Abstract
Abstract A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF A GAS CONTAINING GASEOUS HYDROCARBONS BY THE HYDROGENATION OF NON-DISTILLATE HYDROCARBON OILS. THE OIL IS FIRST PREHEATED IN THE LIQUID PHASE, AND THEN INTRODUCED THROUGH AN ATOMISER INTO A GAS RECYCLE HYDROGENATOR IN WHICH THE OIL REACTS UNDER PRESSURE WITH, AND IS CONTINUOUSLY ENTRAINED INTO CIRUCLATION WITH, A SUPPLY OF HYDROGENATING GAS. A GAS CONTAINING GASEOUS HYDROCARBONS IS FORMED BY REACTION OF THE OIL AND THE HYDROGEN, AND IS CONTINUOUSLY WITHDRAWN FROM THE HYDROGENATOR. THE PROCESS IS PRIMARILY FOR THE HYDROGENATION OF NONDSTILLATE OILS, SUCH AS CRUDE PETROLEUM AND PARTICULARLY LIGHT CRUDE PETROLEUM.
