Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for etherification of mixed olefinic light naphtha boiling in the range of C5-90° C. cut with simultaneous minimization of unreacted methanol concentration in the product. The etherification of mixed olefinic light naphtha produces the high octane blending component which can be blended directly in the gasoline pool without any recovery of the feed oxygenates like methanol, ethanol etc. which conventionally uses energy intensive separation processes.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for production of high yield of hydrogen by carrying out the dry reforming of the dry gas generated from the process itself by utilizing the same catalyst for cracking and producing high yield of light olefins such as ethylene, propylene and butylenes from residue feedstocks.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a catalyst composition for use in a catalytic cracking process, said catalyst composition comprises 3.5 to 15.5% of pentasil zeolite, 9 to 40% of ultra-stable Y (USY) or rare earth exchanged USY (REUSY) zeolite, 3.5 to 15% of large pore active matrix based bottom up gradation component and 0.3 to 3% of a metal trap component, the percentage being based on weight of the catalyst composition. The present invention also provides a process for preparing the said catalyst composition and a catalytic cracking process comprising contacting the said catalyst composition with a feedstock.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a novel method for preparation of highly active and selective dehydrogenation catalyst, comprising of metal oxide of group VIB elements of periodic table, and at least one metal oxide from group IA and/or group VIII, supported on alumina or silica or mixture thereof, wherein the accessibility to active sites and dispersion of metal oxides is enhanced by the addition of carbonaceous material such as coke derived from coal or petroleum coke or any other form of carbon, during catalyst preparation and its combustion thereof during calcination.
Abstract:
The present invention is related to an integrated process for enhancing the yields of propylene and other light olefins from Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process in combination with Oxidative propane dehydrogenation (OPDH) where in a hydrocarbon stream from Propylene recovery section consisting of propane predominantly, is converted to high value light olefins primarily C3 and C2 olefins by catalytic oxidative dehydrogenation using carbon dioxide from FCC flue gas exiting the regenerator. Several process configurations for the conversion of C3 and C4 alkanes to their respective alkenes separately or simultaneously by integrating with FCC are provided.
