Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of petrochemicals, and in particular relates to a method and system for producing lubricating oil base oil. Background Technology
[0002] With increasingly stringent environmental regulations and the rapid development of the machinery industry, higher and higher requirements are being placed on the performance of lubricating oil base oils. Traditional lubricating oil base oil production employs solvent refining processes, which mainly involve two steps: solvent refining to remove non-ideal components such as aromatics and solvent dewaxing to ensure the low-temperature flow properties of the base oil. In addition, supplementary refining with clay or hydrotreating is generally required. However, the development and application of traditional processes are limited by high energy consumption and heavy pollution. In recent years, the hydrotreating process for lubricating oil production has developed rapidly. The hydrotreating process refers to the production of lubricating oil base oils using hydrocracking or a combined process of hydrotreating-isomerization dewaxing-hydrorefining. It offers advantages such as greater feedstock flexibility, higher base oil yield, and higher economic value of by-products.
[0003] In existing methods for preparing high viscosity index lubricating oil base oil products, some employ a full-range or wide-range feedstock and produce high viscosity index lubricating oil base oils through a stepwise isomerization dewaxing-product separation method. Others cut the raw material into narrow fractions and then use these narrow fractions as feedstocks for hydroisomerization dewaxing, thus solving the problem of producing high viscosity index light lubricating oil base oils.
[0004] CN102911726A discloses a method for producing high viscosity index lubricating oil base oil. The method uses waxy oil that does not require pre-fractionation as feed for hydroisomerization dewaxing. The oil first enters the first hydroisomerization dewaxing reaction zone to complete a hydroisomerization reaction of appropriate depth. The reaction products are then fractionated to obtain a light lubricating oil base oil product with a high viscosity index and a pour point that meets the requirements, as well as a heavy base oil component with a relatively high pour point. The heavy base oil component continues to enter the second hydroisomerization dewaxing reaction zone, where the reaction products are fractionated to obtain a heavy lubricating oil base oil product with a high viscosity index and a pour point that meets the requirements.
[0005] US7,198,710 discloses a method for producing high viscosity index lubricating oil base oil from Fischer-Tropsch wax. First, the Fischer-Tropsch wax is fractionated to obtain light and heavy components. Then, hydroisomerization dewaxing is performed on each component to lower its pour point, resulting in a light lubricating oil base oil with a pour point that meets the requirements. Since the heavy component does not meet the pour point requirements after hydroisomerization dewaxing, solvent dewaxing is used to further lower the pour point of the heavy component, finally yielding a heavy lubricating oil base oil product with a pour point that meets the requirements.
[0006] In summary, while using full-range or wide-range feedstocks can produce lubricating oil base oils that simultaneously meet both pour point and viscosity index requirements, heavy lubricating oil base oils may exhibit turbidity (higher cloud point) under certain low-temperature storage conditions. This significantly affects the appearance of the base oil and consequently impacts product sales. Although increasing the depth of secondary isomerization dewaxing or solvent dewaxing can lower the cloud point of the base oil, it also results in a loss of viscosity index, leading to a trade-off and ultimately low economic efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0007] During their research, the inventors discovered that long-chain isoalkanes and long-side-chain monocyclic cycloalkanes are ideal components for high viscosity index lubricating oil base oils. However, apart from Fischer-Tropsch synthetic oils (FT oils) and polyesters, raw materials for producing lubricating oil base oils from natural petroleum products, such as hydrocracking tail oils, hydrotreated wax oils, hydrorefined wax residues, and hydrorefined wax pastes, contain not only long-chain isoalkanes, long-side-chain monocyclic cycloalkanes, and long-chain monocyclic aromatics, but also a certain amount of bicyclic or higher cycloalkanes and aromatics—non-ideal components. These non-ideal components cannot be converted into high viscosity index components during isomerization dewaxing and pour point depressing, and their presence severely restricts the improvement of the viscosity index of isomerization dewaxing products-lubricating oil base oils. The inventors proposed that if these non-ideal components in the raw materials can be removed beforehand, without subsequent isomerization dewaxing treatment, the viscosity index of isomerization dewaxing products-lubricating oil base oils can be improved, and the hydrogen consumption in the isomerization dewaxing process can be significantly reduced, thereby lowering equipment operation and production costs. This invention is based on the above-mentioned findings.
[0008] To address the problems and shortcomings of existing technologies, the main objective of this invention is to provide a method and system for producing low-cloud-point lubricating oil base oil. First, a primary selective adsorption process separates non-ideal components such as bicyclic or higher-ring cycloalkanes and some aromatics from the lubricating oil base oil feedstock. This process targets only the pre-treated feedstock rich in long-chain alkanes, long-side-chain monocyclic cycloalkanes, and long-chain monocyclic aromatics for isomerization and pour point depletion. The separated non-ideal components undergo hydrorefining to produce the lubricating oil base oil product. The isomerized and poured point depleted oil then undergoes a secondary selective adsorption process to adsorb unconverted long-chain n-alkanes, long-side-chain monocyclic cycloalkanes, long-chain monocyclic aromatics, and lightly isomerized long-chain isoalkanes that affect the oil's cloud point. This process is repeated with another isomerization and pour point depletion reaction, ultimately producing a low-cloud-point, high-viscosity-index lubricating oil base oil product.
