Topic: The MicroDistillation Method to
Optimize Gasoline and Diesel Production
The boiling range distribution of petroleum fractions provides an
insight into the composition of feedstocks and
products related to petroleum refining processes. A summary of ASTM methods
(D86, D2887 and D3710) including microdistillation
and simulated distillation techniques will be presented. Data will show microdistillation precision comparison to the D86 lab
method and simulated distillation method on the 50% recovery point in gasoline
blenders. The application of the
smaller volume microdistillation technology can
result in cost savings and increased throughput by optimization of cut points
in gasoline and diesel production.

Important Note: The monthly luncheon meeting meal
costs to the ISA Texas Channel Section have risen sharply over the years, and
as a result, we must reluctantly raise our prices. Beginning in January,
students will remain be $5, and all others $15. Individuals who RSVP will only
have to pay $10. In a combined effort to increase membership, members who bring
a non-member will receive the non-member's meal at no cost. In order to redeem
this offer, members must present their ISA membership number and the COUPON with payment
