  • What technologies have been developed for heavy crude and residue oil upgrading?
  • A number of technologies have been developed over the years for heavy crude and residue oil upgrading, which include processes that are based on carbon rejection, hydrogen addition and combination of both routes , , most of them with proven commercial experience.
  • What technologies are used to upgrade heavy oil?
  • Typical technologies for upgrading of heavy oils Standard technologies developed for heavy crude and residue oil upgrading include processes that are based on carbon rejection, hydrogen addition and combination of these two routes. 2.1. Carbon rejection
  • Which process is used to upgrade crude oil?
  • Catalytic or hydrogen addition high-severity processes can be mainly used for full upgrading crude oil, while carbon rejection, ultrasound and solvent extraction can be applied for partial upgrading crude oil to transport. Hydrogen addition working at moderate severity can also be used for partial upgrading.
  • What are the enabling technologies for converting crude and residual to petrochemicals?
  • Currently, the enabling technologies for converting crude and residual to petrochemicals as mentioned earlier are steam cracking, gasification, catalytic cracking, while the feed type, and product demand primarily determine the process choice (Lin, 2000).
  • How to achieve the desired conversion levels for heavy oil processing?
  • For heavy oil processing, attaining the desired conversion levels requires the optimization of the catalyst properties (selectivity, activity, shape, size and porosity) as well as the adequate selection of the type of reactor, depending on the heavy oil properties.
  • Are emerging technologies able to handle heavy petroleum?
  • Emerging technologies are reported to properly handle heavy petroleum. With the increased production of heavy and extra-heavy crude oils, and the need to add them into the regular diet to refineries, there has been much interest for developing new technologies for upgrading those heavy materials.
