Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of petrochemical industry, and in particular to a method and system for producing high-value products with high crude oil utilization rate. Background Art

[0002] Refining capacity is in excess, and demand for refined oil products is slowing down. Ethylene, propylene and BTX (benzene-toluene-xylene) are key basic organic synthetic raw materials with huge demand, while demand for chemical products remains strong. The existing technical route for producing propylene and BTX from petroleum is developed on the basis of the traditional petroleum refining process that mainly produces oil products. There are problems such as long production process, low yield of high-value products and insignificant economic benefits. The technical measures to solve this problem are to develop key core technologies that mainly produce high-value products and can direct the conversion of crude oil hydrocarbon molecules into high-value products. Therefore, in recent years, international petrochemical companies represented by ExxonMobil and Saudi Aramco have begun to innovate traditional refining processes. These companies have subverted the traditional refining process and promoted the integration of refining and chemical to a new level of directly producing high-value products from crude oil.

[0003] ExxonMobil Corporation of the United States is a pioneer in the research and development of crude oil steam cracking to produce olefins, and is the first company to build an industrial demonstration unit. It has also applied for a series of patents, such as CN200580016314.X. The company's process for directly producing high-value products from crude oil is that the crude oil directly enters the steam cracking furnace, and the light components and recombinant components are separated by flash evaporation. The light components (gaseous components) enter the steam cracking furnace for cracking, and the heavy components (liquid components) are used as refinery raw materials. If the selected crude oil is light enough, there is no fraction above 593°C, that is, no bottom residue oil, and it does not need to rely on a refinery. The company's first industrial unit uses ultra-light paraffin-based tapis crude oil with an API gravity of 42.7 as raw material.

[0004] The technical characteristics of Saudi Aramco National Oil Company are that it adopts crude oil pretreatment technology and hydroprocessing technology to minimize the impact of non-volatile components in crude oil on steam cracking. At the same time, a vapor-liquid (steam and liquid) separation device is installed between the convection section and the radiation section of the steam cracking furnace to remove non-volatile liquid (liquid phase), ensuring that the material entering the radiation section does not carry liquid, thereby ensuring that the furnace tube does not coke, and the heavy components enter the catalytic cracking unit. It can be said that it is a process for producing olefins and aromatics from crude oil that integrates hydroprocessing, steam cracking and catalytic cracking processes.

[0005] Due to the presence of heavy components in crude oil that are difficult to vaporize, the existing technology for directly producing high-value products from crude oil is only suitable for low-sulfur paraffin-based crude oil with an API degree of about 45. Other crude oil-to-chemical technologies vary according to the different processing processes for heavy components in crude oil. The crude oil-to-chemical technology routes of major companies are different, but they all use fraction cutting and combine process technologies according to the properties of distillates with different distillation ranges to achieve crude oil production of high-value products. Compared with the traditional refining process, only the distillation range and quantity of the cut distillates are changed, and then the existing processing technology is integrated, which fails to achieve fundamental technological changes. In addition, these existing combined technologies are more suitable for light crude oil or paraffin-based crude oil. When inferior crude oil such as heavy crude oil or intermediate base crude oil is used as raw material, the yield of high-value products is low. How to find a method or system to convert inferior crude oil into high-value products with high yield is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0006] The present invention provides a method and system for producing high-value products with high crude oil utilization, with the purpose of enabling inferior oil to be well converted into high-value products. Not only is the process flow short, but the yield of high-value products is high and the yield of coke is low, which can significantly reduce carbon emissions from the process.

