  • the invention relates to hydrogenation conditions of Gas to Liquid (GTL)-derived feedstock in blend for the production of the specific fluids.
  • GTL Gas to Liquid
  • Hydrocarbon fluids find widespread use as solvents such as in adhesives, cleaning fluids, explosives solvents, for decorative coatings and printing inks, light oils for use in applications such as metal extraction, metalworking or demoulding and industrial lubricants, and drilling fluids.
  • the hydrocarbon fluids can also be used as extender oils in adhesives and sealant systems such as silicone sealants and as viscosity depressants in plasticised polyvinyl chloride formulations and as carrier in polymer formulation used as flocculants for example in water treatment, mining operations or paper manufacturing and also used as thickener for printing pastes.
  • Hydrocarbon fluids may also be used as solvents in a wide variety of other applications such as chemical reactions.
  • hydrocarbon fluids The chemical nature and composition of hydrocarbon fluids varies considerably according to the use to which the fluid is to be put. Important properties of hydrocarbon fluids are the distillation range generally determined by ASTM D-86 or the ASTM D-1160 vacuum distillation technique used for heavier materials, flash point, density, aniline point as determined by ASTM D-611, aromatic content, sulphur content, viscosity, colour and refractive index. Fluids can be classified as paraffinic, isoparaffinic, dearomatised, naphthenic, non-dearomatised and aromatic.
  • the preferred feedstocks are specific gasoil cuts, such as low sulphur feed.
  • a typical feed could be hydrocraked vacuum gasoil (VGO) for example.
  • One aim of the invention is to provide a process for preparing specific fluids, which process does not require using hydrocracked vacuum gasoil (HCVGO) as a feed.
  • Another aim of the invention is to provide a process which uses a lower amount of hydrocracked vacuum gasoil in the feed.
  • Another aim of the invention is to find a hydrogenation process with improved efficiency.

  • the Applicant has also surprisingly found that when the blended feed is used in the hydrogenation process, then the aromatics content in the hydrogenated hydrocarbon fluid, especially the monoaromatics content, is lower than that which is obtained when the feed is devoid of a hydrocarbon cut originating from a gas-to-liquid process; the aromatics content in the blended feed before hydrogenation being the same as that of the feed devoid of a hydrocarbon cut originating from a gas-to-liquid process.
  • Using the blended feed according to the invention allows reducing the aromatics content in the hydrogenated hydrocarbon fluid.
  • the Applicant has found that using the blended feed in the hydrogenation process allows reducing the catalyst sensitivity to deactivation.

According to one embodiment, the very low sulphur and very low aromatic hydrocarbon fluids have a sulphur content of less than 5 ppm, preferably less than 3 ppm, most preferably less than 0.5 ppm.
  • the process comprises three hydrogenation stages, preferably in three separate reactors.
  • the process comprises a step of prefractionation of the low-sulphur blended feed prior to hydrogenation, into fractions having a boiling point in the range of 150 to 250° C. or in the range of 220 to 330° C.
  • the process further comprises a step of fractionation of the very low sulphur and very low aromatic hydrocarbon fluids into fluids of defined boiling ranges.
  • the very low sulphur and very low aromatic hydrocarbon fluids produced have:
  • the invention also provides new hydrocarbon fluids obtainable by the process of the invention.
  • Another object of the invention is the use of the hydrocarbon fluids as drilling fluids, as industrial solvents, in coating fluids, in metal extraction, in mining, in explosives, in concrete demoulding formulations, in adhesives, in printing inks, in metal working fluids, as cutting fluids, as rolling oils, as electric discharge machining (EDM) fluids, rust preventive in industrial lubricants, as extender oils, in sealants or polymers formulation with silicone, as viscosity depressants in plasticized polyvinyl chloride formulations, in resins, as crop protection fluids, in pharmaceutical products, in paint compositions, in polymers used in water treatment, paper manufacturing or printing pastes and cleaning solvents.

  • One feed is a commercial ultra-low sulphur diesel.
  • the other is a blend of 50/50 by weight of a gas-to-liquid gasoil (GTL) and the commercial ultra-low sulphur diesel used in the first feed.
  • GTL gas-to-liquid gasoil

  • ii) at least one selected from the group consisting of: a hydrodeoxygenated hydrocarbon cut obtained from the biomass, a gas condensate, a hydrocarbon cut of fossil origin and mixtures thereof.
  • the feedstock consists only of a mixture of:
  • ii) at least one selected from the group consisting of: a hydrodeoxygenated hydrocarbon cut obtained from the biomass, a gas condensate, a hydrocarbon cut of fossil origin and mixtures thereof.
