Method for producing diesel fuel by moderate pressure hydrocracking

The invention concerns a process for moderate pressure hydrocracking (i.e., at a hydrogen partial pressure of more than 70 bars and at most 100 bars) with a conversion of at least 80% by volume, of a feed with a T5 temperature in the range 250° C. to 400° C. and a T95 temperature of at most 470° C....

Zusammenfassung:The invention concerns a process for moderate pressure hydrocracking (i.e., at a hydrogen partial pressure of more than 70 bars and at most 100 bars) with a conversion of at least 80% by volume, of a feed with a T5 temperature in the range 250° C. to 400° C. and a T95 temperature of at most 470° C. (T5 and T95 measured in accordance with ASTM-D2887), to produce a diesel with a 95% distillation point of less than 360° C., a sulphur content of at most 50 ppm and a cetane number of more than 51. The process operates with or without a recycle of the liquid effluent. Highly advantageously, it can be integrated into a refinery layout comprising catalytic cracking. The invention also concerns a unit for carrying out said process.
