Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of petrochemical technology, and in particular to a vacuum tower for a slurry bed residue oil hydrogenation unit. Background Technology

[0002] Crude oil is a key aspect of my country's energy security. How to efficiently utilize crude oil resources and reduce external demand has become a common challenge for domestic professionals and companies. In order to maximize the utilization of crude oil, the deep conversion and utilization of heavy fractions, especially heavy oil fractions, is crucial.

[0003] Heavy oil is a byproduct of atmospheric and vacuum distillation units in refineries. Currently, the main methods for processing heavy oil are catalytic cracking and hydrocracking. The current domestic processing trend leans towards slurry-bed hydrocracking to achieve lighter oil. However, its ash, asphaltenes, and gum content are also high, resulting in high viscosity, poor fluidity, high surface tension, easy coking and deposition, and easy blockage when it enters fractionation after the reaction, especially in the lower part of the vacuum distillation tower. During the coking process, the H / C ratio of the coke is between 0.5 and 1.5. It is a carbonaceous organic compound that is insoluble in a certain solvent. The thermal reaction of heavy oil is a parallel sequential reaction. The reason for coke formation is the result of complex physicochemical reactions of large molecular hydrocarbons through condensation and polymerization reactions.

[0004] Analytical methods separate heavy oil into four components: saturated fraction, aromatic fraction, gums, and asphaltenes. The saturated fraction is mainly composed of various branched chains and relatively long aliphatic chains, with virtually no aromatic rings or heteroatoms. During hydrocracking, it produces gases and light fractions such as gasoline, without undergoing cyclization or aromatization reactions. The saturated fraction promotes coking reactions because its strong hydrogen-repellent ability reduces the hydrogen supply from aromatic fractions and gums to asphaltenes, promoting the condensation reaction of large asphaltenes. In hydrocracking, aromatic fractions mainly undergo thermal cracking free radical reactions, condensing to form gums while producing light distillate oils. This process continues with increasing reaction time and... As the reaction temperature increases, the generated gums will further condense to form asphaltenes. However, the asphaltenes will not convert into carbon deposits under sufficient hydrogen supply. At high temperatures, aromatics will crack to form saturated fractions. Saturated fractions have a strong ability to attract hydrogen, which will increase the coking rate. In order to reduce the risk of coking, the temperature should not be too high to prevent excessive conversion of aromatics into saturated fractions. During the hydrocracking process, gums generate light distillate oils. Under low space velocity conditions, the yield of light distillate oils increases. The structures of both gums and asphaltenes are relatively complex. It is generally believed that gums encapsulate asphaltenes. During the heating process, gums are the main hydrogen donor for asphaltenes.

[0005] Heavy oil entering a slurry-bed residue hydrocracking unit typically achieves a conversion rate of around 92%. Further separation via slurry fractionation and atmospheric fractionation yields products such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), light naphtha, heavy naphtha, diesel oil, light wax, wax oil, and heavy wax. The bottom residue from the vacuum distillation tower is sent to downstream gasification units for hydrogen production and precious metal recovery. Simultaneously, due to the high reaction conversion rate and effective separation by the slurry fractionation system, most of the ash, catalyst, asphaltenes, and gums accumulate at the bottom of the vacuum distillation tower.

[0006] Heavy vacuum slurry contains a large amount of asphaltenes, gums, and solid particles, posing a challenge to the design of vacuum towers. The presence of these substances exacerbates deposition and coking, leading to blockage. Conventional vacuum tower designs cannot effectively solve the problems of coking and blockage caused by these substances. This necessitates special design and operational optimization of the vacuum tower's packing, distributors, and stripping distributors to reduce the rate of coking and blockage at the bottom of the vacuum tower and ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment.

A vacuum system 2 is connected to the top of the tower body 1 to extract gas from the tower body 1 and reduce the pressure inside the tower body 1. The bottom of the tower body 1 is a conical outlet 3 for discharging the vacuum residue. Several liquid collecting trays 4 are installed at intervals from top to bottom inside the tower body 1, dividing the interior of the tower body 1 into a vacuum reduction zone 1 5, a vacuum reduction zone 2 6, a vacuum reduction zone 3 7, a vacuum reduction zone 4 8, and a bottom separation zone 9. A vacuum reduction distributor is connected to the vacuum reduction zone 1 5, a vacuum reduction distributor is connected to the vacuum reduction zone 2 6, a vacuum reduction distributor is connected to the vacuum reduction zone 3 7, a vacuum reduction distributor is connected to the vacuum reduction zone 4 8, and a vacuum reduction distributor is connected to the bottom separation zone 9. The tower has a heavy wax oil line and a feed distributor. Inside the tower body 1, from top to bottom, there are a first packing layer 27, a second packing layer 28, a third packing layer 29, a fourth packing layer 30, and a fifth packing layer 31.

