Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of petroleum refining, in particular to a method for increasing liquefied gas production and reducing the olefin content of gasoline. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the gradual upgrading of gasoline quality standards, the requirement for olefin content in finished gasoline is becoming lower and lower; in China, the proportion of catalytic cracking unit gasoline in the finished gasoline pool can reach more than 70%, and the olefin in catalytic cracking gasoline accounts for about 90% of the olefin content in finished gasoline, so in order to reduce the olefin content of finished gasoline, the olefin content of gasoline produced by the catalytic cracking unit must be reduced;

[0003] With the gradual increase in the sales of electric vehicles, the growth rate of gasoline consumption has gradually slowed down, while the demand for chemical products such as polypropylene is still strong, and 30% of the propylene production in China comes from liquefied gas produced by catalytic cracking units, so in order to improve the economic benefits of the refinery and ensure smooth product outlets, measures need to be taken to convert part of the gasoline into more popular liquefied gas products;

[0004] In most refineries, the main measures to reduce the olefin content of catalytic cracking gasoline include using olefin-reducing additives, reducing the reaction temperature, improving the properties of the raw material, and improving the activity of the catalyst, etc. These measures have two disadvantages, one is that the reduction in the olefin content of gasoline is limited, usually no more than 1.5 percentage points, and the other is that reducing the olefin content of gasoline will lead to a decrease in liquefied gas production, which will adversely affect the operating efficiency of the refinery; the above defects are problems that need to be solved by those skilled in the art;

[0005] The existing literature (Chemical Engineer, September 2013) discloses the effect of crude gasoline into the riser modification on the olefin and product distribution of gasoline, in which the crude gasoline is recycled to the riser of the original catalytic cracking unit, which reduces the olefin content of gasoline, but also leads to a decrease in economic benefits. SUMMARY

[0006] In order to overcome the deficiencies in the background art, the present application discloses a method for increasing liquefied gas production and reducing the olefin content of gasoline.

[0010] S2, respectively determining the content of the olefin in the crude gasoline produced by the non-MIP process system and the MIP process system;

[0011] S3, if the difference between the contents of the olefin in the crude gasoline produced by the non-MIP process system and the MIP process system is not less than 5%, then the regulating valve of the branch in step S1 is opened, and the crude gasoline produced by the non-MIP process system enters the bottom of the riser of the MIP process system along the branch, and the flow of the crude gasoline produced by the non-MIP process system is controlled by the regulating valve to be 1% to 10% of the flow of the feed of the riser of the MIP process system.

[0012] Preferably, the flow of the crude gasoline produced by the non-MIP process system is controlled to be 5% of the flow of the feed of the riser of the MIP process system in step S3.

[0013] Due to the technical scheme as described above, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
