According to one or more other aspects of the present disclosure, a system for reforming a liquid hydrocarbon fuel includes a mixing zone with a fuel intake fluidly coupled to a liquid hydrocarbon fuel source and an oxygen-containing gas intake fluidly coupled to an oxygen-containing gas source. The mixing zone further includes at least one atomizing nozzle and a fuel distribution zone downstream the at least on atomizing nozzle. The system also includes a catalyst reaction zone downstream the mixing zone, including a monolith block having a plurality of flow channels defined by monolith walls and a reforming catalyst coated onto the monolith walls. The atomizing nozzle generates a plurality of droplets comprising the liquid hydrocarbon fuel suspended in oxygen-containing gas. The fuel distribution zone distributes the plurality of droplets to each of the plurality of flow channels to contact the reforming catalyst including N-hydroxyphthalimide.

Processes for partially deoxygenating a biomass-derived pyrolysis oil to produce a fuel for a burner are disclosed. A biomass-derived pyrolysis oil stream is combined with a low recycle stream that is a portion of a deoxygenated effluent to form a heated diluted py-oil feed stream, which is contacted with a first deoxygenating catalyst in the presence of hydrogen at first hydroprocessing conditions effective to form the effluent stream. The effluent may be separated and used to provide a product fuel stream for a burner.

Systems for reforming a hydrocarbon feedstock, where the system is operable to selectively reform different sub-components of the hydrocarbon feedstock using at least two structurally-distinct reforming catalysts. Advantages may include a decreased rate of reforming catalyst deactivation and an increased yield of a liquid hydrocarbon reformate product that is characterized by at least one of an increased octane rating and a decreased vapor pressure compared to the liquid hydrocarbon reformate product of conventional one-step reforming systems.

A method for producing a low-viscosity high-aromatic non-carcinogenic petroleum-based process oil which can be used as a plasticizer oil or an extender oil in the manufacture of synthetic rubber and tyres is described. The oil is obtained from by-product fractions of secondary petrochemical processes by fractional distillation, wherein the used by-product fractions of secondary petrochemical processes are products of catalytic cracking, or products of catalytic reforming, or aromatic extracts, or mixtures thereof, which have an initial boiling point of no less than 200? C. and above and a final boiling point of no less than 360? C. at atmospheric pressure, and contain no less than 85% of aromatic constituents and no more than 10.0 mg/kg of the sum of the following polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: benz[a]anthracene; chrysene; benzo[b]fluoranthene; benzo[i]fluoranthene; benzo[k]fluoranthene; benzo[e]pyrene; benzo[a]pyrene; and dibenzo[a,h]anthracene.
