Abstract: The invention relates to a selective hydrogenolysis method for treating a feed rich in aromatic compounds having more than 8 carbon atoms, comprising transforming at least one alkyl group with at least two carbon atoms (ethyl, propyl, butyl, isopropyl, etc.) attached to a benzene ring into at least one methyl group. The invention also relates to the integration of the hydrogenolysis unit into an aromatic complex.

Abstract: Process for the production of a RON isomerate that is at least equal to 80 and that contains less than 1% by weight of aromatic compounds and for co-production of an aromatic fraction that for the most part contains toluene, starting from a fraction with 7 carbon atoms containing paraffins, aromatic compounds and naphthenes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for isomerising typically paraffinic hydrocarbon fractions having 5-7 carbon atoms consisting in using a membrane separation unit which is supplied by an overhead flux from a deisohexaniser which makes it possible to maximise the isopentane quantity in isomerate. Said invention makes it possible to definitely improve the isomerate RON and MON indices by the inventive method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for formulation of a synthetic gas oil or an additive for gas oil in which an alkyl-aromatic compound or a mixture of alkyl-aromatic compounds is selected based on at least one parameter that is selected from the group that consists of the number of cycles of the aromatic core, the number of alkyl chains that are grafted to the aromatic cycle, the length of the alkyl chain or chains, the position of the aromatic cycle or cycles on the alkyl chain or chains of said alkyl-aromatic compound or compounds such that the cetane number of the synthetic gas oil or the additive for gas oil is greater than 30. The invention also relates to a process for the production of alkyl-aromatic compounds for use as a gas oil or additive.

Abstract: A process is described for producing phenylalkanes by alkylating at least one aromatic compound using at least one linear olefin containing 9 to 16 carbon atoms per molecule. The alkylation reaction is carried out in the presence of at least two different catalysts used in at least two distinct reaction zones. The selectivity for a monoalkylated products of the catalyst contained in the first reaction zone is lower than that for the catalyst contained in the second reaction zone located downstream of the first in the direction movement of the fluids.

Abstract: A process for the production of an isomerate with a RON that is at least equal to 80 and that contains less than 1% by weight of aromatic compounds, starting with a fraction consisting mostly of hydrocarbons with 7 carbon atoms, and containing paraffins, naphthenes, and aromatic compounds in any proportion is described. Said process uses at least one isomerization unit, at least one unit for opening naphthene rings, and at least one separation unit; these units are combined in such a way as to recycle, to exhaustion, methyl cyclohexane, toluene, and normal paraffins and monobranched paraffins.
