| 20090127161 | Process and Apparatus for Integrated Heavy Oil Upgrading - A process and apparatus is disclosed for converting heavy hydrocarbon feed into lighter hydrocarbon products. The heavy hydrocarbon feed is slurried with a particulate solid material to form a heavy hydrocarbon slurry and hydrocracked to produce vacuum gas oil (VGO). A light portion of the VGO may be hydrotreated and subjected to fluid catalytic cracking to produce fuels such as gasoline. A heavy portion of the VGO may be recycled to the slurry hydrocracking reactor. FCC slurry oil may be recycled to the slurry for hydrocracking. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20100122932 | Integrated Slurry Hydrocracking and Coking Process - Integrated slurry hydrocracking (SHC) and coking methods for making slurry hydrocracking (SHC) distillates are disclosed. Representative methods involve passing a slurry comprising a recycle SHC gas oil, a coker gas oil, a vacuum column resid, and a solid particulate through an SHC reaction zone in the presence of hydrogen to obtain the SHC distillate. Recovery of an SHC pitch from fractionation of the SHC reaction zone effluent provides an additional possibility for integration with the coker, and particularly via the upgrading of the SHC pitch in the coker to provide coke and lighter hydrocarbons such as SHC vacuum gas oil (VGO). | 05-20-2010 |
| 20100122934 | Integrated Solvent Deasphalting and Slurry Hydrocracking Process - Integrated slurry hydrocracking (SHC) and coking methods for making slurry hydrocracking (SHC) distillates are disclosed. Representative methods involve passing a slurry comprising a deasphalted oil (DAO) produced in a solvent deasphalting (SDA) process, optionally with recycled SHC gas oil and recycled SHC pitch, and a solid particulate through an SHC reaction zone in the presence of hydrogen to obtain the SHC distillate. Recovery and recycle of SHC gas oil and pitch from the SHC effluent improves the overall conversion to naphtha and distillate products and decreases catalyst requirements. | 05-20-2010 |
| 20100243518 | Deasphalting of Gas Oil from Slurry Hydrocracking - Integrated slurry hydrocracking (SHC) and solvent deasphalting (SDA) methods for making slurry hydrocracking (SHC) distillates are disclosed. Representative methods involve passing a slurry comprising a vacuum column resid, a recycled, deasphalted oil obtained from SDA, and a solid particulate through an SHC reaction zone in the presence of hydrogen to obtain the SHC distillate. Fractionation or distillation in the SHC product recovery section yields a combined SHC gas oil/SHC pitch stream that is sent to SDA. In a representative embodiment, vacuum distillation in the SHC product recovery is avoided, thereby eliminating equipment that is often most susceptible to fouling. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100326883 | PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR INTEGRATING SLURRY HYDROCRACKING AND DEASPHALTING - Solvent deasphalting (SDA) is used to prepare a heavy hydrocarbon feed for further upgrading. An overhead deasphalted oil (DAO) stream is prepared for catalytic upgrading and an asphaltene stream is prepared for slurry hydrocracking (SHC). SHC product can be further deasphalted and the DAO can be separated from solvent in an upstream extraction column. | 12-30-2010 |
