Novel bubbling bed reactor

Abstract

The invention discloses a new fluidized bed hydrogenation reactor. The fluidized bed hydrogenation reactor of the invention comprises a cylinder-shaped reactor shell perpendicular to the ground, a three-phase separator arranged at the upper part in the reactor shell and a guiding structure arranged at the middle upper part of the reactor. The guiding structure is an annular convex structure arranged on the inner wall of the reactor and has the lengthwise section of a trapezoid or an arc along the axle of the reactor. The combination of the guiding structure and the three-phase separator increases the operating flexibility of the three-phase separator, and ensures the high-efficiency separation on the three-phase separator, thereby greatly reducing the carrying amount of catalyst. The fluidized bed hydrogenation reactor of the invention can be applied to the chemical reactions between different liquids or gases and solid grains under the condition of contacting, and is characterized by large catalyst inventory, high reactor utility ratio, etc.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a gas-liquid-solid three-phase ebullating bed reactor, in particular to an improved three-phase ebullating bed hydrogenation reactor for chemical reactions of different kinds of liquid and gas substances in contact with solid particles . Background technique [0002] The ebullated bed reactor is a three-phase fluidized bed of gas, liquid and solid, which can process heavy and low-quality feedstock oil with high metal and high asphaltene content. It has the advantages of small pressure drop, uniform temperature distribution, and constant catalyst activity throughout the operation cycle. , Can add fresh catalyst and take out spent catalyst during operation. [0003] A typical fluidized bed process is described in US Re 25,770, but this process method has the following disadvantages in practical application: the amount of catalyst storage in the reactor is small, and the space utilization rate of the reactor is low; the maintenan...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] A typical fluidized bed process is described in US Re 25,770, but this process method has the following disadvantages in practical application: the amount of catalyst storage in the reactor is small, and the space utilization rate of the reactor is low; the maintenance cost of the circulating oil pump is high, and once Malfunction and damage of the circulating oil pump will cause the catalyst to sink and accumulate, resulting in the forced shutdown of the device; the liquid product in the reactor stays for too long under non-catalytic hydrogenation conditions, and it is easy to undergo secondary thermal cracking reaction at high temperature Coking reduces product quality

The three-phase separator introduced in this patent has a small operating flexibility at the outlet of the three-phase separator and the outlet of the reactor. The catalyst separated by the three-phase separator will stick to the outlet of the catalyst, and the phenomenon of cross-gas is likely to occur at the outlet of the catalyst, which affects the The separation effect of the three-phase separator, and the catalyst brought out is easy to block the downstream device, which is not conducive to the long-term operation of the device
