- hydrocarbon fractions include reactor carburettor, diesel (or diesel) fuel, kerosene, vacuum distillate and deasphalted oil.
- the invention makes it possible to carry out a deep desulphurization of petroleum fractions, in particular of middle distillates, economically.
- the middle distillate cuts whether from the direct distillation of a crude oil or from the catalytic cracking process, still contain significant amounts of aromatic compounds, nitrogen compounds and sulfur compounds. .
- the fuel used in diesel engines must contain a sulfur content of less than about 500 parts per million by weight (ppm), this specification being lowered to 50 ppm in the near future, and presumably lowered further in the medium term, for example to 10 ppm or less.
- ppm parts per million by weight
- the aromatics content of diesel fuel is not, in most countries, subject to specification, but in some cases the aromatics content of the base cuts used to meet the specification of number of cetane.
- the present invention relates to a high performance hydrotreatment process, which can in particular treat difficult loads and poor quality to produce high quality fuels. It comprises at least two reaction stages, with intermediate fractionation in a pressurized hydrogen stripping column of the effluent of the first stage, in order to eliminate undesirable impurities for the second stage catalyst, and to eliminate on the other hand to produce a lightly desulphurized light liquid fraction which is not fed at the second stage.
- the intermediate fractionation comprises stripping the liquid effluent of the first stage with pressurized hydrogen with rectification of the stripping vapors by means of a substantially desulfurized liquid reflux.
- the process makes it possible to have, in the second stage, a very low pollutant content, in particular H2S and water, and to be able to use, in the second stage, a noble metal or noble metal catalyst under the best conditions of use of this metal. catalyst. It also makes it possible to use a reduced reactor in the second stage, and thus reduce the cost of installation while having a high energy efficiency.
- the present invention also relates to a substantially desulfurized and optionally partially dearomatized hydrocarbon fraction obtained by means of the process according to the invention, and any hydrocarbon fraction or any fuel containing such a fraction.
- purity applied to a hydrogen-containing gas and designated by the acronym “Pur” shall mean a molar percentage of molecular hydrogen: for example, a Pur1 purity of 85 of a gas shall mean that the gas contains 85 mol% hydrogen (molecular).
- hydrogen-rich gas or “hydrogen” is defined as a gas whose molecular hydrogen purity is greater than about 50.
- purity. of this loop the purity of the gas at the suction of the recycling compressor of this loop.
- a recycling loop is applied to the recycling of a hydrogen-rich gas to a hydrotreatment reactor, after gas / liquid separation downstream of this reactor, and compression gas (or part of the gas) to allow recycling.

- a recycling loop comprises at least one recycling compressor, a hydrotreatment reactor, a gas / liquid separation tank downstream of this reactor, and / or, optionally, the portion of the stripping column at the reactor.
- a recycling loop thus includes the lines and equipment located along the path of the recycled gas; it can therefore also include branches and derivations: for example, a part of compressed gas can be taken from the stream of recycled gas upstream of the reactor, and feed the reactor in the intermediate part, for use as "quench” gas (in the English terminology, ie quenching, or direct cooling), and / or supply the stripping column (as stripping gas).
- quench in the English terminology, ie quenching, or direct cooling
- stripping column as stripping gas.
- the term "recycling loop” is therefore used to qualify a closed circuit that may comprise, downstream of the recycle compressor, branches and circuit parts in parallel, following the path of the gas, these parts generally grouping upstream of the or recycle compressors of this loop.
- the feedstock of the process according to the invention designates a hydrocarbon liquid stream supplying a hydrotreatment zone, but also a liquid stream recovered downstream of this hydrotreatment zone, which may for example be described as partially desulphurized feedstock. Even if this partially desulfurized feedstock is chemically different from the initial feedstock, in particular because of the removal of sulfur from certain compounds, but also the saturation of a part of the aromatics and the elimination of a fraction of this feedstock due to the formation of light gaseous products in the reaction stages, not recovered in liquid form.
- cutting point applied to the fractionation (according to the boiling point) of a petroleum cut, (real fractionation, therefore not ideal), is the boiling temperature of a compound situated at the boundary between the light fraction and the heavy fraction in an ideal fractionation (number of infinite theoretical stages, infinite reflux rate), this ideal fractionation giving the same proportion of light fraction and the same proportion of heavy fraction as the actual fractionation.
