MRUS.

Multifractional Separation of Crude Hydrocarbons — a rectification cascade that turns any liquid hydrocarbon feedstock into narrow fractions and superpure components. Only electricity and raw hydrocarbons are required.

FEED 460–500 °C
CUTS 30–390 °C
01
Any liquid feedstock
Processes any hydrocarbon feedstock in the liquid phase — only electricity and raw hydrocarbons are required.
02
Visbreaking + alkylation
Heavy-fraction visbreaking combined with alkylation of products with C2–C4 gases in rectification columns.
03
30+ column cascade
Feed heated to 460–500 °C; at least 30 columns separate light products with boiling points of 30–390 °C, each column stepping 15–30 °C.
04
Second superpure circuit
A parallel circuit disassembles any narrow fraction into 5–10 individual superpure components worth tens of times more than motor fuels.
5–7× profitability
Extraction of superpure hydrocarbons — worth tens of times more than motor fuels — multiplies the profitability of the technology by five to seven times.
// THE CASCADE

30+ rectification columns

EACH COLUMN STEPS 15–30 °C
30 °C — LIGHT CUTS COLUMN 01 → 30+ 390 °C — HEAVY CUTS
FEEDHeated to 460–500 °C before entering the cascade.
SEPARATIONAt least 30 columns isolate light products with boiling points of 30–390 °C.
SUPERPURE CIRCUITA parallel circuit disassembles any narrow fraction into 5–10 individual superpure components.

NO WATER COOLING
Product streams are cooled by incoming crude — no coolants or air cooling used.
30% FEWER STAFF
Lower operating staffing requirement than a traditional refinery.
SCALES BY MODULES
Capacity grows by simply adding modules to the plant.
FLEXIBLE FEEDSTOCK
Switching Maya crude for Light Sweet raises diesel & gasoline yield to 80%.
// PRODUCT PERFORMANCE

14 base products from a single feed

YIELD STRUCTURE ON MAYA CRUDE — BASE CONFIGURATION
31
PRODUCTS — EXTENDED

The extended 50,000 bpd configuration yields 31 marketable products — from base oils to superpure n‑paraffins and solvents.

80%
LIGHT-PRODUCT YIELD

With Light Sweet crude instead of Maya, combined diesel & gasoline output rises to 80%.

// ADDITIONAL OPTION

FMR desulphurization — a rotating magnetic field in a 40‑ft container

2.5% → 0.5%
SULFIDE CONTENT IN RAW MATERIAL AFTER FMR TREATMENT
3D LAYOUT — FMR MODULE IN A 40-FT CONTAINER
FMR MODULE — 40 FT
DROP-IN PROCESS STEP
Added at the feed-preparation stage without changing the refinery’s existing process scheme.
HIGHER PROFITABILITY
Raises yield and product value at existing facilities; improves the grade of oil transported and refined.
COMPACT & CONTINUOUS
The module fits a standard 40-foot container and operates in continuous mode.
DEEP CLEANING
Separates sulphides, sulphates, oxides, hydroxides, salted metals and ferromagnetic elements.
