Benefits of technology

[0004]The problem relates to providing a viable process for upgrading heavy oil to produce useful hydrocarbon products such as middle distillate fuels and the like, using equipment that is modular or relatively small in size so that the process can be conducted economically at locations closer to the source of the heavy oil and thus avoid the problems of storage and transportation incurred when using large central processing faciliti...

Embodiment Construction

[0067]All ranges and ratio limits disclosed in the specification and claims may be combined in any manner. It is to be understood that unless specifically stated otherwise, references to “a,”“an,” and / or “the” may include one or more than one, and that reference to an item in the singular may also include the item in the plural. All combinations specified in the claims may be combined in any manner.

[0068]The term “heavy oil” refers to C5+ hydrocarbons produced by the gasification, liquefaction or pyrolysis of solid carbonaceous materials (e.g., coal, shale, tar sand, bitumen, biomass, and the like). Heavy oils may also comprise crude oil fractions with an initial boiling point of about 250° C. or above. Heavy oils include vacuum gas oils, atmospheric residiuum, vacuum residiuum, light catalytic cracking oil, heavy catalytic cracking oil, and the like. Heavy oils may have polyaromatic concentrations above about 2% by weight and total aromatic concentrations above about 10% by weight....

Abstract

This invention relates to a process for hydroprocessing heavy oil under process intensification conditions to form an upgraded hydrocarbon product.

Description

[0001]This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61 / 250,282, filed Oct. 9, 2009, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]This invention relates to a process for treating heavy oil. More particularly, this invention relates to a process for upgrading heavy oil by hydroprocessing the oil using process intensification techniques.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Untreated heavy oils are typically in the form of a dark brown, free-flowing liquids. Unconventional sources of these heavy oils include those made from the gasification, pyrolysis or liquefaction of carbonaceous materials such as coal, shale, tar sand, bitumen, biomass, and the like. These unconventional heavy oil sources are often distributed in locations far from large central processing facilities that are required to upgrade these oils to useful products such as middle distillate fuels, and the like. Additionally many of these oils...