- Hydrotreatment processes are already known in at least two stages, the first stage generally being a desulfurization stage, and the second (or last stage) being either a high desulfurization stage, a desaromation stage or a combination of desulfurization and desaromatisation; each step may comprise one or more reactors, one or more catalytic zones (or beds), and use the same or different catalysts.
- the catalysts used in hydrotreatment (hydrodesulfurization, and / or hydrodemetallization, and / or hydrogenation, in particular aromatics, and / or hydrodenitrogenation) generally comprise a porous mineral support, at least one metal or metal compound of group VIII of the periodic table.

- the sum of metals or group VIII metal compounds, expressed as weight of metal relative to the weight of the finished catalyst is often between 0.5 and 15% by weight.
- the sum of the metals or compounds of metals of group VI B, expressed in weight of metal relative to the weight of the finished catalyst is often between 2 and 30% by weight.
- the inorganic support may comprise, without limitation, one of the following compounds: alumina, silica, zirconia, titanium oxide, magnesia, or two compounds chosen from the preceding compounds, for example silica-alumina or alumina-zirconia, or alumina-titanium oxide, or alumina-magnesia, or even three or more compounds selected from the above compounds, for example silica-alumina-zirconia or silica-alumina-magnesia.
- alumina, silica, zirconia, titanium oxide, magnesia or two compounds chosen from the preceding compounds, for example silica-alumina or alumina-zirconia, or alumina-titanium oxide, or alumina-magnesia, or even three or more compounds selected from the above compounds, for example silica-alumina-zirconia or silica-alumina-magnesia.
- the support may also comprise, in part or in whole, a zeolite.
- a frequently used support is alumina, or a support composed mainly of alumina (for example from 80 to 100% of alumina); such a support may also comprise one or more other elements or promoter compounds, based for example on phosphorus, magnesium, boron, silicon, or comprising a halogen.
- the support may for example comprise from 0.01 to 20% by weight of B2O3, or of SiO2, or of P2O5, or of a halogen (for example chlorine or fluorine), or 0.01 to 20% by weight of an association of several of these promoters.
- Common catalysts are, for example catalysts based on cobalt and molybdenum, or nickel and molybdenum, or nickel and tungsten, on an alumina support, this support may comprise one or more promoters as mentioned above.
- Other catalysts are also frequently used comprising at least one noble metal or composed of a noble metal, this noble metal often being rhodium, palladium or platinum, and most often palladium or platinum (or a mixture of these elements, for example palladium and platinum).
- noble metal or noble metals are often included for these catalysts between 0.01 and about 10% by weight based on the finished catalyst.
- These noble metal type catalysts are generally more effective than so-called conventional catalysts, especially in hydrogenation, and allow operation at lower temperatures and with lower catalyst volumes. They are however more expensive and more sensitive to impurities.
- the operating conditions that can be used in hydrotreatment are well known to those skilled in the art:
- the temperature is typically between about 200 and about 460 ° C.
- the total pressure is typically from about 1 MPa to about 20 MPa, generally from 2 to 20 MPa, preferably from 2.5 to 18 MPa, and most preferably from 3 to 18 MPa, and often from about 4 to about 15 MPa.
- the overall hourly space velocity of liquid charge for each catalytic step is typically from about 0.1 to about 12, and generally from about 0.4 to about 10.
- the purity of hydrogen is typically between 50 and 100.
- the amount of hydrogen relative to the liquid feedstock is, for each catalytic stage, typically between about 50 and about 1200 Nm 3 / m 3 at the reactor outlet, and often between about 100 and about 1000 Nm 3 / m 3 at the outlet. reactor.
- the process according to the invention is not linked to a particular hydrotreatment catalyst or to specific operating conditions, but can be used with any hydrotreatment catalyst (or catalysts) and any hydrotreatment operating conditions, already known in the art. the skilled person or who would be developed and known in the future.
- This process makes it possible to subtract the light fraction before the second reaction stage and thus reduce the size of the reactor of this section.
- Intermediate distillation induces a high energy consumption.
