Process for the production of low-sulfur-content hydrocarbon mixtures

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7325105
Hydrocarbon mixtures having low sulfur contents are obtained from sulfur-containing vacuum gas oils by hydrodesulfurizing the gas oils under mild hydrodesulfurizing conditions, including use of (1) a select high-activity hydrodesulfurization catalyst, (2) a temperature 550 the range 550 to 850/sup 0/F, and (3) a hydrogen partial pressure in the range 300 to 800 psig. New and advantageous results are obtained by integrating the foregoing process with one or more other process steps including: (1) hydrodesulfurization of sulfur-containing vacuum residuum, (2) solvent deasphalting of vacuum residuum, or (3) hydrodesulfurizing a vaccum residuum and delayed coking at least a portion of the product. 26 claims, 4 figures.
