20080223754 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RESIDUE UPGRADING - Systems and methods for processing hydrocarbons are provided. A hydrocarbon can be distilled to provide a distillate, a gas oil, and a residue. The residue can include, but is not limited to asphaltenes and non-asphaltenes. The residue can be mixed with a solvent to provide a mixture. The asphaltenes can be selectively separated from the mixture to provide a deasphalted oil. At least a portion of the deasphalted oil and at least a portion of the gas oil can be hydroprocessed to provide a hydroprocessed hydrocarbon. At least a portion of the distillate and at least a portion of the hydroprocessed hydrocarbon can be cracked in a first reaction zone to provide a first cracked product comprising C2 hydrocarbons, C3 hydrocarbons, C4 hydrocarbons, and naphtha. | 09-18-2008 |
20090166250 | SYSTEM FOR UPGRADING OF HEAVY HYDROCARBONS - Systems and methods for processing one or more hydrocarbons are provided. One or more hydrocarbons can be selectively separated to provide one or more heavy deasphalted oils. At least a portion of the heavy deasphalted oil can be cracked using a fluidized catalytic cracker to provide one or more lighter hydrocarbon products. | 07-02-2009 |
20090166253 | PROCESS FOR UPGRADING ATMOSPHERIC RESIDUES - Systems and methods for processing one or more hydrocarbons are provided. One or more hydrocarbon feedstocks can be selectively separated to provide one or more light deasphalted oils. At least a portion of the light deasphalted oil can be hydrocracked to provide one or more hydrocarbon products. | 07-02-2009 |
20090166254 | HEAVY OIL UPGRADER - Systems and methods for processing one or more hydrocarbons are provided. One or more hydrocarbons can be selectively separated to provide one or more heavy deasphalted oils. At least a portion of the heavy deasphalted oil can be thermally cracked to provide one or more lighter hydrocarbon products. | 07-02-2009 |
20090166266 | INTEGRATED SOLVENT DEASPHALTING AND DEWATERING - A method for dewatering and deasphalting a hydrocarbon feed is provided. A hydrocarbon feed containing one or more hydrocarbons, asphaltenes and water can be mixed or otherwise combined with one or more solvents. The addition of the solvent sufficiently decreases the density of the hydrocarbon feed to enable gravity settling of the water phase, providing an oil phase containing one or more hydrocarbons, asphaltenes and solvents. The asphaltenes can be separated from the oil phase to provide an asphaltene mixture containing asphaltenes and a portion of the solvents and a deasphalted oil containing one or more hydrocarbons and the balance of the solvents. The solvents can be separated from the asphaltenes and deasphalted oil, and recycled to the initial mixing step wherein the solvent is mixed or otherwise combined with one or more solvents. | 07-02-2009 |
20090218255 | RECYCLE OF OLEFINIC NAPHTHAS BY REMOVING AROMATICS - Systems and processes for producing one or more olefins. A feed containing 90% by weight or more C | 09-03-2009 |
20090299119 | Heat Balanced FCC For Light Hydrocarbon Feeds - Systems and methods for processing hydrocarbons are provided. A first hydrocarbon feed containing one or more C4 to C20 hydrocarbons having a research octane number of less than 88 can be cracked at a first temperature and in the presence of one or more catalysts to provide a first cracked mixture. A second hydrocarbon feed can be introduced to the first mixture to provide a second mixture. The second mixture can be cracked at the first temperature to provide a second cracked mixture containing propylene and one or more hydrocarbons having a research octane number of about 88 to about 95, and one or more coked catalysts. | 12-03-2009 |
20100116711 | Systems and Methods for Producing N-Paraffins From Low Value Feedstocks - Systems and methods for producing n-paraffins are provided. The method can include hydroprocessing at least a portion of a kerosene fraction recovered from a thermally cracked hydrocarbon product to produce a hydroprocessed kerosene product comprising n-paraffins. The n-paraffins can be separated from the hydroprocessed kerosene product to produce an n-paraffins product. | 05-13-2010 |
20110094937 | Residuum Oil Supercritical Extraction Process - Systems and methods for processing one or more hydrocarbons are provided. A hydrocarbon can be selectively separated to provide one or more finished products and an asphaltenic hydrocarbon using a pretreatment process. The asphaltenic hydrocarbon can be selectively separated to provide a deasphalted oil and one or more asphaltenes. At least a portion of the deasphalted oil can be converted to one or more first products using a first post-treatment process. At least a portion of the one or more asphaltenes can be converted to one or more second products using a second post-treatment process. | 04-28-2011 |
20110185631 | Systems and Methods of Pelletizing Heavy Hydrocarbons - Systems and methods for pelletizing a molten heavy hydrocarbon that can be extruded from a drop former to create a plurality of droplets that are subsequently quenched in a cooling media to create asphaltenic pellets. The asphaltenic pellets can be solidified by transferring heat from the droplets to the cooling media to provide the solid asphaltenic pellets. The solid asphaltenic pellets can then be separated from the cooling media which can be recycled for use. | 08-04-2011 |
