Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of heavy oil processing, and particularly relates to a processing method for combined production of chemical raw materials by ebullated bed residue hydrotreating and hydrocracking, especially a processing method for producing high-quality chemical raw materials from inferior heavy oil. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the gradual reduction of light crude oil resources and the continuous increase of its price, processing inferior heavy oil with rich reserves, wide sources and low price has become a global trend. At the same time, the market demand for light oil products is increasing continuously, and the environmental protection regulations are becoming increasingly strict on the quality requirements of oil products. The above situation forces refineries to seriously face the worldwide technical problem of deep processing of inferior heavy oil. The ebullated bed residue hydrotreating technology can be used to process high-sulfur, high-carbon residue and high-metal heavy crude oil, and has the advantages of uniform temperature in the reactor, long operation cycle and flexible unit operation. It can solve the problems of low space velocity, fast catalyst deactivation and large system pressure drop in fixed bed residue hydrotreating units, and has obvious advantages.

[0003] 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.

[0004] CN201480037272.7 discloses a method for producing light olefin hydrocarbon compounds from a hydrocarbon raw material, including the following steps: (a) feeding the hydrocarbon raw material to a reaction zone for ring opening; (b) separating the reaction product generated from 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 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 to a steam cracker unit.

[0038] 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. Through research, the inventor found that by passing the fluidized-bed light distillate oil raw material through the shape-selective cracking of straight-chain alkanes and the selective hydrocracking of long side chains on isohydrocarbons or cyclic hydrocarbons in sequence, monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons can be retained as much as possible, and small-molecule normal alkanes can be selectively produced, thereby achieving the efficient enrichment of small-molecule normal alkanes in the low-carbon olefin raw material, and at the same time retaining monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons in heavy naphtha as much as possible to achieve the efficient enrichment of high-quality reforming raw materials. In this way, the yield of chemical raw materials (i.e., low-carbon olefin raw materials and reforming raw materials) and the quality of low-carbon olefin raw materials and reforming raw materials can be greatly improved, thus completing the present invention.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0040] (1) In the processing method of producing chemical raw materials from vacuum residue of the present invention, an appropriate conversion depth is controlled in the fluidized-bed hydrotreating reaction zone to ensure a high content of normal hydrocarbons in the fluidized-bed hydrotreated light distillate oil. By controlling the aromatic content of the fluidized-bed light distillate oil, the reforming raw material distillation range is broadened, which can not only improve the chemical raw material yield, but also increase the aromatic content in the fluidized-bed light distillate oil. Through hydrocracking, heavy naphtha with a higher aromatic enrichment degree is produced, and at the same time, the ethylene raw material production is increased. Specifically, the fluidized-bed hydrotreated light distillate oil first contacts with the first hydrocracking catalyst to carry out chain-breaking reactions on straight-chain hydrocarbons, and by controlling the C7 normal hydrocarbon content in the shape-selective cracking reaction effluent within a certain range, it is ensured that the straight-chain hydrocarbons are enriched in the light naphtha and gas products after the cracking reaction. Then, the second hydrocracking is carried out to selectively break the chains of isohydrocarbons, so as to realize the efficient separation of alkanes and cyclic hydrocarbons in the fluidized-bed hydrotreated light distillate oil, increase the production of high-quality ethylene cracking feed, and improve the quality of heavy naphtha as the catalytic reforming feed. + The cyclic hydrocarbon enrichment degree in the hydrocracked product light distillate oil is high, and the alkane content is low. Using this as the catalytic reforming raw material, the catalytic reforming unit only needs to adopt two reaction zones of six-membered ring dehydrogenation and five-membered ring isomerization dehydrogenation, cancel the alkane cyclization reaction zone, and greatly reduce the 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 above C9 can be selectively carried out, so that the C6-C8 cyclic hydrocarbons in the product have a high enrichment degree, and the BTX yield can be greatly increased after catalytic reforming and aromatics extraction.

[0041] (2) The cyclic hydrocarbon enrichment degree in the hydrocracked product light distillate oil is high, and the alkane content is low. Using this as the catalytic reforming raw material, the catalytic reforming unit only needs to adopt two reaction zones of six-membered ring dehydrogenation and five-membered ring isomerization dehydrogenation, cancel the alkane cyclization reaction zone, and greatly reduce the 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 above C9 can be selectively carried out, so that the C6-C8 cyclic hydrocarbons in the product have a high enrichment degree, and the BTX yield can be greatly increased after catalytic reforming and aromatics extraction.

[0042] (4) The present invention selectively converts alkanes in the light fraction of the ebullated bed into small - molecule alkanes. This process consumes a certain amount of hydrogen. However, as the light hydrocarbons are used as raw materials for the ethylene plant, their hydrogen production rate is also high, and the lower the carbon number, the higher the hydrogen production rate. Therefore, most of the hydrogen consumed in the hydrogenation process can be recovered after passing through the ethylene plant. At the same time, as raw materials for ethylene, the light hydrocarbons can significantly increase the yields of ethylene, propylene, and butadiene, and extend the cleaning cycle of the ethylene plant, significantly improving the economic benefits of the plant.
