The invention discloses a process method for treating
residual oil. A hydrogenation pretreatment unit, a coking device, a hydrogenation
treatment unit and a catalytic
cracking device are provided; the hydrogenation pretreatment unit comprises a hydrogenation pretreatment reaction area and a hydrogenation treatment reaction area; the process method comprises the following steps: performing a reaction on a
residual oil raw material by using the hydrogenation pretreatment unit, and performing oil
fractionation so as to obtain light fraction and heavy fraction, feeding the heavy fraction into the coking device for treatment so as to obtain coked
gasoline, coked diesel oil and coked
wax oil, mixing the light fraction with the coked
wax oil and
hydrogen, passing through the hydrogenation pretreatment reaction area and the hydrogenation treatment reaction area which are connected in series, performing gas-liquid separation on a reaction
effluent of the hydrogenation treatment reaction area, circulating
vapor phase back to the hydrogenation pretreatment reaction area and / or the hydrogenation treatment reaction area, directly feeding
liquid phase into the catalytic
cracking reaction area for a catalytic
cracking reaction, and separating a catalytic
cracking reaction effluent, thereby obtaining a
dry gas, a liquefied gas, catalytic cracking
gasoline fraction, catalytic cracking area diesel oil fraction, catalytic cracking area recirculation oil and catalytic cracking area oil
slurry. Due to adoption of the process method disclosed by the invention, the stable operation period of a device can be prolonged.
