A process for the conversion of a hydrocarbon fraction comprising a step a) for treating a hydrocarbon charge in the presence of hydrogen in at least one reactor containing at least one hydrodesulphurisation catalyst in a fixed bed under conditions that make it possible to obtain a liquid effluent with a reduced sulphur content, a step b) for treating at least a part of the liquid effluent originating from step a) in the presence of hydrogen in at least one three-phase reactor, containing at least one hydrotreatment catalyst in a boiling bed, operating with an ascending stream of liquid and gas, said reactor comprising at least one means of withdrawing the catalyst from said reactor situated near the bottom of the reactor and at least one means of making up fresh catalyst in said reactor situated near the top of said reactor, and a step c) in which at least part of the product obtained in step b) is passed to a distillation zone from which are recovered a gas fraction, a motor fuel fraction of the petrol type, a motor fuel fraction of the diesel type, and a liquid fraction which is heavier than the diesel type fraction. This process may also contain a step d) for the catalytic cracking of the heavy fraction obtained in step c).

A process for converting a heavy hydrocarbon fraction comprises treating the hydrocarbon feed in a hydrodemetallization section, the section containing at least one fixed bed hydrodemetallization catalyst. At least a portion of the hydrotreated liquid effluent from step a) is sent to an atmospheric distillation zone from which a distillate and an atmospheric residue are recovered; at least a portion of the atmospheric residue is sent to a vacuum distillation zone from which a vacuum distillate and a vacuum residue are recovered; at least a portion of the vacuum residue is sent to a deasphalting section from which a deasphalted hydrocarbon cut and residual asphalt are recovered; at least a portion of the deasphalted hydrocarbon cut is sent to a hydrotreatment section from which a gas fraction, a fuel fraction and a heavier liquid fraction of the hydrotreated feed are recovered, and at least a portion of the heavier liquid fraction of the hydrotreated feed is sent to a catalytic cracking section in which it is treated under conditions such that a gaseous fraction, a gasoline fraction, a gas oil fraction and a slurry fraction are produced.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for production of propylene in particular from a C4 and/or C5 cut from steam cracking and/or catalytic cracking, preferably comprising both butenes and pentenes, said process comprising at least one oligomerization stage, followed by a stage of catalytic cracking of the oligomers formed.Preliminary oligomerization, in particular of a wide fraction of the charge, makes it possible to optimize the yields, the conversion, and the selectivity for propylene, relative to direct cracking. It also makes it possible for cracking to be carried out in a fixed, moving, or fluidized bed, optionally with co-production of oligomers for uses other than the production of propylene.

Abstract:
A process for the alkylation of at least one isoparaffin by at least one olefin in the presence of at least one solid acidic catalyst, characterized in that the major portion of the olefin is initially brought into contact with the catalyst in a complexing zone to form an olefin-catalyst complex in the presence of the isoparaffin, and in that the suspension of the complex in the isoparaffin is then sent to at least one alkylation reaction zone.
