Abstract

Color instability of heavy kerosene (HK) from refinery unit (RU) II Dumai occurred and caused a problem during the end product blending in long-distance facilities. RU II Dumai processes a blend of Indonesian crude (Duri, Banyu Urip and Sumatra light crude). Nitrogen compounds were suspected for causing the color instability in Dumai HK fraction. Total nitrogen in HK was measured by total nitrogen analyzer. Pre-concentration of nitrogen compounds in HK fraction was carried out by distillation. Compounds were identified by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS). From these experiments, nitrogen compounds in the form of amine compound have been noticed to be the factor in causing the color instability in Dumai HK fraction.
