Processing heavy crudes: residuum hydroprocessing in the 80s

D.C. Green, D.H. Broderick

Abstract

Recent developments in residuum hydroprocessing reflect worldwide trends in product demands and crude oil quality. The challenge of the 1980s for the petroleum refining industry is to convert more of the heaviest portion of crude oil into more valuable transpotation fuels. It is believed that residuum hydroprocessing will contribute in an important way to meet new refinery demands. This paper reviews developments in residuum hydroprocessing, and how they reflect changes in crude oil supplies and the market for refined products. 23 refs.
