Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of petrochemical industry, and relates to a hydrocracking method and system, in particular to a single-stage full-cycle hydrocracking method and system for processing high-nitrogen raw materials for hydrocracking to produce more middle distillate oil. Background Art

[0002] With the structural adjustment of energy demand and product market, reducing diesel-to-gasoline ratio and reducing oil consumption and increasing chemical production are the current mainstream development trends. However, the current market demand for fuel products is still diversified, especially for diesel products, which have specific market demand, large transportation demand, diesel demand in northern my country and even in cold regions such as Europe. Generally speaking, the production process of increasing the production of intermediate distillate oil using wax oil as raw material still has a broad application market.

[0003] CN109988629A discloses a wax oil hydrocracking method, which is characterized in that the hydrorefined oil is separated into two parts after contact with a first hydrocracking catalyst, the product obtained by passing one part through a second hydrocracking catalyst is fractionated, and the hydrocracking tail oil obtained by the fractionation is mixed with the first hydrocracking stream and contacted with a hydroisomerization catalyst to obtain naphtha products, aviation kerosene products, etc. of different specifications.

[0004] CN109988629A discloses a two-stage hydrocracking method. This patent involves processing low-quality crude oil and hydrogen for a hydrorefining reaction, obtaining a hydrorefining effluent that undergoes gas-liquid separation. The liquid product enters an enhanced cracking reaction zone. The hydrocracking reaction zone contains two hydrocracking catalysts with different molecular sieve contents. The two catalysts work synergistically to significantly improve the quality of the hydrocracking products, particularly raising the smoke point of the jet fuel fraction.

[0005] CN111763533A discloses a method for processing heavy distillate oil. The ratio of the hydrogenation activity to the cracking activity of the hydrocracking catalyst in the hydrocracking reaction zone shows an increasing trend. This method can increase the yield of the jet fuel fraction while maintaining or even improving the quality of the jet fuel fraction. However, there is no significant improvement in the iodine value properties of the jet fuel. Summary of the Invention

[0006] During the research on the hydrocracking process, the applicant discovered that the full-cycle hydrocracking process for processing high-nitrogen feedstocks to produce the maximum amount of middle distillates using existing process methods has difficult-to-overcome technical bottlenecks, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects: on the one hand, the nitrogen content of the high-nitrogen feedstock is high (usually greater than 2500ppm) and the overall processing is difficult. To ensure the depth of conversion, it is necessary to operate at a relatively high reaction temperature. Operating at such a high temperature will cause the acidic sites of the carrier in the supplementary hydrorefining catalyst (mainly used for olefin hydrogenation and saturation) at the tail of the hydrocracking reactor to play a cracking role, and some saturated hydrocarbons will undergo cracking reactions to produce unsaturated hydrocarbons. The supplementary hydrorefining catalyst cannot fully achieve the saturation effect on the olefins in the feed, which in turn causes the iodine value of the jet fuel product to exceed the standard and fail to meet the use requirements. On the other hand, the operation of the hydrocracking unit at a relatively high reaction temperature, especially the operation of the last catalyst bed at a high reaction temperature, will cause more components to be excessively cracked to produce naphtha fractions, thereby reducing the yield of middle distillates.

[0007] In response to the aforementioned issues, the present invention primarily aims to provide a method and system for hydrocracking high-nitrogen feedstocks. This method proposes recycling a heavy naphtha fraction composed of a specific fraction back to the hydrocracking reactor via a specific location. This reduces the reaction temperature of the tail catalyst bed, and because the heavy naphtha fraction contains a relatively high amount of aromatic components, it competes with the aviation kerosene fraction for adsorption on the acidic sites of the supplemental hydrorefining catalyst, significantly reducing the unsaturated components in the aviation kerosene product fraction. Furthermore, the dynamic inhibition present during the reaction reduces the tendency of the aviation kerosene fraction to split into heavy naphtha components. This method not only increases the yield of intermediate distillate oil but also addresses the issue of excessively high iodine values ​​in the aviation kerosene fraction generated by processing high-nitrogen feedstocks, providing advantageous technical support for stable and efficient production in enterprises.

[0038] Compared with the existing hydrocracking process for the largest production of middle distillates, the technical advantages and effects of the hydrocracking method and system for high-nitrogen feedstocks provided by the present invention are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

On the one hand, the circulation of these fractions back to the hydrocracking reactor can adjust the catalyst bed temperature in the middle and lower part of the reactor, and the acidic activity of the supplementary hydrorefining catalyst is suppressed, thereby reducing the generation of unsaturated components; on the other hand, the light heavy naphtha fraction and the heavy heavy naphtha fraction have high aromatic hydrocarbon content and short-chain paraffin content, and form a competitive relationship with the aviation kerosene fraction in the catalyst bed at the bottom, which can reduce the generation of unsaturated hydrocarbons in the aviation kerosene fraction, thereby ensuring that the iodine value of the aviation kerosene product is qualified.

[0040] (2) During the research process, the applicant discovered that the hydrocracking reaction has a dynamic inhibition and guidance phenomenon in the cracking reaction zone, that is, in the hydrocracking process of the full-fraction reactants, the introduction of substances with a distillation range of A to B ° C will promote the reaction of substances with a distillation range of less than B ° C, while inhibiting the reaction of substances with a distillation range of more than B ° C. The light heavy naphtha fraction and the heavy heavy naphtha fraction are circulated to the bottom of the hydrocracking reactor to create a high-heavy naphtha atmosphere area, inhibiting the conversion of the jet fuel fraction to the heavy naphtha fraction, thereby increasing the yield of the intermediate distillate oil.