  • a Gas to liquids (GTL) process is a refinery process that converts natural gas or other gaseous hydrocarbons into longer-chain hydrocarbons such as gasoline or diesel fuel. Methane-rich gases are converted into liquid synthetic fuels either via direct conversion or via syngas as an intermediate, for example using the Fischer Tropsch process, Methanol to Gasoline process (MTG) or Syngas to gasoline plus process (STG+). For the Fischer Tropsch process, the effluents produced are Fischer-Tropsch derived.
  • Fischer-Tropsch derived is meant that a hydrocarbon composition is, or derives from, a synthesis product of a Fischer-Tropsch condensation process.
  • the Fischer-Tropsch reaction converts carbon monoxide and hydrogen into longer chain, usually paraffinic hydrocarbons:
  • the carbon monoxide and hydrogen may themselves be derived from organic or inorganic, natural or synthetic sources, typically either from natural gas or from organically derived methane. For examples it can also be derived from biomass or from coal.
  • the collected hydrocarbon composition containing a continuous iso-paraffinic series as described above may preferably be obtained by hydroisomerisation of a paraffinic wax, preferably followed by dewaxing, such as solvent or catalytic dewaxing.
  • the paraffinic wax is preferably a Fischer-Tropsch derived wax.
  • Hydrocarbon cuts may be obtained directly from the Fischer-Tropsch reaction, or indirectly for instance by fractionation of Fischer-Tropsch synthesis products or preferably from hydrotreated Fischer-Tropsch synthesis products.
  • Hydrotreatment preferably involves hydrocracking to adjust the boiling range (see, e.g., GB-B-2077289 and EP-A-0147873) and/or hydroisomerisation, which can improve cold flow properties by increasing the proportion of branched paraffins.
  • EP-A-0583836 describes a two-step hydrotreatment process in which a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis product is firstly subjected to hydroconversion under conditions such that it undergoes substantially no isomerisation or hydrocracking (this hydrogenates the olefinic and oxygen-containing components), and then at least part of the resultant product is hydroconverted under conditions such that hydrocracking and isomerisation occur to yield a substantially paraffinic hydrocarbon fuel.
  • the desired gas oil fraction(s) may subsequently be isolated for instance by distillation.
  • Fischer-Tropsch condensation products such as polymerisation, alkylation, distillation, cracking-decarboxylation, isomerisation and hydroreforming
  • Fischer-Tropsch processes which for example can be used to prepare the above-described Fischer-Tropsch derived collected hydrocarbon composition are the so-called commercial Slurry Phase Distillate technology of Sasol, the Shell Middle Distillate Synthesis Process and the “AGC-21” Exxon Mobil process. These and other processes are for example described in more details in EP-A-776959, EP-A-668342, U.S. Pat.
  • the gas to liquid feedstock shall contain less than 1 ppm sulphur as measured according to ASTM method D5453, less than 1 wt. % aromatics as measured according to method IP391, and have a density lower or equal to 0.800 g/cm 3 as measured according to method ASTMD4052.
  • solvent from biological origin used as feedstock in mixture can be produced from biological raw materials from the group consisting of vegetable oils, animal fats, fish oils, and mixtures thereof.
  • suitable biological raw materials include rapeseed oil, canola oil, colza oil, tall oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, hemp oil, olive oil, linenseed oil, mustard oil, palm oil, arachis oil, castor oil, coconut oil, animal fats such as suet, tallow, blubber, recycled alimentary fats, starting materials produced by genetic engineering, and biological starting materials produced by microbes such as algae and bacteria. Condensation products, esters, or other derivatives obtained from biological raw materials may also be used as starting materials.
  • the solvent from biological origin is then produced by using for instance a process first comprising a hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) step for decomposing the structure of the biological ester or triglyceride constituent, and for removing oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur compounds, concurrently hydrogenating the olefinic bonds, followed by isomerization of the product thus obtained, thus branching the hydrocarbon chain and improving the low temperature properties of the paraffin.
  • HDO hydrodeoxygenation
  • the product may for instance fractionate to give the desired fractions.
  • typical refinery feeds can be of any type including feedstock from distillate hydrocracker unit, but also feedstock having high aromatic contents, such as standard ultra-low sulphur Diesel feedstock, heavy Diesel or jet type.
  • the standard ultra-low sulphur Diesel contains less than 10 ppm sulphur as measured according to EN ISO 20846, has a density comprised between 0.820 and 0.845 g/cm 3 as measured according to method EN ISO 12185, and generally meets the requirements of EuroV Diesel as defined in European Directive 2009/30/EC. It is generally obtained by a severe hydrodesulphurization of straight run gasoil cuts from atmospheric distillation.
  • Typical refinery feeds can also be hydrocracked to obtain shorter and simple molecules by the addition of hydrogen under high pressure in the presence of a catalyst.
  • Descriptions of hydrocracking processes may be found in Hydrocarbon Processing of November 1996 pages 124 to 128, hydrocracking science and technology, 1996, U.S. Pat. No. 4,347,124, U.S. Pat. No. 4,447,315, WO-A-99/47626.
  • the optionally hydrocracked feed is then blended with the hydrocarbon cut originating from of a gas-to-liquid process and/or gas condensates and/or hydrodeoxygenated hydrocarbon cuts from the biomass in a proportion of 5 to 95 wt.
  • % of GTL hydrocarbon cuts with respect to the weight of the feed, preferably 20 to 80 wt. % and more preferably 40 to 60 wt. %.
  • the proportion of GTL hydrocarbon cut can be adapted so as to target a final density of about 0.800 to 0.820 g/cm 3 which is commercially favourable.
  • Gas Condensates derive from natural gas. They are a mixture of liquid hydrocarbons with more than four carbon atoms per molecule. Under natural conditions, a gas condensate is a solution of heavier hydrocarbons. The gas condensate separated from natural gas at reduced pressure and/or temperature by reverse condensation is a colorless or slightly colored liquid of density 700-800 kg/m 3 , which begins to boil at 30-70° C. The composition of a gas condensate corresponds approximately to the gasoline or kerosene fraction of crude oil or to a mixture of them.
  • blends of such feedstock shall contain less than 15 ppm of sulphur, preferably less than 8 ppm and more preferably less than 5 ppm as measured according to EN ISO 20846, less than 70% wt. aromatics, preferably less than 50% wt. and more preferably less than 30% wt. as measured according to method IP391 or EN12916, and have a density inferior to 0.830 g/cm 3 as measured according to method EN ISO 12185.
  • a pre-fractionation step can take place in the case where a gasoil cut feed is used. Having a more narrow boiling range entering the unit allows having a more narrow boiling range at the outlet. Indeed typical boiling ranges of pre-fractionated cuts are 150° C. to 250° C. or 220 to 330° C. while cuts without a pre-fractionating step typically have a boiling range from 150° C. to 360° C.
  • the optionally pre-fractionated low sulfur blended feeds are then hydrogenated.
  • Hydrogen that is used in the hydrogenation unit is typically a high purity hydrogen, e.g. with a purity of more than 99%, albeit other grades can be used.
  • Hydrogenation takes place in one or more reactors.
  • the reactor can comprise one or more catalytic beds. Catalytic beds are usually fixed beds.
  • Hydrogenation takes place using a catalyst.
  • Typical hydrogenation catalysts include but are not limited to: nickel, platinum, palladium, rhenium, rhodium, nickel tungstate, nickel molybdenum, molybdenum, cobalt molybdenate, nickel molybdenate on silica and/or alumina carriers or zeolites.
  • a preferred catalyst is Ni-based and is supported on an alumina carrier, having a specific surface area varying between 100 and 200 m 2 /g of catalyst.
  • the hydrogenation conditions are typically the following:
  • the hydrogenated products produced according to the invention have a naphthenic content below 60% wt, especially, below 50% and even below 40%, a polynaphthenic content below 30% wt, especially below 25% and even below 20%, a paraffinic content above 40% wt, especially above 60% and even above 70%, and/or an isoparaffinic content above 20% wt, especially above 30%, and even above 40%.
  • These contents are those of the very low sulphur and very low aromatic hydrocarbon fluids after hydrogenation and before fractionation into fluids of defined boiling ranges.
  • Substantially no hydrodesulphurisation takes place: the sulphur compounds are rather trapped into or onto the catalyst rather than being discharged as H 2 S in the prior art process.
  • the final product even with high boiling ranges, typically above 300° C. or even above 320° C., still contains very low aromatics content, typically less than 100 ppm.
  • the process of the invention can be carried out in several stages. There can be two or three stages, preferably three stages, preferably in three separate reactors.
  • the first stage will operate the sulphur trapping, hydrogenation of substantially all unsaturated compounds, and up to about 90% of hydrogenation of aromatics.
  • the flow exiting from the first reactor contains substantially no sulphur.
  • the hydrogenation of the aromatics continues, and up to 99% of aromatics are hydrogenated.
  • the third stage is a finishing stage, allowing an aromatic content as low as 300 ppm or even less such as below 100 ppm or even below 50 ppm, even for high boiling products.