- this distillation can hardly be envisaged at pressures such as those of hydrotreating stages of diesel cuts (generally greater than about 4 MPa), as this would lead to excessive column bottom temperatures exceeding very generally the cracking start temperature, typically close to 400 ° C.
- the pressure of the distillation is not specified in the aforementioned patent, the examples of which, however, use atmospheric pressure or normal conditions. It can therefore be considered that this process uses a distillation at moderate pressure close to atmospheric pressure, pressure used in refinery to fractionate diesel type cuts in so-called "atmospheric" distillation, typically operated at a pressure of less than 0.5 MPa. This process therefore requires a pump with a high differential pressure to supply the second reaction stage.
- US Pat. No. 5,114,562 discloses a process for hydrotreating an average distillate in at least two consecutive steps in order to produce desulfurized and deflavored hydrocarbon cuts comprising a first hydrodesulphurization step, the effluent of which is sent to a stripping zone through hydrogen, in order to eliminate the hydrogen sulphide that it contains.
- the desulfurized fraction thus obtained is sent to a second reaction zone, in particular hydrogenation zone, comprising at least two reactors in series, in which the aromatic compounds are hydrogenated.
- the stripping zone does not include reflux.
- No. 5,110,444 discloses a process comprising hydrotreating an average distillate in at least three distinct steps.
- the effluent from the first hydrodesulfurization stage is sent to a stripping zone with hydrogen to remove the hydrogen sulphide it contains.
- the desulphurized liquid fraction obtained is sent to a first hydrogenation zone, the effluent of which is in turn sent to a second stripping zone distinct from the first one.
- the liquid portion from the second stripping zone is sent to a second hydrogenation zone.
- the stripping zone does not include reflux.
- Patent Application EP-A-1 063 275 discloses a method for hydrotreating a load hydrocarbonaceous composition comprising a hydrodesulfurization step, a step in which the partially desulphurized effluent is sent to a stripping zone with hydrogen, then in a hydrotreatment step making it possible to obtain a partially deflavored and substantially desulphurized effluent.
- the gaseous effluent from the stripping step is cooled to a temperature sufficient to form a liquid fraction that is returned to the top of the stripping zone, at the main supply such that appears in the figures.
- the process with intermediate distillation, on the one hand, and the integrated processes with intermediate stripping with hydrogen under pressure, on the other hand do not have the same technical logic, and are not combinable: in fact, one can not both perform high pressure hydrogen stripping, and moderate or atmospheric pressure distillation, or use both a non-integrated process and a highly integrated process.
- the applicants however, surprisingly found that it is possible to implement a method having the advantages of the previously described methods without the disadvantages.
- the process according to the invention makes it possible in particular: to have a high energy efficiency, not requiring a high energy consumption, such as in a fractionation by distillation,
- a typical feedstock of the process according to the invention is a middle distillate feedstock.
- middle distillate refers to hydrocarbon fractions boiling in the range of about 130 ° C to about 410 ° C, generally from about 140 ° C to about 375 ° C, and for example, about 150 ° C. At about 370 ° C.
- a middle distillate charge may also include a diesel or diesel cut, or be designated by one of these designations.
- the process of the present invention may also find application in the treatment of straight-run hydrocarbon fractions having a boiling point in the range of naphthas: it can be used to produce hydrocarbon cuts useful as solvents or diluents and containing preferentially a reduced content of aromatic compounds; the term naphtha refers to a hydrocarbon fraction ranging from hydrocarbons having 5 carbon atoms to hydrocarbons having a final boiling point of about 210 ° C.
- the process can also be used for hydrotreating and desulphurizing gasoline, particularly gasoline produced in a fluid catalytic cracking plant (according to the method known as FCC), or other gasoline fractions from As an example of coker, viscoreduction, or residue hydroconversion units, the term essence refers to a hydrocarbon fraction from a cracking unit, boiling between about 30 ° C and about 210 ° C.
- Another possible charge is kerosene.
- the term kerosene refers to a hydrocarbon fraction boiling in the range of about 130 ° C to about 250 ° C.
- the process according to the invention can also be used for hydrotreating heavier cuts, such as vacuum distillate boiling in the range of about 370 ° C to about 565 ° C.
- the process according to the invention can also be used for hydrotreating heavier cuts than vacuum distillate, in particular deasphalted oil cuts.
