Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of heavy oil catalytic cracking reactors, specifically a circulating heavy oil catalytic cracking reactor using a cold regeneration catalyst. Background Technology

[0002] Catalytic cracking is one of the most important processes in secondary petroleum processing. In heavy oil catalytic cracking, vanadium is typically present in the heavy oil feedstock, especially in the residue from high-sulfur crude oil. During catalytic cracking, vanadium deposits on the catalyst surface, leading to catalyst poisoning, reduced activity and selectivity, increased coke and gas production, and decreased yields of high-value products such as gasoline. Furthermore, vanadium can have synergistic effects with other metals (such as nickel and iron), exacerbating catalyst deactivation. Therefore, removing vanadium impurities is crucial for maintaining catalyst life and the economic efficiency of heavy oil catalytic cracking units.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN208136168U discloses a circulating heavy oil catalytic cracking reactor using a cold-regenerated catalyst. The reactor includes a reactor, a riser, a mixing tank, a baffle plate, a catalyst injection pipe, a stirring motor, a connecting pipe, a cooler, a fluidizing ring, and a centrifuge. An inlet is located at the top of the reactor. A centrifuge is installed on one side of the reactor, and the other side of the reactor is connected to the cooler via a discharge pipe. A fluidizing ring is installed at the bottom of the cooler and is connected to the mixing tank via a connecting pipe. A baffle plate is fixedly installed in the middle of the mixing tank. One side wall of the mixing tank is fixedly connected to the catalyst injection pipe, and the bottom of the other side of the mixing tank is connected to the reactor interior via a riser. The beneficial effects of this invention are: it greatly improves the utilization rate of heavy oil; the cooled regenerated catalyst is mixed with the newly injected regenerated catalyst and then reintroduced into the reactor for catalytic action, thus improving catalytic efficiency.

[0004] However, the reactor disclosed in the above patent still has certain shortcomings in the process of heavy oil catalytic cracking. It does not have the function of removing vanadium impurities present in the heavy oil feedstock, which causes vanadium impurities to deposit on the catalyst surface, resulting in catalyst poisoning, reduced activity and selectivity, and thus affecting the service life of the catalyst. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a circulating heavy oil catalytic cracking reactor that uses a cold regeneration catalyst, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing circulating heavy oil catalytic cracking reactors do not have the function of removing vanadium impurities present in the heavy oil feedstock, which affects the service life of the catalyst.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a circulating heavy oil catalytic cracking reactor using a cold regeneration catalyst, comprising a reactor base and a reaction vessel and a control box respectively fixed to the top walls on both sides of the reactor base. A passivating agent storage box is fixedly installed on one side of the top wall of the control box. A metering input cylinder is provided on the top of the reaction vessel. A drive rod is rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the metering input cylinder. One end of the drive rod extends to the outside of the metering input cylinder. A helical blade is fixedly installed on the surface of the drive rod in the inner cavity of the metering input cylinder. A feeding cylinder is connected to the bottom wall of one end of the metering input cylinder. The bottom end of the feeding cylinder is connected to the inner cavity of the reaction vessel. A motor is connected to one end of the drive rod. A feeding box is connected to the top wall of one end of the metering input cylinder. An anti-clogging mechanism is provided at the bottom of the metering input cylinder.

[0007] Preferably, the anti-clogging mechanism includes a fixing block fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the quantitative input cylinder, and a transmission rod is installed through the body of the fixing block via a bearing. One end of the transmission rod passes through the wall of the feeding cylinder via a bearing and extends into the inner cavity of the feeding cylinder.

[0008] Preferably, the anti-clogging mechanism further includes an eccentric cam fixedly installed at the end of the transmission rod, the eccentric cam being located in the inner cavity of the feed cylinder, a second gear being fixedly installed at the other end of the transmission rod, and a first gear meshing with the second gear being fixedly installed at one end of the drive rod.

[0009] Preferably, four fixing plates are fixedly installed on the top wall of the reactor, and the top part of the fixing plates is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the metering input cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, a support base is fixedly installed on the top wall of the control box, and the motor is fixed to the top wall of the support base.

[0011] Preferably, support rods are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom wall of the reactor and the control box.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention features a passivating agent storage box on the top wall of the control box. During the catalytic cracking reaction of circulating heavy oil in the reactor, passivating agent from the storage box is added to the metering cylinder via a feeding box. A motor drives a rotating drive rod, and the helical blades and the feeding cylinder ensure that the passivating agent is metered into the reactor. This passivating agent reacts with vanadium impurities to form stable compounds, reducing their erosion of the catalyst and extending its lifespan. Furthermore, the transmission between the first and second gears causes the rotating drive rod to rotate, which in turn causes the transmission rod to rotate, leading to the rotation of an eccentric cam in the feeding cylinder. During rotation, the eccentric cam disperses the falling passivating agent, preventing blockage during feeding. Attached Figure Description

A metering input cylinder 5 is located on top of the reaction vessel 2, and a drive rod 9 is rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the metering input cylinder 5. The left end of the drive rod 9 is mounted on the left side wall of the inner cavity of the metering input cylinder 5 via a bearing, and the right end of the drive rod 9 passes through the right side wall of the metering input cylinder 5 via a bearing. The right end of the drive rod 9 extends to the outside of the metering input cylinder 5. A spiral blade 16 welded to the surface of the drive rod 9 is provided in the inner cavity of the metering input cylinder 5. A feed cylinder 15 is connected to the bottom wall of the left end of the metering input cylinder 5, and the bottom end of the feed cylinder 15 is connected to the inner cavity of the reaction vessel 2. The right end of the drive rod 9 is connected to the motor 8 via a coupling. The top wall of the right end of the quantitative input cylinder 5 is connected to the feeding box 6. The bottom of the quantitative input cylinder 5 is equipped with an anti-clogging mechanism.

[0021] The anti-clogging mechanism includes a fixing block 17 welded to the bottom wall of the metering input cylinder 5. A transmission rod 11 is mounted on the body of the fixing block 17 via a bearing. The left end of the transmission rod 11 passes through the wall of the feeding cylinder 15 via a bearing and extends into the inner cavity of the feeding cylinder 15. The anti-clogging mechanism also includes an eccentric cam 18 welded to the left end of the transmission rod 11, located within the inner cavity of the feeding cylinder 15. A second gear 12 is welded to the right end of the transmission rod 11. A first gear 10, meshing with the second gear 12, is welded to the right end of the drive rod 9. This is to allow the drive rod 9 to rotate, causing the transmission rod 11 to rotate as well. Four fixing plates 14 are welded to the top wall of the reactor 2. The top ends of the fixing plates 14 are welded to the bottom outer wall of the metering input cylinder 5, providing stable support for the metering input cylinder 5.
