In this paper, integration of a HDH pioneer plant of 15 TBPD into an existing refinery in Venezuela is presented as a solution to increase flexibility to process heavy oils. HDH is a new hydroconversion technology that converts over 90% of the bottom of the barrel into clean products with high liquid yields and quality, increasing middle distillates by 33%. The process does not leave any undesirable byproduct for disposal.
