Abstract: The invention relates to a method for optimizing layered catalytic processes. This is accomplished by testing various catalysts with a compound found in a feedstock to be tested, to determine the facility of the catalyst in hydrogenating, hydrosulfurizing, or hydrodenitrogenating the molecule, and hence the feedstock. In a preferred embodiment, the Double Bond Equivalence of the feedstock and molecule are determined, and catalysts are pre-selected based upon their known ability to work with materials of this DBE value. In preferred embodiments, the layered catalysts include a demetallization catalyst, used before hydrocracking. In additional preferred embodiments, the test feedstock contains 500 ppmw or less asphaltenes, preferably C5-asphaltenes.

Abstract: In a hydrocracking process, the product from the first stage reactor passes through a steam stripper to remove hydrogen, H2S, NH3, light gases (C1-C4), naphtha and diesel products. The stripper bottoms are separated from hydrogen, H2S, NH3, light gases (C1-C4), naphtha, and diesel products and treated in a second stage reactor. The effluent stream from the second stage reactor, along with the stream of separated hydrogen, H2S, NH3, light gases (C1-C4), naphtha, and diesel products, are passed to a separation stage for separating petroleum fractions. Preferably, the effluent stream from the first stage reactor is passed through a steam generator prior to the steam stripping step. In an alternate embodiment, the effluent stream from the first stage reactor is passed through a vapor/liquid separator stripper vessel prior to the steam stripping step.

Abstract: The invention relates to processes for removing impurities, such as asphalt, from whole crude oil. The invention is accomplished by first deasphalting a feedstock, followed by processing resulting DAO and asphalt fractions. The DAO fraction is hydrocracked, resulting in removal of sulfur and hydrocarbons which boil at temperatures over 370° C., and gasifying the asphalt portion.

Abstract: In a copying machine having an image memory that stores image data, a DRAM control IC that repetitively reads out image data from the image memory, and an image forming section that forms the images for the specified number of copies, a write processing section having a number of pixels counter that counts the number of pixels included in the image data for the predetermined number of pages at the time of reading, a first memory that stores the count value for the nth copy, a second memory that stores the count value for the (n+1)th copy, and an image control CPU that compares the count value stored in the first memory with the count value stored in the second memory and thereby judges the occurrence of errors in the print process if the two counts are not equal to each other and carries out error processing.
