  • FLOW CONFIGURATIONS USING A NORMAL PARAFFIN SEPARATION UNIT WITH ISOMERIZATION IN THE REFORMING UNIT
    Publication number: 20180334623
    Abstract: A process is presented for recovering the hydrocarbon components from a naphtha feed to pass to a gasoline blending pool or to change the operations to increase the production of light olefins. The process includes the separation of the naphtha feedstock into a light naphtha stream and a heavy naphtha stream. The process further includes separating the light naphtha stream to recovery high quality non-normal hydrocarbons, and to separate normal hydrocarbons to the feed to the cracking unit.

  • USE OF PLATFORMING PROCESS TO ISOMERIZE LIGHT PARAFFINS
    Publication number: 20180327675
    Abstract: A process is presented for improving the feed to a cracking unit and a reforming unit from a naphtha feedstock. The process includes the use of a separation unit to generate a light naphtha feed and a heavy naphtha feed. The process further includes separating the light naphtha feed into a light naphtha feed comprising normal hydrocarbons and a light naphtha feed comprising non-normal hydrocarbons. The light naphtha feed comprising normal hydrocarbon is passed to the cracking unit and the heavy naphtha feed is passed to the reforming unit.

  • PRODUCTION OF CARBON DIOXIDE FROM SYNTHESIS GAS
    Publication number: 20120152120
    Abstract: The present invention provides a series of processing steps to remove carbon dioxide from synthesis gas. The syngas exiting a hydrogen sulfide absorber is first compressed, subjected to a dehydration step and a low temperature liquefaction and separation to remove carbon dioxide. The high pressure syngas then continues on to a carbon dioxide absorber for carbon dioxide removal. The system can operate with lower solvent rates and equipment sizes compared to prior art systems.

  • METHOD FOR TREATING SPENT REGENERATION GAS
    Publication number: 20110142738
    Abstract: The invention covers a method for treating spent regeneration gas from one or more molecular sieve treaters, first in an amine solvent unit and then in a caustic unit. The amine solvent unit removes hydrogen sulfide and carbonyl sulfide and the caustic unit removes mercaptans. Optionally, there are additional treatments before the treated gas has met specifications for burning as a fuel or used for other purposes.
