Abstract:
A process is presented for the production of high quality kerosene from lower quality feedstocks, including kerosene produced from coker units, or kerosene from cracking units. The process includes hydrotreating the feedstock to remove contaminants in the feedstock. The hydrotreated process stream is then treated in a trim reactor at higher pressure to reduce the bromine index of the kerosene.
Abstract:
Processes for hydrotreating a hydrocarbon stream in which a separation zone and a stripping zone is disposed between two hydrotreating reactors. The stripping zone may comprise a portion of the second hydrotreating reactor. The separation zone may comprise two separator vessels. A separator vessel may include the scrubbing zone to receive a scrubbing fluid, for example, steam, hydrogen, or heated effluent, and remove H2S and NH3. A divided wall separator may be used. Vapor from the separator vessels can be recycled in the system.