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention relates to a method for producing high-value products with high crude oil utilization, the method comprising the following steps:

[0008] (1) subjecting crude oil to distillation and cutting to obtain a light crude oil fraction and a heavy crude oil fraction; wherein the cutting point of the light crude oil fraction and the heavy crude oil fraction is 240-350° C.;

[0009] (2) subjecting the crude oil heavy fraction to extraction and separation to obtain extracted oil of the crude oil heavy fraction and raffinate oil of the crude oil heavy fraction;

[0010] (3) contacting a catalytic cracking feedstock with a catalyst in a catalytic cracking reactor to perform a catalytic cracking reaction, and obtaining cracking gas, cracking light gasoline, cracking heavy gasoline, cracking diesel and cracking heavy oil through oil and gas separation; the catalytic cracking feedstock comprises the light fraction of the crude oil, the extracted oil of the heavy fraction of the crude oil and components that are difficult to convert; wherein the components that are difficult to convert include light hydrocarbons and / or light distillate oil.

[0011] In a second aspect, the present invention relates to a system for producing high-value products with high crude oil utilization, the system comprising a distillation unit, an extraction separation unit and a catalytic cracking unit;

[0012] The distillation unit is provided with a crude oil inlet, a crude oil light fraction outlet pipeline and a crude oil heavy fraction outlet pipeline;

[0013] The crude oil heavy fraction outlet pipeline is connected to the inlet of the material to be separated of the extraction and separation unit, and the extraction and separation unit is also provided with an extraction solvent inlet, an extracted oil outlet of the crude oil heavy fraction and a raffinate oil outlet of the crude oil heavy fraction;

[0014] The catalytic cracking unit is provided with a catalytic cracking feedstock inlet, a cracking gas outlet, a cracking light gasoline outlet, a cracking heavy gasoline outlet, a cracking diesel outlet and a cracking heavy oil outlet;

[0015] The catalytic cracking feed inlet of the catalytic cracking unit is respectively connected to the extracted oil outlet of the crude oil heavy fraction and the crude oil light fraction outlet pipeline;

[0016] The catalytic cracking unit is also provided with an inlet for difficult-to-convert components.

[0017] Beneficial effects:

[0018] 1) Crude oil has strong adaptability. The combination of crude oil component separation and catalytic cracking reaction can convert intermediate base crude oil or lower quality cycloalkane crude oil into high-value products.

[0019] 2) High crude oil utilization rate: Since inferior crude oil contains more difficult-to-cracking components such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, colloids and asphaltene, which are mainly distributed in the heavy fraction of crude oil, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, colloids and asphaltene in the heavy fraction of crude oil are separated out as raffinate oil to reduce competitive adsorption on the active center of the catalyst, which helps to improve the selectivity of the extracted oil with better cracking performance to generate high-value products and realize efficient utilization of crude oil.

[0020] 3) High yield of high-value products; the raffinate oil rich in polycyclic aromatics or asphaltene in the heavy fraction of crude oil can be used as raw material for needle coke or road asphalt according to its different properties; the extracted oil is converted into light olefins and aromatics as a raw material for catalytic cracking, and the yield of high-value products in the whole process is close to 65% or more.

[0021] 4) The online rate of the device is high: low-quality crude oil has high residual carbon, high metal and high asphaltene content. After component separation, the quality of the catalytic cracking raw material is greatly improved, which not only has a high yield of the target product, but also extends the operation cycle and increases the online rate, thereby effectively improving the economic benefits.

[0022] By adopting the method or system of the present application, low-quality crude oil can be directly and efficiently produced into high-value products such as low-carbon olefins and light aromatics. Not only can high-value chemical raw materials be produced and the deep integration of oil refining and petrochemical industries be promoted, but also the challenges brought about by the shortage of oil resources can be effectively responded to and national energy security can be ensured.

[0141] In the extraction and separation unit, propane is used as a solvent to separate the heavy fraction of crude oil by supercritical extraction to obtain extracted oil and raffinate oil, wherein the yield of extracted oil is 76.2% (the proportion of extracted oil in the heavy fraction of crude oil = 50.11% ÷ 65.76%), the mass fraction of saturated fraction in the extracted oil is 52.4%, the heavy metal removal rate is above 96%, and the asphaltene removal rate is 99%. The obtained raffinate oil can be used as a raw material for road asphalt.

