The invention discloses a
gasoline hydrogenation process start-up method which comprises the following steps: (1) in a
gasoline hydrogenation reactor, sequentially arranging 1-n hydrofining catalyst
bed layers from a raw oil inlet to a raw oil outlet, and filling sulfurized hydrofining catalysts in the hydrofining catalyst
bed layers; (2) increasing the temperature of the reactor to a
passivation temperature, introducing
gasoline and
hydrogen carrier mixed oil from a raw oil inlet, carrying out
passivation treatment, introducing cold oil or cold
hydrogen at an inlet of the (2-n) th
bed layer in the
passivation treatment process, controlling the temperature of the inlet of each bed layer, and carrying out passivation treatment for 0.5-2 hours; (3) after passivating treatment is finished, introducing a
hydrogen carrier from a raw oil inlet, and carrying out activity
recovery treatment; and (4) switching the raw oil, and carrying out gasoline
hydrogenation reaction to produce a qualified product. According to the method, passivation, activity
recovery and bed temperature rise are combined, and excessive loss of catalyst activity is avoided during passivation, so that the operation cycle of a device is prolonged.
