Title: Innovations of Yoshinori Mashiko
Introduction
Yoshinori Mashiko is a prominent inventor based in Kanagawa, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of oil refining, holding a total of 4 patents. His work focuses on innovative methods and apparatuses that enhance the efficiency of refining processes.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a method of refining heavy oil and a refining apparatus. This invention relates to a method in which grades of oil are refined according to their object from a feed oil. The method includes a solvent extraction process that obtains an extracted oil, followed by a hydrogenation process that subjects the extracted oil to hydrogenation in the presence of hydrogen and a catalyst to obtain a hydrorefined oil. The solvent extraction conditions are selected using the poly-aromatic concentration as an index for calculating the concentration of heptane insoluble components in the residue of the extracted oil that cannot be fractionally distilled.
Another notable patent is related to gas turbine fuel oil and its production method. In this process, feed oil undergoes atmospheric distillation, separating it into light oil or light distillate and atmospheric residue oil. The light distillate is then catalytically contacted with pressurized hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, executing a first hydrotreating step. Various fractions of the light distillate produced in the atmospheric distillation are treated together. The atmospheric residue oil is separated into light matter and heavy matter, with the light matter undergoing second hydrotreating to produce refined oil, which is mixed with refined oil from the first hydrotreating to prepare a mixture used as gas turbine fuel oil.
