Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fluidized catalytic cracking regeneration equipment technology, and in particular to a regenerator with a flow guiding structure. Background Technology

[0002] Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) completes hydrocarbon conversion by contacting hydrocarbons with a catalyst in a fluidized reaction zone. During this process, a large amount of highly carbonaceous material, known as coke, deposits on the catalyst, deactivating it. Therefore, continuous catalyst regeneration is required via a regenerator. The high-coke-content catalyst (the spent catalyst) is continuously removed from the reaction zone and replaced by a nearly coke-free catalyst from the regeneration zone. Catalyst particles are transported between the reaction and regeneration zones via fluidization, maintaining high catalyst activity and system thermal equilibrium in the reaction zone. The goal of equipment structure optimization is to maximize reactor product yield while minimizing operating and maintenance costs. The purpose of the regeneration equipment is to obtain a fully regenerated catalyst, i.e., to completely remove coke from the catalyst, requiring sufficient contact time between the catalyst and oxygen to achieve complete coke combustion.

[0003] A traditional regenerator includes a coke burner and a second dense-phase bed connected to each other. The gas-solid separation zone at the top of the second dense-phase bed contains a cyclone separator and a large-pore distribution plate. The second dense-phase bed has an inlet for the catalyst to be generated and an outlet for the regenerated catalyst. In this regenerator, the coke on the catalyst is removed by combustion with an oxygen-containing gas, typically air, simultaneously forming flue gas. After treatment to remove entrained catalyst particles and carbon monoxide, the flue gas can be normally discharged into the atmosphere.

[0004] Because the lower part of the second dense phase bed of the regenerator is affected by the large-hole distribution plate and multiple outlets, the catalyst movement is complex and several small eddies are prone to occur, resulting in problems such as uneven distribution of catalyst particles and poor ventilation. In addition, when the oxygen content in the combustion gas is insufficient, the hot flue gas contains carbon monoxide, which will cause poor fluidization of the spent catalyst, causing tail combustion, leading to problems such as unstable operation of the regenerator and deterioration of the performance of the regenerated catalyst.

[0005] At the same time, the catalyst particles present in the dilute phase section of the regenerator (the area between the upper part of the second dense phase bed of the regenerator and the top of the regenerator) are insufficient to act as a heat carrier to absorb heat, which will cause the equipment inside the dilute phase section to be subjected to higher temperatures, which may exceed the alchemical limit, resulting in damage or severe deformation of the internal equipment. Summary of the Invention

When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element.

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a regenerator with a flow guiding structure includes a coking tank 10 and a gas-solid separation zone 20 connected to each other. A second dense phase bed 30 is formed between the coking tank 10 and the gas-solid separation zone 20. A flow guiding structure 40 is provided within the second dense phase bed 30. The coking tank 10 has a gas inlet 11 at its bottom and a catalyst inlet 12 on its side wall. The second dense phase bed 30 has a catalyst outlet 31 on its side wall. The gas-solid separation zone 20 has a flue gas outlet 21 at its top. The flow guiding structure 40 includes a flow guiding cylinder 41. Multiple baffles 42 and a first gas distributor 43; a guide tube 41 is coaxially arranged with the side wall of the second dense phase bed 30, the interior of the guide tube 41 defines a guide zone A, and the area between the guide tube 41 and the side wall of the second dense phase bed 30 defines an annular gap zone B, through which the main air X flows; multiple baffles 42 are located in the annular gap zone B, and the baffles 42 are connected between the guide tube 41 and the second dense phase bed 30; the first gas distributor 43 is located at the lower part of the annular gap zone B, and the first gas distributor 43 is used to introduce loosening air Y into the annular gap zone B.

[0047] The second dense phase bed 30 of the regenerator described in this invention is provided with a flow guiding structure 40 for guiding the gas flow. The flow guiding structure 40 can guide the gas flow in the second dense phase bed 30 to circulate, thereby driving the catalyst in the gas to flow stably, making the catalyst evenly distributed, effectively reducing the generation of eddies, avoiding the occurrence of high-temperature tail combustion, and thus extending the service life of the regenerator.

[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the regenerator of the present invention includes a coking tank 10 and a gas-solid separation zone 20 connected to each other, and a second dense phase bed 30 for second coking and decarbonization of the catalyst is formed at the connection between the coking tank 10 and the gas-solid separation zone 20.

