Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a downflow bed fluid catalytic cracking / cracking process and system, which can be used for preparing petrochemicals, such as olefins and aromatic hydrocarbons. BACKGROUND

[0002] Catalytic cracking / cracking is an important means of lightening heavy oil, and "reducing oil and increasing hydrocarbon" is a general trend of refinery transformation. Increasing the reaction depth of catalytic cracking feedstock to produce more low-carbon olefins is an inevitable requirement to achieve this goal. Increasing the catalyst to oil ratio and the reaction temperature is a common means to achieve the above requirements. Although high reaction temperature can increase the conversion depth of the feedstock, it can also cause the intensification of thermal cracking reaction, resulting in rapid increase of dry gas and coke yield, although the oil is reduced, but the hydrocarbon is not increased. The operating conditions of low temperature, large catalyst to oil ratio and short reaction time are the way to achieve the purpose of "reducing oil and increasing hydrocarbon" that is highly expected at present.

[0003] The current catalytic cracking unit is basically an "upward pipe" reactor in which oil and catalyst contact at the bottom of the riser pipe and move upward. It is difficult to achieve the operating conditions of large catalyst to oil ratio and short reaction time due to the constraints of gravity and actual engineering conditions. The downflow bed reactor is gas-solid co-current flow against the gravity field, the radial flow is more uniform, there is no axial back mixing of catalyst, and the radial distribution of particle concentration and velocity is obviously improved compared with the upward riser, which is particularly suitable for catalytic conversion reactions with ultra-short contact (reaction) time (usually 1-3 times shorter than the riser) and ultra-large catalyst to oil ratio (usually 1-3 times larger than the riser), such as deep catalytic conversion of residual oil, catalytic thermal cracking, catalytic cracking of gasoline to produce olefins, etc., which can fully utilize the initial activity of the catalyst, improve the light oil yield, and reduce the generation of dry gas and coke.

[0004] Patent CN 108753356A discloses a multi-stage countercurrent catalytic cracking / cracking system and method. In this method, the feedstock enters from the bottommost downflow pipe reactor, the oil gas separated from each stage is returned to the upper downflow pipe reactor, and the product flows out from the gas-solid separation device of the topmost downflow pipe reactor. The regenerant enters from the topmost downflow pipe reactor, the catalyst separated from each stage enters the next downflow pipe reactor, and the catalyst enters the stripper from the gas-solid separation device of the bottommost downflow pipe reactor. In this scheme, only one regeneration inclined pipe is provided, which can only supply one way of regenerant to the reaction system, and can only control one temperature point, and the reaction temperature of each downflow pipe cannot be independently controlled, while different hydrocarbon compositions have their own appropriate reaction temperature.

[0005] CN112538372A discloses an integrated method and device for catalytic cracking of heavy oil and co-production of synthesis gas. The method uses a cracking-gasification coupled reactor with internal cracking and gasification sections as the reactor; heavy oil feedstock enters the cracking section at the top of the coupled reactor and contacts the fluidized bed material containing cracking catalyst to undergo catalytic cracking reaction, producing light oil gas and coke, which is carried down by the bed material into the gasification section at the bottom of the coupled reactor to undergo gasification reaction and generate synthesis gas; the synthesis gas rises into the cracking section and combines with the light oil gas to exit the coupled reactor into a gas-solid separation system, at least a first stage of gas-solid separation is performed, the separated bed material particles are collected and divided into two parts, which are returned to the cracking section and the gasification section respectively to form a primary and secondary circulation; the purified oil gas output from the gas-solid separation system is subjected to oil gas fractionation to collect light oil and synthesis gas products. This scheme is mainly used for the production of synthesis gas and light oil products.

[0006] CN113897216A discloses a catalytic cracking method and system. The catalytic cracking method includes a combined process of catalytic cracking, hydro-upgrading and aromatic extraction. The process can maximize the production of low-carbon olefins while co-producing benzene, toluene and xylene, optimizing product distribution.a. Heavy feedstock is sent to the upper part of the downflow reactor (2) to contact the first catalytic cracking catalyst from the top of the downflow reactor (2) and undergo a first catalytic cracking reaction from top to bottom, producing a first product and a first spent catalyst;b. The first product and the first spent catalyst obtained in step a are sent to the bottom of the fluidized bed reactor (3);c. Light feedstock and hydro-upgraded oil are sent to the lower part of the riser reactor (9) to contact the second catalytic cracking catalyst from the bottom of the riser reactor (9) and undergo a second catalytic cracking reaction from bottom to top, producing a second product and a second spent catalyst;d. The second product and the second spent catalyst obtained in step c are sent to the fluidized bed reactor to mix with the first product and the first spent catalyst, and contact the third catalytic cracking catalyst and undergo a third catalytic cracking reaction, producing a third product and a third spent catalyst, which is sent to the regenerator (7) for regeneration to obtain regenerated catalyst, etc. This scheme combines downflow bed and conventional upflow fluidized bed for catalytic cracking, which may cause problems of long reaction time and excessive cracking causing high dry gas and coke yield.

[0007] CN113897215A discloses a method and system for catalytic cracking of heavy feedstock, which comprises catalytic cracking of heavy feedstock in a catalytic cracking reaction system, the catalytic cracking reaction system comprising a main downflow tube reactor, an auxiliary downflow tube reactor and a fluidized bed reactor, wherein the material outlets of the main downflow tube reactor and the auxiliary downflow tube reactor are both connected to the fluidized bed reactor. The method of the present application also combines hydro-upgrading and aromatic extraction, which can maximize the conversion of heavy oil feedstock into low-carbon olefins rich in propylene and ethylene, while co-producing benzene, toluene and xylene and other chemical raw materials. The first product, the first semi-catalyst, the second product and the second semi-catalyst need to be sent to the fluidized bed reactor for the third catalytic cracking reaction. The scheme is a combination of downflow bed and conventional fluidized bed, which may cause the problem of long reaction time and excessive cracking to cause high dry gas and coke yield.

[0008] CN 110540860 A discloses a process and system for catalytic cracking using double downflow tubes, which relates to a process and system for catalytic cracking using double downflow tubes, which comprises: a, feeding heavy feedstock into the upper part of the first downflow tube reactor and contacting the first catalytic cracking catalyst from the top of the first downflow tube reactor and performing the first catalytic cracking reaction from top to bottom; b, feeding light feedstock into the upper part of the second downflow tube reactor and contacting the second catalytic cracking catalyst from the top of the second downflow tube reactor and performing the second catalytic cracking reaction from top to bottom; c, feeding the first product and the first semi-catalyst obtained in step a and the second product and the second semi-catalyst obtained in step b into the fluidized bed reactor and contacting the third catalytic cracking catalyst and performing the third catalytic cracking reaction to obtain the third product and the catalyst. The scheme is a combination of downflow bed and conventional fluidized bed, which may cause the problem of long reaction time and excessive cracking to cause high dry gas and coke yield.
