Industrial Application of Hydrogenation Processes in the Processing of Heavy Residues of Oil Distillation at TAIF-NK JSC

The article is devoted to the experience of the TAIF-NK JSC in the application of the process of combined thermal and hydrocracking for deep processing of heavy residues of oil distillation - vacuum residue and vacuum gasoil. The Veba Combi Cracker (VCC) process was taken as a basis and during the commissioning and pilot tests it was significantly improvedby the specialists of TAIF Group, as a result of which the Heavy Residue Conversion Complex of TAIF-NK JSC is the only one in the world, which allows heavy residues conversion with maximum recovery of high-quality light oil products. The implementationof the technology of combined thermal and hydrocracking at TAIF-NK JSC ensured 85.1% achievement of the refining depth and 80.7% yield of light oil products in 2021. A retrospective of the dynamics of indicators of the depth of oil refining and the yield of light oil products from the implementation of the project is showny.
