Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of residual oil hydrogenation, and in particular to a residual oil hydrogenation method and a residual oil hydrogenation system. Background Art
[0002] The combination of fixed-bed residue hydrotreating and catalytic cracking is one of the most mature and efficient processes for heavy oil conversion. However, the greatest challenges of fixed-bed residue hydrotreating lie in improving feedstock adaptability and maintaining long-term operation cycles. Currently, the operating cycle of fixed-bed residue hydrotreating units is typically one to two years, which cannot match the three to four-year operating cycle of catalytic cracking units. Frequent shutdowns for residue hydrotreating units severely impact refinery profitability.
[0003] The main factors affecting the operating cycle of a fixed-bed residue oil hydrotreating unit include: (1) catalyst metal (Ni+V) deposition and deactivation; (2) catalyst carbon deposition and deactivation; (3) reactor pressure difference increases beyond the limit; (4) hot spots appear in the catalyst bed, and the local temperature exceeds the limit.
[0004] To address these problems, an effective technical means to extend the operating cycle of the residue hydrotreating unit is to adopt more advanced protection reactor technology.
[0005] CN1484684A discloses a method for hydrotreating heavy hydrocarbon fractions using replaceable and short-circuitable reactors. The method involves hydrotreating heavy hydrocarbon fractions in a first hydrodemetallization section and then in a second hydrodesulfurization section, wherein the effluent from the first section passes through the second hydrodesulfurization section. The hydrodemetallization section is preceded by at least one protected zone. The hydrotreating method comprises the following steps: a) a step in which a protected zone is used; b) a step during which the protected zone is short-circuited and the catalyst contained in the section is regenerated and / or replaced; c) a step during which the protected zone, which has been regenerated and / or replaced, is reconnected; and d) a step in which at least one reactor in the hydrodemetallization section and / or hydrodesulfurization section can be short-circuited and the catalyst contained in the section can be regenerated and / or replaced. This method involves a complex switching process and significantly increases investment.
[0006] CN104119952A discloses a method for hydrotreating hydrocarbon oil, comprising: contacting a hydrocarbon oil feedstock and hydrogen with multiple hydrogenation catalyst beds in a hydrotreating unit; alternating between a primary and a backup hydrotreating reactor, wherein the primary reactor's online time is greater than the backup reactor's. This method utilizes two guard reactors, one large and one small, which improves reactor utilization efficiency, but the reactors are still not always fully utilized.
[0007] CN103059927A discloses a method for hydrotreating heavy oil products. This method removes the first hydrogenation reactor. When the pressure drop in the first hydrogenation reactor reaches an upper limit or the hotspot temperature is too high, the feedstock and hydrogen enter the second hydrogenation reactor, extending the device's operating cycle. This method can cause the guard reactor to be unusable for a long time, and during the complete removal of the guard reactor, there is a risk of overheating.
[0008] CN108018084A discloses a heavy oil hydroprocessing method for improving catalyst utilization. The method employs two parallel reactors in the hydroprocessing pretreatment reaction zone and operates at high temperature, allowing the catalyst in the main reaction zone to be regenerated and reused after one cycle. However, this method does not reduce the number of shutdowns of the residual oil hydroprocessing unit and still seriously impacts the economic benefits of the refinery. Summary of the Invention
[0009] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcoming of the existing hydrogenation method in processing residual oil raw materials, that is, the operating cycle is short.
[0010] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a method for hydrogenating residual oil in a first aspect, the method comprising: introducing a residual oil feedstock into a hydropretreatment reaction zone provided with N reaction units connected in parallel, contacting the feedstock with a hydropretreatment catalyst, and performing a hydropretreatment reaction; introducing the hydropretreatment reaction effluent into a hydrotreatment main reaction zone, contacting the feedstock with a hydrotreatment catalyst, and performing a hydrotreatment reaction;
[0011] Wherein, N is an integer ≥ 2, and
[0012] When the pressure drop of any reactor in the N reaction units connected in parallel in the hydropretreatment reaction zone reaches 60% to 100% of the reactor pressure drop limit value, part of the flow entering the reactor is dynamically introduced into the first reactor downstream of the reactor along the liquid phase flow direction, so that the pressure drop of the reactor is controlled to 0.1 MPa-P max MPa, the P max is the pressure drop limit value of the corresponding reactor.
[0013] A second aspect of the present invention provides a system for hydrogenating residual oil, the system comprising:
[0014] A hydropretreatment reaction zone, for performing a hydropretreatment reaction on a residual oil feedstock, the reaction zone comprising a feed main and N reaction units arranged in parallel, where N is an integer ≥ 2, the feed main and the N parallel reaction units being connected via N feed pipelines, each of the N parallel reaction units being connected in series with at least one fixed-bed reactor, and the feed pipeline of each fixed-bed reactor comprising at least one three-way valve with adjustable opening, the first end of the three-way valve being connected to the feed pipeline of an upstream material, the second end being connected to the feed pipeline of the reaction unit, and the third end being connected to the feed pipeline of the first reaction unit downstream of the reaction unit in the direction of liquid phase flow;
[0015] The reaction effluent from the hydropretreatment reaction zone is introduced into the hydroprocessing main reaction zone through the residue hydropretreatment product pipeline for hydroprocessing reaction. The hydroprocessing main reaction zone is provided with one or at least two reactors connected in series.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the method provided by the present invention has the following advantages:
[0017] (1) The present invention reduces the logistics velocity of each reactor in the hydrogenation pretreatment reaction zone by arranging N reaction units in parallel in the hydrogenation pretreatment reaction zone, thereby reducing the initial pressure drop of each reactor in the hydrogenation pretreatment reaction zone, and at the same time increases the catalyst volume in the hydrogenation pretreatment reaction zone, improves its impurity tolerance capacity, and thus delays the pressure drop increase rate in the hydrogenation pretreatment reaction zone.
[0018] (2) The present invention dynamically adjusts the proportion of materials entering each reactor according to the pressure drop of each reactor in the hydrogenation pretreatment reaction zone, thereby avoiding the risk of overheating during the complete removal of the protective reactor in the conventional removable process. At the same time, all reactors have logistics passing through them during the entire operation cycle, maximizing the role of each reactor.
[0019] (3) The present invention also avoids various problems existing in existing protection reactor technologies, such as short operating cycle, and has the advantages of high reactor utilization, simple operation and long operating cycle. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0091] Residual oil feedstock and hydrogen were sequentially introduced into reactors R1, R2, R3, and R4 for hydroprocessing. After 500 hours of operation, the properties of the hydroprocessing effluent are shown in Table 3. The temperature of the main hydroprocessing reaction zone was then increased during operation to control the sulfur content of the hydroprocessing effluent to no more than 0.45% by weight. When the pressure drop in reactor R1 fell below 0.7 MPa, the three-way valve in front of reactor R1 completely shut down reactor R1, allowing the residual oil feedstock and hydrogen to flow entirely into reactor R2.
