Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of petroleum refining, and in particular relates to a two-stage full-circulation hydrocracking process and system which can extend the operation cycle of a device and improve the yield of heavy naphtha. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, the refining and petrochemical market has undergone tremendous changes. Hydrocracking technology has attracted more and more attention due to its flexible target products. At present, the development direction of hydrocracking technology is mainly concentrated in the following two directions: (1) improving the yield of target products; (2) large-scale equipment.
[0003] The hydrocracking process usually includes a single-stage hydrocracking process and a two-stage hydrocracking process, wherein the single-stage hydrocracking can be divided into a single-stage two-dose hydrocracking process, a single-stage series one-pass process, and a single-stage series circulation process. Taking the single-stage series as an example, the crude oil is processed by the hydrofining reactor and the hydrocracking reactor, and the reaction product enters the separation unit to obtain a series of products; in the two-stage process, the crude oil is processed by the hydrofining reactor and the hydrocracking reactor, and the reaction product enters the separation unit, and part of the product is discharged while part of the unconverted oil enters the second-stage hydrocracking reactor, and the obtained second-stage hydrocracking product is circulated to the separation unit. Since its cracking function is dispersed to two reactors, its processing volume is significantly increased compared with the single-stage hydrocracking. Therefore, the two-stage hydrocracking process has a strong development prospect. During the research and development process, emphasis should be placed on improving the long-term operation stability of the device and the heavy naphtha yield.
[0004] Catalytic diesel is a relatively difficult fraction to utilize in the petroleum refining and chemical industry due to its intrinsic characteristics. The ability to blend catalytic diesel will certainly enrich the technical options of refining and chemical companies and increase economic benefits.
[0005] CN109988607A discloses a flexible two-stage hydrocracking process, which is characterized in that the flow obtained by the wax oil raw material through the first hydrogenation pretreatment catalyst bed is divided into two streams, one stream is mixed with catalytic diesel and passed through the hydrotreatment reactor as a catalytic cracking raw material, and the other stream continues to be subjected to the hydrocracking reactor. Although this process can process wax oil and catalytic diesel at the same time, the hydrocracking process is in the conventional single-stage hydrocracking process and cannot achieve the maximum production of reforming raw materials.
[0006] CN109777500A discloses a two-stage hydrocracking method with gas-liquid countercurrent. The patent separates the refined product into gas and liquid through a flash tank. The liquid phase enters the hydrocracking reactor from the top and the gas phase enters from different bed positions of the hydrocracking reactor. This can effectively solve the problem of matching cracking and refining temperatures and increase the naphtha yield to a certain extent. Summary of the invention
[0007] In view of the low yield of heavy naphtha in the existing conventional two-stage hydrocracking process and the shortened operation cycle due to the accumulation of aromatics in the circulating oil, combined with the practical problem that catalytic diesel is difficult to use with high added value. The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a two-stage hydrocracking method that can process catalytic diesel in the two-stage hydrocracking process, while improving the long-term stability of the two-stage hydrocracking unit and the product yield of heavy naphtha, the raw material of the high-quality reforming unit.
[0008] The existing two-stage hydrocracking process has the following technical bottlenecks: (1) In the two-stage full-cycle hydrocracking process, since the unconverted oil from the second-stage hydrocracking directly enters the separation system without going through the hydrotreating reaction zone, some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that are difficult to undergo hydrocracking reactions will circulate in the system and accumulate to a certain amount, affecting the overall technical effect of the device; (2) The existing two-stage full-cycle process is difficult to break through the 70% mark of heavy naphtha selectivity by relying solely on catalyst performance upgrades. Increasing the reaction depth will lead to an increase in the yield of light naphtha and gas products, resulting in a decrease in the overall heavy naphtha selectivity.
