Two stage hydroprocessing reaction scheme w/series recycle gas flow.

摘要

Hydrocarbon feedstocks are hydroprocessed in parallel reactors, while hydrogen flows in series between the reactors. A first hydrocarbon feedstock and a hydrogen-rich recycle gas stream are introduced to a first reactor, where a first reactor effluent stream is produced and fed to a first separator, which separates the first reactor effluent stream into a first hydrogen-rich gas stream and a first hydroprocessed product stream. The first hydrogen-rich gas stream and a second hydrocarbon feedstock are fed to a second reactor, where a second reactor effluent stream is produced and fed to a second separator, which separates the second reactor effluent stream into a second hydrogen-rich gas stream and a second hydroprocessed product stream. A make-up hydrogen stream is added to the second hydrogen-rich gas to form the hydrogen-rich recycle gas stream that is compressed and fed to the first reactor. IMAGE
