Abstract
Methods and systems for converting petroleum based oil into fuel generally include forming a conversion mixture of an alcohol and a base, adding the conversion mixture to petroleum based oil (such as crude oil, used oil, used motor oil, and new motor oil) to form a reaction mixture, adding a high nitrate compound and an amino acid the reaction mixture, ozonizing the reaction mixture. The result may include a three phase system in which the bottom phase is asphalt oil, the middle phase is diesel fuel or jet fuel, and the top phase is sulfuric acid. The three phases may be separated to obtain the final diesel fuel or let fuel product. Additional cooling and/or filtering processes may be utilized to complete and/or optimize oil conversion.
Claims20
A method for converting petroleum based oil to diesel fuel or jet fuel, the method comprising:
- mixing an alcohol and a base to form a conversion mixture, said base being a base suitable for weakening and/or breaking bonds in hydrocarbon chains of said petroleum based oil and which cancels out acidic components of said petroleum based oil;
- adding said conversion mixture to said petroleum based oil to form a reaction mixture;
- heating said reaction mixture to a temperature of between 200° F. and 400° F. for a period of at least 1 hour,
- cooling said reaction mixture to a temperature less than 70° F.;
- adding a high nitrate compound to said reaction mixture;
- adding an amino acid to said reaction mixture;
- ozonizing said reaction mixture;
- and
- separating said reaction mixture into sulfuric acid, diesel fuel or jet fuel, and asphalt oil.
