Abstract:
Systems, processes, and catalysts are disclosed for obtaining fuels and fuel blends containing selected ratios of open-chain and closed-chain fuel-range hydrocarbons suitable for production of alternate fuels including gasolines, jet fuels, and diesel fuels. Fuel-range hydrocarbons may be derived from ethylene-containing feedstocks and ethanol-containing feedstocks.
Abstract:
Es werden ein Verfahren und eine Anlage zur Herstellung von Olefinen aus Oxygenaten wie Methanol und/oder Dimethylether vorgeschlagen, bei denen zunächst die Oxygenate in einem Olefinsynthesereaktor zu einem Propylen, andere Olefine, Paraffine und Aromaten enthaltenden Primärprodukt umgesetzt werden. Das Primärprodukt wird in Kohlenwasserstofffraktionen unterschiedlicher C-Kettenlänge aufgetrennt, wobei kurzkettige Olefine wie Propylen gewonnen und neben weiteren Fraktionen auch eine C 7- -Fraktion erhalten wird, die C 5 /C 6 -Olefine enthält, sowie eine C 7+ -Fraktion, die Aromaten enthält. Aus letzterer werden die Aromaten abgetrennt und mit den C 6 /C 6 -Olefinen zu Alkylaromaten alkyliert. Diese werden vollständig hydriert und zum Olefinsynthesereaktor zurückgeführt, wo sie ebenfalls zu kurzkettigen Olefinen umgesetzt werden.
Abstract:
A product of reduced sulfur content is produced from an olefin-containing hydrocarbon feedstock which includes sulfur-containing impurities. The feedstock is contacted with an olefin-modification catalyst in a reaction zone under conditions which are effective to produce an intermediate product which has a reduced amount of olefinic unsaturation relative to that of the feedstock as measured by bromine number. The intemediate product is then separated into at least three fractions of different volatility, and the highest boiling third fraction is contacted with a hydrodesulfurization catalyst in the presence of hydrogen under conditions which are effective to convert at least a portion of its sulfur-containing impurities to hydrogen sulfide. The intermediate boiling fraction is contacted with a selective hydrotreating catalyst in the presence of hydrogen under conditions which are effective to convert at least a portion of its sulfur-containing impurities to hydrogen sulfide.
Abstract:
Low sulfur gasoline is produced from an olefinic, cracked, sulfur-containing naphtha by treatment over an acidic catalyst, preferably an intermediate pore size zeolite such as ZSM-5 to crack low octane paraffins and olefins under mild conditions with limited aromatization of olefins and naphthenes. A benzene-rich co-feed is co-processed with the naphtha to reduce the benzene levels in teh co-feed by alkylation. This initial processing step is followed by hydrodesulfurization over a hydrotreating catalyst such as CoMo on alumina. In addition to reducing benzene levels in the combined feeds, the initial treatment over the acidic catalyst removes the olefins which would otherwise be saturated in the hydrodesulfurization, consuming hydrogen and lowering product octane, and converts them to compounds which make a positive contribution to octave. Overall liquid yield is high, typically at least 90 % or higher. Product aromatics are typically increased by no more than 25 wt.% relative to the combined feeds and may be lower than the feed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for producing cumene and/or ethylbenzene from a mixed hydrocarbon feedstream comprising subjecting C6 cut separated from said mixed hydrocarbon feedstream to aromatization to provide an aromatization product stream and subjecting the thus obtained aromatization product stream to alkylation to produce an alkylated aromatic stream.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for producing middle distillates comprising, hydrogen, gasoline and middle distillate, which comprises at least the following steps: (i) dehydrogenation of a heavy naphtha; (ii) alkylation of the stream of dehydrogenated; and (iii) separation of at least a middle distillate and other fraction rich in gasoline; and wherein a total or partial separation of hydrogen produced in step (i) can be carried out between steps (i) and (ii) or between steps (ii) and (iii) in order to obtain a stream of hydrogen.
Abstract:
The invention deals with hydrocarbon feedstock molecular weight increase via olefin oligomerization and/ or olefin alkylation onto aromatic rings. Addition of a purification section allows improved unit working time and lower maintenance.
