Residue conversion is a necessity in the modern refinery in order to increase profitability through the increased production of transportation fuels.  Choosing the right residue conversion scheme has a significant impact on a refinery’s margin and profitability.  The traditional one step approach to residue conversion no longer represents the optimum solution.  This presentation will highlight the key role that Solvent Deasphalting plays in optimizing residue conversion schemes and cost effectively unlocking additional profits.
