Abstract:
This invention describes a process for mild hydrocracking of heavy hydrocarbon fractions of the vacuum distillate type or the deasphalted oil type with optimized thermal integration for the purpose of reducing the cost of the exchangers that are used as well as greenhouse gas emissions.
Abstract:
The present invention describes a process for heating the reboiler of the propane/propylene separation column situated downstream of an FCC unit and fed with the C3 cut from said FCC unit, a process consisting of heating the water in a hot water circuit by means of one or more process fluids originating from units placed upstream and/or downstream of the FCC unit and called hot fluids, one of these fluids being constituted by the overhead vapours from the fractionation column connected to the mild hydrocracking unit.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for desulfurizing a cracked naphtha containing organic sulfur compounds comprising the following steps: a) feeding the cracked naphtha to a distillation column comprising a bottom reboiler; b) fractionating said cracked naphtha into a light naphtha fraction and a heavy naphtha fraction which is removed as bottoms from the distillation column; c) feeding the heavy naphtha fraction and hydrogen to a hydrodesulfurization unit containing a hydrodesulfurization catalyst to produce a desulfurized heavy naphtha effluent. The process further comprises a step of providing heat to the distillation column by an intermediate reboiler powered with a heat source having a temperature lower than that one of the bottom reboiler.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and to a device for chemical looping combustion CLC of a solid hydrocarbon feed wherein it is proposed to inject the solid hydrocarbon feed so as to limit any occurrence of sticking of the feed to the walls of the injection device. The solid feed is fed into a conveying zone operating under fluidized bed conditions and opening into a combustion reactor. A fluidization gas is injected into this conveying zone while controlling the flow of gas in such a way that the superficial velocity of the gas in the conveying zone is higher than the terminal velocity of the solid hydrocarbon feed particles and the terminal velocity of solid particles present in the combustion reactor, and while controlling the fluidization gas temperature in such a way that the temperature in the conveying zone is less than or equal to 500° C.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for catalytic reforming of a naphtha hydrocarbon feedstock using a number of reaction zones in series, wherein the reaction zones contain a reforming catalyst bed. The process comprises comprising the following stages: sending hydrocarbon feedstock that is heated with hydrogen through the reaction zones to convert paraffinic and naphthenic compounds into aromatic compounds, with the effluent that is produced by each reaction zone, except for the last reaction zone, being heated before its introduction into the following reaction zone; drawing off a reformate from the last reaction zone.
