Patent number: 10533142Abstract: The invention concerns a process and a facility for reducing the concentration of heavy polycyclic aromatic compounds (HPNA) in the recycle loop of hydrocracking units, which comprises a fractionation column. In accordance with this process, a portion of the stream present at the level of at least one plate (I) which is the supply plate or a plate located between the supply plate and the residue evacuation point, or if stripping gas is injected, between the supply plate and the stripping gas injection point, is withdrawn from the fractionation column. A portion, preferably all, of the withdrawn stream is recycled to the hydrocracking step directly or after optional separation of the gases. The residue is purged in its entirety.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2015Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: AXENSInventors: Thibault Sauge, Roberto Gonzalez Llamazares, Jerome Bonnardot, Jacinthe Frecon

Patent number: 10465127Abstract: The invention concerns a process and a facility for reducing the concentration of heavy polycyclic aromatic compounds (HPNA) in the recycle loop of hydrocracking units, which comprises a fractionation column. In accordance with this process, a stream is withdrawn from the fractionation column at the level of at least one plate located between the supply plate and the plate for withdrawing the heaviest distillate fraction; the stream is stripped in an external stripping step by a stripping gas, in the presence of a portion of the residue. The separated gaseous effluent is recycled to the column, advantageously as a stripping gas, and the liquid fraction is recycled to the hydrocracking step; a residue is purged in the stripping step.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2015Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: AXENSInventors: Thibault Sauge, Roberto Gonzalez Llamazares, Jerome Bonnardot, Jacinthe Frecon
