Refineries of Turkmenistan can produce innovative fuel

Production of unique AI-100 gasoline can start at the Seydi Oil Refinery.

On October 29, the permanent technological expert of CentralAsia.news, doctor of technical sciences, Allaberdy Ilyasov, in his regular publication, told readers about the fuel of the future, which can be produced in Turkmenistan at the Seydi Oil Refinery (SOR).

First, let’s find out what it is?

It is an innovative fuel, the start of production of which will significantly transform the qualitative growth of the technological level of the domestic oil refining industry. The difference between the indices of the popular AI-95 and AI-100 is only five points, but it is significant.

Numeric indexes in gasoline brands indicate the octane number of the fuel, that is, its detonation resistance when the air-fuel mixture is compressed in the cylinders. The higher the octane number of gasoline is, the more it is possible to compress the fuel-air mixture in the cylinders without fear of detonation. High-octane fuel makes it possible to create high-powered engines capable of providing high power and moderate fuel consumption with a small cylinder volume, which meets modern economic and environmental requirements.

The unique composition of the AI-100 high-octane fuel will make it possible to fully unleash the potential of modern highly accelerated engines and increase their efficiency.

Technical characteristics of the material

The component composition of AI-100 fuel differs significantly in comparison with AI-95 gasoline. The fuel contains an increased amount of high-quality deposit control components and a unique multipurpose detergent additive that keeps the fuel system clean while the direct-injection engine is running.

Experts from foreign companies have concluded that after 100 hours of engine operation, which is equivalent to 6 thousand kilometers, the use of the innovative AI-100 fuel avoids coking in the injectors and reduces the gasoline injection time. As a result, more complete and efficient combustion of gasoline is provided, the engine life and its economy remain at the original level, as in a new car.

During the development of the AI-100 fuel, the component composition of the fuel was significantly changed, compared to the AI-95: the content of aromatic hydrocarbons was reduced, the involvement of high-quality components with a low tendency to form deposits increased. Its application provides fuel economy and additional kilometers of mileage on one fuel tank, improved vehicle dynamics, also due to a higher fuel combustion rate.

New products will correspond to national and international standards

The creation of a new product was followed by the implementation of a large-scale program on the modernization of oil refining facilities in Turkmenistan. Calculations have shown that the production of a new type of gasoline at the refinery is possible if the hydroisomerization process is included in the scheme. Moreover, hydrogenation processes are relatively cheap in terms of operating costs. Reconstruction of the unit with the proposed hydrotreating of gasoline and reforming of gasoline to obtain a high-octane component, as well as the dearomatization of gasoline, will make it possible to produce high-quality refined products.

The use of modern solutions during the reconstruction of the installation will significantly reduce energy consumption during operation, increase the yield and quality of products in comparison with previously designed standard installations. The set of technical solutions and measures presented in the technical design will ensure the reliability, efficiency, safe operation of the facility, as well as environmental protection.

The technological scheme and hardware design of the reconstructed units of the installation will comply with modern foreign counterparts, the legislation of Turkmenistan in the field of industrial safety, guidelines for technical supervision, state, and international industry standards.
