An Experimental and Modeling Study of Vacuum Residue Upgrading in Supercritical Water

Arabian Heavy crude oil was fractionated into distillate and vacuum residue fractions. The vacuum residue fraction was treated with supercritical water (SCW) at 450°C in a batch reactor for 15 to 90 minutes. The main products were gas, coke, and upgraded vacuum residue; the upgraded residue consiste...
