Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of delayed coking technology, specifically to a delayed coking raw material feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Delayed coking is a thermal cracking process. Its main purpose is to convert high-carbon residual oil into light oil. The equipment used can be recycled, meaning that the heavier fractions from the coking distillate of heavy oil are used as recycled oil and have a longer residence time in the unit.

[0003] The feedstock for delayed coking units is generally vacuum residue and catalytic slurry. Feedstock is supplied through tank farms or direct supply from the unit, resulting in a relatively singular source. If the primary and secondary processing units are not well-matched, external sourcing of vacuum residue is necessary to compensate for the shortfall in feedstock processing of inferior oil. However, the profit margin for externally sourced vacuum residue fluctuates significantly with market changes, making it difficult to guarantee the company's profitability. Furthermore, the complex and variable properties of externally sourced vacuum residue increase the probability of accidents such as coking in furnace tubes, uneven coking in the coke tower, and wear and leakage in high-temperature components. Simultaneously, to meet the feedstock supply needs of secondary processing units such as delayed coking and to address the overall plant material balance, the production plan of the atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit will be limited, significantly reducing profits. Therefore, expanding the feedstock sources for delayed coking units and increasing the diversity of feedstocks for secondary processing units will greatly improve the adaptability of the overall plant processing plan and enhance the company's economic efficiency.

[0004] Based on a comparison of the properties of high-density, high-salt crude oil and vacuum residue, blending can be used as feedstock for delayed coking units. However, the high salt content of this feedstock affects product quality, and existing delayed coking units cannot process it directly, requiring process modifications to the unit. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the technical problem that the high salt content of high-density, high-salt crude oil affects product quality when used as a feedstock for delayed coking, this invention provides a feedstock feeding device for delayed coking. This device can perform electro-desalting pretreatment on the high-density, high-salt crude oil feedstock, thereby improving the quality of delayed coking products and increasing the diversity of feedstocks.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A delayed coking feedstock feeding device includes a cold residue oil feed pipe and a hot residue oil feed pipe. The output ends of the cold residue oil feed pipe and the hot residue oil feed pipe are connected to the inlet of the feedstock oil buffer tank through a feed manifold. The device is characterized by further including a crude oil feed pipe, a primary demulsifier feed pipe, and a secondary demulsifier feed pipe. The crude oil feed pipe is connected to the input end of the primary desalting feed pipe. The output end of the primary desalting feed pipe is connected to the inlet of the primary electric desalting tank. The oil phase outlet of the primary electric desalting tank is connected to the inlet of the secondary electric desalting tank through a primary oil phase outlet pipe. The oil phase outlet of the secondary electric desalting tank is connected to the feed manifold through a secondary oil phase outlet pipe. The output end of the primary demulsifier feed pipe is connected to the crude oil feed pipe, and the output end of the secondary demulsifier feed pipe is connected to the primary oil phase outlet pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, the crude oil feed pipe is equipped with a heat exchanger assembly and a first mixer. The heat exchanger assembly includes a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger. The first mixer is located between the connection point of the primary demulsifier feed pipe, the primary desalting feed pipe, and the crude oil feed pipe. The function of the heat exchanger assembly is to preheat the high-density, high-salt crude oil feedstock before proceeding to the next process. The heat sources for the first and second heat exchangers are the top circulation oil and diesel oil from the heavy oil catalytic cracking unit, respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, the aqueous phase outlet of the primary electric desalting tank is connected to the hot inlet of the third heat exchanger via the primary aqueous phase outlet pipe. The hot outlet of the third heat exchanger is connected to the drain pipe. The cold inlet of the third heat exchanger is connected to the purified water storage tank via the purified water inlet pipe. The cold outlet of the third heat exchanger is connected to the primary oil phase outlet pipe via the primary water supply pipe. The purpose is to reuse the waste heat from the aqueous phase discharge of the primary electric desalting tank, fully utilize the low-temperature waste heat, and improve energy efficiency.

[0010] Furthermore, the aqueous phase outlet of the secondary electrostatic desalting tank is connected to the crude oil supply pipe via a second water supply pipeline. This allows the effluent from the secondary electrostatic desalting tank to be returned and mixed with the crude oil supply pipe before being reused in the primary electrostatic desalting tank.

[0011] Furthermore, a first water pump is installed on the purified water inlet pipe, and a second water pump is installed on the second water supply pipe. Their function is to provide power for the water flow.

[0012] Furthermore, a second mixer is installed on the primary oil phase discharge pipe, located between the connection point of the primary water supply pipe, the secondary electrostatic desalination tank, and the primary oil phase discharge pipe. Its function is to provide mixing.

[0013] Furthermore, a fourth heat exchanger is installed on the cold residue oil feed pipe, and a fifth heat exchanger is installed on the main feed pipe. Their function is to heat the cold residue oil feed and the mixture, respectively.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] (1) This utility model can perform desalting pretreatment on high-density, high-salt crude oil raw materials blended during delayed coking. The crude oil after desalting treatment is directly fed into the delayed coking unit for processing, which shortens the processing process, reduces the overall energy consumption of crude oil processing, improves product quality, and increases economic benefits.

[0016] (2) This utility model can realize the use of high-density, high-salt crude oil as a raw material for delayed coking, basically eliminating the need for externally sourced residue oil and making up for the raw material processing gap of delayed coking unit. Attached Figure Description
