摘要:
A process for the removal of trace quantities of polynuclear aromatic compounds from the vapor effluent of a hydrocarbon dehydrogenation zone containing normally gaseous olefinic hydrocarbons, trace mononuclear aromatic compounds and trace polynuclear aromatic compounds by contacting the hot vapor effluent of a hydrocarbon dehydrogenation zone with a cold lean liquid absorption stream to absorb at least a portion of the trace polynuclear aromatic compounds to produce a rich liquid absorption stream and a gaseous olefin-containing hydrocarbon stream having a reduced concentration of polynuclear aromatic compounds.
摘要:
A process for the production of a distillable hydrocarbon product stream from a first distillate hydrocarbon stream, a second distillate hydrocarbon stream and a waste lubricant stream by means of contacting the waste lubricant stream with a hot hydrogen-rich gaseous stream to increase the temperature of this feed stream and vaporize at least portion of the distillable hydrocarbonaceous compounds thereby producing a distillable hydrocarbonaceous stream which is immediately hydrogenated in an integrated hydrogenation zone. The vaporized waste oil stream is admixed with a first distillate hydrocarbon stream before introduction into the hydrogenation zone. The second distillate hydrocarbon stream is converted in a hydrocracking conversion zone in order to produce lower boiling distillable hydrocarbon products and an aqueous ammonia solution which is admixed with a partially condensed effluent from the hydrogenation zone in order to neutralize at least one acid gas. The resulting admixture is partially condensed to produce a hydrogen-rich gaseous stream and a distillable hydrocarbon product stream.

C.) and comprising trace quantities of heavy polynuclear aromatic compounds; (c) introducing at least a portion of the unconverted hydrocarbon stream into a hydrogen stripping flash zone with a first hydrogen-rich gaseous stream having a temperature greater than the hydrocarbon stream at flash conditions thereby increasing the temperature of the hydrocarbon stream and vaporizing at least a portion thereof to produce a vapor stream comprising hydrogen and hydrocarbon compounds and produce a liquid hydrocarbon stream comprising heavy polynuclear aromatic compounds; (d) contacting the vapor stream comprising hydrogen and hydrocarbon compounds with a hydrogenation catalyst in a hydrogenation reaction zone to increase the hydrogen content of the hydrocarbon compounds contained in the vapor stream; (e) condensing at least a portion of the resulting effluent from the hydrogenation reaction zone to produce a second hydrogen-rich gaseous stream and a liquid stream comprising hydrogenated hydrocarbon compounds; and (f) recycling at least a portion of the liquid stream comprising hydrogenated hydrocarbon compounds recovered in step (e) to the hydrocracking zone in step (a).

A catalytic process for generating at least one polyol from a feedstock comprising cellulose is performed in a continuous manner. The process involves, contacting, continuously, hydrogen, water, and a feedstock comprising cellulose, with a catalyst to generate an effluent stream comprising at least one polyol, water, hydrogen, and at least one co-product. The water, hydrogen, and at least one co-product are separated from the effluent stream and recycled to the reaction zone. The polyol is recovered from the effluent stream.

摘要:
A process has been developed for producing diesel boiling range fuel from renewable feedstocks such as fats and oils from plants and animals where the process provides for sulfur-component management. The process involves catalytically treating a renewable feedstock by hydrogenating and deoxygenating to provide a hydrocarbon fraction useful as a diesel boiling range fuel. A selective separation such as a hot high pressure hydrogen stripper may be used to remove at least the carbon oxides from the first zone effluent and provide a liquid recycle stream at pressure and temperature. A vapor stream is separated from the net process effluent and at least carbon dioxide is removed using at least one selective or flexible amine absorber. The resulting hydrogen-rich stream is recycled to the reaction zone.
