Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016102302A1] The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for reducing the concentration of heavy polycyclic aromatic compounds (HPNA) in the recycling loop of hydrocracking units, said apparatus including a fractioning column. According to said method, a portion of the flow is drawn off from the fractioning column, which flow is present in the region of at least one tray (I) that is the feed tray or a tray located between the feed tray and said residue discharge point or, if stripping gas is injected, between the feed tray and said stripping gas injection point. A portion, or preferably all, of said flow that has been drawn off is recycled in the hydrocracking step, directly or after optional separation of the gases. The residue is completely purged. In a preferred embodiment, a portion of a flow is furthermore drawn off from the column, which flow is present in the region of at least one tray (II) located between the feed tray and the draw-off tray for the heaviest distillate fraction. After stripping, all or some of the gas is recycled in the column and the liquid is conveyed to the hydrocracking.
