Abstract
The application pertains to an alternating hydroprocessing process comprising reacting a lipid or a mixture of lipid and petroleum feedstock with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst in a vessel under conditions suitable to form a renewable hydrocarbonaceous product. The formed renewable product is removed from the vessel. A petroleum feedstock is then reacted with hydrogen in the presence of the catalyst in the vessel under conditions suitable to form a hydrocracked fossil product.
Claims20
An alternating hydroprocessing process comprising:
- reacting a lipid with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst in a vessel under conditions suitable to form a renewable hydrocarbonaceous product;
- and
- removing the formed renewable product from the vessel;
- and
- reacting a petroleum feedstock with hydrogen in the presence of the catalyst in the vessel under conditions suitable to form a hydrocracked product.
A system comprising a reactor, a catalyst, a lipid feed, a petroleum feedstock feed, a hydrogen feed, a catalyst, and process control equipment to provide alternating conditions suitable to form a renewable product and a hydrocracked fossil product.
