Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the petrochemical field, and more specifically, to a method and system for the direct catalytic cracking of crude oil to produce low-carbon olefins and aromatics. Background Technology

[0002] With overcapacity in oil refining and a slowing demand for refined oil products, ethylene, propylene, and BTX (benzene-toluene-xylene) are key basic organic synthesis raw materials in huge demand, while demand for chemical products remains strong. Existing technologies for producing propylene and BTX from petroleum are developed based on traditional oil refining processes, which suffer from long production processes, low chemical yields, and insignificant economic benefits. The key to solving these problems is to develop core technologies that enable the targeted conversion of crude oil hydrocarbon molecules into chemicals. Therefore, in recent years, international petrochemical companies, represented by ExxonMobil and Saudi Aramco, have begun to innovate traditional refining processes. These companies have revolutionized traditional oil refining processes, elevating integrated refining and chemical production to a new level of direct crude oil-to-chemicals conversion.

[0003] ExxonMobil is a pioneer in the research and development of crude oil steam cracking to olefins, and was the first company to build an industrial-scale demonstration plant. It has also applied for a series of patents, such as CN101583697. The company's direct olefins process involves crude oil directly entering a steam cracker, where it undergoes flash evaporation to separate light and heavy components. The light components (gaseous components) are then further cracked in the steam cracker, while the heavy components (liquid components) are used as refinery feedstock. If the selected crude oil is sufficiently light and has no fractions above 593°C (i.e., no bottom residue), it can be produced without relying on a refinery. The company's first industrial-scale plant used ultralight paraffinic Tapis crude oil with an API gravity of 42.7 as feedstock.

[0004] Saudi Aramco's technological strength lies in its use of crude oil pretreatment and hydrotreating technologies to minimize the impact of non-volatile components in crude oil on steam cracking. Simultaneously, a vapor-liquid (steam and liquid) separation device is installed between the convection and radiant sections of the steam cracker to remove non-volatile liquids (liquid phases), ensuring that the material entering the radiant section is free of liquid entrainment, thus preventing coking in the furnace tubes. The heavier components are then fed into the catalytic cracking unit. This can be described as an integrated process for producing olefins and aromatics from crude oil, combining hydrotreating, steam cracking, and catalytic cracking.

[0005] Sinopec's crude oil-to-chemicals technology is mainly divided into two technical routes. The first is crude oil steam cracking technology, which uses light crude oil as raw material and has a chemical yield of about 50%. The second is catalytic cracking technology, in which crude oil is desalted and dehydrated to separate light and heavy components. The light components (light feed) and the heavy components (heavy feed) are reacted with high-temperature catalysts in two separate catalytic cracking reactors under a steam atmosphere to produce high-value-added products. Alternatively, the light components and heavy components can react in different reaction zones of the same reactor, with a total yield of low-carbon olefins and light aromatics of over 50%.

[0006] Due to the presence of heavy components in crude oil that are difficult to vaporize, existing crude oil-to-chemicals technologies are only suitable for low-sulfur paraffin-based crude oils with an API gravity of around 45. Other crude oil-to-chemicals technologies vary among companies depending on the processing methods for heavy components in the crude oil, but all employ fractionation, combining processes based on the properties of distillate oils at different boiling points to produce chemicals. Compared to traditional refining processes, this only changes the boiling point and quantity of the fractionated oils and integrates existing processing techniques, failing to achieve a fundamental technological revolution. Furthermore, these existing combined technologies are more suitable for light crude oils or paraffin-based crude oils; when using heavy crude oils or intermediate-based crude oils as feedstocks, the yield of high-value-added chemical feedstocks such as low-carbon olefins and aromatics is low.

[0128] Catalyst regeneration unit, including

[0129] A coking unit is used to bring the catalyst to be generated separated from the catalytic cracking reaction unit into contact with the coking raw material to produce a coking reaction and obtain a catalyst with coke. It is provided with a catalyst inlet, a fluidized medium inlet, a coking raw material inlet, a first gas distributor, a catalyst distributor and a coking catalyst outlet.

[0130] The regenerator includes a coke catalyst inlet, an oxygen-containing gas inlet, a second gas distributor, a cyclone separator, a regenerated flue gas pipeline, and at least one regenerated catalyst outlet. The coke catalyst inlet of the regenerator is in fluid communication with the coke catalyst outlet of the regenerator. One regenerated catalyst outlet is connected to the first regenerated catalyst inlet of the first fluidized bed reactor for recycling a portion of the regenerated catalyst back to the first fluidized bed reactor. Another regenerated catalyst outlet is connected to the second regenerated catalyst inlet of the catalyst mixing zone of the second fluidized bed reactor for introducing a portion of the regenerated catalyst into the catalyst mixing zone to mix with the fresh catalyst.

[0131] A regenerated catalyst circulation pipeline is provided between the coking unit and the regenerator, which is used to allow a portion of the regenerated catalyst to enter the coking unit and mix with the catalyst to be generated to jointly react with the coking raw material.

[0140] The following embodiments will further illustrate this application, but do not limit this application.

