Only low-sulfur vacuum residues were considered forthis study;
however, high-sulfur, high-metals-containing vacuum residues may
also be processed using this feedmanagement strategy, which will
help improve the
profitability of the refinery. ACKNOWLEDGM ENT
The authors would like to express their gratitude to the
Hindustan PetroleumCorp. Ltd. (HPCL) management team for its
encouragement and for providing theopportunity to present this
work.
