Aviation Turbine Fuels from Tar Sands Bitumen and Heavy Oils. Part 1. Process Analysis.

Abstract

Phase I work performed was directed toward defining the United States tar sands and heavy oil resources by a literature survey and the development of a preferred processing route that would produce quantities of JP4 and JP8 at optimum operating conditions attaining at least 70% energy efficiency and limiting coke and residual products to less than 10 percent. The overall objectives from this program are to provide cost, yield, chemical and physical properties of variable quality aviation turbine fuels produced from tar sands and heavy oils. Originator supplied keywords include: Tar sands; Heavy oil; JP4 jet fuel; JP8 jet fuel; Asphaltenes; Conradson carbon; Reduced crude conversion (RCC); Asphalt residual treatment (ART); Hydrotreating; Economics; Heteroatom.
