Thermal Degradation of Petroleum Residues in Production of Stable Residual Fuel Oil.

Determines the efficiency of the stages of liquid-phase thermal degradation of petroleum residues, light thermal cracking or exhaustive thermal cracking. Degree of thermal degradation established as a function of the fractional and group hydrocarbon compositions of the petroleum residue; Target designation of the process variants of liquid-phase thermal degradation; Methods of optimum design and operation of units for liquid-phase thermal degradation of heavy hydrocarbon feedstock.
