Abstract
A process for the direct catalytic conversion of petroleum residual oils is disclosed wherein said oils, hydrogen and hot solid catalyst particles are contacted to form a suspension in a riser reactor thereby producing lower boiling components with the concomitant removal of impurities, e.g., metals, sulfur and nitrogen,, from the oils. Furthermore, the catalyst particles are regenerated in a partial oxidation mode, i.e. with oxygen and steam present to generate a synthesis gas comprising CO, CO.sub.2 and H.sub.2. Such synthesis gas can be subsequently shifted to produce a H.sub.2 --CO.sub.2 rich gas which could then serve as the hydrogen source in the riser reactor.
