Papers presented by various companies at the Opportunity Crudes conference held in Houston, TX in 2008.
Due to market trends favoring the use of heavier crudes, refiners have begun to focus on technology suitable for upgrading heavy feedstocks. The technology covered in this section of the Review visbreaking converts atmospheric or vacuum residues to gas, naphtha, distillates, and visbroken residue, reduces the quantity of cutter stock required to reduce fuel oil viscosity, and increases distillate yield. Commercial technology, plant operations, and the latest research and development works are evaluated.
