摘要:
A process for producing high yields of higher quality (API Group II, Group ΙΙI`) lubricating oil basestock fractions which allows the production of two or more types of high quality lubes in continuous mode (no blocked operation mode) without transition times and feed or intermediate product tankage segregation. Two consecutive hydroprocessing steps are used: the first step processes a wide cut feed at a severity needed to match heavy oil lube properties. The second step hvdroprocesses a light oil after fractionation of the liquid product from the first step at a severity higher than for the heavy oil fraction. The two hydroprocessing steps will normally be carried out in separate reactors but they may be combined in a single reactor which allows for the two fractions to be processed with different degrees of severity.

摘要:
Methods, devices and processes for effectively loading catalysts into reactor vessels. In particular methods, devices and processes for effectively loading catalysts into fixed bed reactors utilizing inducted vibrational energy to improve catalyst loading performance, thereby resulting in improved flow distribution through the catalyst beds at designed operating conditions. The methods herein are particularly effectively for improving the performance of new or existing catalyst bed configurations of vertically-oriented two-phase hydroprocessing fixed bed reactors.

Provided herein are molecular sieve membranes (100) for separating hydrocarbons of a lube feed stock into a permeate and a retentate based on molecular shape. The molecular sieve membranes comprise one or more layers of size-selective catalyst and a porous support comprising a plurality of diffusing gaps. Each layer of size-selective catalyst has a plurality of perpendicular membrane channels (12) and a plurality of opening pores (14). The porous support is in fluidic communication with the plurality of opening pores to provide a fluidic pathway between the perpendicular membrane channels and the diffusing gaps. Also provided are processes for separating n-paraffins from other hydrocarbons in a lube feed stock using the present molecular sieve membranes.

A diesel fuel product with beneficial cold flow properties can be produced. A suitable feedstock for forming a diesel boiling range product can be hydrotreated to have a sulfur content of at least about 100 wppm and then dewaxed. This two stage process can allow for production of an arctic or winter diesel without use of high pressures. Optionally, a divided wall column fractionator can be used to allow a single separation stage to handle the effluent from both the hydroprocessing and the dewaxing stages.
摘要:
A process for the alkylation of a benzene-containing refinery stream such as reformate with light refinery olefins which is capable of achieving high benzene conversion levels operates in a fixed bed of an MWW zeolite catalyst, preferably MCM- 22, in single pass mode in the liquid phase at a relatively low to moderate temperatures with pressure maintained at a value adequate to ensure subcritical operation. High levels of benzene conversion with conversions of at least 90% and higher, e.g. 92% or 95% or even higher are achievable. A high octane product is produced, comprising mono-, di- and tri-alkylbenzenes with lesser levels of the tetra-substituted products. By operating with staged olefin injection, the end point of the alkylation product can be maintained at a low value while, at the same time, achieving high levels of benzene and olefin conversion.
摘要:
Systems and methods are provided for hydroconversion of a heavy oil feed under slurry hydroprocessing conditions and/or solvent assisted hydroprocessing conditions. The systems and methods for slurry hydroconversion can include the use of a configuration that can allow for improved separation of catalyst particles from the slurry hydroprocessing effluent. In addition to allowing for improved catalyst recycle, an amount of fines in the slurry hydroconversion effluent can be reduced or minimized. This can facilitate further processing or handling of any "pitch" generated during the slurry hydroconversion. The systems and methods for solvent assisted hydroprocessing can include processing of a heavy oil feed in conjunction with a high solvency dispersive power crude.
摘要:
Systems and methods are provided for producing upgraded raffinate and extract products from lubricant boiling range feeds and/or other feeds having a boiling range of 400°F (204°C) to 1500°F (816°C) or more. The upgraded raffinate and/or extract products can have a reduced or minimized concentration of sulfur, nitrogen, metals, or a combination thereof. The reduced or minimized concentration of sulfur, nitrogen, and/or metals can be achieved by hydrotreating a suitable feed under hydrotreatment conditions corresponding to relatively low levels of feed conversion. Optionally, the feed can also dewaxed, such as by catalytic dewaxing or by solvent dewaxing. Because excessive aromatic saturation is not desired, the pressure for hydrotreatment (and optional dewaxing) can be 500 psig (∼3.4 MPa) to 1200 psig (∼8.2 MPa).
摘要:
A modular catalyst bed support can be used to increase the number of catalyst beds available in a reactor. The modular catalyst bed support can include a lattice with a plurality of lattice openings and modules inserted into the lattice openings. The modular catalyst bed support can rest on top of an underlying catalyst bed, which can reduce or eliminate the need for attachment of the modular catalyst bed support, to the walls of the reactor.
摘要:
A process for the regeneration of materials used in the guard beds preceding the reactors used in an olefin conversion process which converts olefinic refinery streams to higher boiling hydrocarbon products by polymerization (oligomerization) or alkylation of aromatics including benzene. Products of the process may include olefin oligomers and alkylaromatics in the gasoline boiling range as well as alkylaromatic petrochemicals such as cumene and ethylbenzene. The process is integrated with the olefin conversion process to ensure continuous operation of the olefin conversion without sending the feedstock containing the contaminant(s) to the reactor. The process uses reaction products from the olefin conversion process to regenerate the guard bed material and so is economically attractive since it does not require the use of separate purge, regeneration feed and separation systems. A plurality of guard beds is used, each containing a material which removes catalyst poisons. The guard beds are operated on a swing system in which one or more beds is kept on stream to remove the contaminant(s) while one or more of the remaining beds is being purged or regenerated. In this way, continuity of operation is assured. The regeneration medium is a product stream from the olefin conversion process.
摘要:
Systems and methods are provided for detecting abnormal temperature conditions within a fixed bed reactor. In a fixed bed reactor, a hydrocarbon (or hydrocarbon-like) feedstock can be exposed to one or more types of catalyst particles at elevated temperatures and/or pressures. In addition to the one or more types of catalyst particles, a plurality of temperature-sensor structures can be included in a catalyst bed and/or a coating including one or more temperature-sensor structures can be provided on an interior wall or other interior surface in the reactor. The temperature-sensor structures can have a threshold temperature at which the temperature-sensor structure changes to allow introduction and/or release of a detectable substance.
