Definitions

  • the field of art to which this invention pertains is the hydrocracking of a hydrocarbonaceous feedstock.
  • Petroleum refiners often produce desirable products such as turbine fuel, diesel fuel and other products known as middle distillates as well as lower boiling hydrocarbonaceous liquids such as naphtha and gasoline by hydrocracking a hydrocarbon feedstock derived from crude oil, for example.
  • Feedstocks most often subjected to hydrocracking are gas oils and heavy gas oils recovered from crude oil by distillation.
  • a typical gas oil comprises a substantial portion of hydrocarbon components boiling above 371°C (700°F), usually at least 50 percent by weight boiling above 371°C (700°F).
  • a typical vacuum gas oil normally has a boiling point range between 315°C (600°F) and 565°C (1050°F).
  • Hydrocracking is generally accomplished by contacting in a hydrocracking reaction vessel or zone the gas oil or other feedstock to be treated with a suitable hydrocracking catalyst under conditions of elevated temperature and pressure in the presence of hydrogen so as to yield a product containing a distribution of hydrocarbon products desired by the refiner.

  • One of the preferred hydrocarbonaceous products from a hydrocracking process is diesel or diesel boiling range hydrocarbons.
  • Marketable products must meet minimum specifications.
  • Environmental concerns and newly enacted rules and regulations continue to drive lower contaminants limits on such sulfur and nitrogen in diesel fuel.
  • Recently new regulations were proposed in the United States and Europe which basically require the complete removal of sulfur from liquid hydrocarbons which are used as transportation fuels such as gasoline and diesel.
  • the present invention is able to economically hydrocrack a hydrocarbonaceous feedstock while simultaneously producing ultra low sulfur diesel product.

  • other promoters may also be employed in conjunction therewith, including the metals of Group VIB, e.g., molybdenum and tungsten.
  • the amount of hydrogenating metal in the catalyst can vary within wide ranges. Broadly speaking, any amount between 0.05 percent and 30 percent by weight may be used. In the case of the noble metals, it is normally preferred to use 0.05 to 2 weight percent.
  • the preferred method for incorporating the hydrogenating metal is to contact the zeolite base material with an aqueous solution of a suitable compound of the desired metal wherein the metal is present in a cationic form.
  • the resulting catalyst powder is then filtered, dried, pelleted with added lubricants, binders or the like if desired, and calcined in air at temperatures of, e.g., 371°-648°C (700°-1200°F) in order to activate the catalyst and decompose ammonium ions.

  • diluents may be employed as such or they may contain a minor proportion of an added hydrogenating metal such as a Group VIB and/or Group VIII metal.
