Comparison of thermal hydrocracking with thermal cracking of Athabasca bitumen at low conversions / R.B. Logie ... [et al.].: M38-13/78-20E-PDF
"The thermal hydrocracking process involves hydrogen addition as opposed to carbon removal in the thermal cracking process. Upgrading of Athabasca bitumen by thermal hydrocracking has been studied in the Energy Research Laboratory of CANMET for several years. This process allows flexibility in controlling pitch conversions, and at high conversions it produces more distillable oil than do coking processes. Low-conversion thermal hydrocracking is also important from the viewpoint of transporting the product through pipelines. The present investigation deals with low-conversion thermal aspects of hydrocracking. A comparison is made with data from thermal cracking or vis-breaking"--Abstract, p. i.