- deasphalted oil refers to a section boiling above about 565 ° C. (or a slightly lower temperature such as about 525 ° C.) obtained by deasphalting a heavy residue, for example a residue under vacuum, with a propane solvent, butane, pentane, light gasoline or any other suitable solvent known to those skilled in the art.
- the method can finally be used for the hydrotreatment of a larger hydrocarbon fraction, resulting for example (non-limiting) from a mixture of at least two of the previously defined fractions.
- the method according to the invention comprises the following steps:
- step a3) Downstream of step a2), a second hydrotreatment step a3) in which the stripped liquid effluent, and excess hydrogen, is passed over a second hydrotreatment catalyst.
- the following operations are also carried out:
- a step is taken to straighten the stripping vapors rising above the feed, by means of a liquid reflux of less than about 50 ppm sulfur, • at least a portion of the light hydrocarbon liquid fraction is removed and discharged directly downstream,
- step a1) the supply temperature of the stripping column, the stripping gas flow rate, and the liquid reflux flow rate, so that the stripped liquid effluent represents at most 90% by weight of the feedstock fed.
- step a1) the desulphurization severity of step a1) and the separation efficiency of the rectification step are determined so that the sulfur content of said hydrocarbon liquid fraction light is less than about 50 ppm,
- the sulfur contents of the liquid reflux and the light hydrocarbon liquid fraction must be understood, according to the invention, as organic sulfur contents (contained in sulfur-containing hydrocarbons). These liquid streams may further contain significant amounts of H 2 S in dissolved form in the liquid hydrocarbon phase.
- the portion of the light hydrocarbon liquid fraction, which is discharged directly downstream, is in the process according to the invention, subtracted from any complementary hydrotreatment and is therefore not recycled in step a1) or fed to step a3) or to another hydrotreating step.
- This part sampled is often individualized, ie evacuated alone downstream; alternatively, it may also be mixed with part or all of the hydrotreated liquid fraction (often upstream of the stripping stage gas / liquid separator, which is usually the reflux flask of the column) and discharged to the downstream mixed.
- the process according to the invention thus produces a high desulphurization of the feedstock in the first reaction stage so that the light fractions of this feedstock, which are typically the least refractory to desulfurization (in particular in the case of diesel cuts, or diesel, c that is, middle distillates) are deeply desulfurized, whereas heavy fractions still contain more refractory sulfur compounds; in combination with this extensive desulphurization, stripping and stripping conditions are determined so that a sufficient fractionation quality is obtained so as not to "pollute" the light hydrocarbon liquid fraction produced by the heavier sulfur compounds.
- This makes it possible to be able to subtract a substantially desulfurized fraction from the charge of the second reaction stage and to reduce the dimensions of the reactor of this second stage.
- the method according to the invention is thus particularly well suited to a deep desulfurization in two stages using, in the second step, a very efficient catalyst for the desulfurization of compounds which are relatively refractory to desulfurization, for example a platinum / palladium / alumina catalyst.
- This catalyst being efficient but expensive, it is particularly useful to reduce the catalytic volume by reducing the amount of feed fed to this reaction step.
- the stripping column with grinding thus has a dual functional role: on the one hand removal of pollutants and especially H2S from the feed of the second hydrotreatment stage, and on the other hand evacuation of a light desulphurizing fraction reducing the amount of feed fed to the second hydrotreating step and thus the catalytic volume and the reactor dimensions of this step.
- the process according to the invention is also well suited when both deep desulphurization and medium or moderate de-aromatization are desired, this de-aromatization not requiring the treatment of the entire feedstock in the second hydrotreatment stage. .
- the process is not limited to desulphurization and possibly de-aromatization, but also makes it possible to combine with the desulfurization and de-aromatization reactions other reactions, in particular denitrogenation and possibly demetallation.
- the search for the production at the level of the stripper of a light desulphurized fraction in a significant amount (and not only of a gas rich in H2S) also makes it possible to increase the supply temperature of the stripping column, and therefore of reducing or even eliminating the cooling of the effluent of the first stage upstream of this column, which makes it possible to reduce the necessary heat exchange surfaces compared with known processes at two hydrotreatment stages.
