METHOD FOR PRODUCING ANODE GRADE COKE FROM CRUDE OILS
The present invention provides a method for production of anode grade coke by processing crude oil feed stock in a DCU. The method comprising separation of low boiling light molecular weight components from heavier molecules and processing the same in Delayed Coker Unit after mixing with aromatic rich stream to overcome the operational issue envisaged due to processing of paraffin containing crude feed. The coke so obtained was calcined to produce an improved quality coke having lesser impurities (Sulfur <3 wt %) and better crystallinity.
METHOD OF REFINERY PROCESSING OF RENEWABLE NAPHTHA
This application relates to renewable diesel production and to production of renewable naphtha in a renewable diesel unit. Disclosed herein is an example of a method of renewable diesel production. Examples embodiments of the method may include hydrotreating the biofeedstock by reaction with hydrogen to form a hydrotreated biofeedstock; contacting at least a portion of the hydrotreated biofeedstock with a dewaxing catalyst to produce a renewable diesel product and a renewable naphtha product; separating the renewable diesel product and the renewable naphtha product in a product splitter; and monitoring an octane number of the renewable naphtha product with an analyzer.
HYDROCRACKING PROCESS FOR MAXIMIZATION OF NAPHTHA
A hydrocracking process for maximization of naphtha while producing base oil is disclosed. The hydrocracking process comprises hydrocracking a hydrocarbon feed stream in a hydrocracking unit in the presence of a hydrogen stream and a hydrocracking catalyst to produce a hydrocracked effluent stream. The hydrocracked effluent stream is separated in a separator to provide a vapor hydrocracked stream and a liquid hydrocracked stream. The liquid hydrocracked stream is fractionated to provide a naphtha stream, a kerosene stream, a diesel stream and a first unconverted oil stream. A recycle stream comprising a portion of the kerosene stream, a portion of the diesel stream, and a portion of the first unconverted oil stream is recycled to the hydrocracking unit to provide a second unconverted oil stream. A remaining portion of the first unconverted oil stream is withdrawn for base oil production.
WASTE RECOVERING SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF
The present invention relates to automated waste recovering system and method which is not limited to a specific type of waste only. The system comprises a reactor for pyrolysis, a condensing unit connected to a water-cooled chiller to obtain liquid phase products and non-condensable gas, a gas treatment unit, a series of gas filtration unit to obtain clean gas, a storage and a control unit. The system also comprises a gas mixer unit to mix the non-condensable gas with hydrogen to obtain hydrocarbon rich gas, an artificial fuel condensing unit for condensing the hydrocarbon rich gas to obtain artificial fuel and water, which subsequently separated in a phase separator unit. The present invention provides a means to achieve constant yield by controlling conditions in the reactor and further increase the yield by producing artificial fuel.

Circular economy for plastic waste to polyethylene and lubricating oil via crude and isomerization dewaxing units
Provided is a continuous process for converting waste plastic into recycle for polyethylene polymerization. In one embodiment, the process comprises selecting waste plastics containing polyethylene and/or polypropylene and passing the waste plastics through a pyrolysis reactor to thermally crack at least a portion of the polyolefin waste and produce a pyrolyzed effluent. The pyrolyzed effluent is separated into offgas, a naphtha/diesel fraction, a heavy fraction, and char. The naphtha/diesel fraction is passed to a crude unit distillation column in a refinery where a straight run naphtha (C.sub.5-C.sub.8) fraction or a propane/butane (C.sub.3-C.sub.4) fraction is recovered. The straight run naphtha fraction (C.sub.5-C.sub.8) or the propane/butane (C.sub.3-C.sub.4) fraction is passed to a steam cracker for ethylene production. The heavy fraction from the pyrolysis unit can also be passed to an isomerization dewaxing unit to produce a base oil.
Co-processing of biomass oil in coker
Systems and methods are provided for co-processing of biomass oil with mineral coker feeds in a coking environment. The coking can correspond to any convenient type of coking, such as delayed coking or fluidized coking. The biomass oil can correspond to biomass oil with a molar ratio of oxygen to carbon of 0.24 or less on a dry basis. Such types of biomass oil can be formed from pyrolysis methods such as hydrothermal pyrolysis, and are in contrast to biomass oils formed from pyrolysis methods such as fast pyrolysis. By using a biomass oil with a molar ratio of oxygen to carbon of 0.24 or less, improved yields of light coker gas oil can be achieved in conjunction with a reduction in the yield of heavy coker gas oil.
HYDROPROCESSING OF HEAVY CRUDES BY CATALYSTS IN HOMOGENEOUS PHASE
This disclosure relates to a procedure, which through the application of a catalyst in homogeneous phase, allows the transformation of heavy hydrocarbons (vacuum residue, atmospheric residue, heavy and extra-heavy crudes) into hydrocarbons of lower molecular weight, characterized because after its application, the hydrocarbons obtain greater API gravity, lower kinematic viscosity and different composition by hydrocarbon families (SARA) that increases the proportion of saturated and aromatic resins and asphalts. The sulphur and nitrogen content is also reduced, resulting in higher yields to high commercial value distillates and a lighter product as compared to the original crude.
