In-situ processing has been suggested as an alternative for upgrading heavy oils and
bitumen directly in the reservoir. However, there is not much information on the kinetic of the …

Thermal hydrocracking and catalytic hydrocracking of heavy oil and model reactant have
been carried out to investigate the effect of dispersed Mo catalyst on slurry-phase …

The effect of reaction temperature in the hydrocracking of Maya crude oil using a slurry-
phase reactor was studied. The results indicate that the product distribution is clearly …

To gain a profound understanding of the reaction pathway and the controlling step of
residue oil slurry-phase hydrocracking over Fe 2 O 3 catalyst, a six-lumped kinetic model …

This chapter focuses on the analysis of the different kinetic models reported in the literature
for the in situ and ex situ upgrading of heavy and extra‐heavy crude oils using dispersed …

A detailed distributed lumped kinetic model for slurry phase Vacuum Residue
hydroconversion process (boiling range 525+° C) has been constructed. Simulated …

Steam injection with catalysts is a method with high potential for heavy crude oil recovery
and the fulfillment of fuel demand. This investigation aims to evaluate dispersed catalysts …

Slurry-phase hydrocracking (SPHC) of unconventional heavy feedstocks is considered as a
promising process to fill the gap between the ever-increasing demand for vehicle fuels and …

Discrete and continuous lumping models have been largely used to represent the reaction
kinetics. Recently, the use of more complex and fundamental microkinetic models to …

Process of parameter estimation of hydrocracking modeling has not received enough
attention which is actually indispensable. In this work, NSGA-ii was introduced to estimate …
