Olivier TOUZALIN has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9957448
    Abstract: The present application concerns a process for the treatment of a gasoline containing sulphur-containing compounds and olefins, with the following steps: a) a step for hydrodesulphurization of said gasoline in order to produce an effluent which is depleted in sulphur by passing the gasoline mixed with hydrogen over at least one hydrodesulphurization catalyst; b) a step for separating the partially desulphurized gasoline from the hydrogen introduced in excess as well as the H2S formed during step a); c) a catalytic step for sweetening desulphurized gasoline obtained from step b), which converts residual mercaptans into thioethers via an addition reaction with the olefins.

  • Patent number: 9745524
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process for treatment of a gasoline that comprises diolefins, olefins and sulfur-containing compounds including mercaptans, consisting of a stage for treatment of the gasoline in a distillation column (2) comprising at least one reaction zone (3) including at least one catalyst that makes it possible to carry out the addition of mercaptans to the olefins that are contained in the gasoline that distills toward the top of the catalytic column.

  • Patent number: 9505993
    Abstract: A process for the concomitant production of at least two hydrocarbon cuts with low sulphur contents from a mixture of hydrocarbons having a total sulphur content in the range 30 to 10000 ppm by weight, by a) hydrodesulphurization in the presence of hydrogen and a hydrodesulphurization catalyst; b) separating hydrogen sulphide from the partially desulphurized effluent obtained from a); c) hydrodesulphurization of the partially desulphurized mixture obtained from b) in the presence of hydrogen and a hydrodesulphurization catalyst, the temperature of the second hydrodesulphurization being higher than that of the first hydrodesulphurization; d) fractionating the desulphurized mixture obtained in c) into at least two desulphurized hydrocarbon cuts.

  • Patent number: 9222036
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process for treatment of a gasoline comprising diolefins, olefins, and sulfur-containing compounds including mercaptans, in which: Gasoline is injected into a distillation column comprising at least one reaction zone to produce a desulfurized light gasoline; with the process also comprising the following stages: An intermediate gasoline fraction is drawn off at a level located above the reaction zone; A heavy gasoline comprising the majority of the sulfur-containing compounds is drawn off at the bottom of the column; In a demercaptization reactor, said intermediate gasoline fraction is brought into contact with a second catalyst to produce an effluent that contains sulfides; The effluent that is obtained from the demercaptization reactor is recycled in the distillation column (3).

  • Publication number: 20150175910
    Abstract: A process for the treatment of a gasoline comprising diolefins, olefins and sulphur-containing compounds including mercaptans: a) demercaptanization by addition of at least a portion of the mercaptans onto the olefins by bringing the gasoline into contact with at least one first catalyst; b) treatment of the gasoline obtained from a) with hydrogen in a distillation column comprising at least one reaction zone including at least one second catalyst. The operating conditions and the second catalyst of b) are selected such that in the distillation column, separation of the gasoline obtained from a) into a light gasoline fraction and a heavy gasoline fraction is carried out simultaneously with a reaction for thioetherification and selective hydrogenation of the diolefins of a gasoline fraction obtained from a) by contact with the second catalyst.

  • Publication number: 20150166908
    Abstract: A process for treatment of gasoline comprising diolefins, olefins and sulphur-containing compounds including mercaptans. The process comprises: a) demercaptanization by addition of a portion of the mercaptans onto the olefins by bringing gasoline into contact with a first catalyst; b) separating the gasoline obtained from a) into a light gasoline cut and a heavy gasoline cut; c) introducing a stream of hydrogen and the second heavy gasoline cut obtained from b) into a distillation column comprising a reaction zone including a second catalyst in the sulphide form comprising a second support, a metal from group VIII and a metal from group VIb, to decompose the sulphur-containing compounds to form H2S; d) evacuating at a point located above the reaction zone at least one final light gasoline fraction comprising H2S, and at a point located below the reaction zone a desulphurized heavy gasoline fraction from the catalytic distillation column.
