Upgrading of LCO by partial hydrogenation of aromatics and ring opening of naphthenes over bi-functional catalysts

Available options to upgrade LCO to diesel fuel are: i) aromatic saturation (ASAT) ii) mild hydrocracking and iii) aromatic saturation followed by selective ring opening (SRO) of naphthenic structures. Although the above mentioned routes lead to significant product quality enhancement, they suffer f...
