Study Notes
Catalytic Processes in Petroleum Refining
- Pt or Pd supported on shape-selective zeolites, such as Faujasite, Modernite, and ZSM-5, are commonly used as catalysts for producing gasoline from S and N-free feeds.
- Injection of cold high pressure H2 between the fixed bed reactors in the hydrocracking process is to cool the product stream.
- Pt or Pt-Re supported on g-Al2O3 with a BET area of 200 m2/g is typically used as a catalyst for naphtha reforming.
- Hydrocracking is a process that combines cracking and hydrogenation to selectively crack polyaromatics to gasoline, diesel fuel, and jet fuel.
- The high pressure of hydrogen (80 - 200 atm) in hydrocracking causes high consumption of hydrogen and energy.
- Hydrocracking is typically processed in the temperature range of 290 - 525 °C.
- The presence of acid sites and metal sites in the catalyst helps in enhancing the selectivity of the reforming reactions.
- The main purposes of hydrocracking and catalytic reforming are to reduce the sulfur content in the feedstock and to convert heavy hydrocarbons into lighter, more valuable products such as gasoline.
- To minimize the formation of light gases and maximize the production of gasoline, suitable desulfurization and denitrification processes need to be implemented.
- The base metal oxides of Co, Mo, Ni or W are commonly used as catalysts for producing lubricants, diesel, and middle or heavy distillates.
- The primary purpose of naphtha reforming is to increase the octane number of the naphtha cut.
- The typical catalyst used for naphtha reforming is Pt or Pt-Re supported on g-Al2O3.
Refinery Processes and Catalysts
- Hydrocracking is more selective in cracking polyaromatics compared to FCC
- Hydrocracking can be designed to crack polyaromatics selectively to gasoline, diesel fuel, or jet fuel
- High pressure in hydrocracking causes high consumption of H2 and energy
- Catalysts typically used for producing lubricants, diesel, and middle or heavy distillates are base metal oxides of Co, Mo, Ni, or W supported on acid-treated Al2O3, Al2O3-SiO2, or a zeolite
- Dual stage fixed bed reactors for hydrocracking operate at a temperature range of 375 - 425 °C
- Naphtha reforming's primary purpose is to increase the octane number of naphtha
- The typical catalyst used for naphtha reforming is Pt or Pt-Re supported on g-Al2O3
- High amounts of metals can deactivate hydrocracking catalysts
- Quinoline inhibits the catalytic reaction in hydrocracking, leading to decreased activity
- Re is added to the Pt-Re/Al2O3 catalyst to enhance its selectivity in the reforming process
- Section 4 of the Masters in Energy course discusses hydrocracking and catalytic reforming as important refinery processes
- The primary advantage of hydrocracking over fluid catalytic cracking is its ability to selectively crack polyaromatics to produce gasoline, diesel fuel, or jet fuel
