摘要:
A hydroprocessing process includes two cocurrent flow liquid reaction stages and one vapor stage, in which feed components are catalytically hydroprocessed by reacting with hydrogen. The liquid stages both produce a liquid and a hydrogen-rich vapor effluent, with most of the hydroprocessing accomplished in the first stage. The first stage vapor is also hydroprocessed. The hydroprocessed vapor and second stage vapor are cooled to condense and recover additional product liquid and produce an uncondensed hydrogen-rich vapor. After cleanup to remove contaminants, the hydrogen-rich vapor is recycled back into the first stage as treat gas. Fresh hydrogen is introduced into the second stage. This is useful for hydrotreating heteroatom-containing hydrocarbons.
摘要:
A process for upgrading a liquid petroleum or chemical stream wherein said stream flows countercurrent to the flow of a treat gas, such as a hydrogen-containing gas, in at least one reaction zone. The temperature of at least a portion of the liquid stream in the reactor is used to control the flooding characteristics of the reactor.
摘要:
A reactor is provided for reacting a liquid with a treat gas in the presence of a catalyst, the reactor comprising a continuous wall enclosing a first reaction zone, wherein the first reaction zone includes a catalyst for causing a desired reaction between the liquid and the treat gas; a liquid inlet above the first reaction zone for allowing an unreacted portion of the liquid to enter the reactor; a gas inlet below the first reaction zone for allowing an unreacted portion of the treat gas to enter the reactor; a liquid outlet below the first reaction zone for allowing a reacted portion of the liquid to exit the reactor; a gas outlet above the first reaction zone for allowing a reacted portion of the treat gas to exit the reactor; and a liquid bypass device in the first reaction zone for allowing a portion of the liquid to bypass a portion of the first reaction zone, the liquid bypass device including a liquid bypass regulating device for regulating the amount of liquid which bypasses the first reaction zone. In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of reaction zones are present, and a liquid distribution tray is disposed above each reaction zone. Preferably, the liquid bypass device creates a hydrostatic seal with the liquid accumulating in the distribution tray so that the timing and extent of liquid bypass is self-regulating based on predefined flooding conditions.
摘要:
A reaction vessel for processing liquid petroleum or chemical streams wherein the stream flows countercurrent to the flow of a treat gas, such as a hydrogen-containing gas, in at least one interaction zone. The reaction vessel contains vapor, and optionally liquid, passageways to bypass one or more packed beds, preferably catalyst beds. This permits more stable and efficient vessel operation.

摘要:
Hydrocarbonaceous feedstocks admixed with a flow-through catalyst and hydrogen are hydroprocessed in a hydroprocessing reactor containing a captive hydroprocessing catalyst. The flow-through catalyst is continually withdrawn with the hydroprocessed feed from the hydroprocessing reactor. The flow-through catalyst may be an FCC, hydrocracking, isomerization or ring-opening catalyst. In a preferred embodiment, the captive hydroprocessing catalyst contains Co, Ni and/or Mo on an alumina base and the flow-through catalyst is an FCC zeolitic catalyst which is withdrawn with the hydroprocessed feed from the hydroprocessing reactor and then sent to an FCC unit.

Disclosed is a catalytic cracking process which includes more than one catalytic cracking reaction step. The process integrates a hydroprocessing process step between the catalytic cracking reaction steps in order to maximize olefins production, mid-distillate quality and naphtha octane level in the cracked products. Preferably, a first cracked hydrocarbon product is obtained from a first cracking stage and separated into a mid-distillate and gas oil containing fraction having an initial boiling point of at least 300.degree. F., the distillate and gas oil containing fraction is hydroprocessed, and a naphtha fraction and a gas oil containing bottoms fraction of the hydroprocessed material are cracked in a second cracking stage.
摘要:
A process for the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of the multiple condensed ring heterocyclic organosulfur compounds present in petroleum and chemical streams. The stream is passed through at least one reaction zone countercurrent to the flow of a hydrogen-containing treat gas, and through at least one sorbent zone. The reaction zone contains a bed of Group VIII metal-containing hydrodesulfurization catalyst and the sorbent zone contains a bed of hydrogen sulfide sorbent material.
摘要:
A three stage hydroprocessing process includes two liquid and one vapor reaction stages, both of which produce an effluent comprising liquid and vapor. Both vapor effluents comprise vaporized hydrocarbonaceous material. Fresh hydrogen is used for the hydroprocessing in both liquid stages. The second stage liquid effluent comprises the product liquid. The first stage liquid effluent is the feed for the second stage. The first stage vapor effluent is hydroprocessed in the vapor stage and then cooled to condense and recover at least a portion of the processed vapor as additional product liquid.
