Abstract

See full text

An evaporative solvent recovery section operates on a plurality of liquid product streams including a liquid stream of deasphalted oil and solvent, and a liquid stream of asphaltene and solvent produced by a solvent deasphalting unit. Heat is added to one of the streams for producing a heated liquid product stream that is flashed to produce a stream of vaporized solvent, and a stream of reduced solvent liquid product. The stream of reduced solvent liquid product is further processed, without the addition of a significant amount of heat, to vaporize substantially all of the remaining solvent therein, and heat contained in the stream of vaporized solvent is recovered by expanding the stream in a vapor turbine.
