6.1 Crude oil
The most critical parameter affecting quality during oil extraction is the temperature of the crude oil entering the empty (air-filled) storage tank. Typically, the temperature of the crude oil at the stripper outlet is around 105°C. To minimize oxidation, the crude oil must be cooled to below 65 C and preferably to 35-40 C before being discharged into the tank. In addition, the filling pipe should be installed with the exhaust just above the base of the tank, to minimize oil aeration (figure 9).
For oxidation to occur, oxygen (from the air) must always be present....
