Study and Development of a New Method of Drying Petroleum Oils

Resumo

A new method of convective drying of mineral oils using high-speed jet devices is proposed. In contrast to those known earlier, it provides active hydrodynamic phase contact conditions, and reduces the required process time from several scores of minutes to 3–5 seconds. The device used is simple and compact. The jet-type drier with a delivery of up to 0.6 m³/h has passed laboratory tests successfully.
