Thermal hydrocracking of Athabasca bitumen - reduction of reactor fouling / B. B. Pruden ... [et al.].: M38-13/76-33E-PDF

"The thermal hydrocracking process has been found, on the basis of short-term pilot-plant-scale runs, to give a high distillate yield and eliminate the production of waste coke in the processing of Athabasca bitumen. This work, in keeping with the Energy Research Program of the Canadian Department of Energy, Mines and Resources and its policy of ensuring the effective use of Canada's mineral and energy resources, was undertaken to further develop the thermal hydrocracking process. In particular, pilot-plant experiments of two to three weeks' duration (life runs) were carried out to establish suitability of the process over extended periods with regard to time-dependent processes such as coke formation and metal sulphide deposition"--Introduction, p. 1.
