Patent ID: 8741129

Claim:
A process for producing a hydroprocessed product, comprising: sending to a hydroprocessing zone a combined feed comprised of a heavy hydrocarbon oil component, wherein the heavy hydrocarbon oil component has a 10% distillation point of at least 650° F. (343° C.), and a solvent component containing at least one single ring aromatic compound in which the solvent has an ASTM D86 10% distillation point of at least 120° C. (248° F.) and a 90% distillation point of not greater than 300° C. (572° F.), the solvent component comprising at least 50 wt% trimethylbenzene based on a total weight of the solvent component; and contacting the combined feed with a hydroprocessing catalyst in the presence of hydrogen in the hydroprocessing zone to form a hydroprocessed product.
