Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of catalytic cracking equipment, specifically a multi-layer feed vaporization section for catalytic cracking equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Catalytic cracking units, as an important secondary processing method for light crude oil, provide more than 70% of the gasoline and more than 30% of the diesel in the Chinese market, playing a pivotal role in my country's petroleum processing industry. The riser reactor is the core equipment of catalytic cracking, the site of the catalytic cracking reaction, and its performance directly determines the unit's operating efficiency. The riser reactor is generally divided into a pre-rise section, a vaporization section, a reaction section, and an outlet separation system from bottom to top. Starting from the pre-rise section, pre-rise gas (gas) enters from the bottom, carrying catalyst particles upwards. When it reaches the vaporization section, feedstock is injected through the feed nozzle, mixing and contacting with the catalyst particles and rapidly initiating a reaction to produce target products such as gasoline, diesel, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Simultaneously, it moves upwards to continue subsequent cracking reactions. When it reaches the outlet separation system, the gaseous medium produced by the reaction separates from the solid catalyst particles, completing all the reactions within the riser reactor.
[0003] Therefore, the contact and mixing conditions between the feedstock and catalyst in the vaporization section directly affect the entire catalytic cracking reaction process. Currently, the arrangement of feed nozzles in the vaporization section is generally a single-layer arrangement. For example, UOP (US5348644, US6511635B2) proposed installing a guide component upstream of the feed nozzle installation position in the riser vaporization section to improve the initial contact between the oil and catalyst. Domestic patents (ZL201020623008, ZL201020622990) proposed installing a streamlined internal component above the feed nozzle and introducing auxiliary gas to control and utilize the auxiliary gas's "secondary flow," promoting oil-catalyst mixing in the secondary flow area and reducing the "reciprocating back-mixing" of catalyst particles and feedstock in that area. Patent application CN201410014516.1 proposes an inverted feed nozzle installation and counter-current injection contact, etc. The above-mentioned technical solutions generally have the following problems: a. Most of the catalyst from the pre-lifting section is distributed in the center of the vaporization section, and less in the side wall, i.e., the feed oil ring core structure; b. The feed oil injected by the feed nozzle cannot penetrate the catalyst group to reach the center of the vaporization section and form a ring gas core structure, thereby affecting the contact efficiency between the catalyst and the feed oil, resulting in local catalyst oil levels being too high or too low, affecting the effective product yield of the unit. Utility Model Content
[0004] In response to the problems raised in the background art, this utility model provides a multi-layer feed vaporization section for a catalytic cracking unit, which aims to improve the contact efficiency between feedstock oil and catalyst group and increase the liquid yield of the catalytic cracking unit.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A multi-layer feed vaporization section for a catalytic cracking unit includes a vaporization section body, which is a cylindrical structure. Its lower end is connected to the outlet of a pre-lifting section, and its upper end is connected to the inlet of a reaction section. An upper feed nozzle and a lower feed nozzle are installed on the pipe wall of the vaporization section body. The upper feed nozzle is located above the lower feed nozzle. The angle between the spray direction of the upper feed nozzle and the axis of the vaporization section body is α, and the angle between the spray direction of the lower feed nozzle and the axis of the vaporization section body is β, where β > α ≥ 30°.
[0007] The number of upper and lower feed nozzles is both multiple.
[0008] The upper feed nozzles are evenly distributed on the circumference of the vaporization section body, and the lower feed nozzles are also evenly distributed on the circumference of the vaporization section body, with the upper and lower feed nozzles arranged alternately.
[0009] The angle α between the upper feed nozzle and the axis of the vaporization section body is 50°-70°.
[0010] The angle β between the lower feed nozzle and the axis of the vaporization section body is 30°-50°.
[0011] The vaporization section has a conical cylindrical structure.
[0012] The vaporization section is a cylindrical structure.
[0013] Both the upper and lower feed nozzles are mounted on the vaporization section body via sleeves.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1) Existing feed nozzle arrangements are single-layer feed nozzles, which generally have the following problems: a. Most of the catalyst from the pre-lifting section is distributed in the center of the vaporization section, and less in the side walls, i.e., the feed oil ring core structure; b. The feed oil sprayed from the feed nozzle cannot penetrate the catalyst group to reach the center of the vaporization section body to form a ring-shaped gas core structure, thus affecting the contact efficiency between the catalyst and the feed oil, resulting in local excessively high or low catalyst-to-oil ratios, affecting the effective product yield of the unit. The multi-layer feed vaporization section described in this invention, with its advanced design concept, improves the initial uniformity of the oil-to-catalyst distribution by setting two layers of feed nozzles with different spray angles, increases the liquid yield of the unit, reduces secondary reactions, reduces the generation of dry gas and coke, and improves the overall economic efficiency of the unit.
[0016] 2) The multi-layer feeding vaporization section of this utility model has an upper and lower feeding nozzle arranged in an alternating manner. The material sprayed by the upper feeding nozzle can penetrate to 1 / 2 of the radius of the vaporization section body, and the material sprayed by the lower feeding nozzle can penetrate to the center of the vaporization section body. This improves the uniformity of the distribution of catalyst and oil on the cross-section of the pipeline, reduces the occurrence of secondary reactions, reduces the generation of dry gas and coke, and improves the liquid yield.
[0017] 3) The multi-layer feeding vaporization section of this utility model achieves better oil-agent contact effect, which can greatly improve the catalyst utilization efficiency, thereby reducing the amount of catalyst used in the entire process, which in turn reduces the production and operation cost of the device.

The upper feed nozzle 02 and the lower feed nozzle 03 are respectively at a certain angle to the axis of the vaporization section body 01, forming the multi-layer feed vaporization section.