  • the catalysts can be present in varying or substantially equal amounts in each reactor, e.g. for three reactors according to weight amounts of 0.05-0.5/0.10-0.70/0.25-0.85, preferably 0.07-0.25/0.15-0.35/0.4-0.78 and most preferably 0.10-0.20/0.20-0.32/0.48-0.70. It is also possible to have two hydrogenation reactors instead of three.
  • the first reactor be made of twin reactors operated alternatively in a swing mode. This may be useful for catalyst charging and discharging: since the first reactor comprises the catalyst that is poisoned first (substantially all the sulphur is trapped in and/or on the catalyst) it should be changed often.
  • One reactor can be used, in which two, three or more catalytic beds are installed. It may be necessary to insert quenches on the recycle to cool effluents between the reactors or catalytic beds to control reaction temperatures and consequently hydrothermal equilibrium of the hydrogenation reaction. In a preferred embodiment, there is no such intermediate cooling or quenching.
  • the first reactor will act as a sulphur trap, especially for benzo and di benzothiophens and their derivatives considered as the most refractory sulphur compounds present in refined gasoil cuts.
  • This first reactor will thus trap substantially all the sulphur.
  • the catalyst will thus be saturated very quickly and may be renewed from time to time.
  • regeneration or rejuvenation is not possible for such saturated catalyst the first reactor is considered as a sacrificial reactor which size and catalyst content both depend on the catalyst renewal frequency.
  • the resulting product and/or separated gas is/are at least partly recycled to the inlet of the hydrogenation stages.
  • This dilution helps maintaining the exothermicity of the reaction within controlled limits, especially at the first stage. Recycling also allows heat-exchange before the reaction and also a better control of the temperature.
  • the stream exiting the hydrogenation unit contains the hydrogenated product and hydrogen. Flash separators are used to separate effluents into gas, mainly remaining hydrogen, and liquids, mainly hydrogenated hydrocarbons. The process can be carried out using three flash separators, one of high pressure, one of medium pressure, and one of low pressure, very close to atmospheric pressure.
  • the hydrogen gas that is collected on top of the flash separators can be recycled to the inlet of the hydrogenation unit or at different levels in the hydrogenation units between the reactors. Because the final separated product is at about atmospheric pressure, it is possible to feed directly the fractionation stage, which is preferably carried out under vacuum pressure that is at about between 10 to 50 mbars, preferably about 30 mbars.
  • the fractionation stage can be operated such that various hydrocarbon fluids can be withdrawn simultaneously from the fractionation column, and the boiling range of which can be predetermined.
  • the hydrogenation reactors, the separators and the fractionation unit can thus be connected directly, without having to use intermediate tanks, as is usually the case in the prior art documents.
  • By adapting the feed, especially the initial and final boiling points of the feed it is possible to produce directly, without intermediate storage tanks, the final products with the desired initial and final boiling points.

  • GTL gasoil gas-to-liquid process
  • blend A having the following characteristics: 4 ppm sulphur, 14 wt. % aromatics, 11.4 wt. % of mono aromatics, and a density of 0.806 g/cm 3 .
  • Blend A is then further hydrogenated to be dearomatised in presence of a nickel hydrogenating catalyst according to the process of the invention under a pressure of 130 bars, at a liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV) of 1 h ⁇ 1 and at temperature between 155 and 160° C. Then the resulting hydrogenated desulphurized distillate is fractionated into different cuts, the main one showing the characteristics given in table 1 hereafter.
  • LHSV liquid hourly space velocity
  • FIG. 1 shows the variation of the mono aromatic content in the effluent after the hydrogenation step for both blend A and the commercial ultra-low sulphur diesel alone according to the example.
  • the content of mono aromatic of the effluent at the start of hydrogenation is very high (about 100 ppm) and increases progressively up to about 160 ppm 50 hours after the start of the hydrogenation.
  • the mono aromatics content in the effluent at the start of hydrogenation is only about 25 ppm. It remains stable and very low in the time. Indeed, it reaches only about 40 ppm 50 hours after the start of the hydrogenation.
  • the mono aromatics content for feed A is 4 times lower than that of the commercial ultra-low sulphur diesel alone (25 ppm for feed A versus 100 ppm for the commercial ultra-low sulphur diesel alone).
  • the mono aromatics content for feed A was only 2 times lower than that of the commercial ultra-low sulphur diesel alone.
  • the content of mono aromatics in the commercial ultra-low sulphur Diesel before hydrogenation was 28 wt. % and the content of mono aromatic contents in blend A before hydrogenation was 14 wt. %.
  • the hydrogenation process is thus more efficient when applied to blend A than when applied to the commercial ultra-low sulphur diesel alone.
