Problems solved by technology

While the confinement and stabilization of reaction intermediates in the micropores leads to higher reaction rates, secondary cracking reactions may occur and desorption becomes the rate-limiting step

[0063] Catalyst Preparation and Activation

[0064]The size and shape of the zeolite support can be those normally used in industrial scale hydrocracking. These are usually cylindrical, three-lobe, quadru-lobe, or spherical and range in size from 1 / 10 inch (2.54×10 -3 m) to 1 / 20 inch (1.27×10 -3 m). To produce extrudates with the desired abrasion resistance, zeolites are typically mixed with small amounts of alumina binders and peptizers. In the laboratory-scale experiments of the present invention, mechanical abrasion was not an issue, and extrudates or pellets from compressed powders were interchangeable. The pellets or extrudates are of the same size as those used in industrial scale reactors. In one example, H-MFI-90 zeolite powder (Clariant, formerly Südchemie, commercial sample) was extruded into cylindrical pellets with dimensions 1.25 x 3-4 mm. In another example, HY zeolite (CBV760, Zeolyst commercial sample) powder was squeezed into about 1 g of zeolite powder...

Embodiment 1

[0103] Example 1: Effect of increased gas flow rate and lower space velocity on hydrocracking of waxes over Pt / MFI to form middle distillates at 20 bar

[0104] figure 1 shows LHSV 1.0h -1 (1g catalyst), in H 2 / wax=10,000 v / v (200mL / min H 2 ), at 235°C-265°C, and at H 2 / wax=1,000 v / v (20mL / min H 2 ), 245°C-275°C, the effect of hydrogen partial pressure on the hydrocracking of waxy feeds to form middle distillates at 20 bar on Pt / MFI with 2 wt.% Pt. At high gas flow rates (H 2 / wax=10,000 volume / volume), change the space velocity from LHSV 1.0h -1 reduced to 0.1h -1 results in figure 1 It was confirmed in the results that the temperature is lower: between 205°C and 223°C.

[0105] Typical industrial process conditions for wax hydrocracking over amorphous silica-alumina catalysts include: pressures of 35 bar and higher, temperatures of at least 350 °C, and liquid hourly space velocity of 1.0 h -1 and H 2 / Raw material volume ratio is 1,000m 3 / m 3 . from figure...

Embodiment 2

[0108] Example 2: Hydrocracking over Pt / MFI at 20 bar and atmospheric pressure (dry and wet)

[0109] figure 2 Shown are the results of hydrocracking to form middle distillates over a Pt / MFI catalyst containing 2 wt.% Pt. The experiment is at 0.1h -1 Under the liquid hourly space velocity (LHSV), and use 20g catalyst, 200mL / min H 2 , 0.02mL / min wax feed (H 2 / wax=10,000 v / v) and 0.02 mL / min of H 2 O is used for wet experiments. The temperature range is 205°C-225°C (dry) at 20 bar, 215°C-240°C (wet) at 20 bar; and the temperature range is 200°C-215°C (dry and wet) at 1 bar.

[0110] from figure 2 It can be seen that the middle distillate selectivity increases significantly at all conversions after the introduction of water in the 20 bar hydrocracking experiments. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that this can be explained by competitive adsorption of water. However, the selectivity is still too low for industrial-scale hydrocracking.

Abstract

The present invention provides for a low pressure, low temperature process for the production of middle distillate products, including aviation fuel and diesel, from the hydrocracking of a hydrocarbon feedstock consisting of a mixture of hydrocarbons, wherein a significant fraction of the mixture is C25+ hydrocarbons including hydrocarbons selected from Fischer-Tropsch wax, long chain paraffin and / or olefin, and the feedstock may include a water component.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a low pressure, low temperature process for the production of middle distillate products, including aviation fuel and diesel, by hydrocracking hydrocarbon feedstocks. In particular, but not exclusively, the present invention relates to low pressure hydrocracking of hydrocarbon feedstocks comprising substantial C25+ hydrocarbon moieties, including Fischer-Tropsch waxes, long chain paraffins and long chain olefins, wherein the feedstock may contain a water component. Background technique [0002] Pressure, both total pressure and hydrogen partial pressure, is the single largest cost of hydrocrackers in a modern refinery, including both the recurring costs of compressing new and recycled hydrogen and the huge capital expenditures required to build the hydrocracker. The latter is why about 40% of global refineries do not own and are unwilling to invest in hydrocracking technology, especially as the tide turns against the CO...
