Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] As an important organic chemical raw material, the consumption of low-carbon olefins has maintained a strong growth trend. The technologies for producing low-carbon olefins using petroleum as raw materials include steam cracking, refinery fluid catalytic cracking, catalytic cracking, alkane dehydrogenation and olefin disproportionation. The typical process for producing low-carbon olefins is steam cracking to produce ethylene and propylene, which requires the consumption of a large amount of light hydrocarbons or chemical light hydrocarbons such as naphtha. However, the quality of domestic crude oil is heavy, and the production capacity of chemical light oil is insufficient to meet the demand for the production of low-carbon olefin raw materials. Moreover, with the increase in demand, the traditional steam cracking process has been difficult to meet the market demand for low-carbon olefins. In order to meet the needs of the petrochemical industry while taking into account the goal of improving the quality and efficiency of enterprises, the field has currently developed a process route for cracking and producing low-carbon olefins using high-carbon olefins with a carbon number greater than or equal to 4 in the refinery process.
[0003] CN115108876A discloses a catalytic conversion method for producing light olefins using organic oxygen-containing compounds as part of the raw materials. The method comprises performing catalytic conversion reactions on olefin-rich raw materials, heavy raw materials and organic oxygen-containing compound raw materials in different reaction zones of a catalytic conversion reactor, thereby giving full play to the advantages of different process routes and improving the yield and selectivity of light olefins, especially the yield and selectivity of ethylene and propylene.

The olefin-rich raw material is introduced through the feed pipeline 4 on the side of the first catalytic conversion reaction zone. Under the distribution effect of the feed fluid distributor 6, the olefin-rich raw material is fully contacted with the first thermal regeneration catalyst to carry out the first catalytic conversion reaction.

When the temperature of the reaction oil gas containing light oil and the second catalyst to be regenerated obtained by the second catalytic conversion reactor is higher than 530°C, they are cooled by the cooling medium from the pipeline 38 and enter the catalyst separation device through the outlet pipe 21. In the catalyst separation device, the reacted flow from the first catalytic conversion reactor is mixed with the reaction oil gas containing light oil and the second catalyst to be regenerated from the second catalytic conversion reactor, and then enters the cyclone separator of the settler 22 for separation, so as to separate the catalyst to be regenerated from the reaction product. The separated regenerated catalyst enters the stripping section 19 and contacts with the stripping steam from the pipeline 18 to strip out the remaining reaction oil and gas on the catalyst. The regenerated catalyst after stripping enters the regenerator 25 for charring regeneration. The regenerated catalyst after charring treatment returns to the first catalytic conversion reactor and the second catalytic conversion reactor via the pipeline 3 and the pipeline 26 respectively.
