Title:
PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A DIESEL FUEL STOCK FROM BITUMEN AND SYNTHESIS GAS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002077127
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A process for producing a diesel fuel stock from bitumen uses steam, naphtha and a hydroisomerized diesel fraction produced by a gas conversion process, to respectively (i) stimulate the bitumen production, (ii) dilute it for pipeline transport to an upgrading facility, and (iii) increase the cetane number of a hydrotreated diesel fuel fraction produced by upgrading the bitumen by blending it with the hydroisomerized gas conversion diesel fraction, to form the diesel stock. This diesel stock has a higher cetane number than that produced from the bitumen alone, and is used for blending and forming diesel fuel.
