Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fluidized catalytic cracking, and more specifically, to a reaction method and system for catalytic cracking of light oil suitable for maintaining thermal balance. Background Art
[0002] Currently, there is an oversupply of refining capacity, a slowdown in terminal consumption of refined oil products, and an oversupply of refined oil products, which has become an urgent problem for refining companies. In the chemical raw material market, ethylene and propylene, as basic chemical raw materials, remain in strong market demand. The consumption of ethylene and propylene has been increasing year by year. Taking my country as an example, it is estimated that by the end of 2023, my country's ethylene and propylene production capacity will reach approximately 44 million tons / year and 52 million tons / year, respectively, with an average annual compound growth rate of 11.5% and 8.7%, respectively. As a result, the domestic refining landscape and resource flows will undergo structural reorganization, the growth rate of terminal consumption of refined oil products will slow down, and the consumption of light chemical oil will increase significantly. Therefore, the transformation from refining to chemical industry has become an inevitable direction for the development of refineries. Catalytic cracking, as the link between refining and chemical industry, is a key technology in the transformation process from refining to chemical industry.
[0003] Catalytic cracking processes typically use heavy petroleum hydrocarbons as feedstock, particularly paraffin-based vacuum distillates or atmospheric residues, which yield high yields of light olefins such as propylene. With the increasing heaviness and degradation of global crude oil, high-quality heavy petroleum hydrocarbon resources are becoming increasingly scarce, creating an urgent need to expand the feedstock range for catalytic cracking technology. As refineries adjust and transform their product mix, improving oil quality also generates significant amounts of light petroleum hydrocarbons as byproducts. For a typical 10 million ton fuel oil refinery, annual light petroleum hydrocarbon production can reach millions of tons, representing approximately 10% of crude oil processing capacity. For integrated refining and chemical companies or chemical refineries, the production and proportion of light petroleum hydrocarbons will increase significantly as crude oil conversion deepens. Efficiently utilizing these light hydrocarbon resources has become a key focus of research and attention within the refining and chemical industry.
[0004] Catalytic cracking technologies targeting light olefins as their primary target products feature high conversion rates, high reaction temperatures, and high reaction heat. This requires more heat than conventional fluidized bed catalytic regenerators or other catalytic conversion methods. The coke generated by the cracking itself often fails to meet the heat balance requirements of the reaction-regeneration system. Lighter feedstocks exacerbate this problem of insufficient heat sources. When insufficient coke is generated during the reaction, slurry oil recycling or external fuel oil addition to the regenerator are typically used to provide the required heat. Because slurry oil contains a high concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, it readily adsorbs onto the catalyst's active sites, affecting the accessibility of the active sites to the feedstock molecules and, consequently, the catalytic reaction selectivity. Furthermore, because catalytic cracking utilizes molecular sieves as the active component of the catalyst, the localized high temperatures generated by the combustion of fuel oil within the regenerator cause the aluminum in the molecular sieve framework to gradually dislodge, leading to irreversible damage to the catalyst. This fundamentally addresses the impact of the high-temperature hotspots generated by the localized combustion of external fuel oil on the catalyst's skeletal structure and reaction performance. In order to solve this problem, the existing technical solutions all start from the regenerator system, such as setting up an oxygen-depleted area in the regenerator, introducing fuel oil into the oxygen-depleted area to mix with the catalyst, and then entering the regenerator for burning and regeneration; or arranging a heater in the regenerator and using a fuel nozzle, the fuel nozzle is constructed to spray a mixture of fuel and oxygen-containing gas for combustion to supplement heat; or injecting methane, relying on the combustion heat of methane to supplement heat for the reaction. The heat supplementation method in the above technology has alleviated the adverse effects of the catalyst, but it has not fundamentally solved the impact of the high-temperature hot spots generated by the local combustion of the external fuel oil on the catalyst skeleton structure and reaction performance, thereby seriously affecting the reaction selectivity. Therefore, in the development of light oil catalytic cracking technology, while improving the selectivity of low-carbon olefins, insufficient heat balance is also a technical problem that must be solved.

[0028] The present application also provides a light oil catalytic cracking method for maintaining thermal balance, characterized in that the method comprises:
[0029] 1) Preheated light oil is introduced from the bottom of the cracking reactor, contacts with the regenerated catalyst from the regenerator and performs catalytic cracking reaction from bottom to top. The resulting oil mixture is introduced into the oil separation equipment for separation to obtain reaction products and catalyst to be regenerated.
