Abstract
A method for producing liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs). The method includes passing a hydrocarbon feed stream rich in aromatics to a selective hydrogenation reactor configured to saturate olefins selectively without aromatic saturation to generate a hydrotreated feed stream; passing the hydrotreated feed stream to a fractionation unit to form a light fraction stream and a heavy fraction stream split at 218° C. to 250° C.; and passing the light fraction stream to an aromatics extraction unit to form an aromatic compounds stream. The method also includes passing the non-aromatic compounds stream to a naphthene separator to generate a naphthenic stream; passing the aromatic compounds stream, the naphthenic stream, and an input hydrogen stream to a hydrogenation unit to form a hydrotreated effluent stream; and passing the hydrotreated effluent stream to a separator to remove unsaturated compounds to isolate the saturated compounds as a LOHC stream.
