Lighten Up: Six Degree API Shift from Resid FCC Pretreat

摘要

At Borger in the Texas panhandle, ConocoPhillips operates a 140,000 BPD refinery and an 80,000 BPD Natural Gas Liquids complex. A basic refinery flow scheme is shown in Figure 1. An integral part of this complex is the Atmospheric Resid Desulfurization (ARDS) Unit 42, which pretreats feed for the two Heavy Oil Cracker (HOC) FCC units.
