Patent number: 11021660Abstract: Provided herein are supercritical upgrading reactors and reactor systems for upgrading a petroleum-based composition by using one or more supercritical upgrading reactors and one or more supercritical standby reactors that alternate functions such that the supercritical upgrading reactor is converted to a supercritical standby reactor and the supercritical standby reactor is converted to a supercritical upgrading reactor. The supercritical upgrading reactor upgrades a combined feed stream while a supercritical standby reactor delivers a cleaning fluid into the supercritical standby reactor. The supercritical reactors may have one or more catalyst layers and one or more purging fluid inlets, and the catalyst layers may have differing void volume ratios.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2019Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Saudi Arabian Oil CompanyInventors: Ki-Hyouk Choi, Abdullah T. Alabdulhadi, Mohammad A. Al-Abdullah
