| Abstract: | Upgrading of waxy Mumbai High vacuum residue was carried out at four different temperatures, viz. 430, 445, 460, and 475?°C in an autoclavable reactor. The temperature difference between the material at the wall and at the centre of the reactor was found to be as low as 0οC and as high as 10οC depending upon rate of coke formation at different severities. Maximum coke formation (23.31?wt%) was found at 475?°C and for the reaction time of 60?min. Maximum liquid and gas yield was found to be 55.96?wt% and 16.9?wt%, respectively at 475?°C and for the reaction time of 90?min. |
