Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of oil refining and chemical industry, and in particular relates to a mixed processing method of high-sulfur crude oil and high-acid crude oil. Background Art
[0002] With the continued rapid development of my country's national economy, energy demand is increasing, placing higher demands on the petrochemical industry. my country imports a large amount of crude oil from the global oil market annually, the majority of which is sour crude oil from the Middle East, characterized by high sulfur content and heavy metal nickel and vanadium content. For example, Saudi heavy crude oil has a sulfur content of over 3.39 wt.%, while extra-heavy crude oil produced in the Orinoco region has a sulfur content of 3.5 to 4.5 wt.%. These characteristics of high-sulfur crude oil lead to problems such as equipment corrosion, catalyst poisoning, and environmental pollution during processing, making it one of the most difficult crude oils to process.
[0003] At present, oil refining enterprises usually carry out desulfurization treatment after fractionation of crude oil in a vacuum distillation unit. The most commonly used desulfurization treatment technology is hydrodesulfurization, which has the following disadvantages: first, the investment and operation cost of the hydrogenation unit is high; second, the catalyst pores are easily clogged by metal impurities, making it difficult to ensure long-term operation. If some sulfides in the crude oil are removed in advance before atmospheric and vacuum distillation, costs will be saved, and the economic and environmental benefits will be very considerable. In view of this, crude oil desulfurization has become a popular research direction. CN107057755A discloses a pre-hydrodesulfurization process for sulfur-containing / high-sulfur crude oil, which belongs to the field of oil processing and petrochemical technology. A pre-hydrodesulfurization process for sulfur-containing / high-sulfur crude oil of the present invention desulfurizes the crude oil by adding a pre-hydrodesulfurization reaction unit before the primary distillation tower. However, this patent still uses hydrotreatment technology for desulfurization, and fails to fundamentally solve the technical problem.
[0004] Another type of crude oil that is difficult for domestic refineries to process is high-acidity crude. For example, crude oil from northern Xinjiang has an acidity of 4.5 mgKOH / g, crude oil from Bohai Sea has an acidity of 3.61 mgKOH / g, and crude oil from Liaohe River has an acidity of 2.69 mgKOH / g. Processing these high-acidity crudes also leads to serious equipment corrosion.
[0005] CN114106874A discloses a method and apparatus for thermal deacidification of high-acid crude oil or high-acid residual oil. The method comprises the following steps: feeding heated raw materials into a gas-liquid separator to separate water and light gas oil; the raw materials separated from water and light gas oil flow out from the bottom of the gas-liquid separator, enter the bottom of a shallow thermal cracking reaction tower, and then flow out from the top; after rapid cooling, a shallow thermal cracking product, i.e., a deacidified product, is obtained. The technical solution of the present invention employs a shallow thermal cracking process using high-acid crude oil or high-acid residual oil as the raw material, preferably under reaction conditions of 370°C to 450°C, a residence time of 20 minutes to 200 minutes, and a reaction pressure of atmospheric pressure to 1.0 MPa. The viscosity of the shallow thermal cracking product is reduced, and the acid value is significantly lowered, by more than 90%. The deacidified product meets the acid value requirements for fuel oil products, or can be used as a raw material for subsequent processing to reduce naphthenic acid corrosion of equipment. However, this method cannot completely avoid the corrosive temperature range of cyclohexane acid, and there are also problems such as excessive cracking of light components and low yield of liquid products.
[0006] In summary, the processing of high-sulfur and high-acid crude oils presents numerous challenges. Consequently, researchers are continuously exploring new desulfurization and deacidification technologies. Among these, alkali metal treatment technology has attracted widespread attention due to its advantages, including low reaction severity, high desulfurization and deacidification selectivity, and energy conservation and environmental protection. Summary of the Invention
[0007] Through in-depth research, the inventors found that alkali metal desulfurization technology has problems such as easy coking and low liquid yield when processing high-sulfur raw materials. The reasons are as follows: Under high temperature conditions, the sulfur-containing compounds in the residual oil react with alkali metals to form intermediate species bonded by alkali metals and organic matter. The above intermediate species are prone to condensation reactions and eventually form coke; the higher the concentration of the above intermediate products in the reaction system, the faster the rate of condensation and coking reaction. One way to solve the above problem is to introduce a certain component into the reaction system, which competes with the sulfur-containing compounds for alkali metals, forming a competitive reaction, thereby adjusting the conversion rate of the sulfur-containing compounds in the reactor, and then controlling the concentration of intermediate species in the reaction system and reducing the occurrence of side reactions such as coking. High-acid crude oil is rich in petroleum acid components such as cyclohexane acid, which can meet the above requirements.
