PROCESS FOR PRODUCE LIGHT PRODUCTS AND FUEL OILS FOR CONVENTIONAL USE FROM HEAVY METAL AND SULFUR-RICH CRUDE OIL RESIDUES

摘要

The invention describes a process for producing light products, such as engine and diesel fuels, and fuel oils for conventional use by thermal conversion of heavy metal- and sulfur-rich-crude oil residue. Thermal cracking of the residues is done by mild cracking in several stages, where the residue remaining after separation of the conversion products of the preceding stage is fed to the respective subsequent stage.