[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned objective, the first aspect of the present invention provides a method for producing a low cloud point lubricating oil base oil, comprising the following steps:
[0010] (1) The raw material enters the first reaction zone and is processed by contacting the catalyst. After processing, the first feed stream is obtained.
[0011] (2) The first feed obtained in step (1) is mixed with hydrogen and then enters the hydrorefining reaction zone, where it reacts with the hydrorefining catalyst. The reaction products are separated to obtain light white oil, industrial white oil and rubber filler oil.
[0012] (3) When the refractive index (20°C) of the first feed stream is 0.1% to 5% higher than that of the raw material (20°C), preferably 0.5% to 2.5%, the raw material is stopped from entering the first reaction zone, and hydrogen is introduced into the first reaction zone. Under the action of the catalyst, the isomerization dewaxing reaction occurs. The isomerization dewaxing reaction products are separated by gas and liquid to obtain gaseous feed stream and isomerization dewaxing oil.
[0013] (4) The isomerized pour point depressed oil from step (3) enters the second reaction zone and is processed by contacting the catalyst. After processing, the second stream is obtained. The second stream is separated to obtain light lubricating oil base oil, medium lubricating oil base oil and heavy lubricating oil base oil products.
[0014] (5) When the refractive index (20°C) of the second feed stream is 0.1% to 3% higher than that of the isomeric pour point depressant (20°C), preferably 0.3% to 2%, the isomeric pour point depressant is stopped from entering the second reaction zone, hydrogen is introduced into the second reaction zone, and a reaction occurs under the action of a catalyst. The reaction products are separated into gas phase feed stream and liquid phase feed stream after gas-liquid separation. The liquid phase feed stream is mixed with the second feed stream for separation.

[0072] Compared with the prior art, the production method and system for low cloud point lubricating oil base oil provided by the present invention have the following advantages:
[0073] 1. The method provided by this invention pre-treats the raw materials by adsorption, separating non-ideal components and ensuring that only raw materials rich in ideal components such as long-chain isoalkanes, long-side-chain monocyclic cycloalkanes, and long-chain monocyclic aromatics undergo isomerization and dewaxing reactions. This results in the production of high viscosity index lubricating oil base oil products, significantly reducing the participation of non-ideal components in the hydrogenation reaction. This reduces the isomerization and dewaxing processing load, decreases hydrogen consumption, and improves the economic efficiency of the equipment. Furthermore, the applicant discovered during the research process that adding type 5A molecular sieves to the currently used hydroisomerization dewaxing catalyst has a selective adsorption effect on the raw materials of lubricating oil base oil under the condition of no hydrogen presence. This can separate low viscosity index non-ideal components such as bicyclic or higher-ring cycloalkanes and some aromatics from the raw materials, thereby reducing the content of low viscosity index components in the lubricating oil base oil products and increasing the viscosity index of the lubricating oil base oil products.
[0074] 2. The molecular sieve composition provided by this invention is composed of 5A-type molecular sieves and TON-structured molecular sieves interlocked. The 5A-type molecular sieve possesses excellent adsorption capabilities and can enrich alkanes, while the TON-structured molecular sieve has a specific pore structure and suitable acidity, which is beneficial for the selective isomerization of alkanes. The molecular sieve composition provided by this invention combines both of these specific functions and maintains good adsorption performance even after loading with an active metal. Catalysts prepared using the molecular sieve composition provided by this invention, after isomerization and regeneration, still maintain good stability.
[0075] 3. In the lubricating oil base oil production method provided by the present invention, the adsorption separation efficiency is characterized by the change in the refractive index of the raw material before and after adsorption treatment. This parameter is simple and convenient to measure and can intuitively reflect the separation effect of ideal components such as long-chain isoalkanes, long side-chain monocyclic cycloalkanes and long-chain monocyclic aromatics in the raw material.
[0076] 4. The lubricating oil base oil production method provided by the present invention utilizes a catalyst that simultaneously possesses the selective adsorption capacity for long-chain isoalkanes, long-side-chain monocyclic cycloalkanes, and long-chain monocyclic aromatics, as well as the ability to selectively isomerize alkanes in the presence of hydrogen and under suitable reaction conditions. This simplifies the production process of high viscosity index lubricating oil base oil, reduces equipment investment, and lowers process hydrogen consumption. Attached Figure Description

[0080] In this document, for ease of description, spatial relative terms such as “below,” “under,” “down,” “above,” “over,” “up,” etc., are used to describe the relationship of one element or feature to another element or feature in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of an object in use or operation, in addition to those depicted in the figures. For example, if an object in the figure is flipped, an element described as “below” or “under” another element or feature would be oriented “above” that element or feature. Thus, the exemplary term “below” can encompass both the downward and upward orientations. An object may also have other orientations (rotated 90 degrees or other orientations), and the spatial relative terms used herein should be interpreted accordingly.
