Taylor, J L; Beaton, W I; Kolstad, J J

A process is described for simultaneously refining hydrotreated and low sulfur resid feed streams in a single solvent extraction unit having at least three successive solvent extracting separator stages, said process comprising the steps of: (a) providing a first source of hydrotreated resid; (b) providing a second source of virgin low sulfur resid; (c) mixing hydrotreated resid from said first source and a solvent; (d) feeding a mixture resulting from step (c) into a first of said separator stages; (e) mixing a separated top level output of said first separator stage and a low sulfur resid from said second source; (f) feeding a mixture resulting from step (e) into a second of said separator stages; (g) feeding a top level output from said second separator stage to said third separator stage; (h) withdrawing separated asphaltenes from said first separator stage; (i) withdrawing separated resins from said second separator stage; and (j) separating and withdrawing solvent and deasphalted oil recovered from said third stage.
