Process for the removal of coloured compounds in a hydrocarbon feedstock comprising the steps of hydrotreating the feedstock in presence of a first hydrotreating catalyst under conditions being effective in hydrogenation of hydrogenable compounds being present in the feedstock and hydrotreating an effluent from the first hydrotreating step in a second catalytic hydrotreating step being carried out in a second hydrotreating reactor at hydrotreating conditions, wherein the effluent from the first hydrotreating step is separated into a gas phase and a mixed gas and liquid phase prior to the second hydrotreating step, and the mixed phase is hydrotreated in the second hydrotreating step without further addition of hydrogen.

Hydrotreating process

A process for hydroprocessing a hydrocarbon feed. The hydrocarbon feed is first admixed with a hydrogen rich gas. The resultant process stream is then contacted with a hydrocracking catalyst. The resultant catalyst effluent process stream is separated into a gas phase stream and a liquid phase stream, and the gas phase stream is withdrawn. The liquid phase stream is admixed with a hydrogen rich gas, and the resultant process stream is contacted with a hydrocracking catalyst. The resultant catalyst effluent process stream is withdrawn and admixed with the previously obtained gas phase stream, and the resultant process stream is withdrawn.

Hydroprocessing process and method of retrofitting existing hydroprocessing reactors

A distributor for supplying a mixed phase flow of gas-liquid feed uniformly on the surface of a trickle-bed of solid particles, including a tray horizontally arranged above the surface of the trickle-bed. The tray is equipped with a plurality of open-ended tubular distributor downcomers of a predetermined tube diameter and extend vertically for a certain height above and below the tray. The downcomers are adapted to provide passage for liquid flow through horizontal aperture in the tube wall of the downcomers and to provide passage for gas flow through the open ends of the downcomers. The apertures are disposed in the tube walls at various elevations above the tray with a predetermined minimum elevation for maintaining a liquid level on the tray.