[0030] 2) The catalyst to be generated enters the dense phase settling section below the settler and undergoes a coking reaction with the coking fuel oil introduced from the upper part of the dense phase settling section to obtain reaction oil gas and carbonized catalyst, wherein the reaction oil gas enters the oil agent separation device for separation to obtain reaction products.
[0031] 3) The carbonized catalyst is transported to the regenerator for char regeneration, and the resulting regenerated catalyst is circulated to the cracking reactor and the settling section of the settler.
[0032] In one embodiment, the light oil includes gaseous hydrocarbons and light distillate oil; preferably, the properties of the light oil meet one, two, three or four of the following indicators: density at 20°C is less than 860 kg / m3, residual carbon is 0-0.5% by weight, total aromatic hydrocarbon content is 0%-30% by weight, and the end distillation point is less than 360°C.
[0033] In one embodiment, the conditions of the catalytic cracking reaction include: a reaction temperature of 510-750°C, a reaction time of 0.5-10 seconds, a catalyst-oil weight ratio of 10:1 to 50:1, a weight ratio of pre-lift gas to feed oil of 0.05:1 to 2.0:1, a catalyst density of 20-100 kg / m3, a linear velocity of 4-18 m / s, and a reaction pressure of 130-450 kPa.

The characteristic that the catalyst to be generated still has a relatively high cracking reaction activity is utilized, and suitable reaction conditions are provided for the coking fuel oil. The coking raw oil reacts with the catalyst under relatively low temperature and oxygen-free fluidized conditions to cause a coking reaction, so that the coke adheres to the catalyst and is then transported to the regeneration system. Under the action of high temperature and oxygen-rich gas, it is fully burned to release heat, supplying the heat required for the reaction without damaging the properties of the catalyst. This realizes the replenishment of the coke source from the reaction system end and solves the heat balance problem of the catalytic cracking unit.
[0039] When the method and system of this application are used in catalytic cracking reactions, the contact efficiency between the feedstock and the catalyst is high, the catalytic reaction selectivity is good, the yield of high-value-added products such as ethylene and propylene is high, and the yield of byproducts such as methane is low. This helps refineries transform, develop, and expand from oil refining to chemical raw material production, solving the problem of petrochemical raw material shortages and improving the economic benefits of refineries.

[0056] Oil separation equipment 201,
[0057] settler 200, and
[0058] Regenerator 500.
[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, the catalytic cracking reactor 100 can be provided with a pre-lift gas inlet 101, one or more cracking feed oil inlets (e.g., a cracking feed feed inlet 102 at the bottom, a C4 hydrocarbon fraction and / or C5-C6 light gasoline fraction inlet 105, etc.), a catalyst inlet 103 at the bottom, and an oil agent outlet 104 at the top. The oil agent outlet 104 of the cracking reactor is in fluid communication with the oil agent separation device 201, so that the first reaction oil gas and the first spent catalyst from the catalytic cracking reactor 100 are separated in the oil agent separation device 201.
[0060] In one embodiment, the catalytic cracking reactor 100 includes, from bottom to top:
[0061] Optional pre-lift zone I,
[0062] Reaction zone II, wherein the reaction zone II includes at least one reduced-diameter reaction section, wherein the reduced-diameter reaction section is a hollow cylinder with a substantially circular cross-section and open bottom and top ends, and the inner diameter of the hollow cylinder decreases continuously or discontinuously from bottom to top; and

[0065] The cross-sectional inner diameter of the bottom end of the reaction zone II is greater than or equal to the cross-sectional inner diameter of the optional pre-lift zone I, and the cross-sectional inner diameter of the top end is equal to or less than the cross-sectional inner diameter of the optional pre-lift zone and the cross-sectional inner diameter of the outlet zone.
[0066] like Figure 1 As shown, the catalytic cracking reactor may include the pre-lifting zone I, which is arranged at the bottom of the catalytic cracking reactor and is used to pre-lift the catalyst entering the reactor. Figure 1As shown, a catalyst inlet 103 is provided at the lower part of the pre-lifting zone I for inputting the catalyst. The pre-lifting zone I can be a hollow cylindrical structure, and the ratio of its inner diameter to height is 0.02-0.4:1; the ratio of its height to the total height of the reactor is 0.01:1 to 0.2:1, preferably 0.05:1 to 0.15:1.

