Background
Handling heavy oil residues – but how?
Crude oil must be cleaned, broken and refined after production until the final products suitable for sale are produced. About 95% of the oils can be processed directly in refineries. Five percent of heavy oil are left. Hydroconversion helps to exploit these leftovers by producing clean fuels and petrochemical raw materials. Various catalytic processes remove heteroatoms, such as sulfur or nitrogen, and convert large carbon-water molecules into smaller ones. The hydroconversion ensures a clean, residue-free oil processing of almost 100%.
