Abstract: In recent years, the domestic demand of crude has depended on importing foreign crude at a high level, and the resource of crude needs to be utilized efficiently, slurry bed hydrocracking technology is a good choice to convert heavy oil into high-value transportation fuel and petrochemical products because of its high conversion rate and low quality feedstock. Several slurry bed residue hydrocracking technologies were introduced as follows: HDH plus technology of PDVSA, Uniflex technology of UOP, LC-Slurry technology and VRSH technology of CLG, EST technology of Eni, RMAC technology of RIPP. The technical characteristics of above processes were compared, and the technical difficulties of slurry bed residue hydrocracking were analyzed. It is suggested that the study of slurry bed residue hydrotreating process, engineering and catalyst should be strengthened.

Key words: slurry bed, residue hydrotreating, current situation, prospect
