Light products from asphaltenic oil residues by flash-coking with the LR process and hydrotreating

Abstract

The project `Light products from asphaltenic oil residues by flash-coking with the LR process and hydrotreating` has been finalized with the achievements and conclusions described in the final report attached hereto. In a joint research programme, the French group Gerth, formed by the companies ELF, IFP and Total, and the German company Lurgi have investigated a new route of refinery technology. This route applies solvent deasphalting of heavy residues followed by flash-coking of the asphaltenes obtained and hydrotreatment of the products. The project was partly supported by the Commission of the European Communities. The project has a high potential of providing an increased yield of gasoline and fuel oil. The work programme commenced with the modification of a bench-scale flash-coking unit which simulates the LR coking process. Extended flash coking tests were performed with selected solid asphaltenes ranging between 40 and 53 wt% in Conradson carbon content. The results revealed a correlation of oil yield with flash-coking temperature and heat carrier recycle ratio. The lowest possible coking temperature and recycle ratio are preferable. LR flash-coking oil obtained was subjected to fractionation into naphtha, gas oil and vacuum gas oil distillate cuts. Inspection of products and subsequent hydrotreatment of coker distillates  More>>
