Processes for hydrotreating an effluent from a slurry hydrocracking process are described. Different streams are formed from the SHC effluent, and different hydroprocessing conditions are applied to the streams, e.g., more severe conditions are applied to streams which need additional hydroprocessing, while less severe conditions are applied to streams which do not need as much hydroprocessing. Common equipment is shared between different hydroprocessing steps.

A refinery built around a slurry phase hydrocracking process unit, such as a Veba Combi-Cracker (VCC), is simpler, produces more liquid product as transportation fuels and has much higher net cash margin than a refinery built around a coker or other bottoms upgrading processes. The VCC unit replaces one or more processing steps normally included in refineries as separate and distinct processing units including heavy distillate/gas oil cracking and optionally bottoms upgrading and deep desulfurization of diesel and gasoline range cuts. The refinery design is especially suited for heavy crude upgrading and can be tuned to provide a wide range of gasoline to distillate production ratios. The refinery design is bottomless in the sense that it produces no heavy fuel oil or asphalt as product and no solid fuel (e.g., petroleum coke).

The present invention relates to a method of making of hydrocarbon soluble metal composition comprising of one or more metals of group VIB of the periodic table, wherein the metal having 4+ oxidation state predominantly forms highly active metal sulfide catalyst for hydro-conversion of heavy oil feedstocks in liquid phase. More particularly, present invention relates to a hydrocarbon soluble metal composition comprising of reaction products of a metal source, a lipophilic phenolic acid, a surfactant and an organophosphorus compound. The present invention also provides a one-pot process for preparation of the hydrocarbon soluble metal composition comprising reacting a metal source, a lipophilic phenolic acid, a surfactant, an organophosphorus compound and water to obtain a reaction product and drying the reaction product to obtain the hydrocarbon soluble metal composition.

System and corresponding process for the hydroconversion of heavy oils essentially comprising a reactor, a liquid-vapor separator and a section for stripping conversion products outside the reactor comprising an inlet conduit for the stripping gases located at a point on the conduit providing a connection between the head of the reactor and the liquid-vapor separator inclined, at least from the point of entry, upwards with a gradient of between 2% and 20%, preferably between 3% and 12%, with respect to a horizontal plane. The inlet conduit for the stripping gases is inclined with respect to the axis of the conduit providing a connection between the reactor head and the liquid-vapor separator through an angle of between 20 and 65, more preferably between 30 and 60, even more preferably between 40 and 50. The stripping gas delivered to the connection conduit between the head of the reactor and the separator flows in a downward direction.