[0142] In the hydrogenation unit, the cracked diesel obtained from the catalytic cracking reaction contacts with a hydroprocessing catalyst to cause a saturation reaction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and the resulting hydrogenated product (hydrogenated cracked diesel) is used as feed to the catalytic cracking unit.

The raw materials are light fractions of crude oil, extracted oil from heavy fractions of crude oil, C4 components (obtained from gas separation of cracked gas), cracked light gasoline (obtained from catalytic cracking reaction) and hydrocracking diesel. Before the test, the catalyst is first loaded into the reactor, and the reactor is heated to the reaction temperature while the catalyst is kept in a fluidized state. According to the catalytic cracking reaction performance of the raw materials, the order of raw material feeding (from upstream to downstream) is C4 components, light fractions of crude oil, cracked light gasoline, extracted oil from heavy fractions of crude oil and hydrocracking diesel. All raw materials are mixed with high-temperature water vapor after preheating, enter the bottom of the fluidized reactor through the feed nozzle, and react on the hot catalyst. After the reaction, water vapor is introduced for stripping, and the reaction oil and gas enter the multi-stage condensation separation system for separation to obtain cracking gas products and liquid products. The yields of the gas products and liquid products are measured, and the gas products enter the separation system for further separation into C4 components and other gases. After the reaction is completed, the reactor is automatically heated to the regeneration temperature, and oxygen is introduced into the reactor to burn and regenerate the catalyst. The real-time CO 2 The concentration is calculated based on the flue gas flow integral. The gas products are collected and then distributed using offline chromatography. The liquid products are analyzed using simulated distillation chromatography to obtain the mass fractions of pyrolysis gasoline (pyrolysis light gasoline and pyrolysis heavy gasoline), pyrolysis diesel and pyrolysis heavy oil.

There is no hydrogenation unit, and the cracking diesel produced by the catalytic cracking unit is directly used as the cracking feedstock. The operation steps of the catalytic cracking unit are the same as those of Example 1, and the feed sequence of the raw materials (from upstream to downstream) is C4 components, light fractions of crude oil, cracked light gasoline, extracted oil of heavy fractions of crude oil, and cracked diesel.

The raw materials were mixed with high-temperature water vapor after preheating, and entered the bottom of the fluidized reactor bed through a feed nozzle to react on the hot catalyst. After the reaction, water vapor was introduced for stripping, and the reaction oil and gas entered a multi-stage condensation separation system for separation to obtain cracking gas products and liquid products. The gas products and liquid products were measured to obtain yields. After the reaction was completed, the reactor automatically heated up to the regeneration temperature, and oxygen was introduced into the reactor to regenerate the catalyst to be regenerated by burning. The regenerated flue gas was measured by an infrared analyzer to obtain real-time CO 2 The concentration is calculated based on the flue gas flow integral. The gaseous products are collected and then distributed by offline chromatography. The liquid products are analyzed by simulated distillation chromatography to obtain the mass fractions of pyrolysis gasoline, pyrolysis diesel and pyrolysis heavy oil. The reaction conditions and product distribution are listed in Table 2 and Table 3.

After the reaction, water vapor was introduced for stripping, and the reaction oil and gas entered a multi-stage condensation separation system for separation to obtain cracking gas products and liquid products. The yields of both gas products and liquid products were measured. After the reaction, the reactor automatically heated up to the regeneration temperature, and at the same time, oxygen was introduced into the reactor to regenerate the catalyst to be regenerated by charring. The real-time CO 2 The concentration is calculated based on the flue gas flow integral. The gaseous products are collected and then distributed by offline chromatography. The liquid products are analyzed by simulated distillation chromatography to obtain the mass fractions of pyrolysis gasoline, pyrolysis diesel and pyrolysis heavy oil. The reaction conditions and product distribution are listed in Table 2 and Table 3.
