Impact of excessive aromatics in oil sand syncrudes on production and quality of middle distillate fuels / M.F. Wilson.: M38-13/82-2E-PDF
"Increased production from oil sands and heavy crude deposits is expected in Canada during the next two decades. Current processes for upgrading Athabasca bitumen produce synthetic crudes of such high aromatics content that diesel and jet fuels produced from oil sand distillates do not meet current specifications. It is expected that the increasing demand for these fuels will exert pressure on existing refineries and some relaxation of specifications in Canada is anticipated. Doubts also exist regarding the "burnability" of heating fuels from synthetic crudes. Some progress is expected in future upgrading methods and in downstream refining. However, research and development in new process technologies will be required in order to solve these problems"--Abstract, p. i.
