  • Patent number: 10870068
    Abstract: A gas stream comprising LPG and naphtha hydrocarbons is absorbed with a sponge absorbent to recover LPG and naphtha hydrocarbons. The gas stream may comprise stripper off gas and/or PSA tail gas. An absorbent stream may be a stripped stream. The stripper off gas stream and the stripped stream may be obtained from a stripper that is downstream of a hydroprocessing unit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 4, 2018
    Date of Patent: December 22, 2020
    Assignee: UOP LLC
    Inventors: Kiran Ladkat, Hemant Mahajan, Neeraj Tiwari
  • Patent number: 10781380
    Abstract: A medium separator is used to recover a gaseous stream from a hydroprocessed liquid stream for hydrogen recovery in a hydrogen recovery unit. A medium flash drum may further remove liquid components from the gaseous stream prior to hydrogen recovery in the hydrogen recovery unit.

  • Patent number: 10041008
    Abstract: A process and apparatus are disclosed for recovering hydroprocessing effluent from a hydroprocessing unit utilizing a hot stripping column and a cold stripping column. A light fractionation column fractionates naphtha from kerosene predominantly from a cold stripped stream. A heavy fractionation column fractionates diesel from unconverted oil predominantly present in a hot stripped stream. Only the hot hydroprocessing effluent is heated in a fired heater prior to entering the heavy fractionation column, resulting in substantial operating and capital savings.

  • Patent number: 9809763
    Abstract: A process and apparatus is disclosed for recovering hydrotreating effluent from a hydrotreating unit utilizing a hot stripper and a cold stripper. Only the hot hydrotreating effluent is heated in a fired heater prior to product fractionation, resulting in substantial operating and capital savings. The cold stripped stream from the cold stripper bottoms line may be passed directly to a diesel pool when VGO is hydrotreated in the hydrotreating reactor bypassing the product fractionation column.
