Halliburton, the oil field services company, said yesterday that it had won a $600 million contract to build a floating natural gas and oil processing station in Indonesian waters for a Conoco affiliate.
By utilizing the available gas oil hydro-processing unit, full LCO cut can be blended with inferior gas oil, followed by H2 hydrogenation as the FCC feedstock [17].
Normally, gas oil hydro-processing normally operated at high H2 pressure, depending on the type and properties of gas oil, while residue oil operates at a pressure higher than 14 Mpa with a low space velocity.
In terms of LTAG technology, it not only can use current hydrogenation unit with appropriate pressure, e.g., gas oil hydro-processing unit [37], and diesel hydro-upgrading unit with minimum investment, but also can utilize FCC with two-stage risers.
SINOPEC FRIPP institute developed FFI technology in which FCC LCO was recycled into gas oil hydro-processing unit instead of recycling back into FCC unit, and the generated hydro-treated diesel, including the diesel from FCC diesel and moderate cracking of gas oil, can be totally delivered to FCC unit by removing the fractioning tower.
The state now imports the bulk of its natural gas and crude oil, processing the latter at several local refineries and redistributing it via pipelines to various points in Ohio and neighbouring states.
(ii) Co-processing gas oil mixed with hydrotreated biomass pyrolysis liquids.
The configuration of hydro-processing of gas oil and residual oil is to improve the properties and qualities of crude oil such as vacuum gas oil, coke gas oil rich in basic nitrogen, sulfur and aromatics, and residue oil with high concentration of Ni, V, sulfur, nitrogen, colloids, and asphalts which can deactivate FCC catalysts and correspondingly decrease catalysts' activity.
The effect of the presence of palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) during co-processing with light gas oil (LGO) in hydrodesulfurization unit has been carried out in a near adiabatic, pilot-scale, and fixed-bed hydrotreating reactor, over commercial CoMo/Al2O3 under 280 350 °C, 25 barg, H2/feed ratio of 630 Nm3/m3 and 0.75 h−1.
