Transcription

1 10 th Russia & CIS Bottom of the Barrel Technology Conference and Exhibition (Russia & CIS BBTC) RSH Technology (TIPS RAS - CLG) for ultra-heavy feed processing Kadiev Kh.M. kadiev@ips.ac.ru Moscow of April,

2 Oil refinery objective processing of heavy feedstocks. Oil conversion depth 80 million tons of fuel oil produced in Russia in % were exported, only 20% left inside Russia. A clear trend outlined for reducing crude oil quality: high density, high viscosity, high content of metals, nitrogen, sulfur, higher acidity. That negatively influences the industry economy 2
