Methods and systems for acoustically-assisted hydroprocessing at low pressure

Hydroprocessing can be performed at low pressure using acoustic energy. For example, hydroprocessing a feedstock having one or more hydrocarbon compounds carried in, or mixed with, a transport gas involves flowing the feedstock through a reaction zone in a reactor that has a bulk pressure less than 68 atm and applying acoustic energy through the reaction zone. The hydrocarbon compounds are chemically reacted with a hydrogen source in the presence of a catalyst, wherein the reacting occurs in the reaction zone. 加氢加工可以在低压下使用声能来实施.例如，加氢加工包含种或多种携带在输送气体中或与之混合的烃化合物的原料涉及通过在反应器中的反应区使原料流过反应器中的反应区，所述反应区具有小于68个大气压的整体压力，贯穿所述反应区施加声能.在催化剂的存在下使烃化合物与氢源进行化学反应，所述反应发生在所述反应区中。
