Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention provides a flexible wax oil hydrotreating process, namely, a part of reactant flow is extracted from the middle part of a first hydrotreating reactor, and the wax oil raw oil and the LCO raw oil are subjected to a combined process of two hydrotreating reaction zones to produce high-quality catalytic cracking raw materials.
The flexible wax oil hydrotreating process of the invention comprises the following steps:
a. the method comprises the following steps that firstly, wax oil raw oil passes through a hydrotreating catalyst bed layer on the upper part of a first hydrotreating reactor under a hydrotreating condition to obtain a first hydrotreating material flow, the part of the material flow is divided into two parts, and one part of the material flow is pumped out of the first hydrotreating reactor;
b. the rest part of the first hydrotreating material flow in the step a continuously passes through a lower hydrotreating catalyst bed layer of a first hydrotreating reactor under the hydrotreating condition, and the obtained material flow generated by the first hydrotreating reactor is separated and fractionated (or stripped) to obtain a first hydrogenation gas product, a first hydrogenation naphtha product, first hydrogenation diesel oil and first hydrogenation heavy fraction;
c. and b, mixing the first hydrotreating material flow extracted from the first hydrotreating reactor in the step a with LCO, and allowing the mixture to pass through a hydrotreating catalyst bed of a second hydrotreating reactor under a hydrotreating condition to obtain a material flow generated by the second hydrotreating reactor, and separating and fractionating (or stripping) the material flow to obtain a second hydrogenated gas product, a second hydrogenated naphtha product, second hydrogenated diesel oil and second hydrogenated heavy fraction.
According to the flexible wax oil hydrotreating process of the invention, the separation and fractionation processes in step b and step c preferably share a set of separation and fractionation system. Wherein, the high-pressure hydrogen-rich gas obtained in the separation process is respectively recycled or recycled after being mixed.
The requirements of product quality, environmental protection, process operation and the like all limit the properties of raw oil of a catalytic cracking unit, particularly the sulfur content, and the distribution and properties of catalytic cracking products are greatly different due to different raw oil compositions; the research shows that: the aromatic hydrocarbon hydrogenation saturation depth of LCO has great influence on the quality of catalytic cracking gasoline products, particularly monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in gasoline is a high-octane component, the octane number of the catalytic cracking gasoline can be increased by increasing the content of the monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in hydrogenated LCO, the hydrogenation difficulty is reduced because the extracted first hydrotreating material flow is subjected to partial hydrogenation reaction, so that the first hydrotreating material flow can meet the aim requirements of hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrogenation under a mild operation condition after being mixed with LCO, the hydrogenation depth of LCO can be just controlled at the moment, namely, the bicyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in LCO are hydrogenated to the monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon on the premise of meeting the sulfur content, but not the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon is generated due to excessive hydrogenation depth, or the bicyclic aromatic hydrocarbon is generated due to insufficient hydrogenation depth, so that the content of the aromatic hydrocarbon in the catalytic cracking gasoline can be increased when the hydrotreated products enter a catalytic cracking device again, thereby improving the octane number of the catalytic cracking gasoline.
Compared with the prior art, the flexible wax oil hydrotreating process has the advantages that:
1. in the present invention, the first hydroprocessing reactor comprises at least two hydroprocessing catalyst beds. Through the extraction step of the first treatment material arranged in the middle of the bed layer of the first hydrotreatment reactor, the effective distribution of the first hydrotreatment material strand can be realized without special operation, and then the obtained material is subjected to a hydrogenation combination process, so that a high-quality target product can be produced. At the same time, it is technically easy to extract the reactant stream in the middle of the reactor bed. In the prior art, LCO is usually directly mixed with wax oil raw oil and then enters a hydrotreating reactor to directly produce catalytic cracking raw material.
2. According to the invention, the first hydrotreating material flow extracting device is arranged in the middle of the catalyst bed layer of the first hydrotreating reactor, the first hydrotreating material flow of the wax oil raw material after the first hydrotreating is extracted out of the reactor, and the first hydrotreating material flow and the LCO are mixed and sent to the second hydrotreating reactor which is arranged independently for hydrogenation reaction, and because the impurities such as sulfur, nitrogen and the like in a part of the wax oil raw material are removed by hydrogenation, the difficulty of further hydrogenation is reduced, so that the reaction condition can be controlled to control the hydrogenation depth of the LCO, namely the hydrogenation saturation depth of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in the LCO, and the hydrogenation is controlled to hydrogenate the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon to the monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon as far as possible, so that the reaction difficulty is reduced or the aromatic hydrocarbon content in the catalytic cracking gasoline is improved when the hydrogenated LCO is subjected to catalytic cracking again, and the octane number of the gasoline is improved.
3. In the invention, the extracted material flow obtained in the middle of the hydrogenation pretreatment catalyst bed layer of the first hydrotreatment reactor has very high temperature and pressure, and can directly enter a second hydrotreatment reactor newly arranged for reaction after being mixed with LCO, thereby fully utilizing the heat carried by the part of the hydrotreatment material and realizing the coupling operation of the first hydrotreatment reactor and the second hydrotreatment reactor.
4. In the invention, the operating pressure of the first hydrotreating reaction system is the same as that of the second hydrotreating reaction system, so that the high-pressure hydrogen-rich gas in the two systems can use one set of hydrogen desulfurization system and one set of hydrogen circulation system, and if the two systems share one set of separation and fractionation (or stripping) system, the equipment investment and the operating cost can be greatly saved.
