SOLVENT DEASPHALTING
A physical – separation based residue up-gradation process, separates vacuum residue on the basis of both molecular type & size.
Produces extra heavy viscosity lube base stock and / or feedstock for conversion units.
Pitch or Asphalt is obtained as bottom product

Deasphalting Solvents
Commercially used solvents are
LIGHTER SOLVENTS : PROPANE & ISOBUTANE
– Higher selectivity– Reject all resins and asphaltenes – Suitable for production of lubes oils
HEAVIER SOLVENTS : n-BUTANE, PENTANE (n& i) and LIGHT NAPHTHA
-- Less selective than the lighter solvents – Produce higher yields of DAO/DMO
(suitable as conversion feedstocks)

Processing of Asphalt
Process
BLENDING : Tailor made asphalt (bitumen) or fuel oil
VISBREAKING : Minimizes need or cutter stock
GASIFICATION : Hydrogen, steam and power production

DEASPHALTING: PROCESS VARIABLES
SOLVENT COMPOSITION– Blends of light hydrocarbon solvents– Increased operating flexibility
SOLVENT-TO-FEED RATIO (S/F)– Selectivity improves by increasing S/F at constant DAO
yield– Economically optimum S/F is used
TEMPERATURE / TEMPERATURE GRADIENTOil solubility in solvent– Decreases with increase in temp. (optimum temps)– Temp. gradient improves separation between DAO-Asphalt
phases
PRESSURE – Maintained above V.P. of solvent at operating temperatures.

stripping

Produced through vacuum distillation (broad cut ~ 370-540°C, typical)
•DAO / DMO
Produced through heavier solvent deasphalting

Feed Stock Characteristics and Their Affects
Feedstock for conversion processes like FCC and Hydro-cracking require control on contents of following impurities
NITROGEN SULFUR METALS (Ni & V) CCR ASPHALTENES
![Page 27: Mohan Konde HPCL Mumbai refinery SYMPOSIUM ON SOLVENT EXTRACTION REVISITED FEBRUARY 5 TH – 6th, 2010 IIChE (NRC) Auditorium NEW DELHI-INDIA Solvent De-asphalting](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c9d5503460f9495c6ec/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Effect of Impurities
NITROGEN
Nitrogen compounds neutralize acidic function of catalyst, essential for cracking
SULFURCauses corrosion and catalyst poison
METALSDeposit irreversibly on catalyst surface, influence life of catalyst
CCR / ASPHALTENESCoke precursors

Solvent Deasphalting –New Approaches
Residue Decarbonization Process / Technology (RDCP)
The process uses self catalysed reactor and combines with solvent deasphalting
Non-coking reactor produces light cuts / distillates
Heavy liquid phase is sent to deasphalting
Light cuts and deasphalted oil are blended to yield product for further processing
Yield of liquid products increases about 10 wt%
SDA process is being applied in many ways allowing the refiner to move towards zero fuel oil production
![Page 30: Mohan Konde HPCL Mumbai refinery SYMPOSIUM ON SOLVENT EXTRACTION REVISITED FEBRUARY 5 TH – 6th, 2010 IIChE (NRC) Auditorium NEW DELHI-INDIA Solvent De-asphalting](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c9d5503460f9495c6ec/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Conclusions SDA now is a widely adopted process in refineries for
production of lubes / conversion feedstocks
For better DAO/DMO quality and higher yields, towers with more efficient internals are being used
Conversion from sub-critical to supercritical mode of solvent recovery is continued world over for reducing operating costs
Capital cost reduction through better design of unit is being attempted
Improved process economy through effective utilization of asphalt product , e.g. as feedstock in IGCC unit for production of hydrogen, steam and power
