The present invention relates to a process for the production of high quality synthesis gas rich in hydrogen during the process of upgrading the residual hydrocarbon oil feedstock by rejuvenating the spent upgrading material in Reformer in absence of air/oxygen without supplying external heat source other than the heat generated inside the process during combustion of residual coke deposited on the upgrading material. The present invention further relates to the apparatus used for preparation of syngas wherein said syngas thus produced is used for production of hydrogen gas. Furthermore, the present invention also provides system and method for preparing pure hydrogen from syngas.

The invention provides an improved system for separation technology intended to reduce unwanted catalyst/thermal reactions by minimizing contact of the hydrocarbons and the catalyst within the reactor.

A rotary bladed apparatus (100) for processing feedstocks in a process fluid is provided, said apparatus comprises means for adjusting position of a working blade cascade of the rotor (3) relative to stator components (2, 4) in a longitudinal direction of a rotor shaft (1). Adjustment is performed through axial displacement of the rotor (3) or, alternatively, through axial displacement of the reactor housing (22 A, 32A). A method for improving process efficiency and for regulating flow losses during processing of feedstocks in a process fluid, in particular, in off-design conditions in the bladed apparatus (100) is further provided. In embodiments, processing of feedstocks includes thermal- or thermochemical cracking of hydrocarbon-containing feedstock.

Processes and systems for upgrading natural gas liquids. At least a portion of the natural gas liquid components in a shale gas stream can be dehydrogenated to their corresponding olefin derivatives prior to separating any methane from the liquids. Further processing subsequent to dehydrogenation could include various separations, oligomerizing olefins produced in the dehydrogenation step, recovering desired products, etc. The order of the processing steps subsequent to dehydrogenation could be adjusted in various cases.
