Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heavy oil processing, and in particular to a method, device, electronic equipment and storage medium for predicting the deposition rate of heavy oil dirt. Background Art

[0002] Heavy oil is prone to scaling during refinery processing, severely impacting the stable, long-term operation of the unit. Changes in process operating parameters and feed composition significantly influence the rate of scaling deposition. Therefore, understanding the scaling characteristics of heavy oil is crucial for efficient heavy oil processing. Accurate scaling models can guide heavy oil processing. In recent years, numerous researchers have systematically studied the scaling characteristics of heavy oil, some of which have been applied to actual production, achieving considerable progress.

[0003] Heavy oil itself has a complex composition, and scaling is caused by a variety of factors, including suspended impurity particles, oxidized colloids, and asphaltenes. However, asphaltenes deposition is generally considered the primary factor. Besides being influenced by its composition, high-temperature scaling of heavy oil is also affected by operating conditions such as temperature and flow rate. In the process of generating thermal resistance to fouling, mass transfer, heat transfer, and chemical reactions interact, collectively determining the rate of fouling development.

[0004] Although there is currently a lack of characterization standards for heavy oil fouling, a lot of experimental work has been carried out to study heavy oil fouling, and various factors affecting fouling have been identified and studied. Among them, heavy oil composition, flow rate, surface temperature and bulk temperature are important factors affecting the fouling rate.

[0005] Based on experimental research, mathematical models for predicting fouling in various complex situations have been established, including theoretical, semi-empirical, and empirical models. Ebert and Panchal introduced the concept of threshold fouling, below which the fouling growth rate is zero or very low. Ebert and Panchal proposed a semi-empirical fouling thermal resistance deposition rate model:

[0006]

[0007] Among them, R f is the fouling thermal resistance, Re is the Reynolds number, E is the reaction activation energy, α, β, γ are model parameters (regression coefficients), R is the gas constant, T f is the film temperature, τ w is the shear stress. The first term in the model (M1) represents the deposition rate of fouling on the heat transfer surface, while the second term represents the removal rate due to the wall shear stress. The net fouling rate is the deposition rate minus the removal rate.

[0008] Panchal and colleagues introduced the Prandtl number (P r) Considering the thermal properties of heavy oil, the model (M1) is improved as follows:

[0009]

[0010] However, the above models still have some problems. For example, according to Model (M1) and Model (M2), as the film temperature T f Or surface temperature T s As the temperature T increases, the fouling rate increases monotonically. This has been very effectively supported by many experimental studies, but there are also cases where the opposite is true. Data published in existing literature have observed that the fouling rate does increase with the membrane temperature T. f The first term in the above model, representing the effect of reaction kinetics on the thermal resistance of fouling, only incorporates the Arrhenius equation and does not fully consider mass transfer, which in many cases controls fouling. These issues lead to inaccurate predictions of heavy oil fouling deposition rates in existing models, making it impossible to accurately guide actual production processes such as heavy oil processing based on these predictions.

[0051] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but it should be understood that the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments.

[0052] Unless expressly stated otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the term “comprise” or variations such as “include” or “comprising” will be understood to include the stated elements or components but not to exclude other elements or components.

Therefore, the exemplary term "below" can include both below and above directions.

[0054] In this document, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used to distinguish two different elements or parts, and are not used to limit specific positions or relative relationships. In other words, in some embodiments, the terms "first", "second", etc. can also be interchangeable with each other.

[0055] Scaling in heavy oil processing, particularly in its heat exchange networks, has become one of the most prominent issues in the refining industry. Accurately predicting heavy oil fouling could mitigate fouling by controlling heat exchanger tube temperature, wall shear stress, or other process parameters. This could also provide early warning and enable appropriate measures before significant changes in thermal resistance disrupt production, thereby preventing safety accidents caused by fouling.

