Description

Method and system for producing light aromatics Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of petrochemical industry, and in particular to a method and system for producing light aromatic hydrocarbons. Background Art

[0002] With the trend toward heavier crude oil and the rapidly growing market demand for lighter, higher-quality products, catalytic cracking (FCC) technology, a method for lightening heavy oil, has rapidly developed in my country. However, the quality of FC diesel (also known as FC light cycle oil) has been relatively poor, characterized by high density, high aromatics content, and a low cetane number. Even diesel hydro-reforming technology has struggled to meet increasingly stringent diesel specifications. Light aromatics (benzene, toluene, and xylene, collectively known as BTX), represented by paraxylene, are important raw materials for the production of chemical products. Market demand for these hydrocarbons is increasing, and demand currently exceeds supply. Therefore, producing light aromatics through FC diesel is a market-driven approach.

[0003] US4585545A discloses a catalytic conversion method for producing gasoline rich in monocyclic aromatics by first subjecting the whole fraction of catalytically cracked light cycle oil to hydrogenation treatment and then subjecting the obtained hydrogenated diesel to catalytic cracking.

[0004] CN01807978.4 (CN1422327A) discloses a method for upgrading catalytic cracking light cycle oil, which involves deep hydrogenation of catalytic light cycle oil produced by a first catalytic cracking unit using heavy oil as raw material, and the resulting hydrogenated diesel is fed to a second catalytic cracking unit.

[0005] CN01808113.4 (CN1466619A) discloses a method for converting catalytic cracking light cycle oil, which divides the catalytic cracking riser reaction zone into two reaction zones, upstream and downstream, wherein heavy oil is injected into the downstream zone, and the hydrogenated cycle oil obtained by hydrogenating the catalytic cracking product light cycle oil is injected into the upstream zone.

[0006] CN103923698B discloses a method for producing aromatic compounds. The diesel fraction with a distillation range of 250 to 450°C obtained by catalytic cracking is sent to a hydrotreating unit, and the catalytic cracking heavy cycle oil is hydrogenated and then catalytically cracked to produce benzene, toluene, and xylene.

[0007] CN104560187B discloses a catalytic conversion method for producing aromatics-rich gasoline, which cuts catalytic cracking light cycle oil into a light fraction and a heavy fraction. The heavy fraction is hydrogenated and then separately fed into different catalytic cracking units together with the light fraction to maximize the production of catalytic gasoline rich in benzene, toluene, and xylene.

[0008] From the above-disclosed literature, it can be found that one of the important ways to process catalytic cracking light cycle oil is to hydrotreat it before catalytic cracking. However, it is worth noting that the selection of fractions before and after hydrogenation is crucial to both hydrogen consumption and the yield of light aromatics from catalytic cracking.

Furthermore, the reaction products obtained by catalytic cracking are separated by a second distillation tower device to obtain a first distillate oil and gas, a second distillate oil, and an oil slurry. The second distillate oil is returned to the first stage of the above-mentioned hydrogenation treatment.
