Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of heavy oil processing, and specifically relates to a method for producing chemical raw materials by combining ebullated bed residue oil hydrogenation and hydrocracking, in particular a processing method for producing high-quality chemical raw materials using vacuum residue oil as raw material. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the gradual decline in light crude oil resources and the continuous rise in its price, the global trend has shifted to processing low-quality heavy crude oil, which has abundant reserves, widespread availability, and low prices. Simultaneously, market demand for light oil products continues to increase, and environmental regulations on oil quality are becoming increasingly stringent. This situation has forced refineries to seriously address the global technical challenge of deep processing of low-quality heavy oil. Ebullating-bed residue hydrotreating technology can be used to process heavy crude oils with high sulfur, high carbon residue, and high metal content. It offers advantages such as uniform reactor temperature, long operating cycles, and flexible unit operation. It can address the problems of low space velocity, rapid catalyst deactivation, and large system pressure drop in fixed-bed residue hydrotreating units, offering significant advantages.

[0003] CN201580070326.4 discloses a method for preparing LPG and BTX, comprising: a) subjecting a mixed hydrocarbon stream to a first hydrocracking in the presence of a first hydrocracking catalyst to produce a first hydrocracked product stream; b) separating the first hydrocracked product stream to provide at least one light hydrocarbon stream comprising at least C2 and C3 hydrocarbons, an intermediate hydrocarbon stream consisting of C4 and / or C5 hydrocarbons, and a heavy hydrocarbon stream comprising at least C6+ hydrocarbons, and c) subjecting the heavy hydrocarbon stream to a second hydrocracking in the presence of a second hydrocracking catalyst to produce a second hydrocracked product stream comprising BTX, wherein the second hydrocracking is more severe than the first hydrocracking, d) wherein, in the presence of a C4 hydrocracking catalyst, at least a portion of the intermediate hydrocarbon stream is subjected to C4 hydrocracking to produce a C4 hydrocracking product stream, and the C4 hydrocracking is optimized for converting C4 hydrocarbons into C3 hydrocarbons.

[0004] CN201480037272.7 discloses a method for producing light olefin hydrocarbon compounds from hydrocarbon feedstocks, comprising the following steps: (a) feeding the hydrocarbon feedstock to a reaction zone for ring opening; (b) separating the reaction product produced by the reaction zone into an overhead stream and a side stream; (c) feeding the side stream from (b) to a gasoline hydrocracker (GHC) unit; (d) separating the reaction product of the GHC of step (c) into an overhead stream comprising hydrogen, methane, ethane and liquefied petroleum gas and a stream comprising 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 to a steam cracker unit.

[0005] In summary, petroleum hydrocarbons have a complex composition, mainly including chain alkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatics, among which chain alkanes, especially small molecular chain alkanes, are high-quality ethylene raw materials, while cycloalkanes and aromatics are high-quality reforming feeds. Ebullated bed hydrogenation is to make heavy raw materials undergo hydrogenation thermal cracking reaction in a hydrogen environment, following the free radical reaction mechanism. Its products have high content of normal hydrocarbons and cyclic hydrocarbons. The existing technology for hydrogenating distillate oil from ebullated bed residue cannot efficiently achieve the conversion effect of "olefins as appropriate, aromatics as appropriate". Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a processing method suitable for producing high-quality chemical raw materials by using vacuum residue as raw material through ebullated bed hydrogenation and hydrocracking.

[0040] According to the present invention, the tail oil obtained in step (3) is circulated to the second hydrocracking reaction zone.

[0041] Petroleum hydrocarbons are complex, primarily comprising paraffins, cycloalkanes, and aromatics. High-quality ethylene feedstocks are small-molecule normal alkanes, while reforming feedstocks are monocyclic cycloalkanes and aromatics. The inventors discovered through research that the technical solution of the present invention can maximize the retention of monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons and produce small-molecule normal alkanes with high selectivity, thereby achieving efficient enrichment of small-molecule normal alkanes in light olefin feedstocks. Simultaneously, it maximizes the retention of monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons in heavy naphtha, thereby achieving efficient enrichment of high-quality reforming feedstocks. This significantly improves the yield and quality of chemical feedstocks (i.e., ethylene feedstock and reforming feedstock), thereby completing the present invention.

[0042] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0043] (1) In the prior art, when ebullated bed wax oil is used as a raw material for hydrocracking to produce chemical raw materials, the final boiling point of the ebullated bed wax oil obtained by separation in the fractionation tower is generally 520-560°C, resulting in a high content of aromatic hydrocarbons larger than three rings in the wax oil fraction. A higher reaction pressure is required to achieve hydrocracking of three ring aromatics. However, a higher reaction pressure will also cause some monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to undergo ring-opening cracking during the hydrocracking process, resulting in loss of aromatic hydrocarbons. In the combined processing method of the present invention, by controlling the content of aromatic hydrocarbons larger than three rings in the ebullated bed full fraction wax oil to be no more than 1%, a suitable reaction pressure is selected to achieve mixed processing of aromatic hydrocarbons smaller than three rings, thereby reducing the loss of aromatic hydrocarbons in the raw material during the hydrogenation process and increasing the aromatic hydrocarbon content in the hydrogenated product. The side-line oil and hydrogen enter the first hydrocracking reaction zone, mainly to selectively crack the normal alkanes and the long straight-chain isoalkanes and cycloalkanes containing long straight chains in the raw material to generate small molecular normal alkanes, so that the C7 +The content of normal alkanes is between 0.1% and 5.0%. The effluent from the normal hydrocarbon conversion reaction enters the second hydrocracking reaction zone, which mainly performs ring-opening cracking of polycyclic cyclic hydrocarbons while retaining monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons and further breaks the side chains of each hydrocarbon to generate small molecular hydrocarbons. In this way, a large amount of chain alkanes in the feedstock can be converted into gas and light naphtha components, that is, enriched in the ethylene feedstock, while monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons are retained in the heavy naphtha fraction, that is, enriched in the reforming feedstock. Through simple fractional distillation, efficient separation of chain alkanes and cyclic hydrocarbons can be achieved, thereby increasing the production of high-quality ethylene cracking feed and improving the quality of heavy naphtha as catalytic reforming feed.

[0044] (2) The heavy naphtha obtained by the method of the present invention has a high content of monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons. When used as feed for a catalytic reforming unit, the cyclization and dehydrogenation units of the paraffins in the catalytic reforming unit can be eliminated, thereby significantly reducing the investment and energy consumption of the catalytic reforming unit. At the same time, since the hydrocracking reaction follows the positive carbon ion reaction mechanism, the cyclic hydrocarbons above C9 can be selectively subjected to side chain scission reactions, so that the C6-C8 cyclic hydrocarbons in the product have a high enrichment degree. After catalytic reforming and aromatics extraction, the BTX yield can be significantly increased.

[0045] (3) The present invention selectively converts the chain alkanes in the side-line oil into small-molecule alkanes. This process consumes a certain amount of hydrogen, but the hydrogen yield of light hydrocarbons as raw materials for ethylene plants is also high. 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 plant. At the same time, light hydrocarbons as ethylene raw materials can greatly increase the yields of ethylene, propylene and butadiene, and extend the rubber cleaning cycle of the ethylene plant, significantly improving the economic benefits of the plant.
