AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, with the shortage of oil resources and the increase in the weight of crude oil, the heavyification of catalytic cracking feedstock leads to increased coking in the two-stage system, resulting in blockage of the cyclone separator feed legs and jamming of the wing valves. When dealing with the spilled feedstock, it is necessary to shut down the plant to remove the coking, which is costly and risky.
By installing high-temperature and high-pressure resistant pipelines in the system and using steam purging and depressurization methods, the force direction of the coke blocks in the cyclone separator's material legs and wing valves is changed, enabling coke removal operations without shutdown.
It effectively flushes the material legs and wing valves, reducing processing costs and risks, avoiding environmental and personnel harm, and is easy to operate.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the treatment of coking in petroleum catalytic cracking feedstock, specifically a method for treating runoff from the settling tank of a parallel two-stage system with equal height. Background Technology
[0002] With the scarcity of petroleum resources and the increasing weight of crude oil, the continuous enrichment of feedstock in catalytic cracking has exacerbated coking in the two-stage catalytic cracking system. This also easily leads to blockage of the feed legs in the cyclone separator and jamming of the wing valves, resulting in catalyst leakage in the settling tank. Currently, the basic method for handling catalyst leakage is to shut down the plant and clean the coke, which is costly and risky. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the above issues and overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for handling catalyst leakage in the settling tank of a parallel two-stage catalytic cracking system. This method effectively solves the problem of increased coking in the two-stage system due to the scarcity of petroleum resources and the increasing weight of crude oil, leading to the continuous enrichment of catalytic cracking feedstock. This coking also easily causes blockage of the cyclone separator feed legs and jamming of the wing valves, ultimately resulting in catalyst leakage from the settling tank. Currently, the basic method for handling catalyst leakage is mainly shutdown and coking removal, which is costly and risky.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: The present invention includes a settling tank, a coking tank, a regenerator, a fractionation tower, a waiting slide valve, a cyclone separator, and pipelines. A cyclone separator is installed at the top of the settling tank, and the cyclone separator is connected to the fractionation tower through a pipeline. The bottom of the settling tank is connected to the coking tank through a pipeline, and a regenerator is installed at the top of the coking tank.
[0005] According to the above technical solution: a pre-cooking slide valve is installed on the pipeline between the settling device and the coking tank.
[0006] According to the above technical solution: the pipeline between the fractionation tower and the cyclone separator is a component made of high temperature and high pressure resistant material.
[0007] According to the above technical solution: a discharge pipe is provided at the top of the regenerator.
[0008] A method for handling the leakage of settler in a parallel two-stage settling tank system of the same height includes the following steps:
[0009] 1) The two-device system cuts material and uses coke oven fuel oil to maintain bed temperature. The fractionation tower is changed to self-circulation, the amount of steam in the settling tank is increased, and the settling tower is continuously purged for hours to drive all the oil and gas in the settling tank to the low-pressure gas system and reduce safety hazards.
[0010] 2) Close the waiting slide valve. After the settling tank is pressurized to 200 kPa, it is quickly depressurized to the low-pressure gas system through the fractionation tower, so that the steam in the settling tank is blown from bottom to top, thereby loosening the coke blocks in the cyclone separator wing valve or material leg.
[0011] A method for handling the leakage of settler in a parallel two-stage settling tank system of the same height includes the following steps:
[0012] 1) The two-device system cuts material and uses coke oven fuel oil to maintain bed temperature. The fractionation tower is changed to self-circulation, the amount of steam in the settling tank is increased, and the settling tower is continuously purged for hours to drive all the oil and gas in the settling tank to the low-pressure gas system and reduce safety hazards.
[0013] 2) The settling tank and fractionation tower are pressurized with steam to 200 kPa. The waiting slide valve is quickly opened to release pressure into the coke burner, and then the pressure is released through the regenerator to the flue gas waste heat recovery and flue gas desulfurization system. In this way, a large amount of steam will flow from the fractionation tower into the cyclone separator through the oil and gas line and rush towards the cyclone separator inlet and material leg. Then it will reach the wing valve and rush out. After the waiting slide valve is opened and closed to release pressure quickly, the steam will blow from top to bottom, changing the force direction of the coke and achieving the purpose of flushing the material leg and wing valve.