[0056] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, a method for predicting the fouling deposition rate of heavy oil includes the following steps: obtaining on-site monitoring data and equipment parameters; performing regression processing on a fouling thermal resistance deposition rate model based on the obtained on-site monitoring data and equipment parameters; and predicting the fouling deposition rate of heavy oil based on the fouling thermal resistance deposition rate model after the regression processing. The fouling thermal resistance deposition rate model proposed in the present invention is as follows:

[0057]

[0058] Among them, C W is the concentration of fouling precursors on the fouling deposition wall, F p is the reaction probability coefficient, Pr is the Prandtl number, E is the reaction activation energy, R is the gas constant, T f is the film temperature, τ w is the shear stress, and α, β, ε and γ are all regression coefficients. The fouling thermal resistance deposition rate model (M3) of the present invention is controlled by the mass transfer rate and reaction kinetics. On the basis of the existing model, the fouling precursor concentration C on the fouling deposition wall is considered to be affected by the mass transfer rate. W Instead of the Reynolds number Re, it can more accurately reflect the influence of dirt deposition; the reaction activation energy E is determined by the reaction probability coefficient F considering the ash content, asphaltene content and gelling ability of the oil. p Correction to better adapt to the changes in dirt deposition in a large temperature range of complex oil systems.

[0059] Furthermore, in one or more exemplary embodiments of the present invention, a method for describing the mass transfer rate of asphaltene deposition on a dirt deposit wall is provided. In the process of asphaltene transforming into dirt, asphaltene colloids first diffuse from the oil product to the boundary layer of the deposit wall, and then diffuse from the boundary layer to the dirt deposit wall. Some asphaltene colloids adhere to the wall surface and undergo a coking chemical reaction to become dirt. The concentration of dirt precursors C on the dirt deposit wall is W It can be expressed as:

[0060]

[0061] Among them, C b is the concentration of fouling precursor in the concentration boundary layer, k is the first-order rate constant of the fouling precursor coking kinetics, K mis the characteristic mass transfer rate, and A is the dirt deposition area.

[0062] Furthermore, in one or more exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the characteristic mass transfer rate K m It can be expressed as:

[0063]

[0064] Where z is the wetted radius, C is the asphaltene colloid concentration, and C sm is the logarithmic mean of asphaltene colloid concentration and boundary layer precursor concentration, and D is the asphaltene diffusion coefficient.

[0065] Furthermore, in one or more exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the reaction probability coefficient characterizes the probability of asphaltene colloids depositing on the deposition wall to react, and takes into account the solubility of asphaltene colloids in oil products and the dirt tendency of oil products. The reason why asphaltene is separated from oil products may be that the protective effect of the colloid on the asphaltene is weakened due to the change in intermolecular forces when different oil products are mixed, and the asphaltene cannot be maintained in a dispersed state in the oil products. It may also be that the content of colloids and aromatic components that play a protective role on asphaltene in the system after mixing is relatively small. In addition, in actual production, polar components such as heteroatoms and metals contained in oil products are more likely to react to form coke at high temperatures and deposit on equipment. Dissolved oxygen in heavy oil will promote the oxidation reaction of oil products at high temperatures. In addition, the iron ions and copper ions in heavy oil have a certain dehydrogenation effect, and dissolved oxygen will trigger the dehydrogenation reaction of metal ions. Taking the above-mentioned influencing factors into consideration, the reaction probability coefficient F p It can be expressed as:

[0066]

[0067] Among them, ASP is asphaltene content, FPI is fouling tendency index, R a =1-P a is the asphaltene melting demand, P a Indicates the ability of asphaltene to maintain dispersion, P o Indicates the melting ability of the oil phase.

[0068] Further, in one or more exemplary embodiments of the present invention, P a and P o It can be obtained by the heavy oil compatibility test P value method. The basic steps of this method are to dissolve the residual oil to be tested in an aromatic solvent (e.g., toluene), and then titrate with a normal alkane (e.g., n-heptane) until phase separation occurs. Calculate the amount of aromatic solvent, normal alkane, and oil sample consumed in this process. Calculate the P value, Pa value, and P value of each oil sample based on the calculation results. o Value. P=P o / R a =P o / (1-P a ), where P represents the ratio between the peptization capacity of the oil phase in the system and the peptization demand of the asphaltene. The P value can be understood as an indicator of the probability of fouling. As the P value decreases, heavy oil becomes more susceptible to fouling. However, the presence of other foulants (clay, dirt, sand, or olefins) or foulant precursors (olefins, sulfur compounds, etc.) can also reduce or enhance fouling potential.

