395038 A Step Imbalance between Diesel Step-Wise Approach to Meeting the Growing and Gasoline Production

Mike Craig, Hydroprocessing, Axens North America, Inc, Houston, TX

This paper discusses a number of strategies that the US refiner can implement to increase overall selectivity to mid-distillates.  Specific examples regarding the conversion of FCC pre-treating to mild hydrocracking, full conversion of VGO to middle distillates with increased selectivity to diesel and the recent addition of new residue hydrocrackers to maximize diesel production are discussed.
