121 METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR OPTIMIZING MECHANICAL VAPOR COMPRESSION AND/OR THERMAL VAPOR COMPRESSION WITHIN MULTIPLE-STAGE PROCESSES US17834339 2022-06-07 US20220305398A1 2022-09-29 Lynn Allen CRAWFORD; William Bryan SCHAFER, III
The present invention utilizes mechanical vapor compression and/or thermal vapor compression integrating compression loops across multiple process stages. A sequential network of compressors is utilized to increase the pressure and condensing temperature of the vapors within each process stage, as intra-vapor flow, and branching between process stages, as inter-vapor flow. Because the vapors available are shared among and between compressor stages, the number of compressors can be reduced, improving economics. Balancing vapor mass flow through incremental compressor stages which traverse multiple process stages by splitting vapors between compressor stages enables the overall vapor-compression system to be tailored to individual process energy requirements and to accommodate dynamic fluctuations in process conditions.

130 Maximizing aromatics production from hydrocracked naphtha US13875506 2013-05-02 US09109169B2 2015-08-18 Fahad Al-Therwi; Noaman Al-Fudail; Mansoor Aleidi
A gasoline blending components production system useful for producing both aromatics and gasoline blending components from naphtha. The production system includes a light hydrocracked naphtha splitter, a medium hydrocracked naphtha splitter, a naphtha hydrotreater, an isomerization unit, a continuous catalytic reformer and aromatics complex. The production system is operable to produce both refined benzene and para-xylene products in addition to medium hydrocracked naphtha, isomerate, a C7s cut and a C9+ cut, which are useful for gasoline blending without additional treatment. A method for producing gasoline blending components while maximizing aromatic production includes introducing both stabilized hydrocracked naphtha to the light hydrocracked naphtha splitter and straight run naphtha to the naphtha hydrotreater. Operating the production system produces three types of hydrocracked naphtha: a light hydrocracked naphtha, a medium hydrocracked naphtha and a heavy hydrocracked naphtha. Light and heavy hydrocracked naphtha are directed to the naphtha hydrotreater.

133 Hydrocarbon conversion US899219 1997-07-23 US5932777A 1999-08-03 Edward L. Sughrue, II; Charles A. Drake; Scott D. Love
A hydrocarbon conversion process comprises: (1) contacting a hydrocarbon feed such as, for example, gasoline, with a catalyst under a sufficient condition to effect the conversion of the hydrocarbon to a product stream comprising aromatic hydrocarbons and olefins; (2) separating the product stream into a lights fraction comprising primarily hydrocarbons less than 6 carbon atoms per molecule, a middle fraction comprising C.sub.6 -C.sub.8 aromatic hydrocarbons and non-aromatic hydrocarbons, and a C.sub.9 + fraction comprising aromatic compounds; (3) separating the C.sub.6 -C.sub.8 aromatic hydrocarbons from the middle fraction; and (4) separating hydrocarbons containing 5 or more carbons per molecule (C.sub.5 + hydrocarbons) from the lights fraction. The C.sub.5 + hydrocarbons can be combined with the hydrocarbon feed. The non-aromatic hydrocarbons can also be converted to olefins by a thermal cracking process. Furthermore, the middle fraction can also be obtained by reforming naphtha.

A process combination is disclosed to selectively upgrade naphtha in accordance with expected trends leading to more-aliphatic gasolines. Such gasolines contain lower concentrations of aromatics and have lower end points with concomitant reduced harmful automotive emissions. The present process combination converts the higher-boiling portion of the naphtha, yields isobutane and other isoparaffins which are particularly suitable for upgrading or blending, and reduces cyclics in intermediate processing steps.

A sulfur-containing catalytically cracked naphtha is upgraded to form a low-sulfur gasoline product by a process which retains the octane contribution from the olefinic front end of the naphtha. Initially, the mercaptan sulfur in the front end of the cracked naphtha is converted to higher boiling disulfides by oxidation. The front end, which is then essentially an olefinic, high octane sulfur-free material, may be blended directly into the gasoline pool. The back end, which now contains the original higher boiling sulfur components such as thiophenes, together with the sulfur transferred from the front end as disulfides, is hydrotreated to produce a desulfurized product. This desulfurized product, which has undergone a loss in octane by saturation of olefins, is then treated in a second stage, by contact with a catalyst of acidic functionality, preferably a zeolite such as ZSM-5, under conditions which produce a product in the gasoline boiling range of higher octane value. Because this second product may contain combined organic sulfur, it may be subjected to a final desulfurization to reduce organic sulfur to acceptable levels.

A process which comprises fractionating a wide-boiling range naphtha feedstock into a low-boiling, light-naphtha fraction having an end or maximum boiling point within the range of about 190.degree. to about 200.degree. F. (88.degree. to about 104.degree. C.), and a high-boiling, heavy-naphtha fraction having an initial boiling point within a range of about 190.degree. to about 220.degree. F. (88.degree. to about 104.degree. C.), and contacting the light-naphtha fraction in an isomerization zone with added hydrogen and a catalyst comprising tantalum pentafluoride and hydrogen halide to produce effluent yielding naphthene components which are blended with the heavy-naphtha fraction. The resulting blended material can be processed by reforming to produce an aromatic-rich naphtha product and hydrogen.
137 Combination process for upgrading naphtha US954064 1978-10-23 US4190519A 1980-02-26 Stephen J. Miller; Thomas R. Hughes
A straight-run naphtha is fractionated at about 66.degree. C., which is just below the boiling point of methylcyclopentane. The 66.degree. C.+ fraction is reformed, and at least a portion of the reformate combined with the 66.degree. C.- fraction and reacted under aromatization conditions over a ZSM-5-type catalyst to form a C.sub.5 + product rich in aromatics. The C.sub.5 + aromaticized product and the remaining reformate can be either sent for BTX recovery or used as a high-octane component of a gasoline blending pool.
138 Production of high-octane, unleaded motor fuel US3787313D 1972-11-21 US3787313A 1974-01-22 POLLITZER E
A naphtha boiling range charge stock is converted into a motor fuel which does not necessitate the incorporation of metalcontaining additives otherwise required for suitable anti-knock characteristics. The process involves a combination of hydrocracking and catalytic reforming, and is effected in a manner which significantly decreases the quantity of methane and ethane produced. The novel form of hydrocracking results in a product predominantly comprising naphthenic hydrocarbons and highly branched paraffins, the latter being predominantly isobutane. Following separation to recover the isobutane, catalytic reforming is utilized to dehydrogenate the naphthenic compounds to produce an aromatic concentrate.
