摘要:
A chemical conversion reactor contains a substantially vertical catalytic bed between an upper end and a lower end and comprises, in combination: close to its upper end, at least one means for introducing a solid catalyst, means for introducing and evacuating said feed allowing its flow in a substantially horizontal direction through the catalytic bed, means for heating said feed integrated into said reactor, said reactor comprising, close to its lower end, at least one means for extraction of the catalyst, which extraction is differentiated between an upstream portion and a downstream portion of said catalytic bed, with respect to the direction of flow of said feed.
摘要:
The invention concerns a process for converting hydrocarbons using at least one globally endothermic chemical reaction, in which a hydrocarbon feed successively traverses at least two reaction zones each containing at least one solid catalyst and comprising between said reaction zones an intermediate step, in a non catalytic zone, for reheating the stream (ST) from the first of the two reaction zones prior to its introduction into said second reaction zone, and in which said reheating is carried out in a heat exchanger, with heat transfer essentially by convection using a thermal fluid TF with a coking sensitivity index CS that is less than that of the stream ST, the difference in temperature ΔT between the temperature of the fluid TF at the inlet to the exchanger and the temperature of the stream ST at the heat exchanger outlet being less than 250° C. The invention also concerns the use of said process for converting hydrocarbons and a unit for carrying out the process.

摘要:
For producing synthesis gas, SG, from a hydrocarbon feed and optionally from recycled compounds, F, a first feed F1 supplemented with steam undergoes steam reforming in a multi-tube reactor-exchanger R comprising a plurality of reaction tubes (38) containing a steam reforming catalyst and a shell containing said tubes, to produce a first synthesis gas SG1; reaction tubes (38) are heated principally by convection by circulating a fluid HF in the shell external to said tubes, in which HF is a staged partial oxidation stream with oxygen of a second feed F2 at a pressure in the range 0.5 to 12 MPa, to produce a second synthesis gas SG2; and the synthesis gas SG is produced by mixing SG1 and SG2.

摘要:
An elongate reaction vessel and process includes at least two stages in the vertical direction in which an endothermic or exothermic catalytic reaction is carried out and comprises: a catalytic reaction zone (12a, 12b) per stage (6, 7); introducing (2) a reaction fluid to a stage adapted for transverse motion of the fluid across the whole vertical extent of the reaction zone; introducing and extracting the catalyst; a heat exchanger (5a) for reaction fluids located inside the vessel between two successive reaction zones; means (6) for transporting reaction fluids from one stage to another preferably connected to the exchanger of the stage under consideration and to the inlet for reaction fluids of the subsequent stage; and means for recovering reaction fluids downstream of the last stage. The temperature variation in each zone and the temperature level are respectively adjusted by the thickness of each zone and by heat exchange.

A steam-cracking process with a very high degree of severity of a feedstock that comprises at least 20% by weight of hydrocarbons of the group that is formed by ethane and propane in which the feedstock that is diluted with water vapor is circulated in the radiation zone of a furnace, in at least one pipe with a length L≧14 m and a hydraulic diameter that is greater than or equal to 34 mm in the end portion of the pipe at least, is described under the following conditions of dwell time &tgr; and furnace output temperature COT: 120 ms≦&tgr;≦2800 ms and 858° C.≦COT≦1025° C. to obtain a conversion of at least 77% of ethane of the feedstock if the feedstock contains ethane and/or a conversion of at least 96% of the propane of the feedstock if the feedstock contains propane, and to maintain this conversion for a cycle time that is greater than or equal to about 8 days.
摘要:
A steam cracking process and facility is described which comprises injection of erosive powder to effect at least partial decoking of transfer line exchangers without interrupting the steam cracking stream. The powder, preferably injected just upstream of the transfer line exchangers (TLE) (4), is separated from the cracked gases in primary gas/solid separators (5), temporarily stored in receiving drums at a controlled temperature and evacuated to a common powder storage and/or treatment module by pneumatic transfer by means of a relatively low flow of uncondensable gas. The process and facility can be used to collect solid fragments generated by injection of chemical compounds which are catalysts for the gasification of coke by steam.
