Patent number: 10604708Abstract: A multi-stage hydrotreating process obtains ultra-low sulfur diesel boiling range hydrocarbon having less than 10 ppm sulfur with elimination of external hot high pressure separator and avoids the formation of recombinant mercaptans by removing excess hydrogen sulfide formed during hydroprocessing reaction. The process includes mixing a diesel boiling range hydrocarbon feedstock with hydrogen and sending to the first predominantly liquid phase hydroprocessing reaction stage. Effluent from the first hydroprocessing reaction stage is sent to first separator zone of open and empty space in the upper part of the second hydroprocessing reaction stage to flash off the dissolved reaction products hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. Liquid part of the effluent of first hydroprocessing reaction stage is passed to the second predominantly liquid phase hydroprocessing reaction stage.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2018Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LIMITEDInventors: Ganesh Vitthalrao Butley, Yamini Gupta, Mainak Sarkar, Arun Arangarasu, Madhusudan Sau, Brijesh Kumar, Santanam Rajagopal, Ravinder Kumar Malhotra

Patent number: 10443002Abstract: The present invention discloses a process for enhancing quality of a hydrocarbon stream. More particularly, the present invention discloses a process for improvement of the combustion quality of a diesel range stream by dissolving an oxygen source in the feed stream before carrying out the oxidation, thereby enhancing the Cetane number, lubricity and reducing emission of the stream. The present invention also discloses a process for enhancing combustion quality of a hydrocarbon stream by carrying out the process in presence of an organometallic catalyst.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2013Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LIMITEDInventors: Mainak Sarkar, Arangarasu Arun, Yamini Gupta, Ganesh Vitthalrao Butley, Madhusudan Sau, Brijesh Kumar, Santanam Rajagopal, Arumugam Sakunthalai Ramadhas, Ravinder Kumar Malhotra

Patent number: 10047300Abstract: A novel process for metal content reduction of hydrocarbon oil is disclosed, which is primarily aimed at reduction of vanadium and nickel. The process uses electricity to accelerate the demetallation process, but only the flow of electrons of the electric current is used to expedite the reaction, instead of the electrolysis effect of the electric current. The process is carried out by adding inter-phase surface active reagent and phase transfer catalyst at a relatively low temperature range of 80 to 200° C. and achieves metal content reduction for vanadium and nickel. Aqueous phase alcoholic derivatives of amine solution is treated with hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, etc. by additive reaction to render it more suitable for carrying more electric current and make them more active for metal reduction.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2012Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LTD.Inventors: Madhusudan Sau, Ganesh Vitthalrao Butley, Yamini Gupta, Karumanchi Ramesh, Mainak Sarkar, Arangarasu Arun, Saeed Ahmed, Brijesh Kumar, Ravinder Kumar Malhotra

Patent number: 9644155Abstract: An integrated process for production of ultra low sulfur products of high octane gasoline, high aromatic naphtha and high Cetane Diesel from high aromatic middle distillate range streams from any cracker units such as Light Cycle Oil (LCO) stream of Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) units and subjected to hydrotreating for removal of heteroatoms like sulfur and nitrogen. The effluent from hydrotreating is subjected to hydrocracking at same pressure of hydrotreating step above for selective opening of saturated ring of multi-ring aromatics. The effluent from hydrocracking is separated in CUT-1, CUT 2 in which the monoaromatics and alkylated monoaromatics are concentrated and CUT-3 in which concentration of saturates significantly increased. The CUT-3 is selectively oxidized in selective oxidation step in presence of catalyst, an oxidizing agent and operating conditions such that it results in diesel product with more enhanced Cetane.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2015Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LTD.Inventors: Ganesh Vitthalrao Butley, Mainak Sarkar, Yamini Gupta, Arangarasu Arun, Madhusudan Sau, Vatsala Sugumaran, Vivekanand Kagdiyal, Paramasivam Sakthivel, Brijesh Kumar, Biswapriya Das

Publication number: 20140248191Abstract: A reactor assembly (1) for improving reaction between two immiscible phases for metal reduction of hydrocarbons is disclosed, which is a modification of a CSTR type reactor assembly. A third gaseous phase is also present in the reactor. Metal plates (5) are provided, mounted on supporting rods (6) which are electrically insulated from the rest of the reactor. The metal plates are made of the same metal to avoid detachment of metal atoms from metal plates. The metal plates serve as the means of transferring only the electrons from the metal plates to the liquids in which they are fully immersed, so that the reaction is made more efficient.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2012Publication date: September 4, 2014Inventors: Madhusudan Sau, Ganesh V.
