Patent ID: 10836967

Abstract:
A system for co-processing crude oil with residuum includes an ebullated bed hydrocracking unit; an atmospheric distillation column fluidly coupled to the ebullated bed hydrocracking unit; a vacuum distillation column fluidly coupled to the atmospheric distillation column and the ebullated bed hydrocracking unit; and a deasphalting unit fluidly coupled to the vacuum distillation column and the ebullated bed hydrocracking unit; and a control system communicably coupled to the ebullated bed hydrocracking unit, the atmospheric distillation column, the vacuum distillation column, and the deasphalting unit. The control system is configured to perform operations including operating the deasphalting unit to produce a first cut that includes deasphalting oil, a second cut that includes resin oil, and a third cut that includes asphaltene.
