Abstract:
A method for upgrading a naphtha feed to a naphtha product containing less than 10 wppm of nitrogen and less than 15 wppm sulfur, the method comprising contacting said naphtha feed with hydrogen in the presence of a bulk multimetallic catalyst under effective reactor conditions to hydrodesulfurize and hydrodenitrogenize said naphtha feed to produce said naphtha product, wherein said bulk multimetallic catalyst comprises at least one Group VIII non-noble metal and at least two Group VIB metals.
Abstract:
A hydrodenitrogenation catalyst is prepared by decomposing a nickel (ammonium) molybdotungstate precursor and sulfiding, either pre-use or in situ, the decomposition product.

Abstract:
Methods are provided for hydroprocessing a feed (such as hydrotreating, hydrocracking, or hydrofining a feed) to generate a product with a reduced or minimized aromatics content relative to the severity of the hydroprocessing conditions. In some types of hydroprocessing applications, it can be desirable to select the severity of hydroprocessing conditions to achieve a desired level of removal for sulfur, a desired level for removal of nitrogen, and/or a desired level for increasing the viscosity index of a feed. The severity for heteroatom removal and/or viscosity index uplift can also correspond to an amount of conversion of a feed to lower boiling point products, so the lowest severity conditions suitable for achieving a product quality can be desirable. By improving the aromatics saturation during hydroprocessing, the severity of subsequent aromatics saturation processes can be reduced.
Abstract:
A method is provided for preparing a supported cobalt-containing catalyst having substantially homogenously dispersed, small cobalt crystallites. The method comprises depositing cobalt nitrate on a support and then heating the support in an oxygen-containing, substantially water-free atmosphere to about 16O0C to form an intermediate decomposition product. This intermediate decomposition product is then calcined and reduced.
Abstract:
Novel bulk tri-metallic catalysts for use in the hydroprocessing of hydrocarbon feeds, as well as a method for preparing such catalysts. The catalysts are prepared from a catalyst precursor containing an organic agent.
Abstract:
A method for hydroisomerizing a waxy feed to favor one of VI or yield is described. The method uses a unitized pellet powder catalyst comprising a metal hydrogeneration component, a first catalytic component selected from 8, 10 and 12 ring molecular sieves and mixtures thereof, and a second amorphous isomerization component which is an amorphous inorganic oxide. Importantly, the ratio of feed and second components are present in a predetermined ratio to provide a preselected acidity favoring one of VI or yield resulting from the hydroisomerization.