[0009] During the research process, the applicant discovered that the hydrocracking reaction has a dynamic inhibition and guidance phenomenon in the cracking reaction area, that is, in the hydrocracking process of the full-fraction reactants, the introduction of substances with a distillation range of A to B°C will promote the substances with a distillation range of A to B°C to preferentially react with light components (<A°C), while inhibiting the reaction of substances with a distillation range of >B°C. Based on the above test, the applicant found that by optimizing the functional area of the two-stage hydrocracking reaction and the hydrocracking reaction path, the selectivity of the target product can be significantly improved while extending the operation cycle of the device.

[0042] An inlet I is provided at the top of the reactor, and heavy catalytic diesel and heavy tail oil enter the second-stage hydrocracking reactor through the inlet I;

When part of it enters the second-stage hydrocracking reactor, the rest can be used as a product outlet device; when it enters the second-stage hydrocracking reactor, it preferably enters the second-stage hydrocracking reactor through an inlet III on the reactor shell disposed between the hydrorefining catalyst bed and the hydrocracking catalyst bed II. The amount of light naphtha entering the second-stage hydrocracking reactor is 0% to 100% (wt) of the light naphtha product, preferably 10% to 50% (wt).
[0047] Compared with the prior art, the two-stage hydrocracking process provided by the present invention has the following advantages:
[0048] (1) The two-stage hydrocracking process of the present invention solves the problem of accumulation of polycyclic aromatics inherent in the traditional two-stage full-cycle wax oil hydrocracking process by setting a hydrorefining catalyst bed in the middle and lower part of the two-stage hydrocracking reactor to partially saturate the polycyclic aromatics in the two-stage hydrocracking reactor, while avoiding the problem that the hydrorefining catalyst bed is set at the top of the two-stage hydrocracking reactor, causing some light aromatics to be saturated first and then pass through the subsequent hydrocracking reaction zone to undergo excessive hydrocracking, resulting in an increase in the yield of gas and light naphtha products, thereby affecting the overall economic benefits. In the present invention, a hydrorefining catalyst bed is set in the middle and lower part of the two-stage hydrocracking reactor, and the yield of heavy naphtha is improved according to the gradual reaction law and combined with the use of dynamic inhibition phenomenon.
[0049] (2) In the two-stage hydrocracking process of the present invention, the catalytic diesel feedstock is cut into light and heavy components, the heavy catalytic diesel enters the second-stage hydrocracking reactor from the top inlet, and the light catalytic diesel enters the second-stage hydrocracking reactor from the inlet II, so that the processing load of the catalytic diesel at the top of the second-stage reactor is reduced, the heavy catalytic diesel that is difficult to react is fully reacted, and the light catalytic diesel is fed into the middle stage to reduce its tendency to produce light naphtha and gas products due to overreaction. At the same time, due to the introduction of light naphtha fraction, a high-density area of diesel fraction and light naphtha fraction is formed below the refined catalyst in the second-stage hydrocracking reactor. According to the principle of chemical equilibrium, the reaction of diesel fraction to obtain heavy naphtha is intensified, while the reaction of heavy naphtha to light naphtha is inhibited, so that the yield of heavy naphtha is improved. In summary, combined with the reasonable catalyst grading setting in the second-stage hydrocracking reactor, different material inlets are set at the same time, and different materials are allowed to enter different positions of the reactor through different inlets for reaction, so as to achieve the positive effect of blending catalytic diesel, and according to the gradual reaction law and combined with the dynamic inhibition theory, the yield of heavy naphtha is improved.
[0050] (3) In summary, the two-stage hydrocracking process of the present invention proposes a novel two-stage hydrocracking process by rationally allocating the processing raw materials and combining the adjustment of the process route, based on the dynamic inhibition phenomenon discovered by the applicant. While improving the selectivity of the heavy naphtha product of the device, it also solves the inherent problem of the two-stage full-cycle hydrocracking process that easily leads to the accumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and can process catalytic diesel raw materials that are currently difficult to reasonably and efficiently utilize, providing favorable technical support for the physical efficiency improvement of enterprises.