[0069] Further, in one or more exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the fouling tendency of the heavy oil component is related to the S BN -I N , ASP, TBN, and the concentrations of Ni and V. These properties are summarized into a single fouling tendency index FPI:

[0070]

[0071] Among them, S BN is the solubility mixing number, I N is the insoluble number, ASP is the asphaltene content, TBN is the total base number, Ni is the nickel content in heavy oil, and V is the vanadium content in heavy oil. FPI is dimensionless, in which the values of all attributes are normalized and the value of each attribute is less than or equal to 1. FPI includes two competing terms, the first bracketed term represents fouling, and the second bracketed term represents fouling inhibition. FPI is S BN -I N A strongly nonlinear decreasing function of .

[0072] The following describes in more detail the method, apparatus, memory, and device for predicting the heavy oil fouling deposition rate of the present invention by way of specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments are merely exemplary and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0073] Example 1

[0074] The following is an example of the crude oil preheating network of a domestic company's 1 million tons / year ethylene and supporting project's 10 million tons / year atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit. The unit is designed to process a mixture of 20% each of Saudi light, Saudi medium, Saudi heavy, Basra light, and Kuwait crude oil, with a processing capacity of 10 million tons / year and an annual operating hours of 8,400 hours.

[0075] The crude oil is pumped into the unit from the crude oil tank area outside the unit and is divided into two routes: the crude oil before degassing enters the crude oil-normal top circulation heat exchanger (501-E-107E), crude oil-normal top oil and gas heat exchanger (501-E-101A), crude oil-reduced top circulation (1) heat exchanger (501-E-201A), crude oil-normal third line heat exchanger (501-E-106G / H), crude oil-normal first line heat exchanger (501-E-104A), crude oil-normal first middle line heat exchanger (501-E-108D), crude oil-reduced second line heat exchanger (501-E-202N / O) to exchange heat to 130℃. The crude oil heat exchange route 2 before degassing is further divided into two routes. The first route enters the crude oil-normal line 1 heat exchanger (501-E-104B) and the crude oil-normal top oil and gas heat exchanger (501-E-101B) in succession; the second route enters the crude oil-reduced top circulation heat exchanger (501-E-201B) and the crude oil-normal top oil and gas heat exchanger (501-E-101C) in succession and then merges with the first route, and enters the crude oil-normal line 2 (3) heat exchanger (501-E-105C), the crude oil-normal top circulation heat exchanger (501-E-107A~D), the crude oil-reduced line 3 heat exchanger (501-E-203G), and the crude oil-reduced slag heat exchanger (501-E-205K / L) in succession to exchange heat to 136℃. After the two crude oil streams are combined, the heat exchange temperature reaches 134°C before entering the electric desalter (501-D-101A / B) for desalting and dehydration. The desalted crude oil is then divided into three streams and enters the desalted crude oil heat exchange system. The desalted crude oil heat exchange system enters the desalted oil-minimized first-line heat exchanger (501-E-202G~J), the desalted oil-normalized second-line heat exchanger (501-E-105A), and the desalted oil-minimized second-line heat exchanger (501-E-202K~M) for heat exchange to 217°C. The desalted crude oil enters the desalted oil-normal second line heat exchanger (501-E-105B), the desalted oil-normal third line heat exchanger (501-E-106E / F), the desalted oil-normal first middle heat exchanger (501-E-108A), the desalted oil-mineralization first middle heat exchanger (501-E-202E / F), and the desalted oil-mineralization slag heat exchanger (501-E-205F~H) for heat exchange to 221℃. The three heat exchange routes for the desalted crude oil are sequentially fed into the desalted oil-to-Changyizhong heat exchanger (501-E-108B / C), the desalted oil-to-reduction line heat exchanger (501-E-203F), the desalted oil-to-reduction slag heat exchanger (501-E-205I / J), the desalted oil-to-reduction line heat exchanger (501-E-202C / D), and the desalted oil-to-Changyizhong heat exchanger (501-E-106C / D) for heat exchange to 225°C. The three heat exchange routes for the desalted crude oil are then combined and fed into the desalted oil-to-reduction slag heat exchanger (501-E-205D / E) for heat exchange to 232°C, completing crude oil preheating.

