Detailed Description of the Invention
[0001] [Technical field] This application relates to the field of petrochemical engineering, and more particularly to fluid catalytic conversion systems and their applications.
[0002] [Background technology] In petrochemical manufacturing processes, multiple reactors or multiple reaction zones can be used to create different reaction environments, while catalysts can be separated to use catalysts suitable for different reactions, or different regeneration zones can be used to regenerate catalysts, thereby improving the yield of target products.
[0003] CN110317628A discloses a catalytic cracking method and apparatus in which catalysts are installed in series. The apparatus includes a main reactor, a side reactor, a regenerator, and catalyst A and catalyst B storage tanks, with catalyst A and catalyst B main cyclone separators arranged above them. The regenerator is connected to catalyst A main cyclone separator, which is connected to catalyst B main cyclone separator. The catalyst B main cyclone separator is connected to the regenerator. The bottom of catalyst A storage tank is connected to the main reactor, and the bottom of catalyst B storage tank is connected to the side reactor.
[0004] CN104560149A discloses a catalytic conversion method for producing butylene. This method has a total of four reactors. In addition to adopting a dual riser and fluidized bed reactor configuration, a fluidized bed reactor is located outside the separator to crack the intermediate gasoline cut, and the reaction product flows into the riser reactor to continue the cracking reaction. After the reaction, the catalyst is carbonized and regenerated and returned to the reactor for reuse. This method uses a mixture containing Y zeolite and beta zeolite as a catalyst, which can improve the yield of propylene and butylene.
[0005] CN107828443A discloses a fluidized catalytic cracking process and apparatus for maximizing light olefin yields and other applications. In this process, hydrocarbons, a first catalyst, and a second catalyst are fed into a reactor. The first catalyst has a smaller average particle size and a lower density than the second catalyst. A first portion of the second catalyst is recovered as a bottom product from the reactor. The cracked hydrocarbon effluent, a second portion of the second catalyst, and the first catalyst are recovered as an upper product from the reactor. The upper product is separated in a separation system to obtain a first stream containing the first catalyst and the hydrocarbon liquid effluent, and a second stream containing the second catalyst. The second catalyst separated from the second stream is returned to the reactor.
[0006] CN1031834A discloses a catalytic conversion method for producing light olefins. This method uses petroleum fractions, residual oil, or crude oil with different boiling ranges as raw materials. The catalyst used is a mixture containing Y zeolite and a five-membered ring high-silicon zeolite. The reactor used is a fluidized bed or a moving bed. The reaction conditions are a temperature of 500-650°C, a pressure of 0.15-0.30 MPa, and a weight hourly space velocity of 0.2-20 h. -1 The catalyst-oil ratio is 2 to 12, and the catalyst after the reaction is carbonized and regenerated, and then returned to the reactor for reuse.
[0007] However, when heavy crude oil is catalytically cracked to produce ethylene and propylene using existing catalytic cracking conversion systems and processes, there is room for further improvement in the yields of ethylene and propylene obtained.

The catalyst regeneration unit includes a first catalyst regenerator and a second catalyst regenerator, or a composite catalyst regenerator with a first regeneration zone and a second regeneration zone. The first catalyst regenerator or the first regeneration zone of the composite catalyst regenerator has a first spent catalyst inlet and a first regenerated catalyst outlet. The second catalyst regenerator or the second regeneration zone of the composite catalyst regenerator has a second spent catalyst inlet and a second regenerated catalyst outlet, where the first spent catalyst inlet and the second spent catalyst inlet are connected to the catalyst outlet of the separation device or the first and second material outlets of the catalyst separator, respectively.

The second regenerated catalyst outlet is connected to the second catalyst inlet of the second fluidized bed reactor or the second reaction zone of the composite fluidized bed reactor.
[0010] Meanwhile, there is provided the use of the fluid catalytic conversion system of the present application for the catalytic conversion of hydrocarbon oils, in particular for the catalytic conversion of heavy feedstocks to produce light olefins.
