Paper Number: WPC-22-3989
... viscosity of the residual product. This reduction in viscosity is particularly important as the fuel oil produced has to meet certain specifications of viscosity, density and product stability. Increasing the severity of operating conditions results in increased conversion (defined as yield of fraction...
