Abstrakt: The article focuses on the optimization and integration of a solvent deasphalting and hydrocracking complex in a Saudi Aramco refinery to enhance profitability and meet asphalt demand while reducing low-value fuel oil production. It discusses challenges related to feed quality optimization, catalyst systems, and the molecular-level understanding of heavy crude to maximize distillate production and maintain catalyst effectiveness.
