Abstract

Abstract Current practice subjects atmospheric residue (AR) to vacuum distillation, while feeding the vacuum residue (VR) for upgrading. This study explores the direct upgrading of AR and gauges the potential for eliminating the vacuum distillation unit, while recycling the upgraded oil to the atmospheric distillation column. Thermal cracking of Arabian AR and VR was carried out in an autoclave for 1 h at 400 °C. AR provided much higher liquid yield and quality with limited coke yield (
