Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel process for desulfurization of diesel with reduced hydrogen consumption. More particularly the subject invention pertains to an integrated process comprising diesel hydro de-sulfurisation (DHDS) or diesel hydrotreatment (DHDT) with reduced severity to desulfurize high sulfur (1.0-2.0 wt%) diesel stream to a much lower level of sulfur content of 350 - 500 ppm in the depleted diesel stream, followed by a novel adsorption procedure for effecting deep desulfurization to reduce overall sulfur content to less than 10 ppm with reduced hydrogen consumption, as compared to high severity DHDS or DHDT procedures of the prior art.
Abstract:
The present subject matter describes a gasification system (100) for gasifying a variety of feedstocks. A first stage gasifier (105) receives a feedstock either from a first group of feedstocks or a second group of feedstocks or both. The first stage gasifier decomposes the received feedstock to produce a first product. A second stage gasifier (115) is connected to the first stage gasifier (105) for receiving the first product. In addition, the second stage gasifier (115) receives a feedstock either from a third group of feedstocks or a fourth group of feedstocks or both. The second stage gasifier (115) gasifies the first product and the received feedstock to produce syngas.
Abstract:
The invention provides for a process and apparatus for simultaneous conversion of lighter and heavier hydrocarbon feedstocks into improved yields of light olefins in the range of C2 to C4, liquid aromatics in the range C6 to C8 mainly benzene, toluene, xylene and ethyl benzene and other useful products employing at least two different reactors operated in series with respect to catalyst flow and parallel with respect to feed flow under different regimes and process conditions with same catalyst system.
Abstract:
The invention describes process for demetallation of vegetable oils and animal fats to reduce metal content below 1 ppm to make them suitable for hydroprocessing feedstocks. The process comprises acid treatment with very low concentration of acids, utilizing synergistic effect of phosphoric acid and citric acid, followed by counter-current treatment with clay without intermediate step of water washing and treatment with ion exchange resin.

Abstract:
This invention relates to an apparatus and a process for conversion of syngas into one or more hydrocarbons in presence of Fisher-Tropsch catalyst comprising in-situ catalyst activation in a separate fluid bed reactor. Activation is carried out in the dry phase in flowing hydrogen atmosphere in fluidised condition in a separate fluid bed reactor. The activated catalyst is transferred to the main slurry reactor with flowing hydrogen. Filters are provided outside the slurry reactor and separated wax product is recycled back to the reactor.
Abstract:
The present subject matter relates to a process of reforming a natural gas stream by steam. The reforming is carried out at a temperature within a predetermined range to form a substantially carbon monoxide free product mixture of hydrogen and natural gas. The reforming is carried out in presence of a nickel-based catalyst. The temperature is controlled in a range of about 350°C to about 390°C. The reforming can be started or stopped or its rate can be varied, based on an outflow demand of the product mixture of hydrogen and natural gas.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for selective removal of mercaptan from aviation turbine fuel (ATF) feed comprising: mixing aviation turbine fuel feed with hydrogen, at a pressure in range of 3 bar to 20 bar to obtain a reaction mixture, heating the reaction mixture at a temperature range of 150 °C to 350 °C to obtain a heated mixture, reacting the heated mixture with a hydrotreating catalyst in a rector to obtain a reactor effluent, stripping H2S gas from the reactor effluent to obtain a stripper bottom product, and removing moisture from the stripper bottom product to obtain aviation turbine fuel product having less than 10 ppm mercaptan. The process of present invention also improves properties such as colour, acidity etc of other products. The present invention further relates to an aviation turbine fuel product having less than 10 ppm mercaptan prepared by a process of the present invention. The process of present invention is flexible and can be employed for a grass root unit or retrofitting-existing unit.
