TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of heavy oil processing, and in particular to a slurry bed reactor, a device and a method for processing poor heavy oil by coupling a slurry bed reactor with a catalytic cracking system. BACKGROUND
[0002] The development of core equipment such as reactors is one of the main technical difficulties that need to be broken through in the field of processing of inferior oil. The slurry bed hydrocracking equipment is a core equipment with significant advantages in the field of processing of inferior oil. At present, the slurry bed hydrocracking equipment is mainly divided into two categories: one is the empty barrel form without internal components or with simple internal components. This type of equipment needs to be connected in series with multiple reactors or uses a single reactor connected in series with an external circulation equipment. At the same time, a high-activity oil-soluble catalyst and a complex control system are used to realize the cyclic conversion and deep cracking of inferior heavy oil. For example, patent CN201911417674.0 discloses a combined process of "solvent deasphalting + ebullated bed hydrocracking + slurry bed hydrocracking + pretreatment + catalytic cracking". The inferior heavy oil raw material is processed to obtain dry gas, liquefied gas, catalytic gasoline, catalytic diesel and catalytic heavy oil. This invention can realize the lightening of heavy oil, maximize the production of low-carbon olefins, and prolong the operation cycle of the device. However, the slurry bed reactor of the above invention does not explicitly state whether it is an empty barrel structure or contains internal components. Moreover, the use of reactors, core equipment and fractionation equipment is relatively high, which requires a high degree of coupling of each equipment. This leads to a long and complex process, increases the potential risk of operation of the device, and inevitably increases the energy consumption and operating cost of the device. Therefore, this technology does not have economic advantages. Patent CN201810889774.2 discloses a combined process of "slurry bed + fixed bed". The inferior heavy oil raw material is treated by the slurry bed reactor, then separated into light and heavy components by the fractionation equipment, and then enters the fixed bed reactor for hydrofining. After fractionation, naphtha, kerosene, diesel and wax oil fractions are obtained. The tail oil of the slurry bed and part of the wax oil produced by the fixed bed are recycled to the slurry bed unit to continue participating in the cracking reaction. However, the internal structure of the slurry bed reactor of this invention is also not explicitly stated. Therefore, the conversion depth of the heavy oil raw material is not clear. Moreover, the invention does not set up a dedicated hydrogenation equipment and solid particle filtration equipment. If the slurry bed produces coke particles during long-term operation of the device, it will block the fixed bed unit and affect the stable operation of the device. The other type is the slurry bed reactor with complex internal components. This type of equipment can achieve the goals of strengthening the in-reactor backmixing of the reaction stream and inhibiting the deposition of coke, strengthening heat and mass transfer, and separating light components from the system while cracking heavy oil. For example, patent CN201710102972.5 discloses a slurry bed reactor. At least one heat exchange plate with a cavity and a flat structure is arranged in the slurry bed reactor. The heat exchange plate has a cooling medium inlet and a cooling medium outlet connected to the cavity. Therefore, the slurry in the slurry bed reactor can exchange heat with the cooling medium through the wall of the heat exchange plate, ensuring the stability of the temperature of the entire slurry bed reactor. However, the above internal components have problems such as complex design and operation, and high manufacturing and maintenance difficulty. Patent CN202010845269.5 discloses a combined process of "fixed bed residual oil hydrocracking + catalytic cracking + filtration unit" for processing inferior residual oil.The solid particles in the catalytic oil slurry and / or catalytic heavy cycle oil are effectively removed by using a dedicated filter unit, and then injected into a fixed bed residual oil hydrogenation unit for cyclic conversion, but the filter unit of the above process is complex in design, difficult to manufacture and install, and requires special flexible filter materials, which has a high procurement cost.
[0003] In addition, energy saving and emission reduction, and transformation and upgrading of oil refining to chemical industry are the common pursuit of people in the industry, however, the current device or system cannot realize deep conversion of inferior oil while co-producing market-needed chemical raw materials and light automotive fuel oil under the condition of maintaining stable operation of the device.

In addition, it can be understood that the catalytic cracking oil slurry of step 4) is the cracking reaction residue, which is the heavy oil component that has not undergone cracking reaction.
[0072] The above method uses the process coupling of the slurry bed reactor and the riser catalytic cracker to realize step-by-step cracking and cyclic cracking, and finally realizes the deep conversion of poor quality oil and the goal of producing more chemical raw materials and light vehicle fuel oil. It can be understood that the above method circulates a batch of equilibrium agent and catalyst, that is, the same catalyst is used in the slurry bed reactor and the riser catalytic cracker, and the equilibrium agent and waste catalyst discharged from the riser catalytic cracker of step 5) are used again in the slurry bed reactor, which is beneficial to the cracking activity of the catalytic cracking catalyst and improves the cracking depth of poor quality heavy oil.
[0073] Illustratively, the poor quality heavy oil to be treated is at least one of a mixture of high-sulfur residual oil, high-metal residual oil, atmospheric residual oil, vacuum residual oil, super-viscous crude oil, catalytic oil slurry, oil sand bitumen and the like.

[0075] In a specific embodiment, in step 1), the mass ratio of the equilibrium agent to the catalyst is 70-80:20-30. The catalyst and the equilibrium agent can be commonly used catalytic cracking catalysts on the market, and the present application is not particularly limited, such as silicon-aluminum catalyst, molecular sieve catalyst and the like, and further is the catalytic cracking catalyst with the trade name LV-23 of Lanzhou Petrochemical Catalyst Factory.
[0076] In a specific embodiment, when N≥2, the hydrogen supplement amount of the first-stage hydrogen supplement loop is 1-5% of the hydrogen feed amount of the hydrogen mixer 5, and the hydrogen supplement amount of the N-stage hydrogen supplement loop is 1.1-1.5 times of the hydrogen supplement amount of the N-1-stage hydrogen supplement loop. In this embodiment, better hydrogen supplement effect can be achieved, thereby better inhibiting the deposition and plugging of the reaction coke and the over-cracking of light components caused by the reaction material backmixing.
