Reactor for reforming the heavy oil slurry was mixed with high activity catalyst composition of

摘要

The instant invention relates to a reactor useful in upgrading heavy oils admixed with a catalyst composition in a slurry. The liquid recirculating reactor of this invention employs a dispersed bubble flow regime, which requires a high liquid to gas ratio. A dispersed bubble flow regime results in more even flow patterns, increasing the amount of liquid that can be upgraded in a single reactor.
