摘要:
A cost effective method for reutilizing exiting refinery equipment associated with either a Reformer Unit or Isomerization Unit by converting such units into units and associated processes for hydrodesulfurizing and cracking naphtha feedstocks into light plant gases and chemical feedstocks. These existing Reformer or Isomerization units and processes can be converted into the processes described herein with very little capital expenditures, essentially utilizing almost all of the existing unit equipment, and with little to no major equipment replacements. The processes disclosed herein also effectively reduce the overproduction of naphtha currently experienced in many modern refineries that have resulted from a reduction in overall demand of gasoline products relative to other refinery products.

The invention includes a hydrotreating method for increased CO content comprising: contacting an olefinic naphtha feedstream with a hydrogen-containing treat gas stream and a hydrotreating catalyst in a reactor under hydrotreating conditions sufficient to at least partially hydrodesulfurize and/or hydrodenitrogenate the feedstream, wherein the feedstream and the hydrogen-containing treat gas stream collectively have greater than 10 vppm CO content and/or wherein the reactor inlet sees an average CO concentration of greater than 10 vppm, wherein the hydrotreating catalyst comprises a catalyst having cobalt and molybdenum disposed on a silica-based support, and wherein the hydrotreating conditions are selected such that the catalyst has a relative HDS activity at least 10% greater than an identical catalyst under identical conditions except for a collective CO content of the feedstream and/or hydrogen-containing treat gas being

摘要:
A low hydrogen partial pressure process for desulfurizing naphtha in the presence of a hydrodesulfurization catalyst which catalyst is selective for suppressing hydrogenation of olefins and in the presence. This invention also relates to the use of optimum metals loading for achieving a high level of hydrodesulfurization with a low level of olefin saturation.
摘要:
A process for producing a naphtha having a decreased amount of sulfur by selective hydroprocessing a petroleum feedstream comprising cracked naphtha to reduce its sulfur content with minimum loss of octane. The reduced sulfur naphtha stream contains mercaptan sulfur reversion products that are removed preferably by use of an aqueous base solution containing a catalytically effective amount of a phase transfer catalyst.
摘要:
Selective and deep desulfurization of a high sulfur content mogas naphtha, with reduced product mercaptans and olefin loss, is achieved by a two stage, vapor phase hydrodesulfurization process with interstage separation of at least 80 vol. % of the H2S formed in the first stage from the first stage, partially desulfurized naphtha vapor effluent fed into the second stage. At least 70 wt. % of the sulfur is removed in the first stage and at least 80 wt. % of the remaining sulfur is removed in the second stage, to achieve a total at least 95 wt. % feed desulfurization, with no more than a 60 vol. % feed olefin loss. The second stage temperature and space velocity are preferably greater than in the first. The hydrodesulfurization catalyst preferably contains a low metal loading of Co and Mo metal catalytic components on an alumina support.
摘要:
A reaction inhibitor can be used to reduce catalyst activity at the beginning of a naphtha selective hydrodesulfurization process. The use of the reaction inhibitor can allow greater flexibility in selecting the reaction conditions to accommodate both the start and end of the hydrodesulfurization process. The reaction inhibitor can be removed during the hydrodesulfurization process, possibly in conjunction with modification of the reaction temperature, in order to maintain a substantially constant amount of sulfur in the naphtha product.
摘要:
A process for the selective hydrodesulfurization of naphtha streams containing a substantial amount of olefins and organically bound sulfur. The naphtha stream is selectively hydrodesulfurized by passing it through a first reaction zone containing a bed of a first hydrodesulfurization catalyst, then passing the resulting product stream through a second reaction zone containing a bed of a second hydrodesulfurization catalyst, which second hydrodesulfurization catalyst contains a lower level of catalytic metals than the first hydrodesulfurization catalyst.
摘要:
A process for the selective hydrodesulfurization of naphtha streams containing sulfur and olefins. A substantially olefins-free naphtha stream is blended with an olefins/sulfur-containing naphtha stream and hydrodesulfurized resulting in the substantial removal of sulfur without excessive olefin saturation.
摘要:
The invention relates to naphtha hydrodesulfurization incorporating either high temperature depressurization or controlled heating for mercaptan removal. More particularly, the invention relates to a naphtha hydrodesulfurization process, wherein the hot naphtha exiting the desulfurization reactor contains mercaptans, most of which are removed without olefin loss, by depressurizing the hot naphtha, thermally treating the hot naphtha, or some combination thereof. The desulfurized naphtha may be cooled and condensed to a liquid, separated from the gaseous H2S, stripped and sent to a mogas pool.
