Abstract
A process of reforming a diesel feedstock to convert diesel to a gasoline blending component may include desulfurizing and denitrogenizing the diesel feedstock to reduce the sulfur and nitrogen content; and then hydrocracking the diesel feedstock over a metal containing zeolitic catalyst to produce an isomerate fraction. The diesel feedstock may have boiling points ranging from 200 to 360° C.
Claims17
A process of reforming a diesel feedstock to convert diesel to a gasoline blending component, comprising:
- desulfurizing and denitrogenizing the diesel feedstock to reduce a sulfur and nitrogen content, wherein the diesel feedstock consists of diesel oil that boils in a range from about 180 to 375° C.;
- hydrocracking the diesel feedstock over a metal containing zeolitic catalyst, thereby fully converting the diesel oil to the gasoline blending component.
A process of reforming a diesel feedstock to convert diesel to a gasoline blending component, comprising:
- desulfurizing and denitrogenizing the diesel feedstock to reduce a sulfur and nitrogen content, wherein a sulfur content of the diesel feedstock is reduced to less than 500 ppmw in the desulfurizing step;
- hydrocracking the diesel feedstock over a metal containing zeolitic catalyst, thereby fully converting the diesel feedstock to the gasoline blending component.
A process of reforming a diesel feedstock to convert diesel to a gasoline blending component, comprising:
- hydrocracking the diesel feedstock over a metal containing catalyst, the diesel feedstock having boiling points ranging from 180 to 375° C. to fully convert the diesel feedstock to produce an isomerate fraction as the gasoline blending component,
- wherein the isomerate fraction comprises greater than 50 W % iso-paraffins.
