Description

Petroleum Products, Refinery Gases CAS NO 68607-11-4 represent a category of gaseous hydrocarbon mixtures produced during the crude oil refining process. These gases are critical for their high energy content and versatility as feedstocks and fuels across numerous industrial sectors. They are essential for energy generation, chemical synthesis, and as a direct fuel source in heavy industry.

Application

• Fuel Gas for Industrial Heating: Used as a primary or supplemental fuel in furnaces, boilers, and kilns within refineries, chemical plants, and manufacturing facilities.
• Chemical Feedstock: Serves as a raw material for the production of hydrogen, methanol, ammonia, and other petrochemicals via processes like steam reforming.
• Power Generation: Utilized as fuel for on-site power generation and in gas turbine plants to produce electricity.
• Refinery Process Fuel: Provides the necessary heat for distillation, cracking, and other refining operations within the same facility.
• Blending Component: Can be blended into pipeline natural gas or other fuel gas streams to adjust heating value and composition.
• Hydrogen Production: A key feedstock for hydrogen manufacturing units, which is vital for hydrotreating and hydrocracking processes.

Quality Control

Our refinery gases are produced and controlled under stringent quality management systems to ensure consistent composition and performance. Key parameters such as heating value (BTU/SCF), hydrocarbon composition (C1-C4), and impurity levels (e.g., sulfur compounds) are rigorously monitored. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific properties is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your operational specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. This product is gaseous and highly volatile. It must be stored in approved pressure vessels (e.g., gas cylinders, spheres, or pipeline systems) designed for hydrocarbon service, in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Storage areas must comply with all local and national regulations for flammable gases.
