METHOD FOR MOLECULAR CRACKING, HYDROGEN DONATION AND CRUDE OIL ENHANCEMENT, CARRIED OUT IN A CONTINUOUS-FLOW HYDRODYNAMIC-CAVITATION REACTOR.

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for molecular cracking, hydrogen donation and crude oil enhancement, which is carried out using a continuous-flow hydrodynamic-cavitation reactor, the method allowing the physicochemical properties of heavy crude oils to be enhanced, by means of the thermal cracking of the heavy fractions of a crude oil and the stabilisation of the free radicals formed during the cracking. The proposed method can be refined in a continuous-flow hydrodynamic-cavitation reactor that receives a principal working fluid from a production station or in a continuous-flow hydrodynamic-cavitation reactor intended for laboratory testing, the principal working fluid being received from a test tank by means of which it is possible to achieve conditions similar to those of the natural state of production of the fluid supplied.
