  • Hydroprocessing process using uneven catalyst volume distribution among catalyst beds in liquid-full reactors
    Patent number: 8894838
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for hydroprocessing hydrocarbons with uneven catalyst volume distribution among two or more catalyst beds. The process operates as a liquid-full process, wherein all of the hydrogen dissolves in the liquid phase. Hydrocarbons can be converted in the process to provide a liquid product including clean fuels with multiple desired properties such as low density and high cetane number.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 29, 2011
    Date of Patent: November 25, 2014
    Assignee: E I du Pont de Nemours and Company
    Inventors: Hasan Dindi, Brian Paul Lamb, Luis Eduardo Murillo, Brian Boeger, Jeffrey D. Caton
