Abstract
One exemplary embodiment can be a process for hydrocarbon conversion. The process can include providing a feed to a slurry hydrocracking zone, obtaining a hydrocarbon stream including one or more C16-C45 hydrocarbons from the at least one separator, providing another feed to a hydrocracking zone, and providing hydrogen from a three-stage compressor to the slurry hydrocracking zone and the hydrocracking zone. Moreover, the slurry hydrocracking zone may include a slurry hydrocracking reactor and at least one separator.
Claims20
A process for hydrocarbon conversion, comprising:
- A) providing a feed to a slurry hydrocracking zone, wherein the slurry hydrocracking zone comprises:
- 1) a slurry hydrocracking reactor;
- and
- 2) at least one separator;
- B) obtaining a hydrocarbon stream comprising one or more C16-C45 hydrocarbons from the at least one separator;
- C) providing another feed to a hydrocracking zone;
- and
- D) providing hydrogen from a three-stage compressor to the slurry hydrocracking zone and the hydrocracking zone.
A process for hydrogen distribution for an apparatus, comprising:
- A) providing a three-stage compressor comprising a first stage, a second stage, and a third stage;
- B) providing hydrogen from the first stage to at least one of a naphtha hydrotreating zone and an isomerization zone;
- C) providing hydrogen from the second stage to a hydrotreating zone;
- and
- D) providing hydrogen from the third stage to at least one of a slurry hydrocracking zone and a hydrocracking zone.
A process for hydrogen distribution for an apparatus, comprising:
- A) providing a three-stage compressor comprising a first stage, a second stage, and a third stage;
- B) providing hydrogen from the first stage to at least one of a naphtha hydrotreating zone and an isomerization zone;
- C) providing hydrogen from the second stage to a hydrotreating zone, wherein the hydrotreating zone comprises:
- 1) a hydrotreating reactor;
- 2) a hot separator;
- 3) a cold separator;
- and
- 4) a recycle gas compressor;
- wherein hydrogen is recycled from the cold separator to the hydrotreating reactor;
- D) providing hydrogen from the third stage to a slurry hydrocracking zone;
- wherein the slurry hydrocracking zone comprises:
- 1) a slurry hydrocracking reactor;
- 2) a hot separator;
- 3) a warm separator;
- 4) a cold separator;
- and
- 5) a recycle gas compressor, wherein hydrogen is recycled from the slurry hydrocracking zone cold separator to the slurry hydrocracking reactor;
- and
- E) providing hydrogen from the third stage to a hydrocracking zone, wherein the hydrocracking zone comprises a hydrocracking reactor, a hot separator, a cold separator, a hot flash drum, and a cold flash drum.