[0081] In this document, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used to distinguish two different elements or parts, and are not used to define specific positions or relative relationships. In other words, in some embodiments, the terms "first," "second," etc., can also be used interchangeably.
[0082] In this document, all numeric values of parameters (e.g., quantity or condition) should be understood to be modified by the term “about” in all cases, regardless of whether “about” actually appears before the numeric value.

[0090] like Figure 1As shown, the specific process of the production method of low cloud point lubricating oil base oil provided by the present invention is as follows: Raw material 1 first enters the first reaction zone, which includes reactors A2 and B3 connected in parallel. Reactors A2 and B3 are used interchangeably. Raw material 1 first enters reactor A2 in the first reaction zone and is treated by contacting the catalyst, resulting in feed stream 4. Feed stream 4 and hydrogen 33 enter the hydrorefining reaction zone 6 and react with the hydrorefining catalyst to obtain hydrorefining reaction product 7. Hydrorefining reaction product 7 enters the first gas-liquid separator 8 for separation to obtain the first gas phase feed stream 9 and the first liquid phase feed stream 10. The first liquid phase feed stream 10 enters the first fractionation tower 11 for separation to obtain light white oil and industrial grade oil. Industrial white oil and rubber filler oil; when the refractive index (20℃) of the first feed stream 4 is 0.1% to 5%, preferably 0.3% to 2.5%, higher than the refractive index (20℃) of the raw material 1, the feed material 1 is stopped from entering reactor A2 in the first reaction zone, and the feed material 1 is switched to enter reactor B3 connected in parallel with reactor A2, where it is treated in contact with the catalyst, and the treated product is feed stream 5; feed stream 5 and hydrogen 33 enter the hydrorefining reaction zone 6, where they react in contact with the hydrorefining catalyst to obtain hydrorefining reaction product 7; hydrorefining reaction product 7 enters the first gas-liquid separator 8 for separation to obtain the first gas phase feed stream 9 and the first liquid phase feed stream 10, and the first liquid phase feed stream 10 enters the first fractionation tower 11 for separation to obtain light white oil, Industrial white oil and rubber filler oil are processed. Hydrogen gas 33 is introduced into reactor A2, where an isomerization-depletion reaction occurs under the action of an adsorbent, yielding isomerization-depletion reaction product 15. Product 15 enters the isomerization-depletion gas-liquid separation zone 17 for separation, yielding a third gas phase stream 18 and isomerization-depletion oil 19. Isomerization-depletion oil 19 enters the second reaction zone, which includes reactors C20 and D21 connected in parallel. Reactors C20 and D21 are used interchangeably. Isomerization-depletion oil 19 first enters reactor C20 in the second reaction zone, where it is treated by contacting the catalyst. The resulting stream 22 enters the second fractionation tower 29, where it is separated to obtain light lubricating oil base oil, medium lubricating oil base oil, and... Heavy lubricating oil base oil products; when the refractive index (20℃) of the feed stream 22 is 0.1% to 3% higher than that of the isomerized pour point depressant 19 (20℃), preferably 0.3% to 2.0% higher, the isomerized pour point depressant 19 is stopped from entering the reactor C20 in the second reaction zone, and hydrogen is introduced into the reactor C20. Under the action of the adsorbent, the isomerization pour point depressant reaction reaction occurs, and the isomerization pour point depressant reaction product 24 is obtained. The isomerization pour point depressant reaction product 24 enters the second gas-liquid separator 26. After gas-liquid separation, the second gas phase feed stream 27 and the second liquid phase feed stream 28 are obtained. The second liquid phase feed stream 28 is mixed with the feed stream 22 and enters the second fractionation tower 29. After separation, light lubricating oil base oil, medium lubricating oil base oil and heavy lubricating oil base oil products are obtained.The isomerized pour point depressant 19 is switched to reactor D21, which is connected in parallel with reactor C20, and treated by contact with the adsorbent. The resulting feed stream 23 enters the second fractionation tower 29, where it is separated to obtain lubricating oil base oil products. When the refractive index (20°C) of feed stream 23 is 0.1% to 3%, preferably 0.3% to 2.0%, higher than that of isomerized pour point depressant 19, the flow of isomerized pour point depressant 19 into reactor D21 in the second reaction zone is stopped, and hydrogen is introduced into reactor D21. Under the action of the adsorbent, an isomerization and pour point depressant reaction occurs, yielding isomerization and pour point depressant reaction product 25. The isomerization and pour point depressant reaction product 25 enters the second gas-liquid separator 26, where it is separated to obtain a second gas phase feed stream 27 and a second liquid phase feed stream 28. The second liquid phase feed stream 28 is mixed with feed stream 22 and enters the second fractionation tower 29, where it is separated to obtain light lubricating oil base oil, medium lubricating oil base oil, and heavy lubricating oil base oil products.
