PROCESS OF HYDROCONVERSION-DISTILLATION OF HEAVY AND/OR EXTRA-HEAVY CRUDE OILS

摘要

A process for hydroconversion-distillation of heavy and/or extra-heavy crude oils, which comprises four stages: 1) desalting and separation of the feedstock; 2) catalytic hydrotreating of light fraction (optional); 3) catalytic hydroconversion of heavy fraction, and 4) distillation of hydrotreated products to provide products that can be processed in conventional refining schemes designed to operate with light and intermediate crude oils.
