Refining and upgrading of synfuels from coal and oil shales by advanced catalytic processes. Quarterly report, October-December 1978
Pilot plant tests on the hydrotreating of SRC-II process product indicate that this coal-derived feed is a suitable feed for refining using advanced commercial petroleum processing technology. Experiments are in progress to evaluate several different combinations of refinery processes for conversion of SRC-II to transportation fuels. Nitrogen in the whole SRC-II process product can be reduced to a concentration of less than 0.5 ppM in a single catalytic stage. Sulfur and oxygen can also be reduced to low levels; and at high severity, most of the aromatic compounds are converted to napththenes. The naphtha appears to be an excellent catalytic reformer feed, and the middle distillate meets the smoke point and stability specifications for jet fuel. As the processing severity is decreased, product nitrogen increases; and the product becomes more aromatic.