[0008] In response to the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for processing high-sulfur crude oil and high-acid crude oil in a mixed manner. The method processes high-sulfur crude oil and high-acid crude oil together to provide high-quality low-sulfur and low-acid raw materials for subsequent processing.
[0009] A method for mixing high-sulfur crude oil and high-acid crude oil, the method comprising the following steps:
[0010] (1) Pre-treating high-sulfur crude oil and high-acid crude oil separately;
[0011] (2) The pretreated high-sulfur crude oil and the pretreated high-acid crude oil obtained in step (1) are mixed, mixed with an alkali metal, and then enter an alkali metal treatment reaction zone for reaction;
[0012] (3) The reaction effluent obtained in step (2) is post-treated to obtain the final product.
[0013] In the above method, the sulfur content of the high-sulfur crude oil in step (1) is 2.0 to 6.0 wt%, preferably 3.0 to 5.5 wt%, and more preferably 3.5 to 5.0 wt%.
[0014] In the above method, the total acid value of the high-acid crude oil in step (1) is 2.0 to 20.0 mgKOH / g, preferably 5.0 to 12.0 mgKOH / g; the molar ratio of the sulfur content of the high-acid crude oil to the sulfur content of the high-sulfur crude oil is less than 0.3, preferably less than 0.2.
[0015] In the above method, the properties of the high sulfur crude oil and high acid crude oil in step (1) are as follows: density (20°C) is 0.75-1.05 g / cm 3 , preferably 0.85~1.0g / cm 3 ; Metal content 10 ~ 350μg / g, preferably 50 ~ 250μg / g; chemical elements include C, H, S, N, O and metal elements, the C content is generally 83 ~ 87wt.%, H content is generally 11 ~ 14wt.%.
[0016] In the above method, the pretreatment in step (1) includes desalination and dehydration treatment; the present invention has no limitation on the method of desalination and dehydration treatment, and any desalination and dehydration treatment technology that can be implemented in the prior art can be adopted, such as thermal demulsification, chemical demulsification, electrical desalination and dehydration, ultrasonic demulsification, microwave demulsification, membrane demulsification, cyclone separation and freeze-thaw demulsification. One or more of them can be adopted.
[0017] In the above method, the water content of the pretreated high-sulfur crude oil and the pretreated high-acid crude oil obtained in step (1) is less than 0.08 wt.%, preferably less than 0.04 wt.%; and the salt content is less than 8 mg / L, preferably 4 mg / L.
[0018] In the above method, the mass ratio of the pretreated high-sulfur crude oil to the pretreated high-acid crude oil in step (2) is (1-15):1, preferably (3-12):1, and more preferably (5-10):1.
[0019] In the above method, the alkali metal in step (2) is at least one of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium and francium, preferably sodium and / or potassium, and more preferably sodium.
[0020] In the above method, the molar ratio of the alkali metal to the total sulfur content of the raw material in step (2) is (2.0-4.5):1, preferably (2.5-3.5):1; the total sulfur content of the raw material is the sum of the sulfur content of the high-sulfur crude oil and the sulfur content of the high-acid crude oil.
[0021] In the above method, the specific process flow of the alkali metal treatment reaction zone in step (2) is as follows:
[0022] S1, fractionating the pretreated high-acid crude oil to obtain light high-acid crude oil and heavy high-acid crude oil;
[0023] S2, the pretreated high-sulfur crude oil and the light high-acid crude oil obtained in step S1 are mixed, mixed with alkali metal, and then enter the first alkali metal treatment reactor for reaction;
[0024] S3. The reaction effluent obtained in step S2 is mixed with the heavy high-acid crude oil obtained in step S1, and then mixed with alkali metal and enters the second alkali metal treatment reactor for reaction.
[0025] Furthermore, the cutting point in step S1 is 450-540°C, preferably 480-520°C.
[0026] Furthermore, based on the alkali metal alone, the molar ratio of the amount of alkali metal added in step S2 to the amount of alkali metal added in step S3 is (0.5-2.5):1, preferably (1.0-2.0):1.
[0027] Furthermore, the operating conditions of the first alkali metal treatment reactor in step S2 are: reaction temperature 250-370°C, hydrogen partial pressure 1.5-15.0 MPa, reaction time or residence time 0.1-3.0 h, hydrogen to oil volume ratio 300-1800 Nm 3 / m 3 Preferred: reaction temperature 280 ~ 330 ℃, hydrogen partial pressure 3.0 ~ 10.0MPa, reaction time or residence time 0.3 ~ 1.5h, hydrogen oil volume ratio 500 ~ 1000Nm 3 / m 3 .