[0067] According to the present application, the pre-lift zone I is not necessary. For example, when the reaction zone II of the reactor of the present application is used in series with other reactors such as a riser reactor, the reaction zone II can be directly connected to the outlet of the other reactor located upstream without the need to use the pre-lift zone I. In one embodiment, the catalytic cracking reactor may not include the pre-lift zone I. At this time, the bottom of the reaction zone II may be provided with at least one raw material feed port 102 to facilitate the entry of raw materials and the like into the catalytic cracking reactor. In an embodiment in which there is no pre-lift zone I, the bottom of the reaction zone II may be provided with at least one catalyst inlet (not shown) for allowing the catalyst to enter the reactor. Of course, the reaction zone II may not be provided with a catalyst inlet, and the catalyst therein may be derived from the catalyst carried in the logistics of other reactors. Both embodiments are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0068] like Figure 1 As shown, the catalytic cracking reactor may include a reaction zone II. A pre-lift zone I is connected to the bottom end 110 of the reaction zone II, and the top end 120 of the reaction zone II is connected to the outlet zone III. At least one catalyst inlet 103 and at least one raw material feed port 102 are provided on the pre-lift zone and / or at the bottom of the reaction zone. The inner diameter of the cross section of the bottom end 110 of the reaction zone II is greater than or equal to the inner diameter of the cross section of the pre-lift zone I, and the inner diameter of the cross section of the top end 120 is equal to or less than the inner diameter of the cross section of the pre-lift zone I and the inner diameter of the cross section of the outlet zone III.
[0069] In the catalytic cracking reactor provided in the present application, the reaction zone II is a fluidized bed. Preferably, the fluidized bed is one or a combination of a transport fluidized bed, a turbulent fluidized bed and a fast bed.

The longitudinal section of the first transition section I-1 may be an isosceles trapezoid, and the outward inclination angle α of the side of the isosceles trapezoid may be 5-85°, preferably 15-75°.
[0071] like Figure 1 As shown, the raw material feed port can be provided at the upper portion of the pre-elevation zone I, in the first transition section I-1, or at the lower portion of the reaction zone II. In particular, in an embodiment where the pre-elevation zone I is not present, a raw material feed port 102 can be provided at the lower portion of the reaction zone II for feeding raw materials.
[0072] In one embodiment, the ratio of the inner diameter of the bottom cross-section of the reaction zone II to the total height of the reactor is 0.01:1 to 0.5:1, preferably 0.05:1 to 0.2:1; the ratio of the total height of the reaction zone II to the total height of the reactor is 0.15:1 to 0.8:1, for example 0.2:1 to 0.75:1.
[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, the reaction zone II includes at least one diameter-reducing reaction section, which is a hollow cylinder with a roughly circular cross-section and open bottom and top ends, and its inner diameter decreases continuously or discontinuously from bottom to top.
[0074] In this application, "reduced diameter" refers to a decrease in inner diameter in a discontinuous manner, such as steps or jumps, or in a continuous manner. An example of a "reduced diameter section with a discontinuous decrease in inner diameter from bottom to top" includes a column consisting of two or more hollow cylinders with decreasing inner diameters.
[0075] For example, the reaction zone II may be cylindrical, including one or more hollow truncated cone sections, or may be cylindrical, including two or more hollow cylindrical sections. According to the present application, when the reaction zone includes two or more reduced diameter reaction sections, the reduced diameter reaction sections may have the same or different heights, and this application does not impose strict restrictions on this.
[0076] In a preferred embodiment, the reaction zone II comprises a cylindrical form consisting of one or more hollow truncated conical segments and optional connecting segments for connecting adjacent hollow truncated conical segments, or a cylindrical form consisting of two or more hollow cylindrical segments and optional connecting segments for connecting adjacent hollow cylindrical segments.
