Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for conversion of light paraffinic gases to form liquid products in a two-stage reaction system. In a first stage, the light paraffinic gas is exposed to heat transfer particles in a side riser, where the heat transfer particles correspond to particles used in a separate process. Examples of a separate process include fluidized coking and fluid catalytic cracking. The conditions in the side riser can be selected to allow for conversion of at least a portion of the paraffins to olefins. After conversion, the converted olefin stream is passed to the second reaction stage while the heat transfer particles are returned to the separate process. The converted olefin stream is then exposed to a conversion catalyst under conditions for forming aromatics from the converted olefin stream in a second reaction stage. By performing the initial alkane conversion to olefins in the first reaction stage, the amount of coke formed during the aromatics formation process is reduced or minimized.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for forming specialty products from hydrotreated FCC fractions. Optionally, the hydrotreated FCC fractions used for forming the specialty products can further include a (hydrotreated) portion of a steam cracker tar fraction. The specialty products that can be formed from hydrotreated FCC fractions include, but are not limited to, carbon blacks, resins, and carbon fibers. A convenient method for forming the hydrotreated FCC fractions can be fixed bed hydrotreatment.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for upgrading a high density cracked feedstock, such as a catalytic slurry oil, by hydroprocessing. The upgrading can further include performing a separation on the effluent from hydroprocessing of the cracked feedstock, such as a distillation (i.e., separation based on boiling point) or a solvent-based separation. The separation on the hydroprocessed effluent can allow for separation of an aromatics-enriched fraction and an aromatics-depleted fraction from the hydroprocessed effluent. The aromatics-enriched fraction and aromatics-depleted fraction can then be separately used and/or separately undergo further processing.

Abstract: Methods and systems producing gasoline boiling range hydrocarbons from light paraffins are disclosed. Such methods may include exposing a paraffin-containing stream to a catalyst in a side riser of a fluid catalytic cracking reactor under effective conditions for dehydrogenating at least a portion of paraffins in the stream into olefins and thereby producing an olefin-containing stream, wherein the paraffin-containing stream comprises greater than 50 wt % isobutane; and alkylating olefins in the olefin-containing stream to produce a product stream comprising an alkylate fraction comprising hydrocarbons boiling between 100° F. and 400° F.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for improving the processing of heavy or challenged feeds in a refinery based on integrated use of deasphalting, coking, and hydroprocessing. An optional fluid catalytic cracking unit can be included in the integrated system to allow for further improvements. The improved processing can be facilitated based on a process configuration where the vacuum resid fractions and/or other difficult fractions are deasphalted to generate a deasphalted oil and a deasphalter residue or rock fraction. The deasphalted oil can be passed into a hydroprocessing unit for further processing. The rock fraction can be used as the feed to a coking unit. Although deasphalter residue or rock is typically a feed with a high content of micro carbon residue, a high lift deasphalting process can allow a portion of the micro carbon residue in the initial feed to remain with the deasphalted oil. The portion of micro carbon residue that remains in the deasphalted oil can then be upgraded during hydroprocessing and/or during subsequent processing of the feed. By reducing the amount of micro carbon residue passed into a coker for a given initial feed source, the overall capacity for a reaction system to handle heavy feeds can be increased relative to the rate of coke production from the reaction system.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for upgrading catalytic slurry oil to form naphtha boiling range and/or distillate boiling range fuel products. It has been unexpectedly discovered that catalytic slurry oil can be separately hydroprocessed under fixed bed conditions to achieve substantial conversion of asphaltenes within the slurry oil (such as substantially complete conversion) while reducing or minimizing the amount of coke formation on the hydroprocessing catalyst. After hydroprocessing, the hydroprocessed effluent can be processed under fluid catalytic cracking conditions to form various products, including distillate boiling range fuels and/or naphtha boiling range fuels. Another portion of the effluent can be suitable for use as a low sulfur fuel oil, such as a fuel oil having a sulfur content of 0.1 wt % or less.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for upgrading catalytic slurry oil. The upgrading can be performed by deasphalting the catalytic slurry oil to form a deasphalted oil and a residual or rock fraction. The deasphalted oil can then be hydroprocessed to form an upgraded effluent that includes fuels boiling range products.

Abstract: A potentially heat-deficient fluid catalytic cracking process for effecting a bulk boiling point conversion of a high boiling point petroleum feed to lower boiling products in which the overall enthalpy balance between the endothermic cracking and exothermic regeneration is maintained by combustion of a supplemental fuel in the middle or upper region of the dense bed in the regenerator (including the region immediately above the dense phase bed). There is a direct economic benefit from operation of the cracking process in this way since the preferred supplemental fuel is methane (natural gas) which is currently a low cost fuel while liquid products are higher value. Use of natural gas as a supplemental fuel will allow re-optimization of the catalyst and operations separately from the heat balance demand.