[0014] Beneficial effects: This invention achieves the purpose of flushing the material legs and wing valves by changing the force direction on the coke blockage in the cyclone separator material legs and wing valves, thereby realizing the purpose of treating the runoff of the settler in the parallel two-stage system with the same height. It has low processing cost, low risk, and convenient operation, avoiding environmental hazards and operator injury. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Example 1, by Figure 1-3 The present invention provides an apparatus for treating the runoff from the settling tank of a parallel two-tank system of the same height, comprising a settling tank 1, a coking tank 2, a regenerator 3, a fractionation tower 4, a waiting slide valve 5, a cyclone separator 6, and a pipeline 7. The top of the settling tank 1 is equipped with the cyclone separator 6, which is connected to the fractionation tower 4 via the pipeline. The bottom of the settling tank 1 is connected to the coking tank 2 via the pipeline 7, and the top of the coking tank 2 is equipped with the regenerator 3.
[0022] A pre-cooking slide valve 5 is installed on the pipe 7 between the settling tank 1 and the coking tank 2.
[0023] The pipe between the fractionation tower 4 and the cyclone separator 6 is made of a high-temperature and high-pressure resistant material.
[0024] The top of the regenerator 3 is equipped with a discharge pipe.
[0025] A method for handling the leakage of settler in a parallel two-stage settling tank system of the same height includes the following steps:
[0026] 1) The two-stage system cuts material and uses the burning oil in the coke oven 2 to maintain the bed temperature. The fractionation tower 4 is changed to self-circulation. The amount of steam in the settling tank 1 is increased and the settling tower 4 is continuously purged for 2 hours to drive all the oil and gas in the settling tank 1 to the low-pressure gas system and reduce safety hazards.
[0027] 2) After closing the waiting slide valve 5, the pressure of the settling tank 1 is increased to 200 kPa and then quickly depressurized to the low-pressure gas system through the fractionation tower 4, so that the steam in the settling tank 1 is blown from bottom to top, thereby loosening the coke blocks in the wing valve or material leg of the cyclone separator 6.
[0028] A method for handling the leakage of settler in a parallel two-stage settling tank system of the same height includes the following steps:
[0029] 1) The two-stage system cuts material and uses the burning oil in the coke oven 2 to maintain the bed temperature. The fractionation tower 4 is changed to self-circulation. The amount of steam in the settling tank 1 is increased and the settling tower 4 is continuously purged for 2 hours to drive all the oil and gas in the settling tank 1 to the low-pressure gas system and reduce safety hazards.
[0030] 2) The settling tank 1 and the fractionating tower 4 are pressurized with steam to 200 kPa. The waiting slide valve 5 is quickly opened to release pressure into the coke burner 2, and then the pressure is released through the regenerator 3 to the flue gas waste heat recovery and flue gas desulfurization system. In this way, a large amount of steam will flow from the fractionating tower 4 into the cyclone separator 6 through the oil and gas line and rush towards the inlet and material leg of the cyclone separator 6. Then it will reach the wing valve and rush out. After the waiting slide valve 5 is opened and the pressure is released quickly, the steam will blow from top to bottom, change the force direction of the coke blocks, and achieve the purpose of flushing the material leg and wing valve.
[0031] Working principle: When using this invention, Figure 1 The two-stage system cuts material, and the coking tank 2 is used to burn oil to maintain the bed temperature. The fractionation tower 4 is changed to self-circulation, and the amount of steam in the settling tank 1 is increased. The settling tower 4 is continuously purged for 2 hours to drive all the oil and gas in the settling tank 1 to the low-pressure gas system and reduce safety hazards.
[0032] Figure 2 Method 1: Close the waiting slide valve 5, pressurize the settling tank 1 to 200 kPa, and then quickly depressurize it to the low-pressure gas system through the fractionation tower 4, so that the steam in the settling tank 1 is blown from bottom to top, thereby loosening the coke blocks in the wing valve or material leg of the cyclone separator 6.
[0033] Figure 3 Method 2: Pressurize the settling tank 1 and fractionation tower 4 with steam to 200 kPa, then quickly open them. Figure 3 The waiting slide valve 5 releases pressure into the coke burner 2, and then through the regenerator 3 to the flue gas waste heat recovery and flue gas desulfurization system. In this way, a large amount of steam will flow from the fractionation tower 4 into the cyclone separator 6 through the oil and gas line and rush towards the inlet and material leg of the cyclone separator 6. Then it reaches the wing valve and rushes out. After the waiting slide valve is opened and closed, the pressure is quickly released, so that the steam blows from top to bottom, changing the force direction of the coke and achieving the purpose of flushing the material leg and wing valve.
[0034] Beneficial effects: This invention achieves the purpose of flushing the material legs and wing valves by changing the force direction on the coke blocks in the cyclone separator 6 material legs, thereby achieving the purpose of treating the runoff in the settling tank 1 of the parallel two-stage system at the same height. It has low processing cost, low risk, and convenient operation, avoiding environmental hazards and operator injury.
