Abstract

Discusses problems of evaluation of direct distillability of residual fuels, i.e., presence in them of residues of oil refining destructive processes.  

Authors describe the weaknesses of current methods of evaluation of direct distillability.  They propose a new method of evaluation of direct distillability based on separation of residues from residual fuels and determination of asphaltene content in the residues.

The method provides reliable information about the presence of residues of destructive origin in the fuels.
