SEQUENCE OF HYDROCONVERSION AND CONVERSION PROCESSES WITH WATER VAPOUR IN ORDER TO OPTIMISE PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN ON MINE FIELDS Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC C10G69/02 C01B3/38 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to converting and/or processing distillation residues. Invention relates to a method of processing hydrocarbon material, involving a sequence of a first hydroconversion process which is realised upstream in at least one reactor, involving a reaction or reactions inside the said reactors and which activate at least one solid phase, at least one liquid phase and at least one gaseous phase, and a second reforming process realised downstream, conversion with water vapour, which includes at least one reactor, where the said process which is carried up stream is carried out in suspension and/or boiling bed and the said process which is realised upstream involves a first step for at least partial conversion of gaseous phase hydrocarbons, which are heavier than methane, to methane, where the step is called a pre-reforming step, and the reforming reaction(s) inside the said reactors downstream enable to obtain a hydrogen reagent required for chemical reactions in the first process.

EFFECT: self-sustenance of the hydroconversion process with hydrogen, high conversion of hydrocarbons.