- the effluent from step a3) is cooled, then separated in a gas / liquid separator of the second reaction stage (or second hydrotreating step), into a hydrotreated liquid fraction and a second reaction stage gaseous effluent.
- the effluent of this step a3) can also be mixed with the gaseous column effluent, or the stripping stage gaseous effluent, for example to treat in common the effluents or the recycling gases of the stripping stage. two reaction stages.
- the treatments for purifying the recycle gas may comprise an elimination of H 2 S, for example by washing with amines, and / or dehydration and / or other treatments, in particular for the purification of residual traces of H 2 S, for example by capture on a bed of zinc oxide.
- the treatment of purification of the recycle gas can, however, possibly be carried out on the only recycle gas sent to the second reaction stage a3).
- the second reaction step a3) can therefore be performed:
- step a3 a separate recycling loop (without mixing point or common part with the loop) of the first reaction step ai)), this loop being fed preferably only with makeup hydrogen substantially free of impurities.
- This variant of hydrotreating process with two stages and hydrogen stripping with two separate recycling loops is the subject of a simultaneous patent application to the present application.
- the amine treatment of the recycle gas can optionally be carried out on the only recycle gas to the first reaction step a 1). It is even possible not to treat the amines with recycle gas, the second loop being able to be fed with makeup hydrogen substantially free of impurities.
- the sulfur (organic) content of the liquid reflux and that of the light liquid hydrocarbon fraction taken are less than about 30 ppm, often at about 20 ppm and even 15 ppm, the most preferred contents being less than 10 ppm.
- This high desulfurization severity in the first reaction stage a1) also makes it possible to use a part of the light hydrocarbon liquid fraction as a substantially desulphurized liquid reflux, making it possible to reflux the sulfur-containing products towards the bottom of the stripping column, in particular the products relatively heavy sulfur.
- the respective severities of the two hydrotreating stages (or more), and the nature of the hydrotreatments will be determined so that the mixture of the two liquid effluents ( light hydrocarbon liquid fraction taken on the one hand, and hydrotreated liquid fraction on the other hand) meets the required specifications (usually after a stabilization step of this mixture to remove residual PH2S and fractions too light to meet the specifications for example on the initial point, or the light content, or the distillation interval).
- a diesel fuel for the product resulting from the mixing of the two liquid effluents of the plant to have, after stabilization, a sulfur content of less than 50 ppm, often 30 ppm and even 20 ppm. ppm, preferably at 15 ppm and very preferably at 10 ppm, for example at 5 ppm, and a cetane number according to the specification in force.
- the liquid reflux may comprise, preferably, a fraction of said light hydrocarbon liquid fraction, and for example be constituted by a part or preferably all of the residual fraction of this light hydrocarbon liquid fraction, after removal of the directly discharged part. downstream.
- the liquid reflux is thus a part of the light hydrocarbon feedstock and therefore has the same sulfur content as this light hydrocarbon liquid fraction.
- the liquid reflux may also comprise or be constituted by a fraction of said hydrotreated liquid fraction or also a mixture of a part of this hydrotreated liquid fraction with a part of the light hydrocarbon liquid fraction, the liquid obtained being in both cases very low sulfur content.
- the mixing is generally done by contact between the hydrotreated liquid fraction, or a portion of this hydrotreated liquid fraction, and the top effluent of the stripping column, upstream of the separator (or a possible second separator) gas / liquid stripping step. It is preferable to cool the effluent at the top of the column in one step, to reach a temperature generally of between 20 ° C. and 250 ° C., often less than 100 ° C., most often less than about 70 ° C. ° C, and for example close to 50 ° C.
- This contact liquid (optional), preferably introduced upstream of the second gas / liquid separator, is generally capable of absorbing light hydrocarbons, this then eliminates light hydrocarbons from the recycling loop and increases purity. hydrogen from this loop.
- the grinding step is performed in a separation efficiency rectification zone of between 1 and 30 theoretical plates, including terminals, and preferably between 2 and 20 theoretical plates, and very preferably between 5 and Theoretical limits include (conventionally, the separative efficiency (or separation) of the rectification step is equal to the separation efficiency of the rectification area).
