Abstract

A process for producing pipeline-ready or refinery-ready feedstock from heavy hydrocarbons using a high-performance solvent extraction process with high local solvent-to-process fluid ratios yet maintaining low overall solvent- to-process fluid ratios, by first performing mild thermal cracking on the heavy hydrocarbons and then separating asphaltene-rich fractions from a resulting thermally affected fluid so that the high solvent-to-oil ratio portion of the process acts only on those asphaltene-rich fractions, and producing a dry, solid asphaltene as an end-product.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an optimized improvement of heavy hydrocarbons such as bitumen into lighter, more fluid products, and more particularly, into final hydrocarbons that are ready for refinery use and meet pipeline transport standards without the need for diluent additions product method. The produced solid asphaltene by-product is easy to handle and further process. The purpose of this invention is to improve Canadian bitumen, but it has general application to improve any heavy hydrocarbon. Background technique [0002] A low complexity, high throughput integrated process has been developed, tested and refined to improve the feasibility and economics of converting high viscosity hydrocarbons into desired refinery feedstocks. The concept of the integrated approach has been previously described in US patent applications US 13 / 037185 and US 13 / 250935 and validated with pilot plant (5BPD) and field trial stage-scale (1500BPD) facilities.
