Water, for example, will evaporate into a gas and be sent back into the atmosphere, along with many other lighter and more volatile hydrocarbons. In some cases, these lighter hydrocarbons may also be sent off to a process flare system for burn off.
Many dissolved gases found in oil like oxygen, hydrogen, propane, methane, butane, and acetylene are easily separated from the main petroleum or hydrocarbon product when exposed to a vacuum. This is because gasses from the air have oxygen and when removed from oil, they will substantially decrease an oil's oxidation rate. This step is crucial to the overall optimization process because oxidation in oil- when combined with heat and pressure, will greatly influence an oil's rate of decay or additive package depletion.
Having a Vacuum
Oil Recycling Machine handy can dramatically extend the life of an oil product and decrease your plant's mechanical downtime and overall loss of production over time.
