Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of the extraction of sulphur-containing compounds such as the mercaptans, COS or H2S from a hydrocarbon-containing cut. This selective extraction is carried out by bringing the hydrocarbon-containing cut in liquid phase into contact with an alkaline solution, for example soda. The process according to the invention is an improved process for the regeneration of the alkaline solution, making it possible to reduce the quantity of alkaline solution required in the regeneration section.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of extraction of sulphur-containing compounds such as mercaptans, COS, H2S or CS2 from a hydrocarbon cut. This selective extraction is carried out by bringing the hydrocarbon cut in the liquid phase into contact with an alkaline solution, for example caustic soda. The process in accordance with the invention is an improved process for the regeneration of alkaline solution which can be used to reduce the quantity of alkaline solution necessary in the regeneration section.

Abstract: The present invention describes a process for the production of gasoline using a catalytic cracking unit, processing conventional heavy cuts in a wide Conradson carbon range from 0.1 to 0.8, said process comprising a preheating of the combustion air downstream of the air compressor by heat exchange with the combustion fumes originating from the regeneration section, said fumes being collected between the waste heat boiler and the economizer.

Abstract: A process for desulfurizing a cracked naphtha containing organic sulfur compounds: a) feeding the cracked naphtha to a distillation column comprising a bottom reboiler; b) fractionating said cracked naphtha into a light naphtha fraction and a heavy naphtha fraction which is removed as bottoms from the distillation column; c) feeding the heavy naphtha fraction and hydrogen to a hydrodesulfurization unit containing a hydrodesulfurization catalyst to produce a desulfurized heavy naphtha effluent. The process further includes providing heat to the distillation column by an intermediate reboiler powered with a heat source having a temperature lower than that one of the bottom reboiler.
