  • Patent number: 9617485
    Abstract: A process for the hydroprocessing of a gas oil (GO) hydrocarbon feed to provide high yield of a diesel fraction. The process comprises a liquid-full hydrotreating reaction zone followed by a liquid-full hydrocracking reaction zone. A refining zone may be integrated with the hydrocracking reaction zone. Ammonia and other gases formed during the hydrotreatment are removed in a separation step prior to hydrocracking.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 10, 2014
    Date of Patent: April 11, 2017
    Assignee: E I DU PONT DE NEMOURS AND COMPANY

  • Patent number: 9365782
    Abstract: A process for the hydroprocessing of a low-value light cycle oil (LCO) hydrocarbon feed to provide a high-value diesel-range product. The process comprises a hydrotreatment stage followed by a hydrocracking stage, each of which is conducted under liquid-full reaction conditions wherein substantially all the hydrogen supplied to the hydrotreating and hydrocracking reactions is dissolved in the liquid-phase hydrocarbon feed. Ammonia and optionally other gases formed during hydrotreatment are removed in a separation step prior to hydrocracking. The LCO feed is advantageously converted to diesel in high yield with little loss of hydrocarbon to naphtha.

  • Patent number: 8682051
    Abstract: A data processing technique is provided. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a set of dynamic computed tomography image data from a computed tomography imaging system, registering the image data, applying a smoothing filter to at least a selection of the registered image data, and outputting the results. The smoothing filter may be, for example, a uniform filter, a triangular filter, a Gaussian filter, a median filter, a percentile filter, a Kuwahara filter, an anisotropic filter, or any combination thereof. Additional methods, systems, and devices are also disclosed.
