Notes:
Aramco vacuum gas oil was catalytically hydrotreated to conversions of 20, 40 and 60%, and subsequently fractionated into naphtha, kerosene, gas oil, and hydrotreated vacuum gas oil. These fractions were thermally cracked to test their potential as feedstock for olefins and BTX production. The olefin yields from the hydrotreated vacuum gas oil obtained from hydrotreating with 40 and 60% conversion favorably compare with those of straight-run naphthas. Cracking in conventional naphtha/atmospheric gas oil units becomes possible. The naphtha, kerosene and gas oil fractions are preferably added to standard refinery streams.