[0011] In another aspect, there is provided a method for catalytically converting hydrocarbon oils, particularly heavy feedstocks, using the fluid catalytic conversion system of the present application, the method comprising the steps of: 1) in a first fluidized bed reactor or a first reaction zone of a composite fluidized bed reactor of a reaction unit of the fluidized catalytic conversion system, contacting a hydrocarbon oil feedstock with a first catalyst to carry out a first catalytic conversion reaction and obtain a first oil-catalyst mixture; 2) contacting the first oil-catalyst mixture with a second catalyst in a second fluidized bed reactor or a second reaction zone of a combined fluidized bed reactor of the reaction unit of the fluidized catalytic conversion system to carry out a second catalytic conversion reaction to obtain a second oil-catalyst mixture; 3) separating the second oil-catalyst mixture in a catalyst separation unit of the fluid catalytic conversion system to obtain an oil and gas product, a first spent catalyst, and a second spent catalyst; 4) regenerating the first spent catalyst in a first catalyst regenerator or a first regeneration zone of a combined catalyst regenerator of a catalyst regeneration unit of the fluid catalytic conversion system, and returning the resulting first regenerated catalyst to step 1) as the first catalyst; and 5) regenerating the second spent catalyst in a second catalyst regenerator or a second regeneration zone of a combined catalyst regenerator of a catalyst regeneration unit of the fluid catalytic conversion system, and returning the resulting second regenerated catalyst to step 2) as the second catalyst.
[0012] The fluidized catalytic conversion system of the present invention employs multiple fluidized-bed reactors / reaction zones arranged in series, creating different reaction environments within them. It also combines multi-stage catalyst separation with multiple catalyst regenerators / regeneration zones to separately regenerate multiple catalysts. As a result, different reactions can be achieved in different reactors / reaction zones under more suitable catalysts and reaction conditions, thereby improving the yield of target products. In particular, when used in the production of light olefins by catalytic cracking of heavy feedstocks, the fluidized catalytic conversion system of the present invention can further improve the yield of ethylene and propylene.
[0013] The catalytic conversion method of the present application first contacts a hydrocarbon oil feedstock with a first catalyst to carry out a first catalytic conversion reaction (e.g., a primary cracking reaction or an alkane dehydrogenation reaction), and then contacts the reaction product with a second catalyst to carry out a first catalytic conversion reaction (e.g., a secondary cracking reaction or an olefin cracking reaction). This realizes a relay of two catalytic conversion reactions of the hydrocarbon oil feedstock, and as a result, the active species generated in the first stage reaction can be completely retained in the feedstock for the second stage reaction, thereby accelerating the second catalytic conversion reaction, suppressing the occurrence of side reactions, and improving the yield of target products (e.g., light olefins such as ethylene and propylene).

[0061] Particular embodiments of the fluid catalytic conversion system of the first aspect of the present application are described in further detail below.
[0062] Embodiment 1 As shown in FIG. 8, the fluidized catalytic conversion system of the first embodiment includes a composite fluidized-bed reactor having an upstream-bed first reaction zone 1-1 and an upstream-bed second reaction zone 1-2, a separator 2, a catalyst separator 2-50, and a regenerator. The first reaction zone 1-1 has a first feedstock oil inlet, a first catalyst inlet, and a first oil-catalyst mixture outlet. The second reaction zone 1-2 has an oil-catalyst mixture inlet, a second catalyst inlet, a second oil-catalyst mixture outlet, and an optional second feedstock oil inlet. The first oil-catalyst mixture outlet of the first reaction zone 1-1 is connected to the oil-catalyst mixture inlet at the bottom of the second reaction zone 1-2. The separator 2 has an oil-catalyst mixture inlet, an oil and gas mixture outlet, and a catalyst outlet. The oil-catalyst mixture inlet is connected to the second oil-catalyst mixture outlet of the second reaction zone 1-2. The catalyst separator 2-50 is located outside the separator 2 and has a material inlet, a first material outlet, and a second material outlet. The material inlet is connected to the catalyst outlet of the separator 2. The regenerator is provided with a regenerator partition for dividing the regenerator into a first regeneration zone 3-1 and a second regeneration zone 3-2 arranged vertically. The first material outlet of the catalyst separator is connected to the first regeneration zone 3-1 to transport the first spent catalyst. The second material outlet of the catalyst separator is connected to the second regeneration zone 3-2 to transport the second spent catalyst. The first regeneration zone 3-1 is connected to the first reaction zone 1-1 to transport the first regenerated catalyst. The second regeneration zone 3-2 is connected to the second reaction zone 1-2 to transport the second regenerated catalyst.
