Upgrading of Heavy Oil by Thermal Treatment with a Hydrogen Donor in a Continuous Flow Reactor

Article Preview

Abstract:

Thermal treatment of an inferior residue in the presence of a potential industrial hydrogen donor was conducted in a continuous flow reactor. Properties of liquid products and SARA compositions of residuals were analyzed. Moreover, stability of residuals was characterized by colloidal stability index. The results showed that in the presence of the hydrogen donor, the viscosities of product oils were reduced to a much lower point, the asphaltene formation of residuals was supressed and the stability of residuals was improved.
