  • PROCESSES FOR PRODUCING HYDROGEN GAS STREAM FROM AN OFFGAS STREAM
    Publication number: 20160289070
    Abstract: Processes for producing a recycle hydrogen gas stream from an offgas separated from a reaction zone effluent. The reaction zone may receive a renewable feedstock and produce an effluent with gaseous components of hydrogen and light hydrocarbons. The offgas may be compressed, pass through hydrogen sulfide removal and then be sent to a reforming unit, such as a steam reformer. The steam reformer will generate additional hydrogen which can be recycled back to the reaction zone.

  • Separation and use of a gaseous stripping media in a hydrotreating process
    Patent number: 4130476
    Abstract: A process for hydrotreating petroleum fractions wherein a hydrogen-rich gas stream passed through the reaction zone on a once-through basis is obtained by passing a hydrogen-containing feed gas stream through an absorber which removes light paraffins. The gas separated from the reaction zone effluent by partial condensation is passed into a stripper as the stripping media used to remove these same light paraffins from the liquid used in the absorber.

  • Hydrocarbon reforming process
    Patent number: 4129496
    Abstract: A process for the catalytic reforming of hydrocarbons wherein a hydrogen-rich gas stream passed through the reaction zone on a once-through basis is obtained by passing a hydrogen-containing feed gas stream through an absorber which removes light paraffins. The gas separated from the reaction zone effluent by partial condensation is passed into a stripper as the stripping media used to remove these same light paraffins from the liquid used in the absorber.

  • Alkylaromatic hydrocarbon dealkylation process
    Patent number: 4058452
    Abstract: A process for the dealkylation of alkylaromatic hydrocarbons wherein a hydrogen-rich gas stream passed through the reaction zone on a once-through basis is obtained by passing a hydrogen-containing feed gas stream into an absorber to remove light paraffins, and the gas separated from the reaction zone effluent by partial condensation is passed into a stripper as the stripping media used to remove these same light paraffins from the liquid used in the absorber. Processes for removing and hydrotreating are also described.
