Hydrocracking Process

View page
US Patent:
6361683, Mar 26, 2002
Filed:
Feb 22, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/507660
Inventors:
Tom N. Kalnes - La Grange IL
Assignee:
UOP LLC - Des Plaines IL
International Classification:
C10G 6512
US Classification:
208 89, 208 58, 208 59, 208 93
Abstract:
A catalytic hydrocracking process wherein a hydrocarbonaceous feedstock and a liquid recycle stream having a temperature greater than about 500Â F. and saturated with hydrogen is contacted with hydrogen in a hydrocracking reaction zone at elevated temperature and pressure to obtain conversion to lower boiling hydrocarbons. The resulting hot, uncooled effluent from the hydrocracking reaction zone is hot hydrogen stripped in a stripping zone maintained at essentially the same pressure as the hydrocracking zone to produce a first gaseous hydrocarbonaceous stream and a first liquid hydrocarbonaceous stream. The first gaseous hydrocarbonaceous stream is passed through a post-treat hydrogenation zone to saturate aromatic compounds and at least partially condensed to produce a second liquid hydrocarbonaceous stream and a second hydrogen-rich gaseous stream.

Hydrocracking Process For Production Of Lpg And Distillate Hydrocarbons

US Patent:
6379533, Apr 30, 2002
Filed:
Dec 18, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/738452
Inventors:
Vasant P. Thakkar - Elk Grove Village IL
Tom N. Kalnes - La Grange IL
Richard K. Hoehn - Mount Prospect IL
Assignee:
UOP LLC - Des Plaines IL
International Classification:
C10G 6500
US Classification:
208 59, 208 89, 208 78
Abstract:
A catalytic hydrocracking process which provides for the simultaneous production of LPG and distillate hydrocarbons. The feedstock is introduced into a denitrification and desulfurization zone and then passed directly to a hot, high pressure stripper utilizing a hot, hydrogen-rich stripping gas to produce a first liquid stream boiling in the range of the feedstock and a first vapor stream comprising hydrocarbonaceous compounds boiling at a temperature below the boiling range of the feedstock. The first liquid stream is hydrocracked in a first hydrocracking zone and then passed to the denitrification and desulfurization zone. At least a portion of the first vapor stream is condensed to produce a second liquid stream comprising hydrocarbonaceous compounds boiling at a temperature below the boiling range of the feedstock. At least a portion of the second liquid stream is hydrocracked in a second hydrocracking zone containing a second hydrocracking catalyst to produce LPG boiling range hydrocarbonaceous compounds.

US Patent:
6387245, May 14, 2002
Filed:
Sep 26, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/669791
Inventors:
Tom N. Kalnes - La Grange IL
David B. Gates - Schaumburg IL
Assignee:
UOP LLC - Des Plaines IL
International Classification:
C10G 6902
US Classification:
208 58, 208 57, 208 59, 208 83, 208108, 20811101
Abstract:
A hydrocracking process wherein a hydrocarbonaceous feedstock and a hot hydrocracking zone effluent containing hydrogen is passed to a hydrocracking reaction zone to produce lower boiling hydrocarbon compounds. The resulting hot, uncooled effluent from the hydrocracking zone is hydrogen stripped in a stripping zone maintained at essentially the same pressure as the preceding hydrocracking reaction zone with a hydrogen-rich gaseous stream to produce a vapor stream comprising hydrogen, hydrocarbonaceous compounds boiling at a temperature below the boiling range of the fresh feedstock, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, and a liquid hydrocarbonaceous stream which is countercurrently contacted with hydrogen in a hydrogenation zone located in the bottom end of the stripping zone.

US Patent:
6402935, Jun 11, 2002
Filed:
Nov 23, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/447247
Inventors:
Tom N. Kalnes - La Grange IL
Assignee:
UOP LLC - Des Plaines IL
International Classification:
C10G 6902
US Classification:
208 89, 208 58, 208108
Abstract:
A catalytic hydrocracking process wherein a hydrocarbonaceous feedstock is converted by combining with a hot recycle stream containing hydrogen, and the mixture is passed to a denitrification and desulfurization reaction zone, and then to a hydrocracking zone. The resulting hot, uncooled effluent from the hydrocracking zone is hydrogen stripped in a stripping zone maintained at essentially the same pressure as the hydrocracking zone to produce a vapor stream containing hydrogen, hydrocarbonaceous compounds boiling at a temperature below the boiling range of the fresh feedstock, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, and a liquid hydrocarbonaceous stream wherein at least a portion of this liquid stream is then passed to the denitrification and desulfurization reaction zone. At least another portion of the liquid stream is admixed with the subsequently cooled vapor stream to produce a hydrogen-rich recycle gas stream and a liquid hydrocarbonaceous stream containing hydrocarbonaceous compounds boiling at a temperature below the boiling range of the fresh feedstock.

Method To Produce Lube Basestock

US Patent:
6432297, Aug 13, 2002
Filed:
Oct 23, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/692970
Inventors:
Tom N. Kalnes - La Grange IL
Vasant P. Thakkar - Elk Grove Village IL
Assignee:
UOP LLC - Des Plaines IL
International Classification:
C10G 4700
US Classification:
208 58, 208 60
Abstract:
A process for the production of lube oil basestock wherein a high boiling hydrocarbonaceous feedstock is hydrocracked to produce hydrocarbons boiling in the range of lube oil basestock and the resulting hydrocracker effluent is hot, hydrogen stripped to remove lower boiling hydrocarbons and hydrogen sulfide before being introduced into a hydrodewaxing zone. In a preferred embodiment the hot hydrogen stripper contains a hydrogenation zone conducted at âsweetâ hydrogenating conditions which permits the subsequent use of sulfur sensitive catalysts in downstream reaction zones including hydrodewaxing and hydrofinishing reaction zones. Preferably, the effluent from the hydrodewaxing reaction zone is immediately further processed in a hydrofinishing reaction zone.
