HEAVY OIL UPGRADING UNDER DENSE FLUID PHASE CONDITIONS UTILIZING EMULSIFIED FEED STOCKS

摘要

MFE-P-2944 A process for upgrading heavy hydrocarbons in an emulsion through dense phase processing. The process involves subjecting a feed of oil in an immiscible solvent emulsion to supercritical conditions to facilitate separation of the heavy hydrocarbons into light hydrocarbons with greater value and more uses.
