  • Patent number: 10836967
    Abstract: A system for co-processing crude oil with residuum includes an ebullated bed hydrocracking unit; an atmospheric distillation column fluidly coupled to the ebullated bed hydrocracking unit; a vacuum distillation column fluidly coupled to the atmospheric distillation column and the ebullated bed hydrocracking unit; and a deasphalting unit fluidly coupled to the vacuum distillation column and the ebullated bed hydrocracking unit; and a control system communicably coupled to the ebullated bed hydrocracking unit, the atmospheric distillation column, the vacuum distillation column, and the deasphalting unit. The control system is configured to perform operations including operating the deasphalting unit to produce a first cut that includes deasphalting oil, a second cut that includes resin oil, and a third cut that includes asphaltene.

  • Publication number: 20200299594
    Abstract: Systems and processes for hydrotreating, splitting, and extracting a gasoil feed to produce a saturate-rich feedstock for olefin pyrolysis are provided. A gasoil feed is provided to a hydrotreating section to produce an ultralow sulfur distillate (ULSD) stream. The ULSD stream is provided to a splitter section to produce a light distillate stream and a heavy bottom stream. The light distillate stream is provided to an extraction section to produce an aromatic-rich extract phase and a saturate-rich raffinate phase. The raffinate phase is mixed with the heavy bottom stream to produce an olefin pyrolysis feedstock having a reduced BMCI as compared to the gasoil feed stream and the ULSD stream.
