Publication number: 20130178673Abstract: This invention relates to a method of producing aromatics and olefins from oils derived from coal or wood, including partially saturating and cracking the oils derived from coal or wood in a hydrogenation & reaction area, separating them depending on the number of carbons, recirculating heavy oils having 11 or more carbons to the hydrogenation & reaction area, feeding oils suitable for producing BTX to an aromatic separation process and a transalkylation process to recover aromatics, and feeding hydrocarbonaceous components having 5 or less carbons to a light separation process, thus obtaining olefins.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2011Publication date: July 11, 2013Applicant: SK INNOVATION CO., LTD.Inventors: Hong Chan Kim, Yong Seung Kim, Sung Won Kim, Sang Hun Oh, Hyuck Jae Lee, Dae Hyun Choo, Cheol Joong Kim, Gyung Rok Kim, Myoung Han Noh, Jae Suk Koh, Hyun Chul Choi, Eun Kyoung Kim, Yoon Kyung Lee, Jong Hyung Lee, Sun Choi, Seung Hoon Oh, Jae Hyun Koh, Sang Il Lee, Seung Woo Lee

Publication number: 20130172639Abstract: Provided is a method for producing aromatic hydrocarbons, by which a feedstock containing a hydrogenation-treated oil of a thermally cracked heavy oil obtainable from an ethylene production apparatus is brought into contact with a catalyst for monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon production containing a crystalline aluminosilicate, and thereby aromatic hydrocarbons are produced. A raw material having an end point of the distillation characteristics of 400° C. or lower is used as the feedstock. The contact between the feedstock and the catalyst for monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon production is carried out at a pressure of 0.1 MPaG to 1.5 MPaG.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2011Publication date: July 4, 2013Applicant: JX NIPPON OIL & ENERGY CORPORATIONInventors: Shinichiro Yanagawa, Ryoji Ida, Masahide Kobayashi

Publication number: 20130165711Abstract: This invention has as its object a process for selective hydrogenation of an unsaturated olefinic feedstock that comprises 3 or 4 carbon atoms, using at least two switchable fixed-bed reactors, each containing at least one catalytic bed and in which said feedstock successively passes through all of the reactors, and in which, each time that one of the reactors is deactivated, the point of introduction of the feedstock is moved downstream.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2012Publication date: June 27, 2013Applicant: IFP ENERGIES NOUVELLESInventor: IFP ENERGIES NOUVELLES

Publication number: 20130158312Abstract: A process for reforming a hydrocarbon stream is presented. The process involves splitting a naphtha feedstream to at least two feedstreams and partially processing each feedstream in separate reactors. The processing includes passing the light stream to a combination hydrogenation/dehydrogenation reactor. The process reduces the energy by reducing the endothermic properties of intermediate reformed process streams.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2011Publication date: June 20, 2013Applicant: UOP LLCInventors: Manuela Serban, Kurt M. Vanden Bussche, Mark D. Moser, David A. Wegerer

Publication number: 20130158310Abstract: A process for reforming hydrocarbons is presented. The process involves applying process controls over the reaction temperatures to preferentially convert a portion of the hydrocarbon stream to generate an intermediate stream, which will further react with reduced endothermicity. The intermediate stream is then processed at a higher temperature, where a second reforming reactor is operated under substantially isothermal conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2011Publication date: June 20, 2013Applicant: UOP LLCInventors: Manuela Serban, Kurt M. Vanden Bussche, Mark D. Moser, David A. Wegerer
