Abstract:
An improved hydrovisbreaking process for reducing the viscosity of a liquid hydrocarbon feedstock is provided. A substantially single-phase hydrogen-enriched liquid hydrocarbon feedstock is obtained by mixing the feedstock with hydrogen gas and flashing off the excess hydrogen gas. Comparatively smaller reactor vessels can be used without a gas recycle system, thus reducing the capital cost of hydrovisbreaking process. Further the need for cutter stocks can be minimized or eliminated.
Abstract:
Изобретение относится к нефтеперерабатывающей, нефтехимической и химической, а также к топливно - энергетической промышленности, а конкретно к области подготовки и глубокой переработки нефти, в том числе и тяжелой, природного битума, остатков нефтеперерабатывающих и нефтехимических производств, угля, сланца, продуктов растительного происхождения и других углеводородных сред, жидких, твердых, газообразных, в дальнейшем сырье, и может быть использовано в производстве углеводородного топлива, нефтехимической и химической продукции. Кроме того, применение способа позволяет решать многие экологические проблемы и приводит к улучшению экологической обстановки. Технический результат - увеличение выхода легких целевых продуктов и увеличение глубины переработки сырья, упрощение и удешевление процесса и оборудования при высокой глубине переработки, экономия и рациональное использование углеводородных сырьевых ресурсов - достигается такой организацией процесса глубокой переработки, при которой сырье и катализатор не контактируют, вследствие чего катализатор не отравляется вредными примесями и не коксуется, что приводит к увеличению долговечности катализатора и отсутствию необходимости процессов регенерации, причем глубину переработки практически до 100 % можно достичь по данному способу за счет повторной, возможно многократной, обработки сырья и/или всей тяжелой части разделения продуктов реакции. Предлагаемая установка проста в эксплуатации и не требует больших капитальных и эксплуатационных затрат.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for plasma-chemical hydrocracking, comprising a reactor, a plasmatron, a tubular element, and means for feeding liquid hydrocarbons and a hydrogen-containing medium and means for discharging non-reacted liquid hydrocarbons and produced gaseous hydrocarbons. The tubular element surrounds plasma flow inside the reactor and has an outer circumferential wall, an inner circumferential wall and a gap formed between the two circumferential walls and connected to a hydrogen-containing medium inlet. The inner circumferential wall has through channels for passage of the hydrogen-containing medium from the gap to the plasma flow and thereby defines a mixing zone in the reactor for mixing the plasma flow with the hydrogen-containing medium; the mixing zone together with a partition provided in the reactor and forming a surface for spreading liquid hydrocarbons at least partially define a reaction zone inside the reactor, having a constriction of a gas-dynamic nozzle type. The invention also relates to a method and a plant using the apparatus. Technical result includes enhancing the intensity of vaporization of hydrocarbons during plasma-chemical hydrocracking and increasing the speed of mixing the components of vaporous hydrocarbons and the hydrogen-containing medium with significant acceleration of the rate of chemical reactions between these components.
Abstract:
A process for hydroconversion of heavy oil feedstocks that effectively controls asphaltene condensation by utilization of a combination of dispersed coal, dispersed catalyst using a two- zone close-coupled thermo-catalytic reactor/catalytic-hydrotreating reactor configuration. The process converts heavy hydrocarbonaceous feed-stocks, a significant portion of which boils above 540°C, to high yields of high quality products boiling below 540°C. The first zone of the process is a thermo-catalytic zone, in which the feedstock is substantially converted to lower boiling products. The product of the thermo-catalytic zone is cooled somewhat and passed directly, without substantial loss of hydrogen partial pressure, into a catalytic-hydrotreating zone, where the thermo- catalytic zone effluent is hydrotreated to produce hydrotreated products suitable for further treatment into transportation fuels and other products. The catalytic-hydrotreating zone is comprised of two sub-zones, one before and one after a hot separator. The first treating sub-zone accomplishes the immediate hydrogenation of unstable molecules. The hot separator removes light products and gases providing a heavy product stream that can be more efficiently treated with higher purity recycle and make-up hydrogen-rich streams.
Abstract:
A process is provided that is directed to a steam pyrolysis zone integrated with a solvent deasphalting zone to permit direct processing of crude oil feedstocks to produce petrochemicals including olefins and aromatics. The integrated solvent deasphalting and steam pyrolysis process for the direct processing of a crude oil to produce olefinic and aromatic petrochemicals comprises charging the crude oil to a solvent deasphalting zone with an effective amount of solvent to produce a deasphalted and demetalized oil stream and a bottom asphalt phase; thermally cracking the deasphalted and demetalized oil stream in the presence of steam to produce a mixed product stream; separating the mixed product stream; recovering olefins and aromatics from the separated mixed product stream; and recovering pyrolysis fuel oil from the separated mixed product stream.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for obtaining a pure product which contains aromatic compounds. The pure product is obtained by extractive distillation of a benzene which is rich in aromatic compounds, and olefins, diolefins and polyolefins being removed. The extractive distillation is followed by hydration of the resulting product stream which is rich in aromatic compounds and low in olefins, the alkylated aromatic compounds, especially toluol and xylols being dealkylated, and the paraffinic dealkylation products being reacted to give methane so that due to the nature of the hydration step after the extractive distillation the amount of hydrogen can be considerably reduced since the mixture of aromatic compounds is free of olefins and no hydrogen is required for olefin hydration. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out said method, preferably a column being used for extractive distillation which column allows an extractive distillation with solvent recirculation, thereby eliminating the need for an additional stripping column for removing the extracted solvent.
Abstract:
An in situ process for treating a hydrocarbon containing formation is provided. The process may include providing heat from one or more heaters to at least a portion of the formation. The heat may be allowed to transfer from the one or more heaters to a part of the formation such that heat from the one or more heat sources pyrolyzes at least some hydrocarbons within the part. Hydrocarbons may be produced from the formation.
Abstract:
A residue from petroleum refining is thermally cracked to convert the residue to useful cracked products and to generate fuel gas. The residue is cracked by contact with hot synthesis gas produced by the gasification on the tar/pitch residue remaining after the cracking of the residue feed. Waste heat can be recovered from remaining portions of the synthesis gas from the gasifier in the form of steam which can be used in the gasification process and in the cracking process as needed for coke suppression. The combustible synthesis gas and the combustible gasses from the thermal cracking are separated from the cracked product liquid and used for power generation in a combined cycle plant.
