Abstract
A method of treating non-petroleum or renewable feedstock is carried out by introducing a non-petroleum or renewable feedstock containing gums and/or resins into a reactor at a flow velocity of from 20 ft/sec to 100 ft/sec. The feedstock is heated within the reactor to a temperature of from 700° F. to 1100° F. to convert the feedstock to a reactor product. The reactor product is cooled to form a cooled reactor product. Gases, metals, and water from the cooled reactor product are separated and removed to form a final product. The final product has a gum or resin content that is reduced by 10 wt % to 100 wt % by weight of the initial gum and resin content of the feedstock.
