Abstract

This patent describes a process for simultaneously upgrading and dedusting liquid hydrocarbon feedstocks. It comprises injecting dust particulate-containing raw retort effluent product stream from a feed line into a catalytic hydrotreater capable of agitating the product stream during hydrotreatment; agitating the product stream with a hydrotreating gas upstream of the hydrotreater to substantially prevent settling of particulate matter in the feed line; agglomerating the particulates to enhance solid-liquid separation and removing at least 90% of sulfur and nitrogen contaminants to produce synthetic crude oil by hydrotreating the product stream in the presence of a hydroprocessing catalyst at a temperature of from about 760{degrees} to about 825{degrees}F, under a hydroprocessing gas pressure of from about 1500 to about 2500 psi and at a space velocity of from about 0.1 to about 6.0 hr{sup -1}; and substantially separating the agglomerated particulates from the hydrotreated oil.

Polar solvent extraction and dedusting process

Patent Taylor, J

A process is provided to produce and dedust oil from oil shale and other types of solid hydrocarbon-containing material. In the process, raw oil shale or other solid hydrocarbon-containing material is retorted, preferably with solid heat carrier material, to liberate an effluent product stream of hydrocarbons containing entrained particulates of dust derived from the oil shale or other solid hydrocarbon-containing material. A fraction of oil containing most of the dust is separated from the effluent product stream and fed to one or more dedusters. The dust-laden oil is dissolved in a special dedusting solvent which contains both polar and non-polarmore »« less
Hydrocarbon Liquid Production via Catalytic Hydroprocessing of Phenolic Oils Fractionated from Fast Pyrolysis of Red Oak and Corn Stover

Journal Article Elliott, Douglas; Wang, Huamin; Rover, Majorie; ... - ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering

Phenolic oils were produced from fast pyrolysis of two different biomass feedstocks, red oak and corn stover and evaluated in hydroprocessing tests for production of liquid hydrocarbon products. The phenolic oils were produced with a bio-oil fractionating process in combination with a simple water wash of the heavy ends from the fractionating process. Phenolic oils derived from the pyrolysis of red oak and corn stover were recovered with yields (wet biomass basis) of 28.7 wt% and 14.9 wt%, respectively, and 54.3% and 58.6% on a carbon basis. Both precious metal catalysts and sulfided base metal catalyst were evaluated for hydrotreatingmore »« less

Syncrude dedusting extraction

Patent Hargreaves, J; Taylor, J

This patent describes a method for dedusting synthetic oil. It comprises: substantially dissolving a feed comprising a dust-laden synthetic oil selected from the group consisting of shale oil, tar sands oil and tar sands bitumen in a non-polar solvent comprising at least one alkane containing from 4 to 7 carbon atoms and forming aggregates comprising dust material; and gravitationally separating the dissolved dust-laden synthetic oil into a substantially dedusted stream and a dust-enriched stream comprising aggregates. The aggregates provide acceptable settling and sludge compression rates; the dissolution and gravitational separation steps are conducted at a temperature and pressure greater thanmore »« less
Shale oil stabilization with a hydroprocessor

Patent York, E; Johnson, D; Miller, P

A process is provided to produce, stabilize, dedust and upgrade synthetic oil, such as shale oil. In the process, synthetic fuels, such as oil shale, tar sands and diatomite are retorted with heat carrier material to liberate an effluent product stream comprising hydrocarbons and entrained particulates of dust. In order to minimize polymerization of the product stream and agglomerate the dust, the product stream is stabilized, upgraded, and pretreated prior to dedusting, in a hydroprocessor, such as an ebullated bed reactor, with a hydroprocessing gas in the presence of a catalyst. The hydroprocessing gas can be hydrogen, scrubbed fractionator gases,more »« less
Centrifugal drying and dedusting process

Patent Thacker, M; Miller, P

A centrifugal drying and dedusting process is provided to dedust heavy oil derived from solid hydrocarbon-containing material such as oil shale, coal or tar sand. In the process, heavy oil laden with particulates derived from the solid hydrocarbon-containing material is centrifuged into a dedusted stream of heavy oil and a dust laden centrifuge sludge. The dedusted stream of oil can be further dedusted in a desalter, after being first mixed with fresh water, to form a purified, highly dedusted, effluent stream of heavy oil. Dust laden water from the desalter is centrifuged into a dedusted stream of water and amore »« less
