  • Slurry hydroconversion using enhanced slurry catalysts
    Patent number: 10035959
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for slurry hydroconversion of a heavy oil feed, such as an atmospheric or vacuum resid. The systems and methods allow for slurry hydroconversion using catalysts with enhanced activity and/or catalysts that can be recycled as a side product from a complementary refinery process.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 19, 2014
    Date of Patent: July 31, 2018
    Assignee: EXXONMOBIL RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING COMPANY
    Inventors: Ramanathan Sundararaman, Thomas Francis Degnan, Jr., Rustom Merwan Billimoria, Natalie Ann Fassbender, Manuel A. Francisco, Anjaneya Sarma Kovvali, Randolph J. Smiley, John Peter Greeley, William Ernest Lewis, Roby Bearden, Jr.
  • SLURRY HYDROCONVERSION CATALYSTS
    Publication number: 20170050177
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for slurry hydroconversion of a heavy oil feedstock, such as an atmospheric or vacuum resid, in the presence of an enhanced or promoted slurry hydroconversion catalyst system. The slurry hydroconversion catalyst system can be formed from a) a Group VIII non-noble metal catalyst precursor/concentrate (such as an iron-based catalyst precursor/concentrate) and b) a Group VI metal catalyst precursor/concentrate (such as a molybdenum-based catalyst precursor/concentrate) and/or a Group VI metal sulfided catalyst.

  • Pretreatment of FCC naphthas and selective hydrotreating
    Patent number: 8828218
    Abstract: This invention provides methods for multi-stage hydroprocessing treatment of FCC naphthas for improving the overall production quantity of naphtha boiling-range materials during naphtha production for low sulfur gasolines. Of particular benefit of the present processes is the selective treating of cat naphthas to remove gums instead of undercutting the overall naphtha pool by lowering the end cutpoints of the cat naphtha fraction. This maximizes the amount of refinery cat naphtha that can be directed to the gasoline blending pool while eliminating existing processing problems in hydrodesulfurization units. The processes disclosed herein have the additional benefit of minimizing octane losses in the increased naphtha pool volume.
