Didier Borremans has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9255229
    Abstract: The invention concerns a process for hydroconversion of a hydrocarbonaceous feedstock comprising: a preparation step of at least one catalyst in one or more preparation reactor upstream from a reaction section, wherein (i) at least one preparation reactor feeds one or more reactor of the reaction section, or (ii) preparation reactors are dedicated for catalysts fed to at least a hydroconversion reactor or at least a hydrotreatment reactor of the reaction section; a separation step of solids contained in the liquid effluents issued from the reaction section, a treatment step of residues issued from separation section, comprising a partial oxidation step wherein said residues are partially oxidized to produce carbon monoxide, hydrogen an a metal containing residue. Such process permits improving of products quality, operation of the separation section, recovering of catalytic metals contained in the feed and supplying hydrogen to the reaction section.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 5, 2011
    Date of Patent: February 9, 2016
    Assignee: TOTAL RAFFINAGE MARKETING
    Inventors: Didier Borremans, Maxime Lacroix, Katell Le Lannic-Dromard, Marie Ropars, Gloria Vendrell
  • Patent number: 9233359
    Abstract: The invention concerns a process for upgrading lower quality carbonaceous feedstock using a slurry catalyst composition. The use of particular organometallic compounds as precursors for the dispersed active catalyst allows for reduced coke formation.

  • Patent number: 9233363
    Abstract: A process for upgrading heavy hydrocarbonaceous feedstocks in at least one hydroconversion reactor for hydroconversion of the heavy hydrocarbonaceous feedstocks and in at least one hydrotreatment reactor for hydrotreatment of the heavy hydrocarbonaceous feedstocks, comprising the preparation of two or more catalysts, each catalyst being prepared from one or more catalyst precursor in at least one specific preparation reactor, the catalyst precursor containing at least one transition metal selected from group IIA, IIIB, IVB, VB, VIB, VIIB, VIII, IB or IIB of the periodic table of elements, and each preparation reactor feeding one or more hydroconversion or hydrotreatment reactor, each catalyst contained in preparation reactors being dedicated to hydroconversion or hydrotreatment of the feedstocks.
