  • Patent number: 10793790
    Abstract: Process for the production of middle distillates from a paraffinic feedstock produced by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis comprising at least one light fraction, known as condensate, and a heavy fraction, known as waxes, in which: the said light fraction is stored in a vessel (B) maintained under an inert atmosphere and in which the temperature inside the vessel is maintained at a value of less than 20° C.; the said heavy fraction is stored in a vessel (C) maintained under an inert atmosphere and in which the temperature inside the vessel is maintained at a value of between 80 and 230° C.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10711206
    Abstract: Method for starting up a method for producing kerosene and diesel fuel from hydrocarbon compounds produced by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The start-up method employs catalytic reaction of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis with a synthesis gas for producing a heavy hydrocarbon fraction and a light hydrocarbon fraction, a reduction (RE) reducing a hydrotreatment catalyst by ensuring contact with a gas comprising hydrogen, bringing the heavy hydrocarbon fraction into contact with the hydrotreatment catalyst (DM). During the step for ensuring contact, the temperature (TEMP) of the catalyst is increased to a temperature of between 260° C. and 360° C. Then, (TR) bringing a mixture comprising the heavy hydrocarbon fraction and the light hydrocarbon fraction into contact with the hydrotreatment catalyst is carried out.

  • Patent number: 9683180
    Abstract: A process for the hydrotreatment of a vacuum distillate type hydrocarbon feed containing nitrogen-containing compounds is described, comprising a first step in which the feed is brought into contact with a catalyst in its oxide form, then a second step in which the feed is brought into contact with a dried catalyst comprising at least one organic compound containing oxygen and/or nitrogen.

  • Patent number: 9546329
    Abstract: A process for the production of middle distillates from a paraffinic feedstock produced by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis comprising a limited content of molecules containing at least one oxygen atom. In the process, the feedstock is subjected to at least one hydrocracking/hydroisomerization stage in the presence of a hydrogen stream also containing a limited atomic oxygen content.

  • Patent number: 9353320
    Abstract: A method for producing middle distillates from a feedstock produced by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and containing oxygenated compounds, including: a) a step of bringing the feedstock into contact with a hydrotreating catalyst allowing the methanation of the CO and CO2 contained in the feedstock or originating from the decomposition of the oxygenated compounds present in the feedstock, b) a step of hydroisomerization/hydrocracking of at least a part of the liquid and gaseous effluent originating from step a), in the presence of a hydroisomerization/hydrocracking catalyst, c) a step of gas/liquid separation of the effluent originating from step b) into a gaseous fraction comprising predominantly hydrogen and a hydroisomerized/hydrocracked liquid fraction, d) a step of fractionation of the liquid fraction separated in step c) to obtain at least one fraction of middle distillate, in which the hydrogen in step a) is obtained from the gaseous fraction separated in step c).
