Abstract:
1. A process comprising a step of hydrotreating and/or hydrofining a first feedstream selected from ACN (Atmospheric Crude Naptha), HVN (Heavy Virgin Naptha), kerosene, diesel, LGO (Light Gas Oils), PGO (Process Gas Oils), oligomers produced in a chemical process, a feedstream derived from a GTL process, and mixtures thereof, to obtain a second feedstream comprising C5-C19 hydrocarbon fluids having a boiling range of at least 5° C. and having an aromatics content of at least 500 ppm, contacting said second feedstream with an aromatics saturation catalyst in the presence of a hydrogen-containing treat gas under aromatics saturation conditions effective to produce a distillation fraction product comprising a hydrocarbon fluid having a boiling range of at least 5° C. and comprising less than 100 ppm aromatics, said aromatic saturation conditions including a temperature of about 175 to about 225° C. and a hydrogen partial pressure of less than 1,000 psig, and wherein said aromatics saturation catalyst comprises a hydrogenation-dehydrogenation component comprising Pt and Pd in a weight ratio of 1:2 to 1:4 on a support material comprising MCM-41 and a binder material comprising alumina in a ratio of support material to binder material of from 80:20 to 50:50, and wherein the pore size of the calcined crystalline support is from 15 to 40 Å, and recovering a distillation fraction product.
