Abstract
A triglyceride or a triglyceride/hydrocarbon combination can be heated to produce thermally treated feeds. The thermally treated feeds can then be contacted with a hydrotreating catalyst in a reaction zone.
Claims88
A process comprising:
- passing a feed comprising a hydrocarbon boiling in the temperature range of from about 25° C. to about 760° C. and a triglyceride through a heating zone,
- wherein the temperature in said heating zone is in the range of from about 40° C. to about 540° C.
A process comprising:
- a) passing a feed comprising a hydrocarbon boiling in the temperature range of from about 25° C. to about 760° C. and a triglyceride through a heating zone, wherein the temperature in said heating zone is in the range of from about 40° C. to about 540° C. to form a thermally treated feed;
- and
- b) contacting said thermally treated feed with a hydrotreating catalyst in a reaction zone under a condition sufficient to produce a reaction product containing diesel boiling range hydrocarbons, wherein the condition includes a pressure of less than about 2000 psig and a temperature in the range of from about 260° C. to about 430° C.
A process comprising:
- contacting a feed comprising a hydrocarbon boiling in the temperature range of from about 25° C. to about 760° C. and a triglyceride with a co-feed gas in a heating zone, wherein the temperature in said heating zone is in the range of from about 40° C. to about 540° C.
A process comprising:
- a) contacting a feed comprising a hydrocarbon boiling in the temperature range of from about 25° C. to about 760° C. and a triglyceride with a co-feed gas in a heating zone, wherein the temperature in said heating zone is in the range of from about 40° C. to about 540° C. to form a thermally treated feed;
- and
- b) contacting said thermally treated feed with a hydrotreating catalyst in a reaction zone under a condition sufficient to produce a reaction product containing diesel boiling range hydrocarbons, wherein the condition includes a pressure of less than about 2000 psig and a temperature in the range of from about 260° C. to about 430° C.
A process comprising heating a triglyceride in a heating zone wherein the temperature in said heating zone is in the range of from about 100° C. to about 540° C.
A process comprising:
- a) heating a triglyceride in a heating zone wherein the temperature in said heating zone is in the range of from about 100° C. to about 540° C. to form a thermally treated feed;
- and
- b) contacting said thermally treated feed with a hydrotreating catalyst in a reaction zone under a condition sufficient to produce a reaction product containing diesel boiling range hydrocarbons, wherein the condition includes a pressure of less than about 2000 psig and a temperature in the range of from about 260° C. to about 430° C.
