  • the middle distillates resulting from the sequence of the steps of the process according to The invention has pour points less than or equal to -10 ° C and generally -20 ° C, low aromatics contents (at most 2% weight), aromatic poly (di and higher) contents less than 1% weight and for gas oils, a cetane number greater than 50, and even greater than 52.
  • Another advantage of the process according to the invention is that the total pressure can be the same in all the reactors of steps (c) and (d) hence the possibility of working in series and thus generating cost savings.
  • the feed enters via the pipe (1) in the hydrorefining zone (2) which comprises one or more catalytic beds of hydrorefining catalyst, arranged in one or more reactors.
  • the effluent leaving the line (3) of the hydrorefining zone is sent into a separation train.
  • this train comprises a separation means (4) for separating the light gases (H 2 S, H 2 , NH 3 ... C1-C4) discharged through the pipe (5).
  • the effluent "degassed” is fed via line (6) into a means for separating compounds with a boiling point of less than 150 ° C., which is, for example, a stripper (7) provided with a pipe (8) for evacuate the fraction 150- and a line (9) to bring the stripped effluent into a vacuum distillation column (10).
  • Said column separates at least one oil fraction discharged for example by the pipe (11) and at least one pipe (12), it leaves at least a middle distillate fraction.
  • it can be separated from the fractions light oils with different grades coming out on the figure 1 in the lines (13) (14).
  • the oil fraction obtained in line (11) is sent to the catalytic dewaxing zone (15) which comprises one or more catalytic catalytic dewax catalyst beds, arranged in one or more reactors.
  • the oil fractions of the lines (13) (14) can also be sent in the zone (12), alone or mixed with one another or with the heavier oil of the pipe (11).
  • the dewaxed effluent thus obtained is discharged in its entirety from the zone (15) through the pipe (16). It is then treated in the hydrofinishing zone (17) which comprises one or more catalytic beds of hydrofinishing catalyst, arranged in one or more reactors.
  • the hydrofini effluent thus obtained is discharged through line (18) to the final separation train.
  • this train comprises a separation means (19) for separating the light gases discharged through the pipe (20).
  • the effluent "degassed” is fed through line (21) into a distillation column.
  • an atmospheric distillation column (22) for separating one or more middle distillate fractions evacuated by, for example, a line (23) and optionally a gasoline fraction discharged via a line (24).
  • the residue of the atmospheric distillation discharged through line (25) is sent to a vacuum distillation column (26) which separates one or more light oil fractions (according to the needs of the operator) discharged through at least one pipe, for example, a pipe (27) and allows to recover a base oil fraction by the pipe (28).
  • the final separation train comprises a gas separation means (19) in which between the hydrofini effluent through the pipe (18) and spring "degassed” through the pipe (21).
  • This degassed effluent is sent to a stripper (36) provided with a pipe (37) to evacuate the fraction 150 and a pipe (38) through which the stripped effluent.
  • Said effluent is sent to a vacuum distillation column (26) which separates an oil base fraction through the line (28) and at least a lighter fraction.
  • these lighter fractions are for example light oils discharged through the lines (39) (40) and a single fraction discharged through the line (41) and containing gasoline and middle distillates.
  • the train comprises a means for evacuating the light gases, a means for separating the fraction 150 (stripper, atmospheric distillation) and a vacuum distillation to separate the fraction containing the products.
  • Boiling point greater than 340 ° C (oil fraction or oil base).
  • vacuum columns used directly after the stripper are set to separate overhead boiling point fractions lower than 340 ° C, or 370 ° C or higher (380 ° C for example).
  • the operator will adjust the cutting points according to the products to be obtained and for example if he wants to produce light oils.
  • the more conventional sequence separator, atmospheric distillation column and vacuum distillation column is more often used for the final separation train.
  • the combination of figure 1 is particularly interesting in the quality of the separation (and thus the products obtained) for a very optimized (saving a column).
