Title: Procedes et systemes d'hydrotraitement a lit bouillonnant et procedes d'amelioration d'un systeme a lit bouillonnant existant
Inventor: LOTT ROGER K
IPC: C10G65/10
Filed: 2005-04-28
Abstract: L'invention concerne un système d'hydrotraitement à lit bouillonnant et un procédé d'amélioration d'un tel système préexistant. Ledit procédé consiste à introduire un catalyseur colloïdal ou moléculaire ou une composition de précurseur capable de former le catalyseur colloïdal ou moléculaire dans un réacteur à lit bouillonnant. Ledit catalyseur colloïdal ou moléculaire est constitué par mélange intime d'une composition de précurseur catalytique dans une charge de pétrole lourd et par augmentation de la température de la charge à une température supérieure à celle de la décomposition de la composition de précurseur, afin de former le catalyseur colloïdal ou moléculaire in situ. Ledit système d'hydrotraitement à lit bouillonnant amélioré comporte au moins un réacteur à lit bouillonnant utilisant, à la fois, un catalyseur supporté poreux et le catalyseur colloïdal ou moléculaire de manière à catalyser des réactions d'hydrotraitement impliquant la charge et l'hydrogène. Le catalyseur colloïdal ou moléculaire produit un catalyseur dans ce qui, autrement, constituerait des zones exemptes de catalyseur à l'intérieur du système d'hydrotraitement à lit bouillonnant. Des molécules d'asphaltène et d'hydrocarbure différent trop grosses pour se diffuser dans les pores du catalyseur supporté peuvent être améliorées au moyen du catalyseur colloïdal ou moléculaire. Un réacteur en phase humide peut être placé en amont d'au moins un réacteur à lit bouillonnant ou converti à partir d'un réacteur à lit bouillonnant préexistant.

Abstract: La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé de criblage d'un composé candidat permettant de déceler une susceptibilité à l'excrétion biliaire par une protéine de transport des hépatocytes. Ce procédé comprend les étapes consistant à se doter d'une culture d'hépatocytes comprenant une protéine de transport, ladite culture ayant au moins une canalicule biliaire; à exposer un composé candidat à cette culture; et à déterminer la quantité du composé candidat dans ledit ou lesdits canalicules biliaires, la quantité du composé candidat dans ledit ou lesdits canalicules biliaires indiquant la susceptibilité du composé candidat à l'excrétion biliaire par la protéine de transport. Dans certains modes de réalisation, la détermination de la quantité du composé candidat dans le canalicule biliaire consiste à inhiber l'expression de la protéine de transport, à mesurer la quantité du composé candidat dans le canalicule biliaire et à comparer les quantités du composé dans les canalicules avec et sans inhibition de la protéine de transport. Une différence de la quantité du composé candidat dans le canalicule indique une susceptibilité du composé candidat à l'excrétion biliaire par la protéine de transport. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'expression de la protéine de transport est inhibée au moyen de l'introduction d'un ARN ayant une séquence correspondant à un brin codant du gène codant la protéine de transport dans l'hépatocyte. Eventuellement, la culture des hépatocytes est une culture à long terme dans une configuration en sandwich. Ce procédé s'avère particulièrement adapté au criblage de multiples composés candidats en une seule fois.
