  • Patent number: 9556387
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the catalytic hydrotreating of a feed of oil origin, of diesel fuel type, in at least one fixed-bed hydrotreating reactor, for manufacturing diesel fuel, characterized in that incorporated into said feed are vegetable oils and/or animal fats up to a level of around 30% by weight, the mixture of said feed and vegetable oils and/or animal fats being introduced into the reactor operating in a single pass, without recycling liquid effluent at the top of the reactor. It also relates to a hydrotreating reactor for implementing said process, and to a corresponding hydrorefining unit.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: January 31, 2017
    Assignee: TOTAL RAFFINAGE FRANCE
    Inventors: Vincent Mayeur, Cesar Vergel, Laurent Mariette
  • Patent number: 9193919
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of pyrolysis oil and also to a process for upgrading of pyrolysis oil implementing said HDO process, and also to processing of the aqueous phase resulting from the HDO by steam pre-reforming and then steam reforming.

  • Patent number: 9062258
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the catalytic hydrotreating of a feedstock of petroleum origin of diesel fuel type and of a feedstock of biological origin based on vegetable oils and/or animal fats in a stationary bed catalytic hydrotreating unit, the said process being characterized in that the feedstock of petroleum origin is introduced into the said reactor upstream of the feedstock of biological origin. It also relates to a catalytic hydrotreating unit for the implementation of the said process and to a corresponding hydrorefining unit.

  • Patent number: 8887773
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for loading solid particles into a vessel, comprising: a means for supplying solid particles to be distributed, said means pouring said solid particles into a supply pipe (1), a movable assembly (2) arranged below the supply pipe (1), comprising a central shaft (3) and deflector elements (5) which are integral in rotation with said shaft and arranged around the shaft on multiple vertical tiers (E1-E4) and are articulated about it in such a way that they can lift up, a supply pipe (1) surrounding at least partially said central shaft and comprising at least one orifice (4) for discharging the solid particles which is arranged on a side and/or horizontal wall, this device being characterized in that the movable assembly (2) is designed in such a way as to allow adjustment of the position of the deflector elements (5) on the central shaft (3) in order to vary its permeability to the solid particles.

  • Publication number: 20100065475
    Abstract: Process for FCC pretreatment by mild hydrocracking including diluting the feedstock with a feedstock of biological origin The invention relates to a process which comprises the stages consisting in carrying out a mild hydrocracking, implemented under a pressure of 20 to 120 bar and at a temperature of between 300 and 500° C., on a hydrocarbon feedstock comprising or consisting of a feedstock of petroleum origin, comprising or consisting of a vacuum distillate fraction and/or a deasphalted oil, at least 85% by weight of which boils above 370° C., and a feedstock of biological origin comprising components of vegetable oil and/or animal fat type, in order to produce gas oil and an effluent having an initial boiling point of greater than 330° C. within the meaning of the simulated distillation according to standard ASTM D2287, and carrying out a catalytic cracking (FCC) of a composition comprising or consisting of said effluent, and to a plant which makes it possible to carry out this process.
