  • Heavy feed hydroconversion method in ebullated bed mode with feed injection at the reactor top
    Patent number: 8961778
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of hydroconverting in ebullated bed mode a petroleum feed containing a significant amount of light fractions and, among other things, asphaltenes, sulfur-containing and metallic impurities. More precisely, the object of the invention is a hydroconversion method using at least one ebullated-bed reactor for which injection of the feed is carried out at the top of said reactor, in the gas overhead, and involving separation within said feed inside the reactor into a vaporized fraction and a liquid fraction. The invention also relates to the reactor allowing said method to be implemented.