[0028] Furthermore, the operating conditions of the second alkali metal treatment reactor in step S3 are as follows: compared with the first alkali metal treatment reactor, the reaction temperature is 5 to 50 ° C higher, the hydrogen partial pressure is 1.0 to 5.0 MPa higher, the reaction time or residence time is 0.2 to 1.0 h longer, and the hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio is 100 to 500 Nm higher. 3 / m 3 The preferred operating conditions are: reaction temperature 10-25°C higher, hydrogen partial pressure 1.0-3.0 MPa higher, reaction time or residence time 0.2-0.5 h longer, hydrogen-to-oil volume ratio 200-350 Nm 3 / m3 .
[0029] In the above method, the specific operation process of the post-treatment in step (3) is as follows: the reaction effluent enters the first separation device for solid-liquid separation to obtain a first liquid phase flow; after the first liquid phase flow is mixed with the auxiliary agent, it enters the second separation device for solid-liquid separation to obtain a second liquid phase flow (final product).
[0030] In the above method, the auxiliary agent in step (3) includes one or more of formic acid, hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid solution.
[0031] In the above method, in step (3), the sulfur content of the second liquid phase stream (final product) is controlled to be less than 0.8 wt%, the acid value is less than 0.5 mgKOH / g, and the solid content is 10 to 65 ppm; preferably, the sulfur content is less than 0.5 wt%, the acid value is less than 0.3 mgKOH / g, and the solid content is 15 to 45 ppm.
[0032] By introducing high-acid crude oil into the reaction system, the present invention causes the petroleum acid to compete with sulfur-containing compounds for alkali metals, resulting in a competitive reaction. This reduces the concentration of intermediate species in the reaction system and reduces the occurrence of side reactions such as coking. The main factors affecting this effect are the concentration of the petroleum acid in the reaction system and its molecular structure.
[0033] Furthermore, the inventors used rapid distillation and slicing to discover the following pattern in the distribution of petroleum acids in high-acid crude oil: On the one hand, the acid value increases with increasing distillate temperature; when the distillate temperature rises to the range of 450-540°C, the acid value decreases slightly. On the other hand, as the distillate becomes heavier, the average molecular weight of the petroleum acids increases, and their structure becomes more complex. The present invention slicing high-acid crude oil at a slicing point of 450-540°C, preferably 480-520°C, yields light high-acid crude oil and heavy high-acid crude oil, which are then fed into first and second alkali metal treatment reactors, respectively. The acid values of the light high-acid crude oil and the heavy high-acid crude oil are similar, and their mass yields are very similar. Therefore, introducing the light high-acid crude oil and the heavy high-acid crude oil into the two reactors, respectively, results in essentially the same petroleum acid concentration. However, the petroleum acids contained in the light high-acid crude oil have a simple molecular structure and minimal steric hindrance, making them readily reactive with alkali metals. This can more effectively reduce the concentration of intermediate species and minimize side reactions such as coke formation. That is to say, whether compared with high-acid crude oil or heavy high-acid crude oil, the introduction of light high-acid crude oil has a better effect.
[0034] In the present invention, high-sulfur crude oil has the highest sulfur content, and when reacted alone, the concentration of intermediate species in the reaction system is the highest. Therefore, light high-acid crude oil is first mixed with high-sulfur crude oil and fed into the first alkali metal treatment reactor for reaction, effectively utilizing its effects. The reaction effluent, with a relatively lower sulfur content, is then mixed with heavy high-acid crude oil and fed into the second alkali metal treatment reactor for reaction. Based on the characteristics of the feeds to the two reactors, the present invention introduces light and heavy high-acid crude oils at different stages of the reaction system, achieving efficient utilization of the high-acid crude oil.
[0035] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:
[0036] 1. The method of the present invention realizes the co-processing of high-sulfur crude oil and high-acid crude oil through alkali metal treatment technology, and can provide high-quality low-sulfur and low-acid raw materials in subsequent processing.
[0037] 2. The present method solves the coking problem of high-sulfur crude oil during alkali metal treatment. High-acid crude oil is rich in petroleum acid components such as naphthenic acid. When introduced into the reaction system, the petroleum acids compete with sulfur-containing compounds for alkali metals, forming a competitive reaction. This modulates the conversion rate of sulfur-containing compounds within the reactor, thereby controlling the concentration of intermediate species in the reaction system and reducing the occurrence of side reactions such as coking.
[0038] 3. The method of the present invention sets up two alkali metal treatment reactors, and according to the properties of the feeds of the two reactors, light and heavy high-acid crude oils are introduced respectively at different stages of the reaction system, thereby achieving efficient utilization of high-acid crude oil.
