Petroleum oils are the basis for the production of individual group of lubricating liquids used for mold lubrication while glass wares production. It was established that residual basic oil produced at JSC “Ukrtatnafta” has better lubricating properties and thermal stability compared with MS-20 and I-40 commercial oils. Therefore it is recommended to use it during lubricating liquids production.
The investigation results about physico-chemical characteristics of I-40 and MS-20 commercial mineral oils are represented. It is shown that such oils may be the basis for the lubricating fluids used for press mold lubrication while glass containers production. Thermal stability of oils and their hydrocarbon fractions was studied. It was established that I-40 oil contains resins capable to form coke-like densification products while their burning. It is recommended to use MS-20 oil as the basis for lubricants.
Petroleum sludge composition and physico-chemical characteristic and thermal stability of its organic matter have been investigated. The regularities of sludge layers distribution in the storage ponds have been established.
