    摘要: The invention concerns a method for converting heavy hydrocarbon feedstocks of which at least 50% by weight boils at a temperature of at least 300° C., and in particular vacuum residues. The feedstocks are subjected to a first step a) of deep hydroconversion, optionally followed by a step b) of separating a light fraction, and a heavy residual fraction is obtained from step b) of which at least 80% by weight has a boiling temperature of at least 250° C. Said fraction from step b) or the effluent from step a) is then subjected to a second step c) of deep hydroconversion. The overall hourly space velocity for steps a) to c) is less than 0.1 h−1. The effluent from step c) is fractionated to separate a light fraction. The heavy fraction obtained, of which 80% by weight boils at a temperature of at least 300° C., is sent to a deasphalting step e). The deasphalted fraction DAO is then preferably converted in a step f) chosen from ebullated bed hydroconversion, fluidised bed catalytic cracking and fixed bed hydrocracking.

    摘要: The invention relates to a process for converting a heavy hydrocarbon feedstock containing a fraction of at least 50% with a boiling point of at least 300° C., and containing sulfur, Conradson carbon, metals, and nitrogen, comprising at least two successive hydroconversion steps, which may be separated by an intermediate separation step, and at least one step of deasphalting a heavy fraction of the effluent resulting from the hydroconversion, with recycling at least one portion of the deasphalted oil (DAO) during the hydroconversion, downstream of the first hydroconversion step. The DAO is either recycled at the outlet thereof from the deasphalter, or after having undergone a fractionation step that produces a heavy fraction of the DAO that then constitutes the portion of the DAO that is recycled. This process makes it possible to simultaneously improve the degree of conversion and the stability of the liquid effluents.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a three-phase reactor for the reaction of a hydrocarbon feedstock with hydrogen and to a hydroconversion process, for example of H-Oil™ type, employing it, comprising a chamber with an upper end and a gas/liquid separation device comprising: a recycle cup, above the catalytic reaction zone and delimiting, with the upper end, a recycle zone, comprising a cylindrical upper part extended by a lower part of decreasing section and of variable angle of inclination, provided with vertical pipes for the passage of a gas/liquid mixture originating from a catalytic reaction zone, and having a fixed angle of inclination β of between 50° and 85° with respect to the axis of the cylindrical part, a pipe for recycle of the liquid at the apex of the lower part, in fluidic communication with the lower end of the chamber by recirculation means.
