Middle distillates which do not meet commercial specifications in regard to total sulfur content can be hydrodesulfurized for the removal of the portion of the total sulfur required for meeting the commercial requirement. Such hydrodesulfurization requires more severe conditions than do processes for reduction of total acid number or for reduction of mercaptan sulfur content so that under the severe conditions required for hydrodesulfurization, excessive total acid number and excessive mercaptan content are automatically concomitantly reduced to commerically acceptable levels. The present invention relates to the hydrotreatment of virgin middle distillates which meet commercial specifications in regard to total sulfur content in the absence of prior hydrotreating or any other treatment, but do not meet commercial specifications in regard to total acid number or in regard to mercaptan sulfur content. According to the present invention, the latter middle distillates are not blended with high total sulfur feeds flowing to hydrodesulfurization processes requiring severe conditions to accomplish reduction in total sulfur content, but are hydrotreated separately under relatively more mild catalytic hydrotreating conditions to reduce mercaptan sulfur content or total acid number at hydrotreating severities which are so mild that there is an extremely limited consumption of hydrogen and a very limited removal of total sulfur. The catalyst employed in the mild hydrotreating processes of this invention is a deactivated hydrotreating catalyst from a more severe hydrodesulfurization or other hydrotreating operation which is no longer of viable use in the more severe operation due to numerous cycles of use and regeneration, due to excessive metals deposit thereon, or any other reason.,下面是Method for reducing the total acid number of a middle distillate oil专利的具体信息内容。

1. A RELATIVELY LOW PRESSURE PROCESS FOR HYDROTREATING A STRAIGHT RUN NO. 2 HOME HEATING FUEL OIL FEED HAVING A TOTAL SULFUR CONTENT OF LESS THAN 0.2 WEIGHT PERCENT. COMPRISING PASSING SAID OIL OVER A HYDROTREATING CATALYST, SAID STRAIGHT RUN FEED OIL HAVING A TOTAL ACID NUMBER GREATER THAN 0.1 AS DETERMINED BY ASTM TEST D664 OR D974, THE PRESSURE IN SAID PROCESS BEING NO GREATER THAN ABOUT 150 PSI, THE TEMPERATURE IN SAID PROCESS BEING FROM 400* TO BELOW 500*F., HYDROGEN CONSUMPTION INCLUDING SOLUTION LOSSES IN SAID PROCESS BEING NO GREATER THAN ABOUT 25 STANDARD CUBIC FEET OF HYDROGEN PER BARREL OF FEED OIL, AND RECOVERING AN EFFLUENT OIL HAVING A TOTAL ACID NUMBER NO GREATER THAN 0.1.
2. The process of claim 1 wherein said hydrotreating catalyst previously has been used in a relatively high pressure hydrotreating process.
3. The process of claim 1 wherein said hydrotreating catalyst previously has been used in a relatively high pressure hydrotreating process until it has been substantially permanently deactivated for purposes of said high pressure process.
4. The process of claim 1 wherein the total acid number of the feed oil is reduced at least about 80 percent while the total sulfur content of the feed oil is reduced not more than 40 weight percent.
5. The process of claim 1 wherein the catalyst comprises supported Group VI and Group VIII metals and the pressure is no greater than 100 psi.
6. The process of claim 1 wherein the temperature is below 450.degree.F.
7. The process of claim 1 wherein the LHSV is between 4 and 8.
8. The process of claim 1 wherein the total acid number of the feed oil is reduced at least about 80 percent while not more than about 20 weight percent of the total sulfur content of the feed oil is removed.
9. The process of claim 2 wherein the prior relatively high pressure hydrotreating process is a hydrodesulfurization process operated at a pressure above 600 psi.
10. The process of claim 1 wherein chemical hydrogen consumption excluding solution losses is less than 10 standard cubic feet per barrel of feed oil.
11. The process of claim 1 wherein hydrogen consumption including solution losses is less than 20 standard cubic feet per barrel of feed oil.
12. The process of claim 1 wherein the hydrogen circulation rate is between 200 and 1,200 standard cubic feet per barrel of feed oil.
13. The process of claim 1 wherein the total acid number of said feed oil is above 0.47 or more.
14. The process of claim 1 wherein there is substantially 100 percent yield of said feed oil.
15. A relatively low pressure process for hydrotreating a straight run No. 2 home heating fuel oil feed having a total sulfur content of less than 0.2 weight percent, comprising passing said oil over a hydrotreating catalyst which has been used in a prior relatively high pressure hydrotreating process until it has been substantially permanently deactivated for purposes of said high pressure process, said straight run feed oil having a total acid number greater than 0.2 as determined by ASTM test D664 or D974, the pressure in said process being no greater than about 150 psi, the temperature in said process being from 400.degree. to below 500.degree.F., unit hydrogen consumption including solution losses in said process being no greater than about 30 standard cubic feet of hydrogen per barrel of feed oil, and recovering an effluent oil having a total acid number no greater than 0.2.