[0141] The feedstock used in the following examples and comparative examples was Kuwaiti crude oil, the properties of which are shown in Table 1. The catalyst used was a commercial catalytic cracking catalyst purchased from the Catalyst Division of China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec), with the trade name DMMC-2.

[0142] Example 1

[0143] Using the feedstock and DMMC-2 catalyst shown in Table 1, in Figure 1 The experiment was conducted on the medium-sized apparatus shown, in which the reactor structure is as follows:

[0144] Both the first and second fluidized bed reactors are riser reactors of equal diameter. The first fluidized bed reactor has a total height of 7 meters and an inner diameter of 0.3 meters, while the second fluidized bed reactor has a height of 7 meters and an inner diameter of 0.2 meters. The catalyst mixing zone has a height of 1 meter, and the coking unit has an inner diameter of 0.3 meters and a height of 2 meters. The distance between the coking feed inlet 304 and the bottom of the coking unit is 30% of the coking unit's height. The outlet of the coking unit is directly connected to the bottom opening of the regenerator, and a catalyst distributor is installed at the outlet.

[0145] The hot regenerated catalyst at the first regenerated catalyst inlet 103 enters the lower part of the first fluidized bed reactor and moves upward under the action of the pre-lifting medium. Preheated crude oil and atomized steam are injected into the lower part of the first fluidized bed reactor through the feed pipeline at a water-to-oil weight ratio of 0.2:1. They mix and contact with the existing catalyst in the catalytic cracking reactor and undergo catalytic cracking reaction to generate the first reaction product and the catalyst to be generated.

[0146] The hot regenerated catalyst from the second regenerated catalyst inlet 503 and the fresh catalyst from the fresh catalyst inlet 502 enter the catalyst mixing zone 506. Under the lifting action of the pre-lifting medium injected through the second pre-lifting medium inlet 501, they move upward. The C4 fraction of the difficult-to-convert component enters the outlet of the catalyst mixing zone 506 through the light hydrocarbon inlet 504. The water-oil weight ratio is 0.2:1. It contacts the mixed catalyst and undergoes a catalytic cracking reaction. The reaction oil mixture moves upward and contacts the light distillate oil of the difficult-to-convert component introduced through the light distillate oil inlet 505 and undergoes a catalytic cracking reaction to generate the second reaction product and the catalyst to be generated.

[0147] The first and second reaction products and the catalyst to be generated enter the oil-solid separation device 204, such as a cyclone separator, for gas-solid separation. The resulting reaction oil and gas are led out through the gas collection chamber 205 and the large oil and gas pipe 206 and enter the subsequent separation system. The catalyst containing coke obtained from the separation enters the lower part of the settling tank 200 and enters the coking tank 300 through the inclined tube 203.

[0148] Nitrogen gas is introduced into the bottom of the coking unit 300, where it mixes sequentially with the regenerated catalyst and the catalyst to be regenerated, causing the catalyst to be regenerated to heat up. The coking feedstock, which is catalytic cracked diesel oil, is injected into the coking unit after being atomized by nitrogen. The mass ratio of the atomizing medium to the coking feedstock fuel oil is 0.05:1. The feedstock contacts the material in the coking unit and undergoes a coking reaction. The catalyst containing coke enters the regenerator, where it comes into contact with air and undergoes a complete combustion reaction. The regenerated catalyst is returned to the first fluidized bed reactor and the second fluidized bed reactor for recycling. The regenerated flue gas enters the energy recovery system through pipeline 405.

[0149] Operating conditions and product distribution are listed in Tables 2 and 3. As can be seen from Table 3, the ethylene yield in this embodiment reached 7.78% by weight, the propylene yield reached 19.11% by weight, and the total yield of low-carbon olefins and light aromatics was 45.83%.

[0150] Comparative Example 1

[0151] Using the feedstock oil and DMMC-2 catalyst shown in Table 1, experiments were conducted on a medium-sized plant. The reactor consisted of a conventional riser reactor (first fluidized bed reactor) and a series fluidized bed reactor (second fluidized bed reactor). Preheated feedstock oil sequentially entered the riser reaction zone and the fluidized bed reactor to contact the catalytic cracking catalyst for catalytic cracking. The post-reaction stream entered subsequent oil-catalyst separation and product separation equipment. The separated regenerated catalyst entered the lower part of the regenerator, where it reacted with air distributed into the regenerator via the main air distributor to undergo a coking reaction. The coked feedstock was injected into the dense phase catalyst bed, where it reacted with the high-temperature air to release heat. The regenerated catalyst was returned to the reactor for recycling. Operating conditions and product distribution are listed in Tables 2 and 3.

[0152] As can be seen from the results in Table 3, the yield of ethylene in this comparative example reached 5.56% by weight, the yield of propylene reached 15.85% by weight, and the total yield of low-carbon olefins and light aromatics was 39.04%.

[0153] The results from the above examples and comparative examples show that when using the catalytic cracking method and system of this application for crude oil catalytic cracking reaction, the yield of low-carbon olefins is significantly improved and the crude oil atom utilization rate is high. When the heat balance is insufficient, using a coking unit can make the coke combustion environment in the regenerator mild and stable, and the radial and axial catalyst temperatures help maintain the physical and chemical properties of the catalyst.
