    摘要: An improved system for removing bitumen from tar sands comprises a pre-treatment system utilizing a vibratory load hopper for classifying and sizing said tar sand particles communicating with a dryer for heating and drying said tar sand particles to a predetermined temperature thereby controlling the moisture content of said tar sands. An extraction system is also included for accepting said tar sands from the dryer comprising a plurality of extraction vessels arranged in series for transporting said tar sands from a first extraction vessel to a final extraction vessel. Furthermore, a solvent system for supplying a predetermined volume of solvent flow through said extraction vessels is employed, whereby solvent is supplied to the last extraction vessel and a solvent and bitumen mixture is withdrawn from the first extraction vessel.

    摘要: Heavy hydrocarbon charges are converted in a deasphalting section in the presence of solvents and obtaining two streams, one consisting of deasphalted oil and the other one containing asphaltenes, mixing the deasphalted oil stream with a hydrogenation catalyst and passing the thus obtained mixture to a hydroprocessing section containing hydrogen or hydrogen/H2S, mixing the stream consisting of asphaltenes discharged from the deasphalting section with an appropriate hydrogenation catalyst and passing the obtained mixture to a second hydroprocessing section where it is reacted with hydrogen or a mixture of hydrogen and H2S, passing both the stream containing the reaction product with dispersed catalyst from the hydroprocessing section and the stream containing the reaction product with dispersed catalyst from the second hydroprocessing section, to one or more distillation or flash stages, whereby the more volatile fractions are separated from the distillation residue (tar) or from the liquid discharged from the flash unit, sending the distillation residue (tar) or the liquid discharged from the flash unit, containing the catalyst in the dispersed phase, with a high content of metal sulphides, produced by demetallization of the charge, to a second deasphalting section thereby obtaining deasphalted oil and asphaltenes.

    摘要: An inline bitumen froth steam heater system including steam injection and static mixing devices is provided. The system heats and de-aerates input bitumen froth without creating downstream processing problems with the bitumen froth such as emulsification or live steam entrainment. The system is a multistage unit that injects and thoroughly mixes steam with bitumen resulting in output bitumen material having temperature of about 190° F. The system conditions a superheated steam supply to obtain saturated steam at about 300° F. The saturated steam is contacted with bitumen froth flow and mixed in a static mixer stage. The static mixers provide surface area and rotating action that allows the injected steam to condense and transfer its heat to the bitumen froth. The mixing action and increase in temperature of the bitumen froth results in reduction in bitumen viscosity and allows the release of entrapped air from the bitumen froth.

    摘要: The present invention is a separation method and system in which granulation of coupled post-extraction asphalt residue is used to achieve deep separation of heavy oil. A dispersion solvent is introduced into the asphalt phase after separation by solvent extraction and the asphalt phase undergoes rapid phase change in a gas-solid separator and is dispersed into solid particles while the solvent vaporizes, resulting in low temperature separation of asphalt and solvent with adjustable size of the asphalt particles. The separation method of this invention also includes a three-stage separation of heavy oil feedstock, in which the deasphalted oil phase separated from heavy oil is treated with supercritical solvent and results in the further separation of the resin portion of the deasphalted oil, maximizing the yield and quality of the deasphalted oil. The processes and systems in this invention use atmospheric pressure and a low temperature gas-solid separator instead of a high temperature and high pressure furnace and do not require the feed pre-heating or heat exchange equipment at the inlet of resin separator column, resulting in a simplified process flow and reduced investment.

    摘要: A method for dewatering and deasphalting a hydrocarbon feed is provided. A hydrocarbon feed containing one or more hydrocarbons, asphaltenes and water can be mixed or otherwise combined with one or more solvents. The addition of the solvent sufficiently decreases the density of the hydrocarbon feed to enable gravity settling of the water phase, providing an oil phase containing one or more hydrocarbons, asphaltenes and solvents. The asphaltenes can be separated from the oil phase to provide an asphaltene mixture containing asphaltenes and a portion of the solvents and a deasphalted oil containing one or more hydrocarbons and the balance of the solvents. The solvents can be separated from the asphaltenes and deasphalted oil, and recycled to the initial mixing step wherein the solvent is mixed or otherwise combined with one or more solvents.
