Abstract

A system for producing ether includes a processing system that receives alcohol and olefinic hydrocarbon feedstock and includes a first etherification reactor system that produces a first reaction effluent. A distillation column system receives a mixture containing the first reaction effluent to produce ether. A side flow outlet withdraws a side flow from the distillation column system and a second etherification reactor system receives the side flow and produces a second reaction effluent. The second reaction effluent is mixed with the first reaction effluent, and this mixture is supplied to the distillation column system. The side flow makes it possible to produce a given amount of ether with a smaller amount of catalyst material.

Abstract

A system for producing ether includes a first etherification reactor system containing first catalyst and producing a first reaction effluent when supplied with alcohol and olefinic hydrocarbon feedstock, a second etherification reactor system containing second catalyst and producing a second reaction effluent when supplied with the first reaction effluent, and a distillation column receiving the second reaction effluent at a feed-point between the bottom and the top of the distillation column. The produced ether is taken out from the bottom of the distillation column. Volume of the first catalyst contributing the production of the first reaction effluent is at most 15% of total volume of the first catalyst and the second catalyst contributing the production of the second reaction effluent. The first etherification reactor system acts as a guard-bed reactor which removes unwanted components from the feed and thus protects the second etherification reactor system.

Abstract

A process for preparing hydrocarbons from an oxygenated hydrocarbon feedstock, such as animal fat, having a high nitrogen impurity is described. The process involves hydrotreatment of the oxygenated feedstock in a first hydrotreating reactor and a further hydrotreatment in a second hydrotreating reactor, where between the two reactors, the gaseous phase is removed. The specific process setup effectively removes nitrogen impurities from the resultant hydrocarbon product causing an improved cloud point after isomerisation.

Abstract

Here is provided processes for producing at least one liquid transportation fuel component. In a first mode of running one of the processes, a hydrocarbon feed including nitrogen impurities is subjected to a hydroprocessing in reactor A in a presence of a hydrotreatment catalyst A to obtain a hydroprocessing effluent A, which is subjected, after degassing, to a catalytic hydroprocessing in reactor B to obtain a hydroteratment effluent B, which is fractionated, optionally after degassing, to obtain at least one liquid transportation fuel component, and/or at least an aviation fuel component. In the process, parameters indicative of deactivation of the hydrotreatment catalyst A are monitored and when these reach predetermined values, the process is switched to a second mode of running wherein the order of reactors A and B is changed so that a degassed hydroprocessing effluent B is fed to the reactor A.

Abstract

A process for producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) or components thereto is described, wherein the integrated process comprises in the first arm providing a renewable feedstock comprising triglycerides, hydrolyzing the triglycerides into free fatty acids which are subjected to a decarboxylation and/or decarbonylation (DCO) reactions to produce hydrocarbon intermediate A. As second arm of the integrated process, any carbon oxides and glycerol released in the first arm are refined into further hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon intermediate B, which together with hydrocarbon intermediate A are isomerized and a sustainable aviation fuel or components thereto are provided. The process increases carbon efficiency and yield in sustainable aviation fuel production.

Abstract

A process for producing rosin ester comprises preparing a reaction mixture comprising alcohol and rosin, where the rosin is gum rosin, wood rosin, or tall oil rosin. The process comprises spreading the reaction mixture on a heated surface to form a thin layer (201) of the reaction mixture where the esterification reaction takes place. The process comprises removing, from a gas space adjacent to the layer of the reaction mixture, water and other substances evaporated from the reaction mixture, and removing, from the heated surface, product in which the esterification reaction has produced the rosin ester. As the layer (201) of the reaction mixture is thin, mass transfer paths of water molecules leaving the reaction mixture are short and correspondingly an evaporation surface is large. This makes it possible to maintain a low water concentration in the reaction mixture and thereby to increase reaction speed.

Abstract

Current invention describes a process for producing poly-α-olefins, the process comprises providing at least one α-olefin monomer and a catalyst, and letting the at least one α-olefin monomer react in the presence of the catalyst to form a mixture of poly-α-olefins (PAO). The obtained mixture of poly-α-olefins is fractionated to two PAO fractions wherein the two PAO fractions are a first fraction of PAO having a kinematic viscosity of 5 cSt or lower and a second fraction of PAO having a kinematic viscosity of more than 5 cSt. Optionally a recycle fraction is also obtained in the fractionation and at least a part of the recycle fraction comprising dimers of the α- olefins can be recycled back to the reaction step. The process further comprises a step where the obtained two PAO fractions are directly subjected to separate hydrogenation to obtain hydrogenated PAO fractions.
