Oil Product Quality Improvement Laboratory – Fuman Faculty of Engineering


The Oil Product Quality Improvement Laboratory at the Fuman Faculty of Engineering focuses on improving the quality of oil products. Although significant advancements have been made in the establishment of large refining and petrochemical units, and considerable progress has been made in the construction of equipment and designing processes for the production of various oil products and clean fuels, the research path for improving the quality of oil products remains open. This issue is of major environmental and economic importance.

The objectives of the laboratory include:

1) Investigating methods for improving the quality of oil products, focusing on a specific product that matches national priorities and addresses economic and environmental challenges related to its consumption or export.
2) Conducting experiments using laboratory equipment or creating experimental systems to improve the quality of oil products.

Available Equipment:
- Continuous Sulfur Removal System
- Horizontal Tube Furnace
- Oven
- Distillation Device
- Weighing Scale
- Ultrasonic Device
- pH Meter
- Magnetic Stirrer with Heater
- Laboratory Glassware

One of the most important devices in this laboratory is the continuous sulfur removal system, which is designed as a knowledge-based project. This system is capable of continuously removing sulfur from oil products and includes equipment such as:
- Three tanks as reactors or separators
- Ultrasonic reactor
- Gear pump
- Electric heating system
- Air cooling system
- Control and instrumentation system

This system can also be used to explore new methods for treating refinery wastewater, oil sludge, and more. Additionally, part of the hydrocarbon materials can be reintegrated into the production chain of hydrocarbons.
