The necessity of substantial emissions decrease from power stations has forced the direct impact on fuels structure change. Heavy fuel oils are gradually replaced with light oils and fuel gas. The growth of demand...

... Abstract Oil is a finite and scarce resource and it should therefore be used to the maximum extent possible to produce the high value "light" products for which it is still irreplaceable. Today's world refining industry, however, still produces by-products (petcoke or heavy fuel oil...

The necessity of substantial emissions decrease from power stations has forced the direct impact on fuels structure change. Heavy fuel oils...

... are faced with large quantities of visbreaker tar, asphalt or coke which have a high sulfur content (4-6 wt%) with primary consequences reflected in the potential for sulfur emissions. During the last decade global fuel oil sales fell from 25% to less than 16% of the total product demand barrel. Therefore...

... and contaminants content; increasing demand of low (1% wt) and extra low (0.3% wt) sulphur fuel oil, versus a strong reduction of high sulphur fuel oil; increasing demand of light and middle distillates; better integration between Refineries and Petro- chemical Complexes ; tighter environmental requirements...

... demand for fuel oil, increasing demand for high-quality distillates, and refinery-specific strategic and environmental concerns have renewed interest in converting the residual portion of the crude barrel. This paper reviews some of the more common residue conversion options. The impact of each option...

For the bottom of the barrel, carbon rejection and hydrogen addition technologies are analyzed, including residue hydrodesulphurization for low sulphur fuel oil production us. total fuel oil conversion...

... Abstract. The traditional hydrocarbon energy sources for the power generation sector have been coal, oil and gas. The fourth option, natural bitumen, had until now been ignored in spite of its obvious calorific potential (equivalent to fuel oil) and availability of world reserves (estimates...

... of feedstocks and product hydrotreatment options. This 15 TBPD HDH unit allows the refinery to reduce by 42 TBPD production of high sulphur fuel oil while 60 TBPD of heavy crude are incorpo- rated into the refinery slate. HDH installation in the Cardón refinery in Venezuela will achieve commercial process...

... visbreaker is used as feedstock and will be converted to cracker feed, which can be hydrotreated by the DESUlphuration-schwedt-Process, optimized for denitrification and partial dearomatization under medium pressure conditions. The HSC-bottoms are used as fuel oil for the existing power plant. They contain...

.... As the introduction of these feedstocks may not, in certain cases, be compat- ible with the declining demand for fuel oils, their use in the production of transportation fuels should be considered when developing a rational near-term approach to the long-term energy problem. This paper highlights the major refining...
