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

An apparatus (304) for controlling a production volume of a production plant comprises a data processing system (305) configured to generate a control variable based on a resource variable that is indicative of known or predicted availability of a production resource as a function of time, and to control the production volume based on the control variable. To generate an updated value of the control variable for a future time moment, the data processing system is configured to compute a difference between a future value of the resource variable and a current value of the control variable, and to compute the updated value of the control variable based on the difference. As the updated control variable is based on the difference between the future value of the resource variable and the current value of the control variable, anticipating control actions can be done to adapt operation of the production plant.

Abstract

A process for preparing hydrocarbons from an oxygenated hydrocarbon feedstock, such as animal fat, having a high nitrogen impurity is described. Hydrotreatment of the oxygenated feedstock occurs in a first hydrotreating bed arranged downstream of a polishing bed. A gaseous phase is removed and the liquid hydrotreated phase is fed to the polishing bed arranged upstream of the first hydrotreating bed together with fresh hydrogen. The process effectively removes nitrogen impurities from the resultant hydrocarbon product causing an improved cloud point after isomerisation, and the arrangement makes efficient use of fresh hydrogen for polishing, providing a polished hydrocarbon product rich in dissolved hydrogen. Part of the product can be used as hydrocarbon diluent in the downstream hydrotreating bed, and/or withdrawn between the polishing and hydrotreating bed and isomerised in an isomerisation reactor.

Abstract

A system for storing biological feedstock includes receiving tanks, storage tanks, and at least one slop tank. The biological feedstock is supplied to the receiving tanks from sources external to the system. Fat separated from the biological feedstock is transferred from the receiving tanks to the storage tanks, and sludge deposited on a bottom portion of each receiving tank and on a bottom portion of each storage tank is transferred to the slop tank. Fat separated from the sludge is transferred from the slop tank to the receiving tanks. Biological material is blended from biological feedstocks. The tanks act in different roles to improve the removal of sludge, and increases the yield of desired biological material.

In some embodiments, the content of the lipophilic phosphorus compounds in the renewable feedstock can be in a range of between 2 parts per million by weight (wppm) and 0.1 wppm so that deactivation of a catalyst used in the hydrotreatment process is reduced or avoided. In some embodiments, a feedstock can be determined to include an amount of “difficult to remove” phosphorus and the result thereof can be used for selecting a suitable pretreatment to which the feedstock can then be subjected. The pretreated renewable feedstock can then be hydrotreated catalytically.

The system comprises a distillation column system (100) that receives a mixture (105) containing the first reaction effluent to produce ether. The system comprises a side flow outlet (107) that withdraws a side flow (108) from the distillation column system and a second etherification reactor system (110) that receives the side flow and produces a second reaction effluent (111). The second reaction effluent is mixed with the first reaction effluent, and this mixture (105) 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

The present disclosure relates to methods for processing liquefied waste polymers containing diolefins and naphtha. Hydrotreatment A of the diolefins produces a diolefin depleted LWP feed which is separated by distillation B to give rise to one or more distillates containing at least a naphtha fraction, an optional middle fraction and a distillation bottom. Hydroprocessing C of the naphtha fraction gives rise to hydrogenated naphtha fraction which is suitable as a feed for a steam cracker D. The distillation bottom and the middle fraction can mixed with crude oil and used in oil refinerery since they are predominantly free from diolefins.

3, a freezing point of equal to or lower than −40° C., and an amount of isomerized paraffins of over 90 wt-% as calculated from total paraffinic content of the hydrocarbon composition. The hydrocarbon composition can be used in combination with a fuel or fuel component, especially a jet fuel. Disclosed is also a method to produce a hydrocarbon composition. The isomerized paraffins in the hydrocarbon composition can be from a renewable source.

Abstract

A process for converting steam cracking products into an alcohol composition consisting essentially of 2-propanol and butanols is disclosed. The process includes steam cracking and recovery of a stream including propene and butenes, which are next converted catalytically in the presence of water to 2-propanol and butanols respectively.
