I 175 ei ii- IN ei N (57) : Systems and methods are provided for solvent deasphalting of steam cracker tar. The resulting deasphalted oil produced ---, from the steam cracker tar can then be hydroprocessed, such as hydrotreated and/or hydrocracked in a fixed bed reactor. The solvent I N deasphalting can correspond to a mild or trim deasphalting or can correspond to solvent deasphalting at higher solvent to oil ratios. 1-1 cz Performing a trim deasphalting can reduce or minimize the amount of deasphalting residue that is formed as a product from the dea- ei sphalting process.
