METHODS FOR PRODUCING A CRUDE PRODUCT FROM SELECTED FEED

摘要

Methods of producing a crude product are described. A method includes providing a feed and a supported inorganic salt catalyst to a contacting zone. The feed has at total content, per gram of feed, of at least 0.9 grams of hydrocarbons having a boiling range distribution between 343 °C and 538 °C. Contact of the supported inorganic salt catalyst with the feed in the presence of a hydrogen source and steam is performed such that the supported inorganic salt catalyst becomes fluidized, and a total product that includes a crude product is produced. The crude product has a total content of at least 0.2 grams per gram of crude product of hydrocarbon have a boiling range distribution between 204 °C and 343 °C.
