No More Residues! A cost-effective and efficient residue processing technology
Stricter environmental regulations and the increasing use of heavy, high-sulfur crude require the refineries to think about efficient solutions for the petroleum residues.
The Pöerner Group as a specialist for residue processing and bitumen technology provides advice, design and development of complete technology concepts for an ideally hundred per cent non-residue refinery.
A Solvent Deasphalting (SDA) plant combined with a Biturox® Bitumenplant is capable of processing various heavy residues entirely to become valuable products, such as DAO (Deasphalted Oil) and Bitumen.
A secure beginning
At company-owned pilot plantsin Germany and Austria and in cooperation with research institutes we design complete plants based on process simulations.
In this process the following components are determined:
- various feedstocks (vacuum or visbreaker residue etc.)
- the product qualities of
- DAO (CCR, S, V, Ni, Fe etc.) for FCC, hydrocracker, lube oil production
- Pitch (penetration, softening point, density, flash point, content of asphaltene, sulfur and paraffin etc.) for bitumen production
- the optimal process parameters, yields and solvents
- the sub-critical and super-critical operating conditions
Based on a comprehensive evaluation of all test and analytical data an optimized plant design is ultimately defined.
