This invention relates to a process for treatment of a gasoline that comprises diolefins, olefins and sulfur-containing compounds including mercaptans, consisting of a stage for treatment of the gasoline in a distillation column (2) comprising at least one reaction zone (3) including at least one catalyst that makes it possible to carry out the addition of mercaptans to the olefins that are contained in the gasoline that distills toward the top of the catalytic column.

The present invention relates to a saturator. The present invention further relates to a method for reusing a waste water stream from a Fischer-Tropsch reactor. The invention further relates to system for recycling waste water from a Fischer-Tropsch reactor preferably within a gas-to-liquids (GTL) plant.

A catalytic reactor comprises a filter unit which extracts and collects particles from the fluid flow stream above the reactor internals, the filter unit comprises elements which are safely, easily and quickly handled without the need for tools.

The invention provides a process for the production of aviation turbine fuel. The process includes the steps of oligomerizing light olefins derived from a high temperature Fisher-Tropsch process over a zeolite catalyst selected from a ZSM-5 (Zeolyst Int., SiO2/A12O330)(COD-9) at pressures of 50 bar with the temperature ranging from 150 to 310 C., distilling from a gasoline fraction of the oligomerisation product, a fraction boiling below 150 C., hydrogenating the distilled oligomerisation fraction over a hydrogenation catalyst, distilling from the hydrogenated hydrocarbon product, fractionating the hydrogenation distillate fraction over a fractionation catalyst and distilling the fractionation hydrocarbon product to produce an aviation turbine fuel (ASH1925) able to meet the requirements as set out for a Synthetic ISO-Paraffinic Kerosene (SPK) as per ASTM D 7566-14a.

A process for reducing the sulfur content of a hydrocarbon stream is disclosed. A full range cracked naphtha is contacted with a hydrogenation catalyst to convert at least a portion of the dienes and mercaptans to thioethers and to hydrogenate at least a portion of the dienes. The full range cracked naphtha is fractionated into a light naphtha fraction, a medium naphtha fraction, and a heavy naphtha fraction. The heavy naphtha fraction is hydrodesulfurized. The medium naphtha fraction is mixed with hydrogen and gas oil to form a mixture, which is contacted with a hydrodesulfurization catalyst to produce a medium naphtha fraction having a reduced sulfur concentration. The light, heavy, and medium naphtha fractions may then be recombined to form a hydrodesulfurized product having a sulfur content of less than 10 ppm in some embodiments.

A method providing for the selective hydroprocessing of cracked naphtha feedstock to make blending components for low-sulfur gasoline and either ultra-low sulfur diesel or ultra-low sulfur jet fuel. The method includes the use of two catalytic distillation stages in combination with three stripping columns and two fixed-bed reactors integrated in a novel arrangement so as to provide for the treatment of cracked naphtha feedstock that has a high sulfur concentration to yield exceptionally low-sulfur light cracked naphtha and heavy cracked naphtha products and low-sulfur diesel or jet fuel. The desulfurized light and heavy cracked naphtha are produced with a minimal amount of hydrogenation of the olefin content and may suitably be used as gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel blending components.

This invention relates to a method for reducing the content of sulfide-type compounds of formula R1-SR2, with R1 and R2 selected from among the methyl (CH.sub.3) and ethyl (C.sub.2H.sub.5) radicals, of a gasoline that contains diolefins, monoolefins, and sulfur. The method implements a first catalytic step for selective hydrogenation of diolefins at a temperature of between 60 C. and 150 C. and then a step for heating the effluent that is obtained from the first step with a temperature difference T of between 10 C. and 100 C. and a second catalytic step on the effluent that is heated in such a way as to produce an effluent that has a content of sulfide-type compounds of formula R1-SR2, with R1 and R2 selected from among the methyl (CH3) and ethyl (C2H5) radicals, lower than that of the starting gasoline.
