substance may appear. It is a naturally occurring material present in crude oil and in natural deposits, notably around certain bodies of water and in oil sands. This substance is found in either liquid or semi-solid form in nature and is characterized by its high viscosity and its sticky, black appearance. It consists almost exclusively of bitumen, a substance composed of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The major types used in construction are rolled and mastic.



Q. 4) Comment. Air blowing of Asphalt?

Answer: One hundred years after the fall of Constantinople in 1453, Pierre Belon described in his work Observations in 1553 that pissasphalto, a mixture of pitch and bitumen, was used in Dubrovnik for tarring of ships from where it was exported to a market place in Venice where it could be bought by anyone. An 1838 edition of Mechanics Magazine cites an early use of asphalt in France. A pamphlet dated 1621, by "a certain Monsieur d'Eyrinys, states that he had discovered the existence (of asphaltum) in large quantities in the vicinity of Neufchatel", and that he proposed to use it in a variety of ways – "principally in the construction of
