Study of the refining of synthetic crudes

; ; ;
A study of the refining of synthetic crudes, including solvent-refined coal SRC-II liquids derived from Pittsburgh seam coal, H-coal process liquids obtained from Illinois No. 6 or Wyodak coals, and Paraho shale oil, to transportation fuels via various processes by Chevron Research Co. showed that the over-all cost of transportation fuels from coal will be considerably higher than those from shale. When hydrotreating was conducted over Chevron ICR 106 or ICR 113 catalysts and hydrocracking over Chevron ICR 102 catalyst (Group VIII metal/silica/alumina), motor gasoline, kerosine jet fuels, diesel fuels, heating oil, and naphtha of excellent and similar qualities were obtained from all the coal liquids. The transportation fuels obtained from SRC-II oil were in 83-98% by vol over-all yields. The estimated minimum total investment for a mid-continent grassroots refinery to produce 50,000 bbl/day of gasoline alone, or combined with jet fuel or No. 2 diesel fuel from the SRC-II oil are $850, $700, and $500 million; minimum processing costs would be $16.5, $14, and $10/bbl of product, respectively (first-quarter 1980 basis). The total processing cost for Paraho shale oil was updated to approx. 55% higher than the 1978 estimate.
