AI Technical Summary
Existing CPP and DCC-Plus methods suffer from drawbacks such as mutual interference between the two catalysts, low conversion efficiency, long process, and high energy consumption. In particular, the catalyst activity is severely lost in the third reactor bed, resulting in low conversion efficiency, long process, and high energy consumption.
The catalytic conversion reaction employs countercurrent contact between light hydrocarbons and a second catalyst in an independent reaction bed. The design of the first and second risers avoids the influence of coking catalysts. A separator is set up to quickly separate the reaction oil and gas, reducing secondary cracking. Some of the light hydrocarbons are used to boost the catalyst, reducing the use of dilution steam.
It improves the conversion efficiency of low-carbon olefins, enhances olefin yield, reduces methane and hydrogen impurity yield, simplifies the process, and lowers production costs.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of catalytic cracking, in particular, to a method and system for producing low-carbon olefins. BACKGROUND
[0002] The catalytic cracking (FCC) device is one of the typical oil refining devices, which is used to crack heavy feedstock oil into small molecules such as gasoline, diesel, and liquefied gas under the action of continuously regenerated catalyst and suitable process conditions. At present, the catalytic cracking process is widely used and mature. The catalytic cracking reaction is in the form of a riser plug flow and short contact of catalyst-gas. The feedstock oil is fully mixed, accelerated, and stabilized with atomized steam in the feedstock oil nozzle, and then sprayed into the riser at a certain speed to contact with the high-temperature regenerated catalyst from the regeneration inclined pipe in the riser, rapidly gasify and react. The catalyst, heavy feedstock oil, and cracked oil gas flow upward in the riser. As the flow proceeds, the large molecules of the feedstock oil are cracked into small molecules of liquid products (gasoline and diesel) and smaller molecules of light hydrocarbon products (dry gas and liquefied gas). At the same time, the gum and asphaltene in the heavy feedstock oil generate coke and adhere to the catalyst. A coarse cyclone separator or a rapid separator is used at the outlet of the riser to pre-separate the catalyst and the cracked oil gas. Most of the catalyst enters the stripping section at the lower part of the reactor. The oil gas containing a small amount of catalyst passes through the coarse cyclone riser, the dilute phase of the reactor, and enters the single-stage or two-stage cyclone separator at the top of the reactor for further separation. The spent catalyst is stripped and then enters the regenerator through the spent inclined pipe for continuous coke-burning regeneration, and at the same time, the catalyst is heated and circulated back to the riser.
[0003] On the basis of catalytic cracking process, Research Institute of Petroleum Processing developed heavy oil catalytic pyrolysis (CPP) for olefins and enhanced catalytic cracking (DCC-Plus) process. The CPP process mainly produces more ethylene and propylene, and the DCC-Plus process mainly produces more propylene and aromatics, with by-product ethylene. The combination of riser and bed is used, and two risers, i.e. the main riser and the second riser, are provided. The main riser is an inner riser, and the feed is fresh feedstock oil injected by a feedstock oil nozzle, with a large amount of dilution steam injected to reduce the oil-gas partial pressure and increase the catalyst-oil ratio C / O. The outlet temperature is 50-100℃ higher than that of catalytic cracking, and the purpose is to crack heavy feedstock to produce naphtha (gasoline) components, which provides feedstock for the third reactor bed. The second riser is an outer riser, which is a catalyst supplementing riser, and creates suitable reaction conditions for the bed reaction, i.e. increases the overall catalyst activity of the bed. The lifting medium is all light gasoline and mixed C4 recycled for lifting, and the outlet temperature of the riser is as high as 620-670℃. The light gasoline and mixed C4 play a lifting role and basically do not convert in the riser. By injecting dilution steam, a large amount of regenerated catalyst is obtained, and the catalyst-oil ratio C / O is as high as 31-47 (mass ratio, for the feed of the second riser, i.e. 2-3 t of catalyst per kmol of feed). The third reactor is a bed reactor, and the products and catalyst of the first reactor of the main riser and the second reactor of the second riser, as well as stripping steam, pass through the third reactor. The weight hourly space velocity of the bed is controlled to be 2-4 h -1 In this reaction environment, more propylene is generated. Due to the large reaction depth and the need for more reaction heat, the catalyst-oil ratio C / O of the main riser is 9.3-15, and that of conventional catalytic cracking is 6.5. The catalyst-oil ratio C / O of the second riser is as high as 31-47, and the total catalyst-oil ratio C / O of the two risers is 15-25 (mass ratio, for fresh feed). The main features are as follows: the main riser uses heavy oil feedstock to produce naphtha (gasoline) components, and the outlet is a low-pressure distribution plate that uniformly distributes the catalyst and oil gas from the main riser to the third reactor bed, and the catalyst contains more carbon and heavy metals; the outlet of the second riser is a distribution tank that uniformly distributes most of the light gasoline and mixed C4 materials and catalyst to the third reactor bed, and the catalyst is basically fresh regenerated catalyst; the temperature of the third reactor bed is not controlled. Due to the introduction of fresh regenerated catalyst by the second riser, the catalyst activity is enhanced, and the bed space velocity is controlled by controlling the material level, thereby controlling the catalyst-gas contact time. The conversion of naphtha (gasoline) feedstock from the main riser and unconverted recycled light gasoline and mixed C4 from the second riser riser is realized, and the purpose of maximum production of propylene is achieved in this reaction environment.
