  • Patent number: 10767123
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and a process for hydroconversion or hydrotreatment of a hydrocarbon feedstock, comprising in particular a single coil-wound heat exchanger (S-1), said coil-wound exchanger being a single-pass heat exchanger formed by a vertical chamber in which one or more bundles of tubes are helically wound around a central core, as numerous superposed layers, for: preheating a hydrocarbon feedstock/hydrogen stream mixture to a reactor inlet furnace (F-1) of a hydrotreatment or hydroconversion reaction section (R-1), and cooling the reaction effluent from the hydrotreatment or hydroconversion reaction section (R-1). The present invention also relates to a use of a coil-wound heat exchanger (S-1) in a process for hydroconversion or hydrotreatment of a hydrocarbon feedstock.

  • Patent number: 10611970
    Abstract: 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 located between the plate for supplying hydrocracked effluent and the plate for withdrawing the distillate fraction which is the heaviest is withdrawn from the fractionation column and at least a portion of said withdrawn stream is recycled to the column directly or after optional liquid separation, and optionally a portion of said withdrawn stream is recycled to the hydrocracking step directly or after optional gas separation.

  • Patent number: 10533142
    Abstract: 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evacuation point, or if stripping gas is injected, between the supply plate and the stripping gas injection point, is withdrawn from the fractionation column. A portion, preferably all, of the withdrawn stream is recycled to the hydrocracking step directly or after optional separation of the gases.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.

  • Patent number: 10465127
    Abstract: 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.
