Abstract:
A process for preparing a feedstock for a hydroprocessing unit, the feedstock based on crude oil containing asphaltenes and the process including mixing crude oil with a predetermined solvent in a ratio such that no aggregation of asphaltenes in the mixture takes place, and feeding the combined mixture to one or more hydroprocessing units.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for converting a hydrocarbon feedstock into olefins and preferably also into BTX, said converting process comprising the following steps of: feeding a hydrocarbon feed-stock to a first hydrocracking unit, feeding the effluent from said first hydrocracking unit to a first separation section, separating said effluent in said first separation section feeding at least one stream to a dehydrogenation unit, and feeding the effluent from said at least one dehydrogenation unit to a second separation section.
Abstract:
A sequential cracking process for the thermal cracking of a hydrocarbon feedstock in a cascade of cracking units wherein said hydrocarbon feedstock is heated in a furnace to a predetermined maximum temperature and thermally cracked in the cascade of cracking, such that the formation of coke is reduced.

Abstract:
A process for converting hydrocarbon feedstock into olefins and BTX including feeding a hydrocarbon feedstock to a first hydrocracking unit, feeding effluent from the first hydrocracking unit to a first separation section to be separated, feeding a steam including propane to a dehydrogenation unit, and feeding effluent from the dehydrogenation unit to a second separation section.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an integrated process to convert crude oil into petrochemical products comprising crude oil distillation, aromatic ring opening, and olefins synthesis, which process comprises subjecting a hydrocarbon feed to aromatic ring opening to produce LPG and subjecting the LPG produced in the integrated process to olefins synthesis. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a process installation to convert crude oil into petrochemical products comprising a crude distillation unit comprising an inlet for crude oil and at least one outlet for kerosene and/or gasoil; an aromatic ring opening unit comprising an inlet for a hydrocarbon feed to aromatic ring opening and an outlet for LPG; and a unit for the olefins synthesis comprising an inlet for LPG produced by the integrated petrochemical process installation and an outlet for olefins. The hydrocarbon feed subjected to aromatic ring opening comprises kerosene and/or gasoil produced by crude oil distillation in the process; and refinery unit-derived middle-distillate produced in the process. The process and the process installation of the present invention have an increased production of petrochemicals at the expense of the production of fuels and an improved propylene yield.
Abstract:
The presently disclosed subject matter relates to polycarbonate compositions and methods of manufacturing the polycarbonate compositions.

Abstract:
Method for treatment of pellets (1) comprising a thermoplastic polymer sheath (2) surrounding glass filaments (3), which glass filaments are covered at least in part with an impregnating agent and extend in a longitudinal direction of the pellets, the method comprising maintaining the pellets for a period of time at an elevated temperature. The method results in an improved impregnation of glass filaments in the pellets resulting in (a) lower amounts of glass separating from the pellets when such are subjected to repetitive mechanical loads and (b) less agglomerations of glass filaments in moulded products manufactured from the pellets.
