摘要:
A process to increase the capacity of the adsorbent in a normal paraffin adsorption separation system is presented. A tertiary flush stream is used to improve the capacity of the simulated moving bed system by flushing residual raffinate from the feed transfer line. The flushing removes residual raffinate containing desorbent that competes with the adsorption of normal paraffins from the feedstream. The flush stream is a material that will displace fluid in the column, but will not enter the pores of the adsorbent.

A pyrolysis oil composition by an oxygen-starved microwave process from an organic-carbon-containing feedstock is described. Feedstock is introduced into a substantially microwave-transparent reaction chamber. A microwave source emits microwaves which are directed through the microwave-transparent wall of the reaction chamber to impinge on the feedstock within the reaction chamber. The microwave source may be rotated relative to the reaction chamber. The feedstock is subjected to microwaves until the desired reaction occurs to produce a fuel. A catalyst can be mixed with the feedstock to enhance the reaction process.
摘要:
A process and apparatus for upgrading a petroleum charge of crude oil or residual fractions thereof to provide a product with substantially reduced heavy metals content and Conradson Carbon number. The charge is dispersed into a descending curtain of heated, substantially inert contact material. This contact material preferably has a conversion rate not substantially greater than 10% in the CAT D test. The vapors generated on contact of the charge with the curtain are collected immediately from the side of the curtain opposite from where the charge is dispersed. The collected vapors are cooled to avoid thermal cracking. The product is suitable for catalytic cracking or use as heavy fuel or heavy fuel precursor.

摘要:
An apparatus (10) and method for treating a liquid hydrocarbon stream useful as a precursor for transportation fuel and which contains an unacceptably high level of heteroatom compounds is provided for the removal of a significant portion of the heteroatom compounds from the hydrocarbon stream. The method and apparatus (10) employ an adsorbent which is brought into countercurrent contact with a hydrocarbon stream in an adsorption zone (12) to form a product hydrocarbon stream and a spent adsorbent stream. The adsorbent is recirculated to a desorption zone (14) and is thereafter brought into cross-current contact with a reactivating medium, such as hydrocarbon gas, at elevated temperatures to form a reactivated adsorbent stream and a hydrogen/heteroatom stream. The regenerated adsorbent is recirculated back to the adsorption zone (12) to form the adsorbent stream.
