Abstract:
A method for producing a diesel having improved cold flow properties, the method comprising the steps of introducing a crude oil to a distillation column, separating the crude oil in the distillation unit to produce a light gas oil, and a light vacuum gas oil, where the light gas oil has a T95% cut point in the range between 300 deg C. and 340 deg C., where the light vacuum gas oil has a T95% cut point in the range between 400 deg C. and 430 deg C., processing the light vacuum gas oil in the supercritical water unit to produce an upgraded vacuum gas oil, separating the upgraded vacuum gas oil in the fractionator to produce an upgraded light fraction, an upgraded light gas oil, and upgraded heavy fraction, introducing the upgraded light gas oil into a diesel pool, and blending the light gas oil into the diesel pool.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for producing a diesel having improved cold flow properties, the method comprising the steps of:\n introducing a crude oil to a distillation column; separating the crude oil in the distillation unit to produce a light gas oil, and a light vacuum gas oil, where the light gas oil has a T95% cut point in the range between 300 deg C. and 340 deg C., where the light vacuum gas oil has a T95% cut point in the range between 400 deg C. and 430 deg C.; introducing the light gas oil to a gas oil hydrodesulfurization unit, where the gas oil hydrodesulfurization unit operates at a temperature in the range between 300 deg C. and 420 deg C., where the gas oil hydrodesulfurization unit operates at a pressure between 100 psig and 1050 psig, where the gas oil hydrodesulfurization unit operates at a liquid hourly space velocity between 0.5 h \u22121  and 6 h \u22121 , where the gas oil hydrodesulfurization unit comprises a hydrodesulfurization catalyst; processing the light gas oil in the gas oil hydrodesulfurization unit to produce a desulfurized light gas oil; introducing the light vacuum gas oil to a supercritical upgrading unit; processing the light vacuum gas oil in the supercritical water unit to produce an upgraded vacuum gas oil; introducing the upgraded vacuum gas oil to an upgrading hydrodesulfurization unit, where the upgrading hydrodesulfurization unit operates at a temperature in the range between 300 deg C. and 420 deg C., where the upgrading hydrodesulfurization unit operates at a pressure between 100 psig and 1050 psig, where the upgrading hydrodesulfurization unit operates at a liquid hourly space velocity between 0.5 h \u22121  and 6 h \u22121 , where the upgrading hydrodesulfurization unit comprises a hydrodesulfurization catalyst; processing the upgraded vacuum gas oil in the hydrodesulfurization unit to produce a desulfurized vacuum gas oil; introducing the desulfurized vacuum gas oil to a fractionator; separating the desulfurized vacuum gas oil in the fractionator to produce an upgraded light fraction, an upgraded light gas oil, and upgraded heavy fraction; introducing the upgraded light gas oil into a diesel pool, where the diesel pool comprises diesel; and blending the desulfurized light gas oil into the diesel pool.