[0077] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the reaction zone II includes a reduced diameter reaction section, which is in the form of a hollow truncated cone, and its longitudinal section is an isosceles trapezoid; the inner diameter D of the top cross section is 120 The height h of the reduced diameter reaction section IIThe ratio is 0.005-0.3:1 independently, and the inner diameter D of the bottom cross section 110 The height h of the reduced diameter reaction section II The ratio is 0.015-0.25:1 independently, and the inner diameter of the bottom cross section D 110 and the inner diameter D of the top cross section 120 The ratio of each is independently greater than 1.2 and less than or equal to 10, more preferably 1.5 to 5; the diameter reduction reaction section h II The ratio of the height of the bottom end to the total height h of the reactor is 0.15:1 to 0.8:1, preferably 0.2:1 to 0.75:1. In one embodiment, the inner diameter D of the bottom cross section is 110 The ratio of the height h1 of the reduced diameter reaction section to the total height h of the reactor is 0.01:1 to 0.5:1, preferably 0.05:1 to 0.2; the ratio of the height h1 of the reduced diameter reaction section to the total height h of the reactor is 0.15:1 to 0.8:1, preferably 0.2:1 to 0.75:1, and the total height h1 of the reaction zone II is 0.15:1 to 0.8:1, preferably 0.2:1 to 0.75:1. II The ratio of the inner diameter D of the top cross section of the reduced diameter reaction section 100 to the total height h of the reactor is 0.15:1 to 0.8:1, preferably 0.2:1 to 0.75:1. 110 In one embodiment, the total height h of the reaction zone II is 0.2-5 meters, preferably 0.4-3 meters. II It may be about 2-50 meters, preferably about 5-40 meters, and more preferably about 8-20 meters.
[0078] In the catalytic cracking reactor of the present application, the reduced-diameter reaction section, especially the conical reaction section, has a large bottom space, which can effectively increase the catalyst density in the reactor, thereby greatly increasing the ratio of catalyst to reaction raw materials in the reactor, strengthening the primary cracking reaction of the raw materials, not only improving the reaction conversion rate, but also increasing the yield of light olefins; moreover, the reduced-diameter reaction section, especially the reduced-diameter structure of the conical reaction section, is conducive to accelerating the reaction oil and gas to leave the reaction zone, shortening the reaction time, and reducing catalyst backmixing, which is conducive to reducing the secondary conversion reaction of the light olefins generated by the primary reaction and improving the selectivity of light olefins.
[0079] In the catalytic cracking reactor provided herein, the reactor may be provided with one or more, for example, one, two or more, raw material feed ports, and the one or more raw material feed ports may be independently provided at the outlet end of the pre-elevation zone I, or at the bottom of the reaction zone II. Further preferably, the positions of the multiple raw material inlets are independently located at the same height or at different heights of the reaction zone II. Thus, raw materials of different properties can be fed separately at different raw material feed ports.
[0080] like Figure 1As shown, the catalytic cracking reactor may include an outlet zone III. In one embodiment, the outlet zone III may be in the form of a hollow cylinder with a cross-sectional inner diameter and a height h III The ratio is 0.01-0.3:1, the height h of the outlet area III The ratio to the total height h of the reactor is 0.05: 1 to 0.5: 1, more preferably 0.1: 1 to 0.35: 1. In one embodiment, the inner diameter of the outlet zone III is 0.2-5 meters, preferably 0.4-3 meters.
[0081] As mentioned above, the inner diameter of the cross section at the top of reaction zone II is equal to or smaller than the inner diameter of the cross section of outlet zone III. In one embodiment, the inner diameter of the cross section at the top of reaction zone II is equal to the inner diameter of the cross section of outlet zone III.
[0082] In one embodiment, the inner diameter of the cross section at the top of reaction zone II is smaller than the inner diameter of the cross section of outlet zone III. In this case, reaction zone II and outlet zone III may be connected by a third transition section (not shown). The longitudinal section of the third transition section may be an isosceles trapezoid, and the outward inclination angle of the side of the isosceles trapezoid may be 5-85°, preferably 15-75°.
[0083] The outlet end 104 of the outlet zone III may be directly connected to the inlet of the oil separation device 201 , such as a cyclone separator.
[0084] In one embodiment, the light oil used in this application includes gaseous hydrocarbons and light distillate oil. The properties of the light oil meet one, two, three, or four of the following indicators: density at 20°C less than 860 kg / m3, carbon residue 0-0.5% by weight, total aromatics content 0%-30% by weight, and end-of-range boiling point less than 360°C.

[0110] The present application will be further described below with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited thereby.
[0111] Figure 2 A preferred embodiment of the catalytic cracking reaction system of the present application is given.
[0112] The pre-lift gas enters the pre-lift zone I of the cracking reactor from the bottom of the cracking reactor 100 through the pre-lift gas inlet 101. The high-temperature regenerated catalyst from the regenerator enters the pre-lift zone I at the bottom of the cracking reactor 100 through the regenerated catalyst inlet 103, mixes with the pre-lift gas, and moves upward.