[0063] In this embodiment, the first oil-catalyst mixture outlet of the first reaction zone is connected to the oil-catalyst mixture inlet at the bottom of the second reaction zone. That is, the first reaction zone and the second reaction zone are connected in series. This allows the materials undergoing the first catalytic conversion in the first reaction zone (including the first catalyst, reaction oil and gas, and fluidization medium) to enter the second reaction zone without separation and contact the second catalyst to undergo the second catalytic conversion reaction. That is, the first catalytic conversion reaction and the second catalytic conversion reaction can be carried out in a relay manner. The separator performs gas-solid separation and stripping on the materials undergoing the second catalytic conversion in the second reaction zone (including the first catalyst, second catalyst, reaction oil and gas, and fluidization medium), thereby obtaining oil and gas products and the mixed catalyst to be regenerated. The catalyst separator separates the mixed catalyst to be regenerated, so that the first spent catalyst and the second spent catalyst, which have larger particle sizes and densities, basically flow into the first regeneration zone, and the second spent catalyst, which have smaller particle sizes and densities, flow into the second regeneration zone. The two portions of the catalyst to be regenerated are then regenerated in the first and second regeneration zones, respectively, thereby achieving relatively independent regeneration of the first and second catalysts, which are then returned to the first and second reaction zones, respectively, to participate in the reaction again.
[0064] During operation, the first reaction zone contains an upflow first catalyst. The second reaction zone contains an upflow second catalyst and an upflow first catalyst. The particle size and density of the first catalyst are greater than those of the second catalyst. The catalyst separator separates the first catalyst from the second catalyst based on the difference between the particle size and density of the first catalyst and the particle size and density of the second catalyst. In the catalyst separator, a first material outlet for the first spent catalyst is located below a second material outlet for the second spent catalyst.
[0065] Optionally, part or all of the second reaction zone is located within the settling zone of the separator 2. For example, a pipe lateral to the second reaction zone for transporting the second oil-catalyst mixture 104 can be located within the settling zone of the separator 2.
[0066] In a particular preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 9, the separation device is externally connected to a two-stage catalyst separator, where the lower part of the first-stage catalyst separator 2-51 has a first material outlet and the upper part of the first-stage catalyst separator has a light material outlet. The light material outlet is connected to the material inlet of the second-stage catalyst separator 2-52. The upper part of the second-stage catalyst separator is provided with a residual reaction oil and gas outlet, and the lower part of the second-stage catalyst separator is provided with a second material outlet.
[0067] In this preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the separator includes a settling zone 2-1 and a stripping section 2-2 connected to the bottom of the settling zone 2-1. An oil and gas product outlet is provided at the top of the separator. A gas-solid separator is also provided within the separator. The second oil-catalyst mixture 104 from the second reaction zone 1-2 is introduced into the high-speed separator 2-7 of the separator. The resulting reaction oil and gas 208 is introduced into a subsequent product separation unit (not shown) via a gas collection chamber 2-8. The resulting mixed spent catalyst is introduced into the stripping section 2-2 for stripping. After stripping, the mixed spent catalyst is introduced into a first-stage catalyst separator 2-51 and a second-stage catalyst separator 2-52. Depending on the particle size distribution and particle density of the catalyst, the mixed spent catalyst is divided into a first spent catalyst with a large particle size and particle density and a second spent catalyst with a small particle size and particle density. The first spent catalyst is introduced into the first regeneration zone 3-1 through the first spent catalyst supply pipe 202 and regenerated. The second spent catalyst is introduced into the second regeneration zone 3-2 through the second spent catalyst supply pipe 206 and regenerated. The residual reaction oil and gas 207 in the catalyst separator is returned to the top of the separator through a pipeline and discharged out of the system together with the reaction oil and gas 208.
[0068] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the first regeneration zone 3-1 and the second regeneration zone 3-2 are arranged in series. The first regeneration zone 3-1 is located below the second regeneration zone 3-2. They are separated by a regenerator partition 3-3, which is provided with a first regeneration exhaust gas outlet. The first spent catalyst from the catalyst separator is introduced into the first regeneration zone 3-1 through the first spent catalyst supply pipe 202 and reacts with the main air from the bottom of the first regeneration zone 3-1 to produce a first regenerated catalyst and a first regeneration exhaust gas through a first regeneration reaction. The produced first regenerated catalyst is introduced into the first reaction zone 1-1 through the first regenerated catalyst supply pipe 302 and recycled. The first regeneration exhaust gas is introduced into the second regeneration zone 3-2 through the first regeneration exhaust gas outlet provided in the regenerator partition 3-3. The second spent catalyst from the catalyst separator is introduced into the second regeneration zone 3-2 via the second spent catalyst supply pipe 206, where it comes into contact with and reacts with the first regeneration exhaust gas from the first regeneration zone 3-1, producing a second regenerated catalyst and a second regeneration exhaust gas through a second regeneration reaction. The produced second regenerated catalyst is introduced into the second reaction zone 1-2 via the second regenerated catalyst supply pipe 303 and reused. The second regeneration exhaust gas 304A is discharged from the regenerator through the gas collection chamber 3-5. The first regeneration employs incomplete regeneration, while the second regeneration employs complete regeneration. That is, the first regeneration gas obtained in the first regeneration zone 3-1 is introduced into the second regeneration zone 3-2 and undergoes a regeneration reaction with the second regenerated catalyst.
