Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use of coking and slurry hydroconversion for conversion of heavy oil feeds. The combination of coking and slurry hydroconversion allows for improved yield of liquid products while reducing or minimizing the consumption of hydrogen in slurry hydroconversion reaction stages. Coking and slurry hydroconversion can be combined by segregating feeds based on Conradson carbon residue. Alternatively, slurry hydroconversion can be used to process unconverted bottoms from a coking process.

Abstract: Improved yields of fuels and/or lubricants from a resid or other heavy oil feed can be achieved using slurry hydroconversion to convert at least about 90 wt % of the feed. The converted portion of the feed can then be passed into one or more hydroprocessing stages. An initial processing stage can be a hydrotreatment stage for additional removal of contaminants and for passivation of high activity functional groups that may be created during slurry hydroconversion. The hydrotreatment effluent can then be fractionated to separate naphtha boiling range fractions from distillate fuel boiling range fractions and lubricant boiling range fractions. At least the lubricant boiling range fraction can then be hydrocracked to improve the viscosity properties. The hydrocracking effluent can also be dewaxed to improve the cold flow properties. The hydrocracked and/or dewaxed product can then be optionally hydrofinished.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for sequential slurry hydroconversion of heavy oil feedstocks. One or more low pressure slurry hydroconversion stages can be used to perform a majority of the conversion of a heavy oil feedstock. The bottoms from the low pressure stages can then be slurry hydroconverted in one or more high pressure stages to further convert the feedstock.

Abstract: A method for the removal of nitrogen compounds from FCC feed or from catalytically cracked distillates including FCC cycle oils by using formaldehyde to selectively couple organic heterocyclic nitrogen species in the FCC feed or FCC distillate to form higher boiling coupling products out of the boiling range of FCC distillate. Removal of the nitrogenous compounds improves the operation of subsequent hydrodesulfurization steps needed for the distillate fraction to conform to low sulfur standards. The formaldehyde is preferably used in the form of paraformaldehyde. The reaction between the nitrogenous compounds in the cycle oil fraction with the formaldehyde is conveniently carried out in the cycle oil pumparound circuit of the FCC main column.

Abstract: This invention provides low sulfur fuels, particularly low sulfur bunker fuels, comprising hydroprocessed pyrolysis oil. The hydroprocessed pyrolysis oil can be produced using a catalyst suited to processing pyrolysis oils that may be relatively high in water content and under relatively low severity conditions to limit water formation, while making the hydroprocessed pyrolysis oil more stable than prior to hydroprocessing. The pyrolysis oil can be converted to a more stable hydroprocessed product, e.g., by converting at least a majority of the aldehydes, ketones, and/or carboxylic acids in the pyrolysis oil to more highly stable compounds, such as alcohols. The hydroprocessed product can be particularly suited as a blend component for producing a variety of reduced sulfur fuels.
