Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of petroleum refining, and in particular relates to a hydrocracking method for improving the yield of heavy naphtha. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, stringent environmental regulations and economic development in my country have led to a rapid increase in demand for aromatic feedstocks in the oil market. The hydrocracking process converts heavy, low-quality crude oils into lighter products, with heavy naphtha being a key feedstock for aromatics production. Currently, recycling diesel and tail oil fractions back into the hydrocracking reactor is an effective way to increase heavy naphtha production. However, this method can lead to over-cracking of hydrocarbons, increasing the yield of light hydrocarbons.

[0003] CN 110835550B discloses a hydrocracking method for producing chemical raw materials. This method utilizes a preferred hydrorefining catalyst and a hydrocracking catalyst to process heavy crude oil in a single-stage, series, single-pass process. The naphtha yield can reach approximately 33%. This single-pass process also produces some middle distillates and tail oil, limiting the naphtha yield.

[0004] CN 111117702A discloses a hydrocracking method for producing high-yield heavy naphtha and jet fuel fractions. The feedstock is mixed with hydrogen, heated, and sequentially passed through a hydrorefining reaction zone and a hydrocracking reaction zone. The resulting reaction products are separated into a light naphtha fraction, a heavy naphtha fraction, a jet fuel fraction, a diesel fraction, and a tail oil fraction. A portion of the diesel fraction is recycled to the hydrocracking reaction zone. Two hydrocracking catalyst grades are used in the hydrocracking reaction zone. This method maximizes the production of heavy naphtha and jet fuel components at high conversion rates, while maintaining relatively high yields of lower-value-added products such as dry gas, liquefied gas, and light naphtha.

[0005] CN109777512A discloses a hydrocracking method for increasing the yield of heavy naphtha. This method utilizes the concept of hydrocarbon zoning intensification to return the products from the fractionation system to the catalyst beds in the hydrocracking reactor via a series of partial circulation processes, thereby achieving the goal of increasing heavy naphtha production. However, this method still results in over-cracking at the bottom of the hydrocracking reactor, resulting in a high yield of dry gas and liquefied gas. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention provides a hydrocracking method for increasing the yield of heavy naphtha.

Preferably, the first hydrocracking catalyst contains 25% to 40% by weight of the Group VIB and / or Group VIII metal.

[0023] In the method of the present invention, the ratio of the first feed to the second feed in step (4) is 1:2 to 2:1.

[0024] Normally, the diesel fraction and the tail oil fraction are circulated to the hydrocracking reactor to increase the conversion depth and the yield of heavy naphtha. However, under conventional hydrocracking reaction conditions (high temperature and high pressure), the adsorption effect of the hydrocracking catalyst on the heavy component is significantly stronger than that on the lighter component, which can easily lead to the lighter component being unable to complete shallow cracking to produce heavy naphtha products. When the diesel and tail oil fractions are circulated to the hydrocracking reactor, the two fractions will be mixed with the hydrorefined raw materials and then enter the hydrocracking reactor. At this time, the catalyst system and reaction conditions in the cracking reactor are not well suitable for the diesel fraction, which can easily cause excessive cracking reaction, thereby increasing the yield of light hydrocarbons.

[0025] The present invention utilizes two hydrocracking reactors, one high-pressure and one medium-pressure. Based on the differences in adsorption energy of different components on the active sites of the hydrocracking catalyst (aromatics have much greater adsorption energy than cycloalkanes and paraffins), the aromatics-rich fraction reacts in the first hydrocracking reactor (high pressure) and the cycloalkanes- and paraffins-rich fraction reacts in the second hydrocracking reactor (medium pressure). Aromatic components are better adsorbed and reacted under high-pressure conditions, while cycloalkanes and paraffins also adsorb and react well under medium-pressure conditions. Adjusting the content of the various components of the feedstock entering the reactors avoids competitive adsorption between the different components, better matching the catalyst, feedstock, and reaction conditions, and cracking the feedstock into a higher proportion of the heavy naphtha fraction. The invention avoids the problem in the prior art of recycling diesel and tail oil fractions to the hydrocracking reactor to increase the production of heavy naphtha, which causes the paraffin, cycloparaffin and aromatic components to accumulate at the bottom of the hydrocracking reactor, the concentration of paraffin and cycloparaffin components is higher than that of aromatics, and the reactor pressure is high, which easily leads to excessive cracking of paraffin and cycloparaffin.