[0049] The coking tank 10 is an open-top tank connected to a bottom-open gas-solid separation zone 20 via a transition structure. Coking gas (oxygen-containing gas, typically air) and the spent catalyst (a high-coke-content catalyst requiring coking regeneration) are mixed inside the coking tank 10 for the first coking and decarbonization reaction. The bottom of the coking tank 10 has a gas inlet 11 for introducing oxygen-containing gas; in this embodiment, air is introduced through the gas inlet 11. A catalyst inlet 12 is located on the side wall of the coking tank 10 for introducing the spent catalyst. The spent catalyst entering the coking tank 10 mixes with the air entering from the bottom and flows upwards with the air. At high temperature, the mixed spent catalyst and air undergo the first coking and decarbonization reaction, burning off some of the coke on the catalyst surface, thus initially regenerating the spent catalyst.

[0050] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the gas inlet 11 of the coking tank 10 is connected to a second gas distributor 13. The second gas distributor 13 has a disc-shaped structure, with its lower inlet connected to the gas inlet 11. The upper part of the second gas distributor 13 has multiple gas outlets. The second gas distributor 13 can evenly distribute air into the entire coking tank 10, so that it can be evenly mixed with the catalyst to be generated.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a large-hole distribution plate 44 is provided at the connection between the coke burner 10 and the second dense phase bed 30. The large-hole distribution plate 44 is located at the lower part of the flow guiding structure 40. The large-hole distribution plate 44 is connected to the outlet of the coke burner 10. Multiple through holes are uniformly opened on the large-hole distribution plate 44. After the air and the catalyst to be generated are mixed and initially reacted, they can be uniformly distributed to the second dense phase bed 30 of the regenerator after passing through the through holes on the large-hole distribution plate 44.

[0052] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1As shown, the coking tank 10 has a grid layer 14 inside, which is located above the catalyst inlet 12. The grid layer 14 can evenly distribute the catalyst to be generated into the coking tank 10. The evenly distributed catalyst can mix evenly with the upward-flowing air and flow upward under the action of the air.

[0053] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the second dense phase bed 30 is provided with a flow guiding structure 40. The flow guiding cylinder 41 is a cylindrical metal cylinder open at both ends. A baffle plate 42 is connected between the outer wall of the flow guiding cylinder 41 and the side wall of the second dense phase bed 30. The flow guiding cylinder 41 is fixed to the second dense phase bed 30 by the baffle plate 42. The flow guiding cylinder 41 is coaxially arranged with the regenerator and located above the large-hole distribution plate 44. Preferably, the distance between the flow guiding cylinder 41 and the large-hole distribution plate 44 is 0.5m to 3m, the height of the flow guiding cylinder 41 is 0.7m to 3.0m, and the diameter D1 of the flow guiding cylinder 41 is 0.7 to 0.9 times the diameter D2 of the second dense phase bed 30. The structural dimensions of the flow guiding cylinder 41 are related to the size of the regenerator, the catalyst throughput, the gas velocity, and the bed density, and can be adjusted according to actual production needs. No specific limitation is made here.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the guide tube 41 is a frustum-shaped metal tube with openings at both ends, which matches the sidewall of the second dense phase bed 30. The large end opening of the frustum-shaped guide tube 41 faces the gas-solid separation zone 20, and the small end opening of the frustum-shaped guide tube 41 faces the coking tank 10.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, some baffles 42 are connected to both the outer wall of the guide tube 41 and the side wall of the second dense phase bed 30, while other baffles 42 are only connected to the outer wall of the guide tube 41. In this embodiment, the baffles 42 with the above two connection structures are arranged alternately along the circumference of the guide tube 41.

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, a cylindrical guiding zone A is defined inside the guide tube 41. Air and the catalyst to be generated in the coke burner 10 are introduced into the guiding zone A inside the guide tube 41 as the main airflow X after passing through the large-hole distribution plate 44. The main airflow X flows vertically upward. An annular gap zone B is defined between the guide tube 41 and the side wall of the second dense phase bed 30. Multiple baffles 42 are located in the annular gap zone B. The baffles 42 can reduce radial backmixing in the annular gap zone B and shear the bubbles in the annular gap zone B. At the same time, they can promote the orderly circulation of the catalyst to be generated in the second dense phase bed 30, making the catalyst distribution more uniform. A separation zone C is defined at the upper part of the guide tube 41. A distributor influence zone D is defined at the lower part of the guide tube 41. The gas in the guiding zone A flows to the annular gap zone B through the separation zone C, and the gas in the annular gap zone B flows to the guiding zone A through the distributor influence zone D.

