  • Patent number: 10968406
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for the hydroconversion of heavy oil products (the fresh load). Said apparatus comprises: a slurry bubble column hydroconversion reactor, which comprises a feed line in which the fresh load and the recirculated slurry phase are conveyed, an inlet line for a hydrogenating stream and an outlet for a reaction effluent through an outlet nozzle; a stripping column at high pressure and high temperature placed downstream of the reactor and directly connected to the reactor head through a pipeline in which the reaction effluent flows; said column having an inlet line for a stripping gas, an inlet for the reactor effluent, a head outlet for steam and an outlet for the slurry phase; lines and means for recirculating the slurry leaving the stripping column; lines and means for taking a drain stream, which has the function of preventing the accumulation of solids in the reactor.

  • Patent number: 10479946
    Abstract: System and corresponding process for the hydroconversion of heavy oils essentially comprising a reactor, a liquid-vapor separator and a section for stripping conversion products outside the reactor comprising an inlet conduit for the stripping gases located at a point on the conduit providing a connection between the head of the reactor and the liquid-vapor separator inclined, at least from the point of entry, upwards with a gradient of between 2% and 20%, preferably between 3% and 12%, with respect to a horizontal plane. The inlet conduit for the stripping gases is inclined with respect to the axis of the conduit providing a connection between the reactor head and the liquid-vapor separator through an angle of between 20° and 65°, more preferably between 30° and 60°, even more preferably between 40° and 50°. The stripping gas delivered to the connection conduit between the head of the reactor and the separator flows in a downward direction.
