2-Parallel Residual Hydrotreater
The ability to upgrade heavy residual products can significantly improve refiners margins. For this reason, there is a great deal of interest in this topic at the moment
2-Parallel Residual Hydrotreater
The task
Designing, constructing and chemically validating a 2-parallel x 250ml high-pressure (200 Bar) high-temperature (550°C) heavy-oil hydrocracker.
The unit had to be designed to fit into an extremely small laboratory space. An inert glovebox had to be seamlessly incorporated with the 4 batch reactors to insure that the air and moisture sensitive catalysts and co-catalysts were never oxidized.
The ILS solution
A unit which is unique in its ability to do high-pressure liquid sampling during reaction.
Seamless integration of a high-temperature on-line GC makes continuous analysis of up to C10 products possible. The same GC has an exchangeable liquid-autosampler, which can be used for more detailed liquid analysis of products formed via SimDist or a more-detailed liquid PIANO analysis.
The result
A fully-automated unit which was chemically validated using real chemicals in the ILS laboratory prior to delivery.
