摘要:
A process for reverse isomerization of a light naphtha feedstock containing branched C5-C7 paraffins. The process includes feeding a mixed feed stream including the light naphtha feedstock to a separation unit to generate an iso-paraffin stream and one or more normal paraffin streams. The process further includes mixing hydrogen gas and a hydrocarbon feed stream containing the iso-paraffin stream to form a hydrogen-enriched liquid feed stream which is provided to a reverse isomerization reactor. The hydrogen-enriched liquid feed stream is contacted with a solid reverse isomerization catalyst for reverse hydroisomerization in a substantially two-phase liquid-solid reverse isomerization fixed-bed reaction zone convert iso-paraffins to normal paraffins. The isomerization effluent stream is provided to a stabilization column to generate a stabilized isomerate stream which is combined with the light naphtha feedstock to generate the mixed feed stream. An associated system for performing the process is also provided.

Provided here are processes and systems for conversion of alkyl-bridged non-condensed alkyl multi-aromatic compounds to alkyl mono-aromatic compounds. One system includes a hydrodearylation reactor adapted to receive a hydrogen stream and a feed stream and to produce a reactor effluent stream in presence of a catalyst. The feed stream contains one or more of heavy alkyl aromatic compounds and one or more alkyl-bridged non-condensed alkyl multi-aromatic compounds. The reactor effluent stream contains one or more alkyl mono-aromatic compounds. The system also includes a first separator fluidly coupled to the hydrodearylation reactor and adapted to receive the reactor effluent stream and to produce a hydrodearylated gas stream and a hydrodearylated liquid stream. The system also includes a second separator fluidly coupled to the first separator and adapted to receive a portion of the hydrodearylated gas stream and to produce a hydrocarbon liquid stream and a vapor stream rich in hydrogen.
摘要:
An intermediate hydrogen separation and absorption-based purification system is integrated with a hydrocracking process for the production of relatively lower molecular weight products from a relatively heavy feedstock including sulfur-containing and nitrogen-containing hydrocarbon compounds. The integrated process allows the processing of heavy hydrocarbon feedstock having high nitrogen and high sulfur contents in a single-stage configuration and the using of noble metal catalyst in the hydrocracking reaction zone. The integrated process increases the overall catalytic activity and hydrogenation capability to produce superior distillate products.
