The pressure on top of the liquid in the vacuum receiver is 20 inches of mercury, vacuum. To calculate suction surface pressure use one of the following formulas: inches of mercury x 1.133/ specific gravity = feet of liquid. pounds per square inch x 2.31/specific gravity = feet of liquid.
Oleochemicals in the broad sense are chemicals derived from natural fats and oils, irrespective of whether they are derived from animal, marine or vegetable sources. Similar chemicals may be synthesized petrochemicals but they are classified as Synthetic Chemicals and not oleochemicals.Oleochemical Products.xamples of downstream oleochemicals and derivatives are fatty amines, soaps, alkanolamides, esters, etc. Uses of Oleochemicals. Oleochemicals are used as raw materials for detergents and cosmetics. They are used in the production of plasticisers and as additives for plastics, rubber and textiles.
Asia Pacific reportedly is the fastest growing market for oleochemicals with growth rate of 8.2% (2013-2018) and the region accounted for over 60% of the global capacity in 2011. Europe was the second largest market with 18% share of production.n North America, oleochemicals market revenue in 2011 was estimated at $3.53bn and expected to reach $3.91bn in 2018. According to Transparency Market Research, the global oleochemicals market in 2010 was estimated to be over 13m tons and is expected to reach 15m tons by 2018 at a growth rate of 6% from 2013 to 2018.
