Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of petrochemicals, and in particular relates to a method and system for treating inferior hydrocarbon-containing raw materials using a combined process. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the deep processing of low-quality heavy oil has become a key focus of technological development in the oil refining industry, mainly including hydrotreating and decarbonization technologies. Among them, fluidized bed heavy oil hydrotreating technology has significant advantages in the light processing of heavy oil, with advantages such as online catalyst replacement, high utilization rate, long operating cycle, and flexible unit operation. It can meet the requirements of large-scale units and long-cycle operation, and plays a crucial role in the current refining and chemical transformation process.

[0003] In the fluidized bed residue hydrotreating process, the residue oil conversion rate is typically between 60% and 80%, leaving a considerable proportion of unconverted oil that requires processing. The efficiency of its utilization directly impacts the economics of the fluidized bed hydrotreating process. While increasing the conversion rate can reduce the unconverted oil yield to some extent, it significantly increases the operational demands of the fluidized bed hydrotreating unit, increases catalyst consumption, and affects the long-term stable operation of the unit. Therefore, optimizing the processing technology based on the characteristics of the unconverted oil, and establishing a coupling technology between fluidized bed hydrotreating and other processes, is currently the main research direction.

[0004] CN 103102986 A discloses a combined process of residue oil hydrotreating and delayed coking. In this method, residue oil, coking wax oil, and hydrogen are fed together into a hydrotreating unit. The hydrotreated residue oil is then mixed with separated vacuum gas oil and fed into a delayed coking unit to separate coking products. All coking gas oil is recycled back to the residue oil hydrotreating unit. While the hydrotreated vacuum gas oil has superior properties, using it as a coking feedstock generates dry gas and petroleum coke, resulting in a lower overall liquid yield, reduced economic efficiency, and an inability to significantly improve the hydrotreating effect of the unit.

[0005] CN103059998A discloses a combined process for treating residual oil. In this method, the liquid phase product from the residual oil feedstock after fluidized bed hydrotreatment is directly fed into a coking fractionation tower without fractionation. There, it comes into counter-current contact with coking gas and is fractionated to obtain a wax oil fraction, which then enters a wax oil hydrotreatment unit. The resulting liquid phase product is used as feedstock for catalytic cracking. The circulating oil obtained from the coking fractionation tower is returned to the delayed coking unit. This process requires separate refining of the coking wax oil fraction. Since coking wax oil has high nitrogen content, high-pressure hydrotreatment is necessary, increasing the investment cost of the equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0032] A second aspect of the present invention provides a combined processing system for inferior hydrocarbon-containing raw materials, the combined processing system comprising a fluidized bed reaction zone and a coking reaction zone;

[0033] The fluidized bed reaction zone includes a first fluidized bed reaction zone and a second fluidized bed reaction zone arranged in series. It is used to receive hydrocarbon-containing raw materials and hydrogen gas, and the hydrocarbon-containing raw materials and hydrogen gas undergo a hydrogenation reaction after contact.

[0034] The first separation system includes a gas-liquid separation unit and a first fractionation unit, which is used to receive and separate the reaction products from the fluidized bed reaction zone, and obtain gas, hydrotreated naphtha, hydrotreated diesel, hydrotreated wax oil and unconverted oil after separation.

[0035] The coking reaction zone is used to receive unconverted oil from the separation system. The unconverted oil undergoes a coking reaction, and the reaction yields petroleum coke, gaseous and liquid fractions.

[0036] The second separation system is used to receive and separate the liquid phase fraction from the coking reaction zone, and the separated fractions are coking naphtha, coking diesel, coking light wax oil, coking heavy wax oil and coking cycle oil.

[0038] Furthermore, in the aforementioned combined processing system for inferior hydrocarbon-containing raw materials, the coking heavy wax oil is connected to the first fluidized bed reaction zone via pipeline.