The fifth packing layer 31 is designed with M125Y structured corrugated packing and M40AF grid structured packing to improve the separation effect of wax oil components, thereby increasing the yield of wax oil. Compared with corrugated packing, the increased gap fundamentally avoids the risk of blockage and reduces the coking rate.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the feed distributor includes a slurry feed pipe 21 and a feed distribution pipe 22. The feed distribution pipe 22 is located inside the tower body 1 and is connected to the slurry feed pipe 21 to realize the delivery and spraying of slurry into the tower body 1.

The first wax oil distribution pipe 16 is installed in the reduced pressure zone 8 and is connected to the wax oil feed pipe 15 through the first branch 18. The second wax oil distribution pipe 17 is installed in the bottom separation zone 9 and is connected to the wax oil feed pipe 15 through the second branch 19. By adding a heavy wax oil line, the feed temperature is reduced when the slurry enters the tower body 1.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the air-lift distributor includes a steam inlet pipe 12, an annular distribution pipe 13, and two straight rod distribution pipes 14.

The distribution is reasonable, the steam spray range is wide, and the steam and slurry are in full contact, which improves the air-lift effect and efficiency.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a herringbone tray 20 is also installed inside the tower body 1. The herringbone tray 20 is located between the straight rod distribution pipe 14 and the second wax oil distribution pipe 17. The herringbone tray 20 enables the gas to flow continuously up and down and left and right inside the tower body 1, increasing the chance of gas-liquid contact and thus achieving better separation.

[0028] like Figure 1As shown, the reducer distributor includes a reducer pump 32, a reducer pipe 33, a reducer upper return pipe 34, a reducer upper return distribution pipe 35, a reducer lower return pipe 36, a reducer lower return distribution pipe 37, and a reducer discharge pipe 38.

The reducer upper return pipe 34, the reducer lower return pipe 36, and the reducer discharge pipe 38 are all connected to the outlet of the reducer pump 32. The reducer upper return distribution pipe 35 is located inside the tower body 1 and is installed above the first packing layer 27. The simplified upper return distribution pipe is connected to the reducer upper return pipe 34 through a flange for easy disassembly and assembly. A second heat exchanger 50 is installed on the reducer upper return pipe 34 for heat exchange. The reducer lower return distribution pipe 37 is located above the second packing layer 28 and is connected to the reducer lower return pipe 36 through a flange.

[0029] The reduced pressure distributor includes a reduced pressure pump 39, a reduced pressure pump pipe 40, a reduced pressure return pipe 41, a reduced pressure return distribution pipe 42, and a reduced pressure discharge pipe 43. The inlet of the reduced pressure pump 39 is connected to the tower body 1 through the reduced pressure pump pipe 40. The reduced pressure return pipe 41 and the reduced pressure discharge pipe 43 are both connected to the outlet of the reduced pressure pump 39. The reduced pressure return distribution pipe 42 is located above the third packing layer 29. The reduced pressure return distribution pipe 42 is connected to the reduced pressure return pipe 41 through a flange.

[0030] The three-stage distributor includes a three-stage oil pump 44, a three-stage oil pumping pipe 45, a three-stage return pipe 46, a three-stage return distribution pipe 47, and a three-stage discharge pipe 48. The inlet of the two-stage oil pump 39 is connected to the tower body 1 through the three-stage oil pumping pipe 45. The three-stage return pipe 46 and the three-stage discharge pipe 48 are both connected to the outlet of the three-stage oil pump 44. The three-stage return distribution pipe 47 is located above the fourth packing layer 30 and is flanged to the three-stage return pipe 46.

[0031] Multiple stages of separation and distillation are achieved by using a reducing distributor, a reducing distributor, and a reducing distributor installed on column body 1, in conjunction with a reducing distributor.

[0032] By setting two reduced pressure return distribution pipes 11, the amount of reduced pressure return is increased, improving the spraying effect. By adding a heavy wax oil line on the tower body 1, the feed temperature of the vacuum tower is ensured not to exceed 340℃. Lowering the feed temperature also allows for the dilution of the feed slurry in the first instance, improving the thermal stability of the asphalt and reducing the probability of blockage of the air stripping filter. By installing the annular distribution pipe 13 and the straight rod distribution pipe 14 of the air stripping distributor on the side wall and inside the tower body 1, respectively, the residence time of the material at the bottom of the tower is shortened, making it less likely for sediment to deposit on the tower wall and reducing the condensation of polycyclic hydrocarbons.
