Texaco has developed an ebullated bed hydrotreater/hydrocracker process called the T-STAR Process. This process is based upon the well known residuum H-Oil[reg sign] Process and Texaco's fixed bed hydrotreating/hydrocracking technology experience. T-STAR is ideally suited for hard to process feedstocks and for difficult processing requirements for the 90's such as FCCU feed pretreating, gas oil hydrocracking, and diesel aromatics reduction. The T-STAR reactors can be used in-line as hydrotreaters/hydrocrackers within an H-Oil[reg sign] unit. Pilot plant data are presented for several reactor/process configurations as well as commercial data and yields for a heavy gas oil operation. Texaco and HRI are offering the T-STAR Process to refiners for license and use.