[0076] In the crude oil preheating network of this atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit, the desalted oil-residue heat exchanger (501-E-205D / E) has the highest temperature and the most severe fouling, significantly impacting the energy consumption of the entire unit. This example uses the heavy oil fouling rate prediction method of the present invention to predict the heavy oil fouling rate in the desalted oil-residue heat exchanger (501-E-205D / E).

[0077] Combine Figure 1 As shown, the process of the heavy oil fouling deposition rate prediction method according to this embodiment is as follows:

[0078] S110 acquires on-site monitoring data and equipment parameters. The on-site monitoring data is acquired by accessing the DCS system of the crude oil preheating network of the atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit.

[0079] S120 performs data reconciliation on the acquired field monitoring data. Data reconciliation can use optimization methods to minimize the measurement error of each process variable. Mass and energy balances, as well as additional process requirements, can be used as constraints. For example, through the covariance matrix The difference between the measured value and the harmonic value Weighted constraints are then weighted and, depending on the linearity of the constraints, the optimization problem is solved using techniques such as nonlinear programming, successive linearization, or principal component analysis. Successive linearization is a viable approach due to its faster computational time than nonlinear programming solvers and the simplicity of the matrix-based simulation model. When all process variables are measured, the solution to the linearized data coordination problem is expressed as follows:

[0080]

[0081] Among them, J y is the Jacobian matrix of the equality constraint, at the decision point and b y The evaluation is defined as It uses an iterative process to solve the data reconciliation problem until a certain tolerance is met, but it only works if the data does not contain grotesque errors. When these errors are taken into account, the above solution is combined with a grotesque detection process that identifies and estimates the size and location of single and multiple grotesque errors by searching all possible combinations and selecting the one with the smallest measurement error.

[0082] S130 uses the coordinated on-site monitoring data and equipment parameters to simulate the heat exchange network and obtain the fluid's physical properties and heat exchange process parameters. This step requires the input of actual equipment parameters such as on-site equipment specifications. The simulation can be performed using either a custom model or established commercial software. In this example, Aspen HYSYS software was used to build the crude oil preheating network for the atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit, and Aspen EDR was used to calculate the specific heat exchange parameters of the heat exchangers.

[0083] S140 uses Aspen EDR to calculate the heat exchange process of the heat exchanger based on the calculated physical properties of the fluid, heat exchange process parameters, and equipment parameters. It also calculates the real-time fouling thermal resistance value of the heat exchanger. The fouling thermal resistance values obtained in real time at different times are saved as an actual fouling thermal resistance value sequence. The fouling thermal resistance deposition rate model is regressed to obtain the regression coefficient in the fouling thermal resistance deposition rate model. This regression coefficient should have the smallest error relative to the actual fouling thermal resistance value sequence over a certain period of time (usually about one year).

[0084] S150 predicts the heavy oil fouling deposition rate based on the fouling thermal resistance deposition rate model after regression processing.

[0085] In this embodiment, field monitoring data and equipment parameters are collected every 3 seconds, Aspen HYSYS software and Aspen EDR heat exchange calculations are called every 30 seconds, and the regression coefficients in the fouling thermal resistance deposition rate model are regressed every 2 hours. After obtaining the regression coefficients of the fouling thermal resistance deposition rate model, the fouling thermal resistance deposition rate model is used to predict the fouling situation of the heat exchanger in the next 1 to 12 months.

[0086] In this embodiment, the fouling thermal resistance deposition rate model (M3) is used:

[0087]

[0088] like Figure 2 As shown, the fouling thermal resistance curve of the desalted oil-residue heat exchanger (501-E-205D / E) predicted by the fouling thermal resistance deposition rate model (M3) in this embodiment is relatively consistent with the actual situation; the fouling thermal resistance curves of the desalted oil-residue heat exchanger (501-E-205D / E) predicted by the models (M1) and (M2) in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 deviate greatly from the actual situation, and are particularly unable to predict the long-term changes in the fouling thermal resistance.

[0091] Comparative Example 2
