Resid Hydroprocessing at Amoco

摘要: Abstract Future worldwide crude supply projections indicate a shortage of high-quality, low-sulfur crudes. Figure 1 shows that the sulfur, gravity, and l000+°F material will continue to degrade quality oil for U.S. refiners [1]. The availability more plentiful, heavier high-sulfur crudes creates several problems refiner. First, processing facilities are required remove sulfur from various fractions in crude, secondly, conversion convert concentrations 1000 + °F resid valuable products such as gasoline distillates. In conventional refinery, vacuum (1000 °F) is sold either residual fuel or asphalt, it thermally processed cokers produce coker liquids further processing, low-value petroleum coke. Because reduced markets fuel, coke, have had install expensive deal with larger volumes resids poorer qu...
