Abstract
Vietnamese crude oil such as Bach Ho has a high paraffin content, and it must be processed in a different manner from ordinary crudes to obtain maximum fuel products. In this paper, we discuss the following: characteristics of Vietnamese crudes and distillates; experimental data on normal paraffin removal from distillates (mainly gas-oil fraction) to meet product specifications; and the applications of recovered normal paraffins. Design analysis and economics study are also conducted to illustrate the feasibility of the projects. In order to produce on-spec gas-oil from Bach Ho crude, normal paraffin extraction process using molecular sieve has been selected, and LAB (Linear Alkyl Benzene) and SAS (Sodium Alkane Sulfonate) productions from the recovered normal paraffins are discussed.
