Pilot plant thermal hydrocracking of GCOS (Great Canadian Oil Sands) bitumen. 1, The effect of heavy oil recycle on the plant operation / C.P. Khulbe ... [et al.].: M38-13/76-28E-PDF

"The objective of the present investigation was to determine the operability of the thermal hydrocracking plant using a recycle-oil stream to increase liquid velocity in the reactor, in an attempt to reduce sludge or coke formation. Life runs of about three weeks were conducted with heavy oil recycle fed to the bottom of the reactor. The two long experimental runs in this series, R-2-1-2 and R-2-2-4, are described in detail. All shorter runs in which recycling of heavy oil was attempted are also described. Of main concern in this report are those factors which influenced the steady operation of the pilot plant, such as coke formation and deposition of metal sulphide which caused fouling and line plugging"--Abstract, p. i.
