摘要： A pretreatment process is described for heavy hydrocarbon oil feedstock, such as oils extracted from tar sands. The feedstock is passed through a heated, continuous flow electron or x-ray treatment zone. The process is designed to allow the feedstock to be conditioned with ozone-containing air, steam or a hydrogen donor gas prior to electron/x-ray treatment. The ozone-containing air stream may be the stream produced in the electron treatment zone. After conditioning, the heavy oil is heated to a specified temperature and uniformly treated with high-energy beams of electrons or x-rays. A key feature of the invention is the electron/x-ray treatment zone may use multiple accelerators or a beam splitter to ensure acceptable dose distributions in the flowing feedstock. Another key feature is the recirculation of volatiles back into the feedstock. According to the novel feature, the process produces a treated feedstock having a lower average molecular weight and boiling point than the original feedstock, without significant coke formation. The fraction of gas oil collected during distillation is increased significantly.

摘要翻译： 对重质烃油原料（例如从焦油砂提取的油）描述了一种预处理方法。 原料通过加热的连续流动电子或X射线处理区。 该方法设计成允许原料在电子/ x射线处理之前用含臭氧的空气，蒸汽或氢供体气体进行调理。 含臭氧的空气流可以是在电子处理区中产生的流。 调理后，将重油加热至规定温度，并用高能量的电子束或X射线均匀处理。 本发明的关键特征是电子/ x射线处理区可以使用多个加速器或分束器来确保流动原料中可接受的剂量分布。 另一个关键特征是挥发物再循环回原料。 根据该新颖特征，该方法产生具有比原始原料更低的平均分子量和沸点的处理过的原料，而没有显着的焦炭形成。 在蒸馏期间收集的瓦斯油馏分显着增加。
