UPGRADING BOTTOMS - 2. RESID HYDROCRACKING BETTER THAN DELAYED COKING IN CASE STUDIES

IFP North America Inc., completed a detailed economic comparison. The study compares delayed coking plus hydrotreating versus the H-Oil process (residue hydrocracking) at two conversion levels, moderate (65 vol %) and high (85 vol %), and on two different feedstocks, Arab Light/Heavy Vacuum residue and Isthmus/Maya vacuum residue. The cases enable refiners to examine the effects of heavy and very heavy crude on process performance, product quality, and overall economics. Hydrotreating was added to the delayed coking cases to meet the product quality specifications mandated by many refiners. Each case processes 38,000 b/sd of a nominal 565 degrees C+ vacuum residue.
