METHODS FOR PROCESSING LIQUID ORGANIC HYDROGEN CARRIERS

Abstract: one or more liquid organic hydrogen carriers may be processed by a method that includes passing one or more hydrogen-diminished liquid organic hydrogen carriers and hydrogen into a hydrogenation reactor to form a hydrogenation reactor effluent. the hydrogenation reactor effluent may include one or more hydrogen-rich liquid organic hydrogen carriers and unreacted hydrogen. the method may further include passing the hydrogenation reactor effluent from the hydrogenation reactor to a separation unit and separating at least the one or more hydrogen-rich liquid organic hydrogen carriers from the unreacted hydrogen in the separation unit. the method may further include passing at least a naphtha feed and the unreacted hydrogen to a naphtha hydrotreater to produce a hydrotreater effluent that includes a hydrotreated naphtha.