- a rectification section makes it possible, with a substantially desulfurized liquid reflux, to reflux towards the bottom of the column relatively heavy sulfur products, for example dibenzothiophenes.
- the zone of exhaustion (or stripping) of the stripping column can for example have an efficiency corresponding to 3 to 60 theoretical plates, and generally from 5 to 30 theoretical plates, by example of 8 to 20 theoretical plates, limits included.
- the flow rates of liquid reflux and stripping gas that can be used depend on many parameters, including, for example, the feed temperature of the stripping column and the amount of light hydrocarbon liquid fraction removed. These parameters may preferably be determined in combination (and not independently).
- the stripping gas flow rate corresponds to about 5% to 150% and very preferably 10% to 100% of the hydrogen consumed in step a1) (assuming the hydrogen of this gas flow rate completely consumed stripping).
- the amount of liquid reflux will generally be between 0.05 and 1.2 kg / kg of liquid feed supplied in step a1), and often between 0.15 and 0.6 kg / kg of feed fed to the feedstock. step ai).
- a reflux ratio of the rectification zone (mass ratio between the liquid reflux and the light hydrocarbon liquid fraction taken) of between 0.05 and 20 will be chosen.
- the very preferred reflux ratio is between 0.25 and 3.
- the reflux comprises a part of the hydrotreated liquid fraction, it is preferable to use a quantity of liquid reflux chosen from the range indicated above, or to use a reflux ratio in the aforementioned range, by calculating it with respect to the light hydrocarbon liquid fraction taken even if this fraction is not individualized, but evacuated in mixture with a part of the hydrotreated liquid fraction.
- Suitable (sufficient) flow rates of stripping gas and liquid reflux can easily be determined by those skilled in the art for the desired separation conditions by simulation of computer splitting.
- the overhead gaseous effluent is cooled and partially condensed, then separated in a gas / liquid separator (stripping step), into a light hydrocarbon liquid fraction and a gaseous stripping step effluent; preferably, part of this light hydrocarbon liquid fraction is then removed and discharged directly downstream, the complementary part of this light hydrocarbon liquid fraction taken is often returned in full to the stripping column and used as liquid reflux, directly (Without further hydrotreatment or heat exchange) or after a possible heat exchange performed on a part or all of said complementary part. Generally the whole of the complementary part is used as reflux.
- the light hydrocarbon liquid fraction taken is at least 10% by weight of the feed of step a1).
- the light hydrocarbon liquid fraction removed represents at least 20% by weight of the feedstock of step a1), and the stripped liquid effluent represents at most 80% by weight of the feedstock of step a1).
- this light hydrocarbon liquid fraction taken is between 20 and 70% by weight of the feedstock of step a1), and the stripped liquid effluent represents between 30 and 80% by weight of the feedstock of step a1).
- this light hydrocarbon liquid fraction taken represents between 30 and 60% by weight of the feedstock of step a1), and the stripped liquid effluent represents between 40 and 70% by weight of the feedstock of step a1). If the quantity of relatively heavy sulfur compounds (for example dibenzothiophenes) present in the light hydrocarbon liquid fraction is too great, the amount of light hydrocarbon liquid fraction taken can be reduced so that these compounds are found preferentially in the stripped liquid effluent.
- relatively heavy sulfur compounds for example dibenzothiophenes
- step a1) can be increased to adjust the sulfur content of the light hydrocarbon liquid fraction.
- This evacuation, according to the process of the invention, of a large and substantially desulfurized fraction of the charge at the end of the first stage does not comply with the technical logic of the aforementioned state of the art processes with intermediate stripping with hydrogen under pressure. It is indeed sought in these processes to limit the amount of average hydrocarbons (in the range of diesel fuel for example) contained in the stripping vapors, and in particular to perform for this purpose a substantial cooling (typically at least 100 ° C) of the effluent of the first reaction stage before feeding the stripping column. In these processes, the recovered light fraction is typically recycled to the first hydrotreatment stage, not having the required sulfur specification.
- the process according to the invention preferably uses a combination of technical means, in particular a relatively high column inlet temperature, associated with a stripping gas flow rate sufficient for the stripping vapors to contain a large quantity of hydrocarbons. light and medium that can be condensed and evacuated without further hydrotreatment.
