FIELD: oil and gas industry.
SUBSTANCE: invention is related to hydrocarbon oil hydrotreating method using at least the first and second reactors. The method includes (i) contacting of hydrocarbon oil in the first reactor at high temperature and pressure with hydrotreating catalyst in presence of hydrogen-containing gas wherein hydrogen is consumed; (ii) division of the outgoing flow obtained at the stage (i) into partially hydrotreated hydrocarbon oil and contaminated hydrogen-containing gas by means of a steam stripper, wherein the waste hydrogen-containing gas is used as stripping gas; (iii) contacting of partially hydrotreated hydrocarbon oil obtained at the stage (ii) in the second reactor at high temperature and pressure with hydrotreating catalyst in presence of pure hydrogen-containing gas with consumption of this hydrogen, at that at least 80% of hydrogen consumed at the stages (i) and (iii) are replenished by additional pure hydrogen-containing gas supplied to the second reactor; (iv) separation of the product produced at the stage (iii) in the second reactor into hydrotreated hydrocarbon oil and waste hydrogen-containing gas, at that hydrotreated hydrocarbon oil may be extracted as a product, and (v) transporting of at least a part of hydrogen-containing gas obtained at the stage (iv), which has temperature of at least 200°C to perform the stage (ii) while using this gas as stripping gas.
EFFECT: effective usage of waste hydrogen-containing gas promotes minimisation of the required capacity of the compressor, facilitation of steam stripping, improvement of heat usage.
