发明名称 Methods and systems for producing reduced resid and bottomless products from hydrocarbon feedstocks
摘要 The present invention is directed to the upgrading of heavy petroleum oils of high viscosity and low API gravity that are typically not suitable for pipelining without the use of diluents. The method comprises introducing a particulate heat carrier into an up-flow reactor, introducing the feedstock at a location above the entry of the particulate heat carrier, allowing the heavy hydrocarbon feedstock to interact with the heat carrier for a short time, separating the vapors of the product stream from the particulate heat carrier and liquid and byproduct solid matter, collecting a gaseous and liquid product mixture comprising a mixture of a light fraction and a heavy fraction from the product stream, and using a vacuum tower to separate the light fraction as a substantially bottomless product and the heavy fraction from the product mixture.

主权项 1. A system comprising: i) an upflow reactor comprising: a) at least one injector at at least one of a plurality of locations along the upflow reactor, the at least one injector for introducing the heavy hydrocarbon feedstock into the upflow reactor,b) a particulate heat carrier, the particulate heat carrier present at a loading ratio of about 10:1 to about 200:1 with respect to the heavy hydrocarbon feedstock;c) an inlet for introducing the particulate heat carrier, the inlet located below the at least one injection means,d) a conversion section within the upflow reactor; ii) a fractionation column, wherein the fractionation column is disposed upstream of the upflow reactor; iii) a vacuum tower; iv) a controller configured to determine the energy requirements of an oil production facility; and v) a recycling line operably connecting the vacuum tower and the upflow reactor for recycling at least a portion of a liquid product mixture to the upflow reactor.