- a relatively high column inlet temperature associated with a stripping gas flow rate sufficient for the stripping vapors to contain a large quantity of hydrocarbons. light and medium that can be condensed and evacuated without further hydrotreatment.
- the method according to the invention preferentially uses two process arrangements which are not described or suggested in the prior art:
- the effluent of step a1) of hydrotreatment is fed into the fractionation column with a possible temperature difference of at most 90 ° C with the exit temperature of reaction step a1) (temperature leaving the reactor, or the last reactor if step a1) is carried out in several reactors).
- This temperature difference is very preferably less than about 70 ° C, and often less than about 50 ° C. It can also be substantially zero.
- the effluent of step a1) of hydrotreatment is thus fed directly into the fractionation column, at a temperature substantially identical to the outlet temperature of the reaction step a1) ,
- the effluent of the hydrotreatment stage a1) is fed into the fractionation column after a limited cooling of at most 90.degree. C., and preferably at most 70 ° C, and very preferably at most 50 ° C.
- the effluent of the hydrotreatment step a1) is fed into the fractionation column after a limited heating of at most 90.degree. C., and preferably at most 70.degree. ° C, and very preferably at most 50 ° C.
- the effluent of step a1) of hydrotreatment is fed into the fractionation column at a temperature of between about 255 ° C. and about 390 ° C., preferably at a temperature of between about 270 ° C. C and about 390 ° C and most preferably at a temperature of about 305 ° C to about 390 ° C, particularly at a temperature of about 315 ° C to about 380 ° C.
- the amount of light hydrocarbon liquid charge that can be taken is generally lower than with a higher temperature feed.
- the fractionation conditions, and in particular the parameters of the rectification section are preferably selected, so that the light fraction removed is substantially free of relatively heavy compounds and relatively difficult to desulfurize as dibenzothiophenes. It is then possible, for example, to choose the cutting point between the light hydrocarbon liquid fraction and the stripped liquid fraction, preferably between 200 and 315 ° C., and very preferably between 235 and 312 ° C., for example between 250 and 305 ° C. . It is also possible to choose the 95% distilled weight point of the light hydrocarbon liquid fraction preferably between 200 and 315 ° C., and very preferably between 235 and 312 ° C., for example between 250 and 305 ° C.
- the pressure of the stripping column is typically close to the outlet pressure of the first reaction stage and the first hydrotreatment reactor, for example, lower by about 0 to 1 MPa, preferably about 0 to 0.6 MPa, and very preferably about 0 to 0.4 MPa to that of the outlet of the first hydrotreatment reactor.
- the degree of hydrodesulfurization of step a1) which is high in the process according to the invention, is adjusted so that the sulfur content of the light hydrocarbon liquid fraction is very low: less than about 50 ppm, especially less than 30 ppm. and preferably less than 20 ppm, especially less than about 10 ppm, and for example less than 5 ppm.
- the degree of hydrodesulphurization of step a1) is also adjusted so that the sulfur content of the stripped liquid effluent is limited, and compatible with a good efficiency of the catalyst of the second reaction step a3).
- the residual (organic) sulfur content of the total charge at the end of the first step a1) is then generally between about 50 and about 2000 ppm, and often between about 70 and 1000 ppm, and very frequently between 100 and 100 ppm. and 450 ppm.
- step a1) it is also possible, without departing from the scope of the invention, to carry out a very thorough desulfurization in step a1), to reach for example less than 50 ppm, and even less than 10 ppm, or even less than 5 ppm of sulfur on the overall charge, step a3) then often being an essentially hydrogenation step.
- step a3) It may optionally be of the order of 200 to 2000 ppm or more if a conventional catalyst, for example nickel / molybdenum on alumina, is used in step a3).
- a conventional catalyst for example nickel / molybdenum on alumina
- the conditions of step a 1), the cutting point and the fractionation conditions are preferably chosen, so that the stripped liquid effluent is desulfurized, for example to a residual content of at most about 500 ppm sulfur, preferably at most about 250 ppm and very preferably at most about 200 ppm sulfur, for example at about 120 ppm. ppm of sulfur or less.
