Background Art
[0002] At present, the rapid growth in the demand for chemical raw materials has become the main driving force for the growth in crude oil demand. Therefore, producing chemical raw materials from crude oil is one of the main means for petroleum refining enterprises to transform and upgrade, improve quality, and increase efficiency. As the source processing unit of modern refineries, the atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit first separates crude oil according to different boiling points, and the obtained products are then subjected to secondary processing. As the most important means for producing chemical raw materials, how to achieve efficient combination with the atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit has become the key for refining enterprises to reduce consumption and increase efficiency.
[0003] Hydrocracking technology has the characteristics of strong feedstock adaptability, great flexibility in production operation and product scheme, and good product quality. It can directly convert various heavy and inferior feeds into high-quality jet fuels, diesel oils, lubricating oil base stocks, chemical naphtha, and feedstocks for steam cracking of ethylene from tail oil, which are urgently needed in the market. It has become one of the most important hydrocarbon deep processing processes in modern refining and petrochemical industries and has been increasingly widely used in various countries in the world.
[0004] CN201580070326.4 discloses a method for preparing LPG and BTX, including: a) subjecting a mixed hydrocarbon stream to a first hydrocracking in the presence of a first hydrocracking catalyst to prepare a first hydrocracking product stream; b) separating the first hydrocracking product stream to provide at least one light hydrocarbon stream containing at least C2 and C3 hydrocarbons, an intermediate hydrocarbon stream composed of C4 and / or C5 hydrocarbons, and a heavy hydrocarbon stream containing at least C6+ hydrocarbons, and c) subjecting the heavy hydrocarbon stream to a second hydrocracking in the presence of a second hydrocracking catalyst to prepare a second hydrocracking product stream containing BTX, wherein the second hydrocracking is more severe than the first hydrocracking, d) wherein, in the presence of a C4 hydrocracking catalyst, at least part of the intermediate hydrocarbon stream is subjected to C4 hydrocracking to prepare a C4 hydrocracking product stream, and the C4 hydrocracking is optimized for converting C4 hydrocarbons into C3 hydrocarbons.
[0005] CN201480037272.7 discloses a method for producing light olefin hydrocarbon compounds from hydrocarbon raw materials, comprising the following steps: (a) feeding the hydrocarbon raw materials into a reaction zone for ring opening; (b) separating the reaction products generated from the reaction zone into an overhead stream and a side stream; (c) feeding the side stream from (b) into a gasoline hydrocracker (GHC) unit; (d) separating the reaction products of the GHC in step (c) into an overhead stream containing hydrogen, methane, ethane and liquefied petroleum gas and a stream containing aromatic hydrocarbon compounds and a small amount of hydrogen and non-aromatic hydrocarbon compounds; (e) feeding the overhead stream from the gasoline hydrocracker (GHC) unit into a steam cracker unit.
[0006] In summary, petroleum hydrocarbons have a complex composition, mainly including alkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons. Among them, alkanes, especially small-molecule alkanes, are high-quality ethylene raw materials, while cycloalkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons are high-quality reforming feeds. In the prior art, for the conversion of crude oil, it is impossible to achieve the mixed processing of different fractions, nor can it selectively enrich alkanes (including long side chains on cyclic hydrocarbons) efficiently into ethylene raw materials and enrich cyclic hydrocarbons into reforming raw materials.

