    摘要: Disclosed is a method for producing a fuel that has renewable content, the method comprising: providing renewable hydrogen sourced at least partially from causing renewable methane from a low carbon number fraction resulting from a conversion process to be fed, or co-fed with fossil material, to a hydrogen production unit to produce the renewable hydrogen, the feed to the conversion process being a carbon-containing renewable feedstock, the low carbon number fraction comprising carbon-containing molecules having 3 carbon atoms or less, the conversion process from which the hydrogen is sourced comprising a separation that fractionates the low carbon number fraction from a high carbon number fraction comprising carbon-containing molecules having 3 carbon atoms or more; and feeding the renewable hydrogen to at least part of a fossil fuel production facility to supply the renewable hydrogen thereto and produce the fuel that has renewable content.

    摘要: A process for hydroprocessing a renewable feedstock in a fixed-bed reactor system having at least one catalytic bed involves directing a downward flow of the renewable feedstock to a filtering zone having top-open interstitial portions to receive the downward flow and top-covered annular portions that are in fluid communication with a headspace between the filtering zone and a catalytic zone. The feedstock flows from the interstitial portions to the annular portions through a filtering material disposed between the interstitial portions and the annular portions, resulting in a filtered feedstock, which then flows to the catalytic zone. In the catalytic zone, filtered feedstock is reacted under hydroprocessing conditions sufficient to cause a reaction selected from the group consisting of hydrogenation, hydrodeoxygenation, hydrodenitrogenation, hydrodesulphurization, hydrodemetalation, hydrocracking, hydroisomerization, and combinations thereof.

    摘要: A filtration device for a down-flow catalytic hydroprocessing reactor is disclosed. The filtration device may be used in the petroleum and chemical processing industries in catalytic reactions of hydrocarbonaceous feedstocks in the presence of hydrogen, at an elevated temperature and pressure, to remove contaminants from mixed gas and liquid feedstreams to reactor catalyst beds. The filtration device may be provided as a horizontal tray installation at the top of a reactor, whereby feedstream liquid is passed through a filtration media in a radially inward direction from the wall of the reactor to the center of the filtration device and thereafter to the reactor catalyst bed. Among the benefits provided are the minimization of scale and small/fine particulates that reach the catalyst bed below the device, reduced pressure drop through the reactor, even when the filter is completely fouled, and the potential for added catalyst volume due to the reduced need to use catalyst grading materials.

    摘要: A method of producing one or more fuels having a renewable content from a fuel production process that includes one or more processing steps wherein hydrogen is reacted with crude oil derived liquid hydrocarbon, where the hydrogen is produced by a plurality of hydrogen production units based on steam methane reforming. The method includes selecting one or more hydrogen production units from the plurality of hydrogen production units which have one or more hydrogen-producing characteristics, and allocating renewable methane such that a renewable fraction of feedstock for the selected hydrogen production units is greater than a renewable fraction of feedstock for other hydrogen production units. The selected hydrogen production units are selected to increase a yield of renewable content of one or more of the fuels produced by the fuel production process and/or reduce a carbon intensity of such fuels for a given quantity of renewable methane.
