SYSTEM OF CONTROL, METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTINUOUS LIQUID-PHASE HYDRAULIC PROCESSING Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC C10G47/00 C10G45/02 

FIELD: oil and gas production.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to method of continuous liquid phase hydraulic processing with implementation of reactor operating under stable mode at specified temperature. The reactor has an upper zone for gas and a considerably larger lower zone for hydrogen dissolved in mixture of liquids surrounding a catalyst. Also, said liquids minimise variations of specified temperature. Total hydrogen required for reactions of hydrofining can be utilised in form of solution due to mixing and/or instantaneous evaporation of hydrogen and refined oil at presence of solvent or thinner wherein solubility of hydrogen is high in comparison with oil crude. Further, solution of oil/thinner/hydrogen is loaded into the reactor of ideal displacement filled with catalyst wherein reaction of oil and hydrogen occurs. Hydrogen added into the reactor can be used for control of level of liquid or for control of pressure in the reactor. Also, the invention refers to the reactor of system for continuous liquid phase hydraulic processing.

EFFECT: big reactors with sprinkled layer can be replaced with considerably smaller reactors due to elimination of hydrogen replenishment; invention improves control temperature in reactor; carburisation of catalyst is practically excluded; formation of light hydrocarbons is decreased.