[0114] Example
[0115] The following examples further illustrate the present invention but are not intended to limit the present invention. The catalyst used in the experiments was an industrial catalyst with the trade name NCC. The cracking reaction feedstock was Yanshan straight-run naphtha obtained from the Yanshan Petrochemical atmospheric and vacuum unit. The coking fuel oil was catalytic diesel obtained from the Anqing Petrochemical catalytic cracking unit. The properties of the two feedstocks are shown in Table 1.
[0116] Example 1
[0117] according to Figure 2 The system was tested: the structure of the catalytic cracking reactor used is as follows:
[0118] The total height of the reactor is 10 meters, of which the pre-lifting zone is 2 meters and the inner diameter is 0.2 meters; the reaction zone is 5 meters high, the inner diameter of the top cross section is 0.2 meters, and the inner diameter of the bottom cross section is 0.3 meters; the outlet zone is 3 meters high and has an inner diameter of 0.2 meters.
[0119] The structure of the settler is as follows:
[0120] The distance between the annular feed distributor and the bottom of the dense phase settling section is 2 / 3 of the height of the dense phase settling section;
[0121] A regenerated catalyst inlet is provided above the dense phase settling section.
[0122] The cracking reaction of straight-run naphtha is carried out in the cracking reactor. The preheated raw oil is introduced from the lower part of the cracking reactor, contacts the regenerated catalyst from the regenerator and undergoes a catalytic cracking reaction from bottom to top to obtain an oil mixture of the reaction product and the regenerated catalyst. The oil mixture enters the cyclone separator from the reactor outlet, and the reaction product and the regenerated catalyst are quickly separated. The reaction product is cooled and collected.
[0123] The regenerated catalyst enters the dense phase settling section under the action of gravity. The bottom fluidizing steam creates a turbulent fluidization state. Anqing slurry (i.e., coking fuel oil) is then injected into the dense phase settling section, where it comes into contact with the regenerated catalyst to initiate a coking reaction. The coked, carbonized catalyst is then transported to the regenerator for regeneration by contact with air. A portion of the regenerated catalyst is returned to the catalytic cracking reactor for recycling, while a portion is recycled back to the dense phase settling section. The regenerated catalyst recycled back to the dense phase settling section accounts for 10% of the weight of the regenerated catalyst recycled back to the catalytic cracking reactor. The operating conditions and product distribution are listed in Table 2.
[0124] From the results in Table 2, it can be seen that the methane yield is 14.43%, the ethylene yield is 18.07% by weight, the propylene yield is 18.68% by weight, the coke yield is 6.35%, the methane selectivity is 16.99%, and the total selectivity of ethylene and propylene is 43.29%.
[0125] Comparative Example 1
[0126] according to Figure 2 The test was conducted in a system in which green coking fuel oil was not injected into the dense phase settling section.
[0127] A cracking reaction test of straight-run naphtha was carried out in a catalytic cracking reactor. Preheated feedstock oil was introduced from the lower part of the cracking reactor, contacted with the regenerated catalyst from the regenerator, and a catalytic cracking reaction was carried out from bottom to top to obtain an oil-agent mixture of reaction products and the regenerated catalyst. The oil-agent mixture entered a cyclone separator from the reactor outlet, and the reaction products and the regenerated catalyst were quickly separated. The reaction products were cooled and collected.
[0128] The spent catalyst is collected by gravity in the dense phase settling section and then directly enters the regenerator via a standpipe. It is regenerated by contact with air and then returned to the catalytic cracking reactor for recycling. The operating conditions and product distribution are listed in Table 2.
[0129] The results in Table 2 show that the methane yield was 14.76%, the ethylene yield was 18.01% by weight, the propylene yield was 18.40% by weight, the coke yield was 3.92%, the methane selectivity was 17.62%, and the combined ethylene and propylene selectivity was 43.46%. The coke yield in this comparative example was low, and the coke produced was insufficient to maintain the thermal balance of the reaction.
[0130] It can be seen from the results of the above examples that the catalytic cracking reaction system of the present application can not only reduce the methane yield and improve the selectivity of ethylene and propylene, but also produce coke with high selectivity, providing a heat source for the regenerator from the reaction system without affecting the regeneration system.
