Abstract

The thermodynamic premises for organization of refining of heavy petroleum feedstock by preliminary heating followed by pressure release are examined. This regime is meant to bring the temperature and pressure near the thermodynamic stability boundary (TSB) of the most thermostable components, determined by the second variation of one of the thermodynamic potentials being equal to zero. Relations were obtained that allow determining the conditions of preparing the feedstock for processing in the established conditions.
