A process is disclosed for converting distillate to gasoline-range hydrocarbons using a two-stage catalyst system including a first catalyst containing a Group VIII metal and a zeolite, and a second catalyst containing a Group VIII metal, tin and an inorganic oxide support.

Process for upgrading kerosene to gasoline by ring contraction&#x2014;ring opening&#x2014;dehydrogenation

A process is disclosed for converting distillate to gasoline-range hydrocarbons using a two-stage catalyst system including a first catalyst containing platinum, palladium, or platinum and palladium, and an acidic support, and a second catalyst containing iridium and an inorganic oxide support, and optionally nickel.

Distillate-to-gasoline catalyst system and process therefor

A method and apparatus for removing sulfur from a hydrocarbon-containing fluid stream wherein desulfurization is enhanced by improving the contacting of the hydrocarbon-containing fluid stream and sulfur-sorbing solid particulates in a fluidized bed reactor.

Desulfurization system with enhanced fluid/solids contacting

Desulfurization in turbulent fluid bed reactor

A system for enhancing fluid/solids contacting in a fluidization reactor by controlling the particle size distribution of the solid particulates in the reactor.

Enhanced fluid/solids contacting in a fluidization reactor

A method to rapidly characterize the hydrocarbon chemistry of heavy residual petroleum mixtures uses three model equations for predicting aromatic carbon content, aromatic hydrogen content and total hydrogen content of the heavy residual oil. The predictive equations are based on three easily measured bulk properties including refractive index, specific gravity and the Watson K factor.

Method for characterizing residual crude oil and petroleum fractions

A predictive kinetic model is disclosed for simulating fluid catalytic cracking of large hydrocarbon molecules having a lumping scheme that includes hydrocarbon descriptions based on boiling point distribution and chemical properties. The simulation results in a nearly continuous prediction of products as function of boiling point temperature. The lumping scheme defines a relatively large number of small fixed boiling-point range pseudo-components for describing product material, and a smaller number of larger boiling-point range pseudo-components for describing feed conversion and selectivity. The chemical properties for describing hydrocarbons include total hydrogen, aromatic carbon and aromatic hydrogen.

Riser reactor simulation in catalytic cracking

A kinetic model for a catalytic cracking riser reactor is stored in a computer for simulating a hydrocarbon cracking reaction. The stored model describes a reactants, an intermediate, and a product species, which are lumped according to boiling range. Reaction rate constants for cracking the individual components of the lumping scheme are functions of a statistical technique known as 'principal components,' which are in turn linear combinations of bulk properties characterizing both catalyst and oil and are based on historical operating data for the riser reaction.

Modeling and simulation of catalytic cracking

A Fischer-Tropsch catalyst is prepared using a solvated metal atom technique. The thus formed catalyst is active for the conversion of carbon monoxide and hydrogen to hydrocarbons though it contains less than about 5% metal by weight of the catalyst.
