The liquid products from Exxon Research and Engineering Co.'s Flexicoking process can be hydrotreated to give many desired products, including jet fuels, diesel fuels, and naphtha that is suitable for bimetallic catalytic reforming, without destroying the desired aromatics and naphthenes. Gas oil can be hydrotreated to satisfy fuel oil blending specifications or can be more severely hydrotreated in a GO-fining unit to make satisfactory fluid catalytic cracker feed, with 1200 ppm nitrogen, low (0.1-0.2% by wt) Conradson carbon residue, and low (0.05-0.1 ppm by wt) metals content. The feeds for, and the product quality obtainable by treating Arabian heavy, Prudhoe Bay, and South Louisiana crude oils in Flexicoking, naphtha Hydrofining, diesel/jet Hydrofining, and GO-fining units are discussed, and the advantages of the Flexicoking/hydrotreating route in concentrating the hydrogen added in the valuable liquid products are discussed.
