Title: Innovations by Thierry J Barbou Des Courieres

Introduction

Thierry J Barbou Des Courieres is a notable inventor based in Lyon, France. He has made significant contributions to the field of hydrocarbon processing, holding 2 patents that focus on improving methods for treating hydrocarbon-based charges. His work is essential for enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of hydrocarbon processing.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is a method for hydroprocessing hydrocarbon-based charges. This invention relates to a method of hydrotreating hydrocarbon-based charges by using a catalyst that comprises V₂S₃ prepared in situ in the reaction zone or V₂S₃ prepared outside this zone but treated in this zone by a sulphurating agent. The hydrotreating method can be used to treat various hydrocarbon-based charges such as gasoline, gasoil, refinery residues, and heavy crude oils. This method allows for the elimination of impurities such as nitrogen, sulphur, and metals. Additionally, it can hydrogenize olefins and aromatics, potentially leading to the rupture of carbon-carbon bonds.

Another significant patent by Des Courieres is a process for the thermal treatment of hydrocarbon charges in the presence of additives that prevent coke formation. This invention concerns a process for treating hydrocarbon charges with a high content of asphaltenes using additives that are salts of metals such as V, Mo, Cr, W, Fe, Co, and Ni. These additives are used at a concentration between 100 and 2500 ppm of metal relative to the charge, either in the form of a suspension of solid particles, in solution, or as an emulsion. The additives effectively prevent coke formation during thermal treatments at temperatures above approximately 420°C, such as viscoreduction or hydro viscoreduction.
