This course provides a comprehensive overview of fossil fuel cleaning processes, focusing heavily on methods for reducing sulfur and particulate emissions prior to combustion, which is stated to be more energy efficient than treating flue gases. It details various hydrodesulfurization techniques used in the petroleum industry to clean fuel oil, including the H-Oil process and Isomax processes, addressing challenges like catalyst poisoning by metals such as vanadium and nickel. Furthermore, the source examines sulfur removal from natural gas through processes like the Modified Claus and Haines processes, and explores developing technologies for coal desulfurization, such as the solvent refined coal process and devolatilisation. Finally, the text touches on global fossil fuel production, reserves, and consumption trends (as of approximately 1980) and discusses the potential of blending with petroleum coke as an alternative fuel strategy.
Fossil Fuel Cleaning Processes and Desulfurization Course is based on textbook learning material by Academy Europe.
Study Hard AND Study Smart!
Dear Students,
The textbook courses by Academy Europe are targeted at providing the students with the most important aspects of the theoretical and methodical materials. In addition, the textbook courses will also focus on the philosophical background for the development and use of the theoretical background and are thus to be understood as partly complementary to the material of the course notes. It is assumed and strongly suggested that the students study and become familiar with the course notes.
