Descripción :	Old refineries were mostly designed and constructed to process light and medium crude oils and cannot operate with heavy or extra-heavy crude oils. Significant changes need to be done in such refineries if the decision is made to modify the regular diet from light to heavy petroleum, particularly in the bottom-of-barrel processing. Treating the heavy portion of petroleum, i.e. atmospheric and vacuum residua can be carried out by means of two types of technologies based con hydrogen addition and carbon rejection, both aiming at increasing the hydrogen-to-carbon ratio of the feed. Making the decision about which technology is the best for a particular case is not an easy task. Various aspects need to be taken into consideration such as type and properties of the crude oil to be refined, desired products, e.g. maximum production of gasoline or diesel, prices of oil and distillates, among others. In the case of new refineries, they can indeed be designed for processing heavy crude oils, aiming at generating as much profit as possible by converting crude oils into valuable products.
