Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a processing method for crude oil, and particularly to a processing method for efficiently separating paraffins and cyclic hydrocarbons in crude oil by hydrocracking to produce chemical raw materials. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous increase in the demand for petroleum products, conventional crude oil resources are becoming increasingly depleted, and the supply of crude oil is showing a trend of heavy and inferior quality. At the same time, with the continuous increase in the demand for various light oils, the demand for fuel oils, especially some medium and high sulfur fuel oils, in various countries is continuously decreasing. Therefore, the use of appropriate processing technologies to improve the processing capacity of heavy / low-quality crude oil has become the key for refineries to increase economic benefits in the refining process. With the development and maturity of the refining industry, the use of production technologies for high-quality chemical raw materials and technologies for producing more aromatics and light olefins can rationally utilize petroleum resources, thereby promoting the improvement of enterprise economic benefits. As a development trend of refining technology, the integrated refining-chemical petroleum refining technology can, through the conversion of heavy oil, increase the production of chemical raw materials such as ethylene, propylene, and aromatics, and provide high-quality chemical raw materials for chemical plants such as ethylene and aromatics.
[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 prepare a first hydrocracking product stream; b) separating the first hydrocracking product stream to provide at least one light hydrocarbon stream comprising at least C2 and C3 hydrocarbons, an intermediate hydrocarbon stream composed 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 prepare a second hydrocracking 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 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 feedstock, 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 in 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 alkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatics. Among them, alkanes, especially small-molecule alkanes, are high-quality ethylene raw materials, while cycloalkanes and aromatics 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. Therefore, in view of the above problems, it is of great significance to develop an excellent processing method for producing high-quality chemical raw materials. Summary of the Invention

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0042] (1) In the prior art, when wax oil is used as a raw material for hydrocracking to produce chemical raw materials, the components above diesel oil are separated by the atmospheric and vacuum distillation towers and enter the vacuum tower. The final boiling point of the vacuum gas oil separated is generally 520 - 560 °C, resulting in a relatively high content of aromatics with more than three rings in the wax oil fraction. A relatively high reaction pressure is required to achieve the hydrocracking of three-ring aromatics, and a relatively high reaction pressure will also cause the ring opening and cracking of some single-ring aromatics during the hydrocracking process, resulting in the loss of aromatics. In the processing method of the present invention for producing chemical raw materials from crude oil, after the crude oil enters the atmospheric and vacuum distillation towers, it only undergoes simple topping treatment and then enters the vacuum tower. By controlling the content of aromatics with more than three rings in the overhead oil of the vacuum tower to be no higher than 1%, and selecting an appropriate reaction pressure, the mixed processing of aromatics with less than three rings is realized, reducing the loss of aromatics during the hydrogenation process and increasing the content of aromatics in the hydrogenation product. The overhead oil of the atmospheric tower and the overhead oil of the vacuum tower enter the first hydrocracking reaction zone with hydrogen. Mainly, the n-alkanes in the raw material and the long straight chains of isoparaffins and naphthenes containing long straight chains are selectively cracked to form small molecule n-alkanes, so that the content of C7 n-alkanes in the n-alkane conversion reaction effluent is 0.1% - 5.0%. The n-alkane conversion reaction effluent enters the second hydrocracking reaction zone, mainly to crack the polycyclic ring hydrocarbons and retain the monocyclic ring hydrocarbons and further break the side chains in each hydrocarbon to form small molecule hydrocarbons. In this way, a large amount of the straight-chain alkanes in the raw material can be converted into gas and light naphtha components, that is, enriched in ethylene raw materials, while the monocyclic ring hydrocarbons are retained in the heavy naphtha fraction, that is, enriched in reforming raw materials. 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. + The content of n-alkanes is 0.1% - 5.0%.

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.
[0043] Petroleum hydrocarbons have a complex composition, mainly including alkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatics. High-quality ethylene feedstocks are small-molecule normal alkanes, and reforming feedstocks are monocyclic cycloalkanes and aromatics. Through research, the inventors found that the technical solution of the present invention can retain monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons as much as possible and selectively generate small-molecule normal alkanes, thereby achieving the efficient enrichment of small-molecule normal alkanes in light olefin feedstocks, while retaining monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons in heavy naphtha as much as possible to achieve the efficient enrichment of high-quality reforming feedstocks. In this way, the purpose of greatly improving the yields of chemical feedstocks (i.e., ethylene feedstocks and reforming feedstocks) and the quality of ethylene feedstocks and reforming feedstocks can be achieved, and thus the present invention is completed.
[0044] (2) The heavy naphtha obtained by the method of the present invention has a high content of monocyclic cyclic hydrocarbons. As the feed 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 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 improved after catalytic reforming and aromatics extraction.
[0045] (3) The present invention selectively converts the alkanes in the overhead oil of the atmospheric tower and the overhead oil of the vacuum 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, and 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 improve the yields of ethylene, propylene and butadiene, and extend the cleaning cycle of the ethylene unit, significantly improving the economic benefits of the unit.
