Processes for the hydrogenolysis of butane are described. A process can include (a) introducing a butane feed and hydrogen to a first hydrogenolysis reactor comprising a hydrogenolysis catalyst, and (b) contacting the butane feed and hydrogen with the hydrogenolysis catalyst at conditions sufficient to produce a first hydrogenolysis product stream. The introduction of the butane feed stream and hydrogen to the first hydrogenolysis reactor can be controlled to maintain a hydrogen to butane molar ratio in the reactor inlet of 0.3:1 to 0.8:1.

Methods of butane hydrogenolysis under hydrogen-lean conditions

The present invention relates to a process for producing LPG and BTX from a mixed feedstream comprising C5-C12 hydrocarbons by contacting said feedstream in the presence of hydrogen with a first hydrocracking catalyst and contacting the thus obtained first hydrocracked product in the presence of hydrogen with a second hydrocracking catalyst to produce a second hydrocracked product stream comprising LPG and BTX.

Process for producing LPG and BTX from mixed hydrocarbons feed

The present invention relates to a process for combined hydrodesulfurization and hydrocracking of a heavy hydrocarbon feed comprising contacting the hydrocarbon feed in the presence of hydrogen with a catalyst comprising a mixture of a solid acid catalyst and a hydrodesulfurization catalyst.

Process for combined hydrodesulfurization and hydrocracking of heavy hydrocarbons

The present invention relates to a process for producing monoaromatic hydrocarbons from a hydrocarbon feed comprising polyaromatics, the process comprising contacting the feed at process conditions with a catalyst comprising a mixture of zeolite Y and a hydrogenation catalyst comprising one or more hydrogenation metals on a solid catalyst support.

Process for producing monoaromatic hydrocarbons from a hydrocarbon feed comprising polyaromatics

The present invention relates to a process for producing monoaromatic hydrocarbons from a hydrocarbon feed comprising polyaromatics, the process comprising contacting said feed in the presence of hydrogen with a M/zeolite catalyst under hydrocracking process conditions.

Process for producing aromatics from a heavy hydrocarbon feed

A process comprising contacting said feed in the presence of hydrogen with a M/zeolite catalyst under hydrocracking process conditions.

Process for producing LPG from a heavy hydrocarbon feed

The invention relates to a process for hydrocracking a feedstream comprising hydrocarbons to obtain BTX in a gas phase hydrocracking reactor system which comprises (i) an upstream end and a downstream end, (ii) a plurality of successive reaction zones distributed along the reactor between the upstream end and the downstream end, wherein each of the reaction zones has a bed of a hydrocracking catalyst contained therein and (iii) a plurality of quench zones, the quench zones being distributed along the reactor and each being situated between successive reaction zones, wherein the process comprises: (a) injecting a first portion of a hydrogen gas into the upstream end and a first portion of a hydrocarbon gas into the upstream end and (b) injecting a second portion of the hydrogen gas into at least one of the quench zones and injecting a second portion of the hydrocarbon gas into at least one of the quench zones, wherein the molar ratio between hydrogen and hydrocarbons entering each of the reaction zones is 1:1 to 4:1, wherein the molar ratio between hydrogen and hydrocarbons entering the reaction zones decreases with the distance of the reaction zone from the upstream end of the reactor.
