Abstract
A method for obtaining a petroleum distillate product is provided, the method includes subjecting an untreated light Fischer-Tropsch liquid to a two-step hydrogenation process, each step to be carried in the presence of a catalyst comprising an amorphous substrate having a metallic composition embedded therein. After the first step of hydrogenation, an intermediate hydrotreated light Fischer-Tropsch liquid is obtained, followed by the second step of hydrogenation thereof, obtaining the petroleum distillate product as a result. An apparatus for carrying out the method is also provided.
Claims4
A system for obtaining a petroleum distillate product, the system comprising:
- (a) a first hydrogenating unit that subjects an untreated light Fischer-Tropsch liquid to a first hydrogenation and yields a hydrotreated light Fischer-Tropsch liquid composite;
- and
- (b) a second hydrogenating unit that subjects the hydrotreated light Fischer-Tropsch liquid composite to a second hydrogenation to isomerizes and crack the hydrotreated light Fischer-Tropsch liquid by a reaction with a catalyst comprising a zeolite substrate having a metallic composition embedded therein and yields the petroleum distillate product.
