摘要:
Hydrocarbon lubricants having a high viscosity index (V.I.) and low pour point are produced by hydroisomerizing a waxy lube feed such as slack wax or a waxy gas oil over zeolite beta after which aromatic components are removed by extraction, e.g. with furfural. The raffinate is then dewaxed, preferably by solvent dewaxing to target pour point with a final hydrofinishing step. The hydroisomerization coupled with the aromatics extraction and dewaxing increases the range of crudes that can be processed into high V.I. lubes while maintaining equivalent product qualities. Hydrogen consumption in the process is relatively low.
摘要:
Dewaxing, preferably catalytic dewaxing over zeolite beta or ZSM-5, improves the crackability of a heavy, waxy feed to a catalytic cracking unit. When the catalytic dewaxing occurs at temperatures above about 360.degree. C., using ZSM-5 dewaxing catalyst, high octane gasoline is obtained as a by product of catalytic dewaxing.
摘要:
An integrated refining scheme for hydroprocessing high boiling fractions such as gas oil and catalytically cracked cycle oils to produce premium quality distillates, especially jet fuels and naphthas suitable for reforming into high octane gasoline. In addition, unconverted, high boiling fractions suitable for processing by conventional refining techniques into high quality, low pour point lube base stocks are obtained. The integrated hydroprocessing comprises a first stage hydrocracking step employing an aromatic selective hydrocracking catalyst based on a large pore size acidic component such as amorphous alumina or silica alumina or a large pore size zeolite such as zeolite X or zeolite Y. The hydrocracking may be operated either in a naphtha directing mode under conditions of moderate to high severity or under conditions of low to moderate severity to produce a relatively higher proportion of product boiling in the middle distillate range. The unconverted fraction from the hydrocracking step is passed to a second step in which it is hydroprocessed over a zeolite beta catalyst with additional hydrogenation-dehydrogenation functionality. In this stage, the paraffins remaining in the feed are attacked by the zeolite beta to form isoparaffins and conditions may be controlled to favor hydroisomerization over hydrocracking so as to increase the yield of middle distillate product, especially of highly isoparaffinic jet fuels and diesel fuel.
摘要:
Hydrocarbon feedstocks such as distillate fuel oils and gas oils are dewaxed by isomerizing the waxy components over a zeolite beta catalyst. The process may be carried out in the presence or absence of added hydrogen. Preferred catalysts have a zeolite silica:alumina ratio over 100:1.
摘要:
The present invention pertains to a pervaporation membrane process for the separation of high octane fuel components from a gasoline feed stream comprising feeding a mixed phase vapor-liquid feed to a cyclone separation means to separate the liquid from the vapor, then sending the saturated vapor to the membrane, thereby extending the useful life of the membrane.
摘要:
A device for separating fuel components comprising a separating membrane for separating high-octane fuel components from un-separated fuel and a heat exchanger between first liquid passing through the heat exchanger and second liquid passing through the heat exchanger, is provided. The first liquid is un-separated fuel passing through the heat exchanger before being supplied to the separating membrane. The second liquid is low-octane fuel remaining when the high-octane fuel components are separated from the un-separated fuel, passing through the heat exchanger after changing to an almost liquid phase.

A device for separating fuel components comprises a separating membrane for separating high-octane fuel components from un-separated fuel, a heater for heating the un-separated fuel and a pressure apparatus for pressurizing the un-separated fuel. In the device, un-separated fuel is heated by the heater and is pressurized by the pressure apparatus such that the state of the un-separated fuel is changed to a mixed gas phase and liquid phase state of a gas weight ratio from 50% to 95% before coming into contact with the separating membrane.
