Description:
It is a common concern for refining industries to convert heavier fraction into more valuable and lighter products in response to the persistent trend of increasing demand for lighter clean products and decreasing demand for the heavy fuel oil. The refining technologies have been improved and modified to cope with such contaminants as asphaltene, sulfur, nitrogen and heavy metals (nickel and vanadium) contained in heavier crudes. Among various types of heavy oil upgrading processes, the liability and economics of such processes as hydrocracking much depend on the catalysts that play an important role. The catalyst performance in hydrocracking processes is greatly influenced by the contaminants that cause critical problem of deactivation due to coking and deposition of heavy metals on the catalyst. This problem can be overcome with the use of active carbon base catalysts. The experimental results presented in this work show that Iron-active carbon can enhance catalyst durability and it offers prominent commercial application possibilities for syncrude production. The hydrocracking experiments of heavy oil such as Maya are carried out and the characteristics of carbon catalyst are discussed.
