Effect of finely divided sub-bituminous coal addition on hydrocracking pilot plant operation / R. Ranganathan, B.B. Pruden and J.M. Denis. : M38-13/77-62E-PDF

"The thermal hydrocracking process was evaluated when Athabasca bitumen was reacted with hydrogen, with or without the addition of sub-bituminous coal. The hydrocracking was carried out at 10.44 MPa pressure and temperatures of 450° C and 455°C. The addition of coal improved plant operation by decreasing the total system pressure-drop and by reducing the amount of solids deposited. The total system pressure-drop was only about 400 kPa in the presence of coal, whereas without coal the pressure-drop was above 1200 kPa. Only 132 g of solids were deposited with coal compared with 6600 g without it. The coke precursors (asphaltenes and benzene insolubles) were also found to be less abundant in the presence of coal. The results clearly indicated that the addition of coal would make operation of the thermal hydrocracking process possible at low pressures"--Abstract, p. 1.
