MUMBAI, India, Sept. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202441016311 A) filed by Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited, Bengaluru, Karnataka, on March 7, 2024, for 'a process for conversion of hydrocracked pitch.'
Inventor(s) include Raja, Kanuparthy Naga; and Pudi, Satyanarayana Murty.
The application for the patent was published on Sept. 12, under issue no. 37/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to a process for conversion of hydrocracked pitch into distillates in a slurry hydro-conversion reactor in presence of hydrogen gas with recycling of a hydrocracked pitch residue to achieve improved overall conversion and minimize fresh addition of catalyst. The slurry hydro-conversion of hydrocracked vacuum residue along with recycle of hydrocracked pitch residue (4d) provides improved overall conversion of 97% with very less yield of 3 wt.% pitch ( 540 C) along with distillates (C6+ - 370 C) in a yield of 55 wt.% and VGO (370 - 540 C) in a yield of 28.3 wt.%. The recycling of hydrocracked pitch residue back to slurry hydro-conversion reactor facilitates the minimization of the addition of fresh catalyst to the reactor section."