[0039] Furthermore, the aforementioned inferior hydrocarbon feedstock combined processing system also includes a catalytic cracking reaction zone, which is used to receive hydrogenated wax oil from the first separation system. After the hydrogenated wax oil undergoes a catalytic cracking reaction, it yields cracked gas, catalytic gasoline, catalytic diesel, catalytic cycle oil, and catalytic slurry.

[0040] Furthermore, in the aforementioned combined treatment system for inferior hydrocarbon-containing feedstocks, the catalytic circulating oil is connected to the coking heavy wax oil pipeline via a pipeline, and is also connected to the first fluidized bed reaction zone via a pipeline. Preferably, a separation device is installed on the pipeline, and the separation device is a filter, wherein the filter can be at least one of a backwash filter and a ceramic membrane filter.

[0041] Furthermore, in the aforementioned combined treatment system for inferior hydrocarbon feedstocks, the catalytic slurry is connected to the first fluidized bed reaction zone and / or the coking reaction zone via pipelines. More preferably, a portion of the catalytic slurry is connected to the first fluidized bed reaction zone via pipelines, and the remaining portion of the catalytic slurry is connected to the coking reaction zone via pipelines.

[0042] Furthermore, in the aforementioned combined processing system for inferior hydrocarbon-containing raw materials, the coking reaction zone includes at least one heating furnace, two coking towers, and one fractionation tower, comprising two processes: continuous coking and intermittent decoking.

[0043] Furthermore, in the aforementioned combined treatment system for inferior hydrocarbon-containing feedstocks, the coking circulating oil is connected to the inlet of the coking reaction zone via pipeline.

[0044] Furthermore, in the aforementioned combined processing system for inferior hydrocarbon feedstocks, both the first and second fluidized bed reaction zones are equipped with at least one fluidized bed hydrogenation reactor. The fluidized bed reactor can be at least one of existing fluidized bed reactors, specifically a fluidized bed reactor with a circulating cup, or the STRONG fluidized bed reactor with a built-in three-phase separator developed by Sinopec (Dalian) Petrochemical Research Institute Co., Ltd., with the STRONG fluidized bed reactor with a built-in three-phase separator being preferred. When using a fluidized bed reactor with a circulating cup, a device with gas-liquid separation function needs to be installed between the first and second fluidized bed reaction zones, such as a high-pressure separator. Its main purpose is to separate the hydrogen and light hydrocarbon components from the heavy fraction in the reaction products of the first fluidized bed reactor.

[0045] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned combined treatment system for inferior hydrocarbon-containing raw materials, a gas-liquid separator may or may not be installed between the first and second fluidized bed reaction zones. When a gas-liquid separator is installed, the reaction products in the first fluidized bed reaction zone are separated to obtain gas-liquid flow and liquid flow, and the liquid flow enters the second fluidized bed reaction zone for processing.

[0046] Furthermore, in the aforementioned combined processing system for inferior hydrocarbon-containing feedstocks, the first separation system includes a first gas-liquid separator, a second gas-liquid separator, a third gas-liquid separator, and a first fractionation tower. The reaction products obtained from the second fluidized bed reaction zone first enter the first gas-liquid separator, where a first gaseous stream and a first liquid stream are separated. The first gaseous stream and, optionally, the gaseous stream separated from the first fluidized bed reaction zone, enter the second gas-liquid separator, where they are separated to obtain a second gaseous stream and a second liquid stream. The first liquid stream enters the third gas-liquid separator, where it is separated to obtain a third gaseous stream and a third liquid stream. The second and third gaseous streams are mixed and processed in a hydrogen recovery unit to obtain recycled hydrogen. The second and third liquid streams enter the first fractionation tower for separation to obtain hydrotreated naphtha, hydrotreated diesel, hydrotreated wax oil, and unconverted oil.

