Abstract
Abstract A DUO-SOL PROCESS WHEREIN A RESIDUUM IS SUBJECTED TO A COUNTERCURRENT LIQUID-LIQUID EXTRACTION PROCESS UTILIZING A PARAFFINIC SOLVENT TO EXTRACT PARAFFINS AND A POLAR SOLVENT TO EXTRACT AROMATICS, NAPHTHENES AND ASPHALTENES IS IMPROVED BY INTRODUCING 5-50 PERCENT OF THE POLAR SOLVENT INTO THE RESIDUM FEED STAGE. IN ANOTHER EMOBDIMENT, 1-5 PERCENT OF THE POLAR SOLVENT IS INTRODUCED INTO THE PARAFFINIC SOLVENT FEED STAGE. THE INVENTION IS PARTICULARLY USEFUL WHEREIN THE RESIDUUM CONTAINS A RELATIVELY HIGH AMOUNT OF ASPHALTENES.
