The invention relates to the production of liquid hydrocarbons of improved quality and consists of a method for treating liquid hydrocarbons by exposing them to an electromagnetic field, processing is carried out by a pulsed electromagnetic field of intensity 8 × 10 5 -2 × 10 6 A / m with a pulse frequency of 700-800 Hz and a duration of 0.009 -0.02 s. When the liquid hydrocarbons are processed from the pulse voltage generator through the switching leads 5 to the inductor 2 located inside the sealed tube installed in the hydrocarbon tank 3, the voltage of the predetermined pulse is applied, as a result of which an electromagnetic field with the necessary (predetermined) parameters appears in the vessel.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to the treatment of petroleum products, in particular to the treatment of liquid hydrocarbons.

A method for radiating hydroforming of petroleum fractions is known in which petroleum fractions are subjected to thermal cracking by mixing fractions with H 2 upon contact with a catalyst and simultaneous irradiation with a radioactive source (1).

The disadvantage of this method is the complexity of the method and its low productivity.

The closest in essence to the invention is a method for treating liquid hydrocarbons, in which liquid hydrocarbons are affected by an electromagnetic field (2).

The drawback of this method is its low productivity, due to the considerable holding time due to the influence of the electromagnetic field and the complexity of implementation due to the need to maintain the temperature.

The closest to the proposed device is a device for treating liquid hydrocarbons, comprising a container for treating liquid hydrocarbons, a system for supplying and withdrawing liquid hydrocarbons, and an exciter of the electromagnetic field / 3 /.

The disadvantage of this device is both the duration of the process and its insufficient reproducibility.

The object of the invention is to improve the technological properties of liquid hydrocarbons by changing their physico-chemical properties by changing the structure of the hydrocarbons to be treated.

The goal is achieved by the fact that in the process of treating liquid hydrocarbons by exposing them to an electromagnetic field, the treatment is conducted by a pulsed electromagnetic field of intensity 8 × 10 5 -2 × 10 6 A / m with a pulse frequency of 700-800 Hz and a pulse duration of 0.02-0.009 S, i.e. With a period of 3/4 p -5 / 4 p .

It is advisable in some cases to process liquid hydrocarbons immediately before their use.

The method for treating liquid hydrocarbons is as follows.

Liquid hydrocarbons are placed inside the solenoid, pulses from the voltage pulse generator (GIN) are applied to the winding (or windings) of the coil. As a result, a pulsed electromagnetic field with a strength of 8 × 10 5 -2 × 10 6 A / m and a pulse duration of 0.02-0.009 s occurs inside the solenoid. It is expedient, as shown by experiments, to perform processing during the action of 1-5 pulses.

The influence of the action of a pulsed electromagnetic field on heptane and toluene was studied experimentally. Changes in their macrostructure before and after pulsed electromagnetic processing were monitored by X-ray diffraction. The results of the study of heptane and toluene are given in Table. 1. It should also be noted here that for reasons caused by the experimental procedure, the data were removed after the liquid was processed in a pulsed electromagnetic field and the exposure was maintained after several hours. The minimum pulse and duration values ​​in the examples are 700 Hz and 0.009 s, maximum 800 Hz and 0.02 s, respectively, and the average values ​​(Table 2) are 750 Hz and 0.075 s.

Analysis of the data of Table. 1 shows that exposure to a pulsed electromagnetic field according to the proposed method leads to a decrease in the radiation of ( a ) molecular associates, but also to an increase in the ratio of the intensities of the asymmetric (I 1 ) and main maxima (I 2 ) of the interference. The numerical values ​​of the marked changes in heptane increase with the increase in the magnitude of the electromagnetic field. As a result of the analysis of tabulated data, the influence of a pulsed electromagnetic field on the physicochemical properties of liquid hydrocarbons, such as viscosity and flash point, is established. Thus, an increase in the ratio of the intensities of the asymmetric (I 1 ) and main maxima (I 2 ) of the interference shows that liquid hydrocarbons acquire a structured structure and, at the same time, their viscosity decreases.

When carrying out X-ray studies of gasolines, no changes in their radiographic characteristics were detected. However, it should be noted here that X-ray studies were carried out 15 hours after gasoline treatment in an electromagnetic field. At the same time, the processing of gasoline with a pulsed electromagnetic field, produced just before the use of gasoline in the engine of the GAZ-66 car, has significantly improved the performance of the engine. So, if without gasoline processing, the gasoline consumption of A-76 for 100 km of GAZ-66 vehicle run was 38 liters, then after processing gasoline consumption was reduced to 32 liters per 100 kilometers. After processing gasoline A-72, this gasoline was used in the car GAZ-66. Tests showed stable reliable engine performance with reduced fuel consumption.

Analysis of exhaust gases of the engine showed that in the same modes of operation of the engine and on the same gasoline after pulsed electromagnetic treatment (IMO) of gasoline, the concentration of carbon monoxide in the exhaust gases is reduced by half, and the concentration of unburned hydrocarbons by 10-15%

The results of measuring the content of harmful substances in the exhaust gases of a GAZ-66 vehicle at 1500 rpm are summarized in Table. 2.