[0047] The combined processing technology and system for treating inferior hydrocarbon-containing raw materials provided by this invention have the following advantages:

[0048] 1. The combined processing technology and system for inferior hydrocarbon-containing raw materials provided by this invention organically combines hydrogenation and decarbonization processes, and assigns them suitable processing methods according to the characteristics of different materials, so as to achieve efficient processing and utilization of heavy oil, and obtain high-value light chemical raw materials (or clean oil products) and high-value-added low-sulfur petroleum coke; at the same time, the conversion rate of fluidized bed hydrogenation can be flexibly adjusted to ensure long-term operation of the unit.

[0049] 2. In the combined processing technology and system for inferior hydrocarbon-containing raw materials provided by the present invention, coking wax oil is returned to the fluidized bed reaction zone for further processing, making full use of existing equipment to process inferior coking wax oil and providing a new processing route for coking wax oil; at the same time, this process can achieve low circulation ratio operation in the coking process, reduce the yield of coking dry gas and petroleum coke, and increase the yield of liquid oil products.

[0050] 3. The inferior hydrocarbon-containing feedstock combined processing technology and system provided by this invention separates coking wax oil into light coking wax oil and heavy coking wax oil according to their property differences, and sends them to different fluidized bed reaction zones for processing, achieving a perfect match between component utilization and reaction zone operating conditions. This solves the problem of high investment costs in existing technologies where high nitrogen content (mainly difficult-to-remove basic nitrogen) and aromatics in coking wax oil necessitates hydrogenation under harsh operating conditions to obtain feedstocks that meet usage requirements (such as catalytic cracking). Simultaneously, it solves the problem in existing technologies where increasing the coking cycle ratio to reduce coking wax oil pressure leads to a significant decrease in liquid recovery, the generation of low-value dry gas, and reduced economic benefits.

[0051] 4. The combined treatment process and system for inferior hydrocarbon-containing feedstocks provided by this invention proposes mixing catalytic circulating oil and coking heavy wax oil, treating them through a filter, and then recycling them back to the first fluidized bed reaction zone. On the one hand, the presence of catalytic circulating oil helps reduce the viscosity of the coking heavy wax oil, enhances the filtration and separation effect, and facilitates the removal of coke dust contained in the coking heavy wax oil. On the other hand, the presence of catalytic circulating oil can also improve the system stability of the fluidized bed hydrogenation process, enabling long-term operation of the unit. The coke dust in the heavy wax oil can be discharged through the waste catalyst discharge system of the fluidized bed reactor.

[0052] 5. Compared to straight-run wax oil, coking wax oil has a higher nitrogen and aromatic content, with nitrogen compounds mainly consisting of difficult-to-remove basic nitrogen. If this fraction is discharged externally, a highly demanding hydrogenation process is required before it can be used as feedstock for catalytic cracking, resulting in relatively high investment costs. Increasing the coking recycle ratio to reduce the pressure of coking wax oil significantly reduces liquid yield, generating low-value dry gas and decreasing economic efficiency. This invention utilizes a fluidized bed hydrogenation unit, using its unconverted oil as coking feedstock to produce low-sulfur petroleum coke. The higher hydrogenation pressure is well-suited for removing aromatics and nitrogen compounds from the coking wax oil system.

[0053] 6. Compared with the existing fluidized bed addition and discharge process (where the conveying oil for the fluidized bed catalyst is the fluidized bed wax oil fraction), using coking wax oil rich in sulfur and olefins as the catalyst addition and discharge conveying oil can mitigate the problem of temperature instability in the fluidized bed system caused by the addition of conveying oil due to temperature drop by the exothermic reaction of the conveying oil itself.

[0054] 7. In the inferior hydrocarbon feedstock combination treatment process and system provided by the present invention, adding coking wax oil to the residue oil system can significantly improve the impurity removal effect, and the impurity content of the fluidized bed hydrogenated unconverted oil can be significantly reduced, which is beneficial to improving coking feed and ensuring the production of high-quality petroleum coke products.