[0057] The gas flow velocity in the guiding zone A is greater than that in the annular zone B, resulting in a high gas content, high gas holdup, and low bed density in the particle bed. Conversely, the gas flow velocity in the annular zone B is relatively lower, leading to a lower gas holdup and higher bed density. Therefore, the static pressure of the fluid in the annular zone B is greater than that in the guiding zone A, propelling the catalytic particles from the annular zone B through the distributor's influence zone D to the guiding zone A.

[0058] The flow guiding structure 40 divides the flow space within the second dense phase bed 30 into a guiding zone A, a separation zone C, an annular gap zone B, and a distributor-influenced zone D, enabling the gas to carry the catalyst to be generated to form an ordered circulation between these zones. This ordered circulation within the second dense phase bed 30 increases the relative velocity between the gas and catalyst particles in the regenerator's second dense phase, accelerates catalyst surface renewal, reduces heat and mass transfer resistance at the gas-catalyst interface, improves heat transfer and coking rates, and enhances the coking intensity of the main airflow X. The presence of this ordered circulation also reduces the stagnation time of the gas and catalyst within the second dense phase bed 30, mitigating the problems of eddies, high-density zones, and uneven catalyst distribution within the regenerator.

[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a first gas distributor 43 is provided at the lower part of the annular region B. The first gas distributor 43 is used to introduce loosening air Y into the annular region B, and the flow direction of loosening air Y is vertically upward. The gas holdup inside the annular region B is relatively low, the bed density is relatively high, the catalyst particles are relatively dense, and the gas flow state is unstable. The loosening air Y is introduced into the annular region B to improve the flow state of the catalyst inside the annular region B.

[0060] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first gas distributor 43 is an annular distribution pipe 431 with multiple vent holes 432. The openings of the vent holes 432 face the annular gap region B. Air flows through the annular distribution pipe 431, and the air flowing out of the vent holes 432 flows in the opposite direction to the gas flow in the annular gap region B, which is used to improve the gas flow state in the annular gap region B. When the gas velocity of the first gas distributor 43 is low, the catalyst particles are prone to forming dead zones near the inner wall of the regenerator; when the gas velocity of the first gas distributor 43 is high, the catalyst particles are prone to forming "bubbles" with low solid content in the annular gap region B, which impact the catalyst particles sliding down the inner wall of the regenerator, which is detrimental to the catalyst circulation; preferably, the flow velocity of the loosening air Y output from the vent holes 432 is 0.05 m / s to 0.3 m / s. The gas velocity of the first gas distributor 43 should be considered from multiple aspects such as the gas velocity of the main air X, bed density, equipment size and the installation position of the guide tube 41, and can be adjusted according to actual needs. No specific limitation is made here.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, the gas-solid separation zone 20 is a tank with an open bottom. The bottom is connected to the coking tank 10 with an open top through a transition structure. The top of the gas-solid separation zone 20 is provided with a flue gas outlet 21. The flue gas separated inside the gas-solid separation zone 20 is discharged through the flue gas outlet 21.

[0062] Furthermore, a cyclone separator 22 is installed inside the gas-solid separation zone 20, located at the top of the gas-solid separation zone 20. After the air and the spent catalyst undergo two coking processes, the resulting flue gas and the regenerated catalyst (the catalyst that has regained its activity after coking) pass through the cyclone separator 22, separating the flue gas from the regenerated catalyst. The flue gas is then discharged through the flue gas outlet 21. A catalyst outlet 31 is provided on the side wall of the second dense phase bed 30, through which the regenerated catalyst separated by the cyclone separator 22 is discharged.

[0063] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the regenerator also includes an internal circulation pipe 50 that connects the second dense phase bed 30 and the coking tube. The inlet of the internal circulation pipe 50 is located on the side wall of the second dense phase bed 30, and the outlet of the internal circulation pipe 50 is located on the side wall of the coking tank 10. A throttle valve 53 is connected to the internal circulation pipe 50.

[0064] The inner circulation pipe 50 is used to guide the catalyst in the second dense phase bed 30 to the coke burner 10, so that it can undergo the coke burn and decarbonization process again, ensuring that the coke on the surface of the catalyst can be completely removed and the catalyst can be completely regenerated; the throttle valve 53 on the inner circulation pipe 50 can control the gas flow rate in the inner circulation pipe 50, thereby controlling the proportion of catalyst entering the inner circulation pipe for circulation and regeneration.

[0065] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of the present invention. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