- the corresponding sulfur content of the overall charge, at the output of step a1), is then often between about 100 and about 450 ppm. These values are not limiting, however, and depend on the more or less thioresistant nature of the platinum / palladium catalyst used. It is therefore not beyond the scope of the invention using a platinum / palladium catalyst in step a3) with a less desulphurized filler, for example at 1000 ppm sulfur or more.
- VVH low space velocity, high temperature, high hydrogen partial pressure, effective catalyst and adapted to the load.
- step ai we can start by determining the "initial" conditions of severity of step ai) and in particular a sufficient desulphurization severity so that a light portion of the processed cut, and the residual heavy part are desulfurized at least at the desired level. For example, if it is desired to produce and discharge directly downstream a light hydrocarbon liquid fraction representing 20% by weight of the initial charge and having at most 10 ppm of sulfur, it is possible to determine sufficiently severe stage conditions a 1) so that the light fraction corresponding to the cutting point (ideal) 20% weight is desulfurized to about 10 ppm, or more severe conditions if the sulfur content of the residual heavy fraction is too high for the catalyst that is to be used in step a3).
- Operating conditions of the "initials" or “first iteration” column are then chosen, for example by taking a separation efficiency of 5 trays. Theoretical in rectification and in exhaustion (stripping), a mass flow rate of reflux equal to the amount of light hydrocarbon liquid fraction that it is desired to take (the liquid reflux used being a part of the light hydrocarbon liquid fraction produced), a flow rate stripping gas corresponding for example 100% of the hydrogen consumed in step ai), etc., the temperature of the supply of the column being determined to produce the desired amount of light hydrocarbon liquid fraction. A simulation of "initial" operating conditions (in particular the bottom temperature of the column) and the fractionation carried out using these conditions is then obtained by computer calculation.
- the operating conditions are then preferably modified, to improve the possibilities of energy integration, by modifying the various parameters (for example the stripping gas flow rate, the liquid reflux flow rate, etc.) so that the temperature of the supply of the column is preferably close to the outlet temperature of the reactor of step a1), the temperature of the gas / liquid separator stripping step is preferably compatible with conventional cooling means of the effluent of step a1) etc. Then, the sulfur content of the light hydrocarbon liquid fraction obtained by the simulation and that of the stripped liquid fraction obtained by the simulation are evaluated. These changes can be made in one or more iterations.
- the various parameters for example the stripping gas flow rate, the liquid reflux flow rate, etc.
- the desulphurization severity of step a1) and the separation efficiency of the rectification zone are then adjusted to adjust the sulfur content of the light hydrocarbon liquid fraction to the desired value, possibly with a safety margin.
- the fractionation carried out in the stripping column and in particular in the rectification zone is not ideal, the light hydrocarbon liquid fraction is indeed not free of small amounts of sulfur products heavier than the cutting point (ideal).
- An adaptation of the average desulfurization severity of step a1), and / or in combination with an adaptation of the efficiency separating the rectification zone then makes it possible to limit the presence of these small amounts of relatively heavy sulfur products, and to compensate for the presence of traces of these sulfur-containing products by a reduction in the average sulfur content of the other compounds of the light hydrocarbon liquid fraction.
- step a3) If, moreover, the stripped liquid effluent has a sulfur content which is too great with respect to the catalyst envisaged in step a3), the desulphurization severity of step a1) can be further increased or a catalyst selected step a3) less sensitive to sulfur.

- the conditions of step a i) are chosen so that the total effluent of this stage, and also the effluent the stripped liquid is deeply desulfurized, for example at a residual content of at most about 200 ppm and preferably at most about 100 ppm, in particular at most about 50 ppm, and very preferably at most about 10 ppm sulfur or even at most a lower grade still.
- the hydrotreatment step a3) may optionally be carried out with at least one catalyst comprising at least one noble metal or a noble metal compound chosen from the group consisting of palladium and platinum (by example of platinum on alumina, and preferably platinum / palladium on alumina).
- This variant of the process according to the invention makes it possible to have a second reaction stage a3) having a high activity in hydrogenation of aromatics; it is therefore often a step ai) mainly producing a desulphurization (with generally a conventional catalyst, for example cobalt / molybdenum or nickel / molybdenum on alumina), while step a3) typically performs a complementary desulfurization and hydrogenation aromatics, in particular to improve the cetane number.
