  • Patent number: 10118824
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for purifying synthesis gas, comprising at least one stage for separating the crude synthesis gas to be treated into at least two effluents, namely a first part and a complementary part, in which the said first part is subjected to a carbon monoxide conversion stage with steam and the said complementary part is subjected to a COS and HCN catalytic hydrolysis stage, the two gas flows, namely the first part and complementary part, are then each treated separately in two stages intended to remove acid gases such as CO2 and H2S, by washing with aqueous solutions of specific amines, before a recombination stage of the two treated effluents.

  • Patent number: 10072221
    Abstract: Process for hydrotreatment of hydrocarbon-containing feedstock comprising sulphur- and nitrogen-containing compounds, comprising: a) separating the feedstock into heavy and light fractions, b) a first hydrotreatment stage wherein the heavy fraction and hydrogen are contacted with a first hydrotreatment catalyst Z1 to produce a first desulphurized effluent, c) separating the first effluent into a first gaseous fraction and a first liquid fraction, d) purifying the first gaseous fraction to produce a hydrogen-rich flow, e) mixing the light fraction with the first liquid fraction to produce a mixture, f) a second hydrotreatment stage wherein the mixture from stage e) and the hydrogen-rich flow from stage d) are contacted with a second hydrotreatment catalyst Z2 to produce a second desulphurized effluent, g) separating the second effluent into a second gaseous fraction and a second liquid fraction, h) recycling at least part of the second gaseous fraction to b) as a flow of hydrogen.

  • Patent number: 9963646
    Abstract: A process for the hydrotreatment of a hydrocarbon feedstock in which: a) at least one hydrotreatment step is implemented in which at least a part of said feedstock and a gaseous flow comprising hydrogen is brought into contact with a hydrotreatment catalyst to obtain a hydrotreated effluent comprising hydrogen, and sulphurous and nitrogenous compounds; b) the hydrotreated effluent is separated to obtain a first gaseous effluent and a first liquid effluent; c) the first liquid effluent is expanded and the first liquid effluent is separated to obtain a second gaseous effluent and a second liquid effluent; d) the second gaseous effluent is cooled and separated to obtain a third gaseous effluent and a third liquid effluent; and e) a part of the third gaseous effluent is recycled.
