    摘要: A system that is used for the treatment of a net gas stream is disclosed. The system includes a compressor to produce a compressed gas stream from a net gas stream. The compressor is connected to a pressure swing adsorption unit where the net gas stream is separated to produce a hydrogen product stream and a tail gas stream. Tail gas stream from the pressure swing adsorption unit is sent to a first membrane unit to produce a first permeate stream and a first non-permeate stream. A portion of the tail gas stream is sent to a second membrane unit to produce a second permeate stream and a second non-permeate stream.

    摘要: Processes for co-processing a naphtha stream with a light cycle oil stream are disclosed. The processes include hydrocracking the light cycle oil stream under hydrocracking conditions to provide a hydrocracked effluent stream. A naphtha stream is hydrotreated under hydrotreating conditions to provide a hydrotreated effluent stream. The hydrocracked effluent stream and the hydrotreated effluent stream may be passed to a stripping column to recover a stripping bottom stream. The stripping bottom stream may be passed to a main fractionation column to recover an intermediate naphtha stream.

    摘要: A process and apparatus for hydrocracking a distillate stream and provides for separation into product cuts without a separate debutanizer column, a naphtha splitter column or a sponge absorber column. The product cuts include a C3-C5 LPG stream and a heavy naphtha stream which can be useful as a reforming feed stream. Additionally, as few as two heaters that rely on external utilities may be required for reboiling fractionator column bottoms.

    摘要: A process is disclosed for producing hydrogen for a hydrogen consuming process comprising obtaining a gas stream containing hydrogen from a steam reforming hydrogen plant, sending the gas stream to a pressure swing adsorption unit to be separated into a hydrogen stream and a fuel gas stream; purging the pressure swing adsorption unit with an external purge gas stream from a hydroprocessing unit off gas; treating the off gas with a thermal swing adsorption unit to remove water and other impurities prior to purging the pressure swing adsorption unit; and using a protective adsorbent layer in the pressure swing adsorption unit at the product-hydrogen end of the bed to adsorb impurities from the external purge gas.
