Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of oil refining chemical industry, especially relates to a ebullated bed hydrogenation reaction system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Traditional ebullated bed hydrocracking process is widely used in heavy oil (residual oil, thick oil, coal tar) treatment production, and the solid catalyst can effectively promote heavy oil cracking reaction, but there are still significant deficiencies, including:

[0003] 1. Catalyst deactivation: under the high temperature and high pressure reaction environment, the solid catalyst is easy to deactivate due to metal deposition, carbon deposition, coking and sintering and other factors. At the same time, carbon deposition and coking phenomenon also occur with the reaction, further affecting the performance of the catalyst, eventually making the cracking reaction efficiency decrease significantly.

[0004] 2. Complex catalyst online replacement: specifically, in the actual operation process, part of the catalyst needs to be removed from the reactor, and the removal process is from high temperature and high pressure to low pressure state and then cooling treatment; at the same time, fresh catalyst needs to be added to the reactor, and the addition process is from low temperature and low pressure to high temperature and high pressure in the reactor.

[0005] 3. Fluid dynamics limitation: there are gas, liquid and solid three-phase flow in the ebullated bed reactor. The traditional reactor design often affects the three-phase flow characteristics due to any disturbance, resulting in easy agglomeration of the catalyst. Catalyst agglomeration not only increases the loss of catalyst, but also makes the reaction uneven, affecting the conversion rate and product quality of the reaction.

[0006] 4. Limitation of raw material adaptability: the traditional solid catalyst has poor adaptability to metal impurities and residual carbon content in heavy oil. With the increase of metal content and residual carbon content in the raw material, the deactivation rate of the catalyst will increase significantly. This limits the range of raw materials that can be used, and the traditional catalyst cannot effectively perform catalytic reaction for some heavy oil with high metal content or high residual carbon content.

[0007] The above problems will cause the conversion rate of the ebullated bed hydrogenation reactor to decrease, which not only reduces the economic benefit, but also makes the advantages of the ebullated bed hydrogenation process lost. Therefore, how to improve the conversion rate of the ebullated bed hydrogenation reactor becomes a problem to be solved. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0018] A riser pipe is arranged in the second chamber, and the first end of the riser pipe is connected to the cup wall and communicated with the first chamber, and the second end of the riser pipe extends away from the cup wall.

[0019] The riser pipe is through from the first end to the second end, so that the flow path of the reaction gas in the riser pipe is linear.

[0020] Preferably, the catalyst filling unit comprises a catalyst buffer tank and a catalyst metering pump which are connected in sequence.

[0021] The inlet of the catalyst buffer tank is connected to a pipeline from the catalyst boundary line, and the outlet of the catalyst buffer tank is communicated with the inlet of the catalyst metering pump through a metering pump inlet pipeline.

[0022] The outlet of the catalyst metering pump is communicated with the mixing unit through a metering pump outlet pipeline.

[0023] Preferably, the mixing unit comprises a static mixer and a reaction feed pump.

[0024] The first inlet of the static mixer is connected to the metering pump outlet pipeline, the second inlet of the static mixer is communicated with the first reaction feed pipeline, and the outlet of the static mixer is communicated with the inlet of the reaction feed pump.

[0025] Preferably, the ebullated bed hydrogenation reaction system further comprises a heating heat exchange unit;

[0026] The inlet of the heating heat exchange unit is communicated with the outlet of the reaction feed pump, and the outlet of the heating heat exchange unit is communicated with the ebullated bed reactor through the second reaction feed pipeline.

[0027] The utility model discloses the beneficial effects are as follows:

[0028] The utility model provides a kind of ebullated bed hydrogenation reaction system, including catalyst filling unit, first reaction feed pipeline, mixing unit, second reaction feed pipeline and ebullated bed reactor;Catalyst filling unit transports oily catalyst to mixing unit, and first reaction feed pipeline is used to deliver reaction raw material to the mixing unit;Mixing unit fully mixes oily catalyst and reaction raw material, and is delivered to ebullated bed reactor, and ebullated bed reactor makes reaction raw material under the catalysis of oily catalyst hydrogenation reaction.This system uses oil-soluble nano catalyst to replace the solid catalyst of ebullated bed hydrogenation:
