Abstract:
Techniques for processing residuum include receiving a feed stream that includes a residuum hydrocarbon fraction at an ebullated bed hydroconversion reactor; contacting the residuum hydrocarbon fraction with hydrogen and a hydroconversion catalyst in the ebullated bed hydroconversion reactor to produce a partially converted reactor effluent product; separating, in a first separation zone, the partially converted reactor effluent product into a distillate stream and a heavy hydrocarbon stream; feeding the distillate stream to a bottom portion of an integrated hydrocracking/hydrofinishing reactor; and feeding the heavy hydrocarbon stream to a top portion of the hydrofinishing reactor.

Claim (Index 13):
A residuum processing system, comprising:\n an ebullated bed hydroconversion reactor that comprises an inlet and an outlet; a first separation zone fluidly coupled to the outlet of the ebullated bed hydroconversion reactor; an integrated hydrocracking/hydrofinishing reactor fluidly coupled to the first separation zone; and a control system communicably coupled to the ebullated bed hydroconversion reactor, the first separation zone, and the integrated hydrocracking/hydrofinishing reactor and configured to perform operations comprising:\n circulating a feed stream that comprises a residuum hydrocarbon fraction to the inlet of the ebullated bed hydroconversion reactor; \n operating the ebullated bed hydroconversion reactor to contact the residuum hydrocarbon fraction with hydrogen and a hydroconversion catalyst in the ebullated bed hydroconversion reactor to produce a partially converted reactor effluent product; \n operating the first separation zone to separate the partially converted reactor effluent product into a distillate stream and a heavy hydrocarbon stream; \n circulating the distillate stream to a bottom portion of the integrated hydrocracking/hydrofinishing reactor; \n circulating the heavy hydrocarbon stream to a top portion of the integrated hydrocracking/hydrofinishing reactor; \n feeding an effluent stream from the integrated hydrocracking/hydrofinishing reactor to a second separation zone; \n separating, in a high temperature, high pressure separator of the second separation zone, the effluent stream into a light stream and a heavy oil stream; \n feeding the light stream to a top portion of a polishing hydrotreating reactor; and \n feeding the heavy oil stream to a high temperature, low pressure separator of the second separation zone.
