  • FLUID CATALYTIC CRACKING OF TIGHT OIL RESID
    Publication number: 20180371332
    Abstract: Methods are provided for FCC processing of atmospheric resid boiling range feedstocks derived from tight oils. Due to low contents of metals, sulfur, and/or coke-forming compounds, an atmospheric resid boiling range fraction derived from a tight oil feedstock that includes a substantial 1050° F.+ (566° C.+) portion can be suitable for processing in an FCC reactor. This can allow the atmospheric resid boiling range portion of a tight oil feedstock to be processed in an FCC reactor without requiring a vacuum distillation.

  • Corrosion resistant material for reduced fouling, a heat transfer component having reduced fouling and a method for reducing fouling in a refinery
    Patent number: 8469081
    Abstract: A method and device for reducing sulfidation corrosion and depositional fouling in heat transfer components within a refining or petrochemical facility is disclosed. The heat transfer components are formed from a corrosion and fouling resistant steel composition containing a Cr-enriched layer having a surface roughness of less than 40 micro inches (1.1 ?m) and a protective layer formed thereon.
