Abstract:
1. A process for the treatment of a hydrocarbon charge containing resin, at least 80% of the compounds of the charge having a boiling point which is above or equal to 340° C., said process comprising: a) fractionating the charge to recover: b) extracting at least part of the heavy fraction with a paraffinic solvent having 3 to 7 carbon atoms, to remove at least some of the resins contained in said heavy fraction and to recover a resin depleted fraction, c) in a stage separate from the extracting stage (5) and after removal of said paraffinic solvents from said resin-depleted heavy fraction, mixing directly at least part of the resin-depleted heavy fraction with at least one light fraction obtained in the fractionation stage, and d) passing the resultant mixture to a cracking stage.