[0004] However, there are still many deficiencies: (1) the non-naphtha (gasoline) components at the outlet of the third reactor bed have an impact on the conversion of gasoline and mixed C4, reducing the partial pressure of the raw material gas; (2) the catalyst at the outlet of the main riser has been covered by coking (the carbon deposition rate is about 0.5-0.6 w%) and contaminated by heavy metals, and the activity loss is large, which weakens the contribution of the light gasoline and mixed C4 to the recycling; (3) in the third reactor bed, there are engineering limitations in the uniform mixing, uniform distribution and fluidization of the two catalysts and oil gas; (4) the light naphtha (gasoline) recycled is subjected to fractionation after being depressurized at the bottom of the absorption stabilizer, and the process is long and the energy consumption of the device is high. SUMMARY
[0005] The purpose of the present disclosure is to overcome the defects of the existing CPP and DCC-Plus methods, such as the mutual influence of the two catalysts, low conversion efficiency, long process, high energy consumption of the device, etc., and to provide a method and system for producing low-carbon olefins.

[0096] The cracking product is introduced into the first separator 6' at the outlet of the first riser 4 to perform the first separation to obtain reaction oil gas and first spent catalyst;
[0097] The first spent catalyst is introduced from the lower outlet of the first separator 6' at the outlet of the first riser 4 into the stripping zone of the reactor 1 arranged on the upper part of the first riser 4, is stripped, and is introduced into the regenerator for regeneration to obtain first regenerated catalyst, which is introduced into the first riser 4 for recycling;
[0098] The stripping temperature is 570 DEG C, and the regeneration conditions are as follows: 705 DEG C, 0.165 MPag;
[0099] S2, the second catalyst introduced from the bottom inlet of the second riser 5' via the second regeneration inclined pipe 13' is lifted to above the light hydrocarbon reaction bed 8' in the second riser 5', and at least part of the light hydrocarbon is introduced from below the light hydrocarbon reaction bed 8' to perform catalytic conversion reaction in countercurrent contact to obtain process gas and second spent catalyst; the light hydrocarbon is mixed C4 and light naphtha, the second catalyst is SAPO-34 catalyst, and the catalytic conversion reaction conditions include: the reaction temperature is 645 DEG C, the reaction time is 8 s, the reaction space velocity is 1.5 h -1 , and the catalyst to oil ratio is 20;
[0100] The reaction oil gas obtained by the first separation is introduced from the upper outlet of the first separator 6' into the reactor 1, the process gas from the light hydrocarbon reaction bed 8' is introduced into the lower part of the dilute phase section in the reactor 1, and after being mixed with the reaction oil gas, is sent into the second separator in the upper part of the reactor 1 to perform the second separation, and the obtained oil gas is sent into the fractionating column;
[0101] The second spent catalyst is introduced into the first riser 4 as the first catalyst for recycling, the dilution steam is injected from the dilution steam nozzle 11 in the middle part of the first riser 4, and the introduced second spent catalyst is lifted to the middle upper part of the first riser 4; the product yield of this embodiment is shown in Table 1.
[0102] Example 2
[0103] The flow of this embodiment is shown in Figure 2The heavy oil was atmospheric heavy oil, the experimental process for producing olefins from heavy oil was the same as that of Example 1, except that the process gas from the light hydrocarbon reaction bed 8' entered the reactor 1 via the upper part of the dilute phase section in the reactor 1; the product yield of this example is shown in Table 1.
[0104] Comparative Example 1
[0105] The flow of this comparative example is shown in Figure 3 The feedstock oil used in this comparative example was the same as that used in Example 1, and the system shown in Figure 3 was used for the process of traditional catalytic cracking (FCC), and the details are as follows:
[0106] The catalytic cracking reaction is in the form of a riser plug flow and short contact of catalyst-gas. The feedstock oil is fully mixed, accelerated and stabilized with atomized steam in the feedstock oil nozzle 9, and finally sprayed into the first riser 4 at a certain speed to contact with the high-temperature regenerated catalyst from the regeneration inclined pipe 12, rapidly gasify and react. In the first riser 4, the catalyst flows upward together with the heavy feedstock oil and cracked oil gas, and as the flow proceeds, the macromolecular feedstock oil is cracked into small-molecular liquid products (gasoline and diesel oil) and smaller-molecular light hydrocarbon products (dry gas and liquefied gas). At the same time, the gum and asphaltene in the heavy feedstock oil generate coke which is attached to the catalyst. The first riser 4 outlet uses the first separator 6' to pre-separate the catalyst and the cracked oil gas.
