Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aviation fuel, and more specifically to high flash point jet fuel and a method for producing high flash point jet fuel. Background Technology
[0002] High flash point jet fuel is a special type of jet fuel with a high flash point value. Compared with ordinary jet fuel, it effectively increases the flash point while maintaining other properties. Generally, jet fuel refers to RP-3 type fuel, mainly used in various civil and military jet aircraft. However, for carrier-based aircraft on naval vessels, the special operational environment dictates that their fuel is inevitably affected by many adverse factors such as high temperature, high humidity, high salinity, and the turbulence of the ship. For example, the fuel must not deteriorate under high temperature conditions and must not spontaneously combust, especially under the turbulence of the ship, it must have good fuel safety. Therefore, carrier-based aircraft fuel has higher requirements than ordinary aviation kerosene. To adapt to the complex operating environment of carrier-based aircraft, the fuel is required to have a high flash point (generally not lower than 60℃), good combustibility, stability, and low-temperature performance. Therefore, high flash point jet fuel is mainly used as carrier-based aircraft fuel, and the current standard is GJB560A-97. Existing jet fuel production technologies mainly include hydrorefining technology and hydrocracking technology for straight-run jet fuel fractions.
[0003] US4172815A discloses a single-stage circulating hydrocracking method for simultaneously producing jet fuel and diesel. The process flow is as follows: after hydrocracking, the heavy feedstock is fractionated to obtain jet fuel fraction, diesel fraction, and tail oil. All or part of the jet fuel fraction is mixed with the tail oil and returned to the hydrocracking reactor. A significant drawback of this process is that while further hydrocracking of the jet fuel improves its quality, it significantly reduces yield, increases hydrogen consumption, and raises investment costs.
[0004] CN1272524A discloses a combined process flow of medium-pressure hydrocracking and deep hydrotreating of kerosene. This process involves aromatic saturation of kerosene fractions with high aromatic content obtained from medium-pressure hydrocracking under conditions of low pressure, high hydrogen purity, and low reaction temperature, using a catalyst containing reduced Pt or Ni metals. This process can effectively process kerosene fractions with high aromatic content to obtain qualified jet fuel; however, this method requires significant investment in equipment and facilities and is more complex to operate.
[0005] Meanwhile, existing technologies for improving the flash point of jet fuel generally suffer from drawbacks such as cumbersome production processes, stringent control of reaction conditions, large quality fluctuations, and significant impacts on the quality of upstream and downstream products, resulting in poor production stability and high costs. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of high cost and low flash point of the product in the existing high flash point jet fuel production methods.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of the present invention provides a method for producing high flash point jet fuel, the method comprising:
[0008] (1) The feedstock oil is mixed with hydrogen and then enters a hydrorefining reactor containing a hydrorefining catalyst to carry out a hydrorefining reaction and obtain a refined effluent.
[0009] The feedstock oil is straight-run diesel oil, and the density of the straight-run diesel oil at 20°C is 820-840 kg / m³. 3 Sulfur content ≤ 1.0 wt%;

[0011] (3) The cracking effluent is fractionated to obtain naphtha fraction, kerosene fraction, diesel fraction I and diesel fraction II;
[0012] (4) The diesel fraction I is subjected to gas-liquid separation to obtain a light component that can be recycled back to step (3) for the fractionation and a heavy component that is discharged from the device as a high flash point jet fuel product.
[0013] The high flash point jet fuel product has an initial boiling point of 175-195℃ and a final boiling point of 245-260℃; its flash point is greater than 60℃.
[0014] The second aspect of the present invention provides a high flash point jet fuel prepared by the method described in the first aspect, wherein the high flash point jet fuel has an initial boiling point of 175-195°C, a final boiling point of 245-260°C, and a flash point greater than 60°C.
[0015] Through the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0016] (1) The method for producing high flash point jet fuel provided by the present invention can increase the flash point of the high flash point jet fuel to over 60°C based on RP-3 jet fuel, which significantly improves the safety and reliability of jet engines and can meet the special requirements of shipborne aircraft applications.
[0017] (2) The method for producing high flash point jet fuel provided by the present invention not only improves the quality of high flash point jet fuel products, but also does not require special technical modifications to the existing production process, requires no additional investment, only requires precise control of the operating conditions of each process stage, and the operating pressure and temperature are relatively mild; the entire preparation process has strong raw material adaptability, excellent production flexibility, and simple preparation process, which can achieve low-cost mass production.
[0018] (3) The method for producing high flash point jet fuel provided by the present invention, in a preferred case, produces high flash point jet fuel with low sulfur content, thereby reducing environmental pollution.
[0019] In summary, the method for producing high flash point jet fuel provided by this invention uses straight-run diesel oil (raw material) that meets specific performance parameter requirements as the main feedstock. By combining a suitable process flow and catalyst system, and controlling the reaction process and depth, a significant portion of the straight-run diesel oil components are converted into a high flash point jet fuel product with a flash point greater than 60°C. This method enables stable, low-cost production of high flash point jet fuel and improves the quality of the high flash point jet fuel product. Attached Figure Description
