study of sulfur content in crude oil, gasoline and kerosene in some Iraqi oil fields and refineries

Abstract

Sulfur content in crude oil and petroleum products is a major problem, as the high content of sulfur in fuel leads to harmful emissions and leads to serious environmental and health risks as a result of emissions from sources that use gasoline as fuel for cars or kerosene as fuel for household heaters, causing serious emissions harmful to health. It is necessary to determine the sulfur content in crude oil, and to determine the type of crude oil (acid or sweet). comparing gasoline and kerosene sulphur content to international regulations to determine the extent to which oil refineries comply with internationally permitted limits and the extent to which sulphur content is linked to API Gravity sampling of several oil fields and refineries at varying intervals and distributed to nine provinces (Muthanna, Diwaniyah, Dhi Qar), Basra-Shuaiba, Maysan, Wasit, Baghdad-Dora refinery, Baiji refinery,The huss. It was concluded that Iraqi crude oil is sour, and laboratory tests showed that all refineries do not adhere to the limits allowed globally and domestically in terms of gasoline and kiros production, and the results showed a strong relationship between sulfur content and API Gravity.