[0069] In a particularly preferred embodiment, the fluidized catalytic conversion system is operated as follows: first feedstock 101 is preheated to 180-340°C and then injected through a nozzle into the bottom of a riser-type first reaction zone 1-1, where it contacts and reacts with a first catalyst introduced into the bottom of the first reaction zone 1-1 through a first regenerated catalyst supply pipe 302. The reaction temperature is 520-620°C, preferably 540-600°C, the catalyst-to-oil ratio is 2-25, preferably 3-20, and the reaction time is 1-15 seconds, preferably 2-10 seconds. The resulting first oil-catalyst mixture is introduced into a riser-type second reaction zone 1-2. The second feedstock oil 103 is preheated to 100-150°C and then injected through a nozzle into the bottom of the second reaction zone 1-2. The second feedstock oil is then contacted with the second catalyst introduced into the bottom of the second reaction zone 1-2 through the second regenerated catalyst supply pipe 303 and the first oil-catalyst mixture from the first reaction zone 1-1 to react with the second catalyst. The reaction temperature is 540-640°C, preferably 560-620°C, the catalyst-to-oil ratio is 3-30, preferably 5-25, and the reaction time is 1-10 seconds, preferably 2-8 seconds. The resulting oil-catalyst mixture is introduced into the high-speed separator 2-7 of the separation device. The resulting reaction oil and gas 208 are discharged from the device through the gas collection chamber 2-8. The resulting mixed spent catalyst is introduced into the stripping section 2-2 for stripping. After stripping, the mixed spent catalyst is introduced into the first-stage catalyst separator 2-51 and the second-stage catalyst separator 2-52. The first spent catalyst is introduced into the first regeneration zone 3-1 via the first spent catalyst supply pipe 202 and regenerated. The second spent catalyst is introduced into the second regeneration zone 3-2 via the second spent catalyst supply pipe 206 and regenerated. The regenerated first and second regenerated catalysts are returned to the bottom of the first reaction zone 1-1 and the bottom of the second reaction zone 1-2 via the first regenerated catalyst supply pipe 302 and the second regenerated catalyst supply pipe 303, respectively, and are reused.
[0070] Embodiment 2 As shown in Figure 11, the second embodiment of the fluidized catalytic conversion system includes a composite fluidized-bed reactor having an upstream-bed first reaction zone 1-1 and an upstream-bed second reaction zone 1-2, a separator, and a regenerator. The first reaction zone 1-1 has a first feedstock inlet, a first catalyst inlet, and a first oil-catalyst mixture outlet. The second reaction zone 1-2 has an oil-catalyst mixture inlet, a second catalyst inlet, a second oil-catalyst mixture outlet, and an optional second feedstock inlet. The first oil-catalyst mixture outlet of the first reaction zone 1-1 is connected to the oil-catalyst mixture inlet at the bottom of the second reaction zone 1-2. The separator is equipped with a settling zone partition 2-6 and a catalyst separator 2-50. The settling zone partition 2-6 separates the settling zone of the separator into a first settling zone 2-1 and a second settling zone 2-3. The first settling zone 2-1 is located below the settling zone partition 2-6, and the second settling zone 2-3 is located above the settling zone partition 2-6. The catalyst separator 2-50 has a material inlet connected to the second oil-catalyst mixture outlet of the second reaction zone 1-2, a first material outlet opening in the first settling zone 2-1, and a second material outlet opening in the second settling zone 2-3. The regenerator is provided with a regenerator partition that divides the regenerator into a first regeneration zone 3-1 and a second regeneration zone 3-2 arranged side by side. The first spent catalyst is transported between and connected to the first settling zone 2-1 and the first regeneration zone 3-1. The second spent catalyst is transported between and connected to the second settling zone 2-3 and the second regeneration zone 3-2. The first regenerated catalyst is transported between and connected to the first regeneration zone 3-1 and the first reaction zone 1-1. The second regenerated catalyst is transported and connected between the second regeneration zone 3-2 and the second reaction zone 1-2.
