Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of petroleum chemical technology, in particular, to a method and system for steam cracking heavy hydrocarbon. BACKGROUND
[0002] Compared with traditional cracking feedstock, heavy hydrocarbon (crude oil, etc.) has high end boiling point (greater than 520℃), contains impurities such as resin and asphaltene, is not easy to vaporize, and is prone to coking when used as a steam cracking furnace feedstock. Therefore, the design of the cracking furnace and the production process need to be handled and improved accordingly to adapt to the characteristics of heavy hydrocarbon (crude oil, etc.).
[0003] CN111196936A discloses a combined processing method and device for producing olefins by cracking crude oil. The method first removes impurities through pretreatment such as desalting and dewatering, then sends the feedstock into the convection section of the ethylene cracking furnace for heating, and the heated feedstock is sent into a gas-liquid separator. The lighter diesel and lighter components are separated and sent into the convection section and the radiant section for steam cracking reaction to produce olefins. The liquid phase from the gas-liquid separator contains atmospheric residue and other components, which is sent into a hydrogenation unit for further treatment and then returned to the convection section and the radiant section. This method can use less components of crude oil.
[0004] CN107001955A discloses a method for thermal cracking of crude oil and heavy feedstock in a pyrolysis reactor to produce olefins. The method describes a scheme of a cracking furnace convection section and a multi-stage (up to 3 stages) separator or a combination with a fractionating column. The method can perform gas-liquid separation of a mixture of crude oil and steam multiple times, and send mixtures of different weights into different radiant section furnace tubes for cracking. The method mentions that when heavier fractions need to be vaporized, the crude oil is preheated in an external heat exchanger before entering the convection section of the cracking furnace, but does not specify the source of heat exchange. The method separates the mixture through a multi-stage separator, a fractionating column, and different radiant furnace tubes to crack different fractions, which is only suitable for cracking the separated light components, and cannot meet the requirement of providing feedstock for downstream processing devices.
[0005] CN100564484A discloses a method for cracking heavy hydrocarbon feedstock, wherein the heavy hydrocarbon feedstock mainly includes crude oil, naphtha, gas oil, fuel oil, natural gasoline (condensate oil), residual oil, etc. The method describes a flash vaporization separation process, but it is difficult to separate the gas-liquid components well through simple flash vaporization. The method is only suitable for cracking the separated light components, and cannot meet the requirement of providing feedstock for downstream processing devices.
[0006] CN101528894A and CN101778929A introduce the process technology of using crude oil / condensate cracking to produce ethylene. CN101528894A introduces that the light components separated from the preheated crude oil / condensate in the convection section enter the cracking furnace convection section after being superheated and then enter the radiation section for cracking, and the heavy components are sent to the atmospheric tower and / or vacuum tower for further separation, and CN101778929A introduces that the heavy materials such as crude oil or condensate mixed in the raw materials at 30% by weight are preheated in the convection section and then enter the upper separation device to separate the protective naphtha and lighter components, and the separated liquid phase enters the lower packing tower for further separation, and how to treat the separated heavy components is not introduced. The evaporation unit of the two patents adopts a stripping tower containing packing or trays, and the evaporation zone at the upper part contains a gas-liquid separator, which can realize gas-liquid separation.
[0007] The information disclosed in the Background section of the present invention is only intended to deepen the understanding of the general background of the present invention, and should not be regarded as acknowledging or implying in any form that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.
[0008] The methods disclosed in the prior art control the constant flash vaporization rate by various methods, use special flash equipment to achieve as much flash as possible and control the entrainment of heavy components in the gas phase components, but most of the equipment requires relatively high crude oil for primary separation or the flash process is complex for multi-stage separation, and the separated gas phase is sent to the radiation section for cracking and the separated liquid phase components are further separated, without utilizing the separated gas phase components to control the inlet process conditions of the secondary gas-liquid separation, the vaporization rate and the entrainment of light components in the liquid phase components, and without sending the gas phase components to other downstream devices for further production of other products.