[0043] Petroleum hydrocarbons have a complex composition, mainly including alkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatics. High-quality ethylene raw materials are small-molecule normal alkanes, and reforming raw materials are monocyclic cycloalkanes and aromatics. The inventors have found through research that the overhead oil raw material of the atmospheric tower can pass through the shape-selective cracking of straight-chain alkanes and the selective hydrocracking of long side chains on isoparaffins or cyclic hydrocarbons in sequence to retain monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons as much as possible, and can highly selectively generate small-molecule normal alkanes, so as to realize the efficient enrichment of small-molecule normal alkanes in the light olefin raw materials, and at the same time retain monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons in the heavy naphtha as much as possible to realize the efficient enrichment of high-quality reforming raw materials. In this way, the purpose of greatly improving the yields of chemical raw materials (i.e., light olefin raw materials and reforming raw materials) and the qualities of light olefin raw materials and reforming raw materials can be achieved, and thus the present invention is completed.
[0044] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0045] (1) Reforming belongs to cyclization dehydrogenation reaction, which will not change the carbon number of hydrocarbons with different molecular structures in the raw material. Generally, by controlling the carbon number distribution of hydrocarbons in the raw material, the C9 + aromatic hydrocarbon yield in the reformed product oil is reduced, and the generation of low-value-added products is reduced. In the prior art, when producing catalytic reforming raw materials, in order to reduce the C9 + content of cyclic hydrocarbons, the final boiling point of heavy naphtha obtained by atmospheric distillation is usually controlled not to be higher than 180 °C. In the processing method for producing more chemical raw materials from crude oil of the present invention, by controlling the mass content of bicyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the overhead oil of the atmospheric column to be not higher than 1%, the C9 + content of cyclic hydrocarbons is increased, especially the C9 + content of monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons, while preventing bicyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with higher hydrogenation difficulty from entering the raw material. Then, through hydrocracking, C9 + cyclic hydrocarbons are converted into C6-C9 cyclic hydrocarbons, the final boiling point of the reforming raw material is increased, and the distillation range of the reforming raw material is broadened; as is well known, with the increase of the distillation range in crude oil, the content of cyclic hydrocarbons also increases. Increasing the final boiling point of the reforming raw material can not only increase the source of reforming raw materials, but also increase the yield of C6-C9 light aromatic hydrocarbons in the catalytic reforming unit, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of the reforming unit.
[0046] (2) In the processing method for producing more chemical raw materials from crude oil of the present invention, the overhead oil of the atmospheric column and hydrogen enter the first hydrocracking reaction zone, mainly to selectively crack the n-alkanes in the raw material and the long straight chains of isoalkanes and cycloalkanes containing long straight chains to generate small molecule n-alkanes, so that the content of C7 + n-alkanes in the first hydrocracking product is below 5%. The first hydrocracking product enters the second hydrocracking reaction zone, mainly to selectively crack the iso-side chains on the isoalkanes and cyclic hydrocarbons and retain the monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons. In this way, a large amount of chain alkanes in the raw material can be converted into gas and light naphtha components, that is, enriched in the raw material of the ethylene plant, while the monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons are retained in the heavy naphtha fraction, that is, enriched in the reforming raw material. Through simple fractionation, the efficient separation of paraffins and cyclic hydrocarbons can be achieved, increasing the production of high-quality ethylene cracking feedstock while improving the quality of heavy naphtha as catalytic reforming feedstock.
[0047] (3) The content of monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons in the heavy naphtha obtained by the method of the present invention is high. As the feedstock for the catalytic reforming unit, the alkane cyclization and dehydrogenation unit in the catalytic reforming unit can be cancelled, which can greatly reduce the investment and energy consumption of the catalytic reforming unit. At the same time, since the hydrocracking reaction follows the carbocation reaction mechanism, the side-chain breaking reaction of cyclic hydrocarbons with more than C9 can be selectively achieved, so that the C6-C8 cyclic hydrocarbons in the product have a higher enrichment degree, and the BTX yield can be greatly increased after catalytic reforming and aromatics extraction.
[0048] (4) The method of the present invention selectively converts the alkanes in the overhead oil of the atmospheric tower into small-molecule alkanes. This process consumes a certain amount of hydrogen, but the light hydrocarbons also have a high hydrogen yield as the feedstock for the ethylene unit. The lower the carbon number, the higher the hydrogen yield. Therefore, most of the hydrogen consumed in the hydrogenation process can be recovered after passing through the ethylene unit. At the same time, the light hydrocarbons as the ethylene feedstock can greatly increase the yields of ethylene, propylene and butadiene, and extend the cleaning cycle of the ethylene unit, significantly improving the economic benefits of the unit.

[0077] (1) After being electro-de-salted, the crude oil enters the flash column to separate the light naphtha fraction, and then enters the atmospheric column to separate the overhead oil of the atmospheric column, the side-draw oil of the atmospheric column, and the atmospheric residue.
[0078] (2) The overhead oil of the atmospheric column is mixed with hydrogen and successively enters the first hydrocracking reaction zone and the second hydrocracking reaction zone. The first hydrocracking reaction zone is filled with the shape-selective cracking catalyst Cat-A3; the second hydrocracking reaction zone is filled with the hydrocracking catalyst Cat-B1; in step (2), the content of C7 + n-paraffins in the reaction effluent from the first hydrocracking reaction is controlled to be 4%.
[0079] (3) In step (2), the reaction effluent from the second hydrocracking reaction zone is separated into a gas-phase stream and a liquid-phase stream. The gas-phase stream is recycled, and the liquid-phase stream enters the fractionating column, where gas fractions, light naphtha, heavy naphtha, and tail oil are fractionated. The tail oil is recycled to the inlet of the second hydrocracking reaction zone.

[0087] (3) The effluent from the second hydrocracking reaction zone in step (2) is separated into a gas-phase stream and a liquid-phase stream by gas-liquid separation. The gas-phase stream is recycled, and the liquid-phase stream enters the fractionating column, where gas fractions, light naphtha, heavy naphtha, and tail oil are fractionated.
