Abstract: Upgrading of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis product is accomplished by water washing the product effluent to separate oxygenates therefrom, separating the washed effluent to recover a C.sub.3 -C.sub.4 rich fraction, a C.sub.5 plus gasoline fraction, a light fuel oil fraction and a heavy fuel oil fraction which is subjected to hydrodewaxing conditions to produce additional light fuel oil and gasoline boiling product. The light fuel oil products were hydrotreated and the synthesis gasoline is octane improved with ZSM5 crystalline zeolite.

Abstract: A Fischer-Tropsch synthesis effluent is separated into gaseous, gasoline boiling, light fuel oil and heavy fuel oil products for upgrading to more desirable products by conversion over a special class of crystalline zeolites suitable for the purpose. Water washing of the separated fractions may be practiced to recover oxygenates from any separated fraction before further upgrading of oxygenates and hydrocarbons.

Abstract: Residual hydrocarbons stocks obtained after atmospheric distillation are converted into light distillates by certain sequences of processing steps including catalytic cracking, high and low pressure catalytic hydrotreatment, deasphalting, gasification and thermal cracking or coking.

Abstract: Hydrocarbon mixtures (e.g. "waxy" crude oils) are transported as a slurry by first fractionating the mixture into at least a relatively low pour point fraction and a relatively high pour point fraction. Thereafter, the high pour point fraction is congealed by dispersing it as particles into the bottom of a tower having a continuous stream of water flowing countercurrent to the dispersed fraction and wherein the water in at least the upper portion of the tower is at a temperature sufficient to congeal the dispersed particles. The particles pass upwardly through the tower and through an interface within the tower, the interface being the juncture of water and the low pour point fraction being introduced into the top portion of the tower. A portion of the resulting slurry is withdrawn and transported in a conduit at temperatures below those which bring about solution of the congealed particles in the low pour point fraction.

Abstract: A method for the operation of a hydrodewaxing unit wherein a petroleum distillate is separated into two streams, one having a pour point of above about 30.degree.F, and the other having a pour point of less than about 30.degree.F., the 30.degree.F plus pour point fraction is treated in a hydrodewaxing unit with a ZSM-5 type catalyst under hydroprocessing conditions while the 30.degree.F. minus pour point portion is untreated and combined with the hydrodewaxed product. The process yields a net production of hydrogen, and exhibits excellent catalyst aging characteristics.
