Title: Innovations and Contributions of Inventor Sunil Kumar
Introduction
Sunil Kumar is a prominent inventor based in Dehradun, India. He has made significant contributions to the field of petroleum processing, holding a total of nine patents. His innovative approaches have led to advancements in the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of crude oil processing.
Latest Patents
One of Sunil Kumar's latest patents is a method for crude petroleum oil processing in the Crude Distillation Unit (CDU). This method aims to eliminate the need for stripping steam in the Atmospheric Distillation Column (VDC) of the CDU, resulting in a significant reduction in operating costs and alleviating corrosion in the overhead section of the ADC. The invention focuses on separating the components of crude petroleum oil using an innovative application of hydrocarbon vapor, which consists of a lighter fraction of crude and natural gas. Additionally, he has conceptualized new schemes for downstream processing of Light and Heavy gas oil (LGO and HGO) distillates to meet their boiling specifications.
Another notable patent is an integrated process for the simultaneous removal and value addition to sulfur and aromatic compounds in gas oil. This process involves the segregation of refractive sulfur and aromatic compounds in the heavy fraction of gas oil through distillation. It also includes the processing of lighter fractions and the raffinate of heavy fractions in a hydrotreating reaction zone under mild conditions. The outcome is gas oil with reduced sulfur and aromatic compounds, enhancing its quality for further processing.