[0071] In this embodiment, the first oil-catalyst mixture outlet of the first reaction zone is connected to the oil-catalyst mixture inlet at the bottom of the second reaction zone. That is, the first reaction zone and the second reaction zone are connected in series. This allows the materials that have undergone the first catalytic conversion in the first reaction zone (including the first catalyst, reaction oil and gas, and fluidization medium) to enter the second reaction zone without separation and contact the second catalyst to carry out the second catalytic conversion reaction. That is, the first catalytic conversion reaction and the second catalytic conversion reaction can be carried out in a relay manner. The catalyst separator separates the materials that have undergone the second catalytic conversion in the second reaction zone (including the first catalyst, the second catalyst, reaction oil and gas, and fluidization medium). As a result, of the first spent catalyst and the second spent catalyst, those with larger particle sizes and densities flow primarily into the first settling zone, while those with smaller particle sizes and densities flow primarily into the second settling zone together with the reaction oil and gas and the fluidization medium. The spent catalyst in the first settling zone is then regenerated in a first regeneration zone, and the spent catalyst in the second settling zone is regenerated in a second regeneration zone, thereby achieving relatively independent regeneration of the first and second catalysts. The regenerated first and second catalysts are returned to the first and second reaction zones, respectively, to participate in the reaction again.
[0072] During operation, the first reaction zone contains an upflow first catalyst. The second reaction zone contains an upflow second catalyst and an upflow first catalyst. The particle size and density of the first catalyst are greater than those of the second catalyst. The catalyst separator separates the first catalyst from the second catalyst based on the difference between the particle size and density of the first catalyst and the particle size and density of the second catalyst.
[0073] Optionally, part or all of the second reaction zone is located within the first or second settling zone of the separator. For example, a lateral pipe of the second reaction zone for transporting the second oil-catalyst mixture 104 can be located within the second settling zone of the separator.
[0074] Preferably, a first stripping section and a second stripping section are provided, which are connected to the bottom of the first settling zone and the bottom of the second settling zone, respectively, and can be located inside or outside the separation device, for extracting oil and gas products adhering to the catalyst.
[0075] In a particularly preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 12, the catalyst separator 2-50 is fixed on a settling zone partition 2-6. The bottom of the first settling zone 2-1 is connected to its first stripping section 2-2. The top of the first settling zone 2-1 is provided with a first stripping material outlet. The first stripping material outlet is connected to a pipeline 203. The bottom of the second settling zone 2-3 is connected to a second stripping section 2-4 located outside the separation apparatus. The top of the second stripping section 2-4 is provided with a second stripping material outlet. The second stripping material outlet is connected to a pipeline 207.
[0076] In this preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the second oil-catalyst mixture 104 from the second reaction zone is introduced into a catalyst separator 2-50. Based on the catalyst particle size distribution and particle density, the second oil-catalyst mixture 104 is divided into a first catalyst portion having a large particle size and particle density and a second catalyst portion having a small particle size and particle density. The first catalyst portion is introduced into a first stripping section 2-2 via a first settling zone 2-1 and stripped to obtain a first spent catalyst. The first spent catalyst is introduced into a first regeneration zone 3-1 via a first spent catalyst supply pipe 202 for regeneration. The second catalyst portion is introduced into a second stripping section 2-4 via a second settling zone 2-3 and stripped to obtain a second spent catalyst. The second spent catalyst is introduced into a second regeneration zone 3-2 via a second spent catalyst supply pipe 206 for regeneration. The first stripping material obtained in the first stripping section 2-2 and the second stripping material obtained in the second stripping section 2-4 are both introduced into the top of the separation device and discharged out of the system together with the reaction oil and gas 208.
[0077] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 13, the first regeneration zone 3-1 and the second regeneration zone 3-2 are arranged side by side. Optionally, the first regeneration zone 3-1 and the second regeneration zone 3-2 are connected at their tops. The first regeneration zone 3-1 and the second regeneration zone 3-2 are provided with gas-solid separators 3-41 and 3-42, respectively. The upper end of the regenerator partition 3-3 is located higher than the solid outlets of the gas-solid separators 3-41 and 3-42.
[0078] In this preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, the first spent catalyst from the first stripping section 2-2 is introduced into the first regeneration zone 3-1 through the first spent catalyst supply pipe 202, where it reacts with the main air from the bottom of the first regeneration zone 3-1 to undergo a regeneration reaction. The resulting first regenerated catalyst is introduced into the first reaction zone 1-1 through the first regenerated catalyst supply pipe 302 and reused. The regenerated exhaust gas 304A is discharged from the regenerator through the gas collection chamber 3-5. The second spent catalyst from the second stripping section 2-4 is introduced into the second regeneration zone 3-2 through the second spent catalyst supply pipe 206, where it reacts with the main air from the bottom of the second regeneration zone 3-2 to undergo a regeneration reaction. The resulting second regenerated catalyst is introduced into the second reaction zone 1-2 through the second regenerated catalyst supply pipe 303 and reused. The regenerated exhaust gas 304A is discharged from the regenerator through the gas collection chamber 3-5.
