Abstract

Vapor and liquid flows concurrently through a vertical vessel in a catalytic reactor (1). A horizontal flow obstructing mixing box (8) is located within the vessel and forces the vapor and liquid to pass in a vertical direction through one or more entrances to the horizontal mixing box. The mixing box consists of circular top (13) and bottom (14) walls and a cylindrical side wall (15). Inside the mixing box vertical flow baffles (18, 19, 20) are provided. These flow baffles form one or more mixing orifices (21, 22). The entire process stream is flowing through each mixing orifice at high flow velocity. Each mixing orifice is followed by a tee where the process stream is divided into two tower velocity streams. In the transition from high flow velocity in the mixing orifice to lower flow velocity in the divided streams, turbulent flow conditions are generated. In the lower velocity divided streams hold-up time is provided to allow for heat and mass transfer. The flow inside the mixing box is mainly in the horizontal plane. The outlet stream from the mixer equilibrated regarding temperature and chemical composition.

The blender performance is discussed in the background technology
Pressure drop is the combined drive power in all mixer design of mentioning.But for example in hydrotreatment and hydrocracking unit operations, the pressure drop meeting that increases blender causes cost to increase.As: the initial cost of recycle gas compressor increases, and the required additional shaft power of recycle gas compressor increases running cost.In the two-phase blender, can realize that the standard of evenly mixing and formation balance outlet mixture is as follows in given blender pressure drop:
A) blender need have flow restriction district or high flow rate mixing mouth.High flow rate can make liquid dispersion enter in the steam, perhaps makes steam disperse to enter in the liquid.Dispersion flows has increased interfacial area and has helped conducting heat and mass transfer.High flow rate has also increased the degree of turbulent flow, and turbulent flow also produces good mixing in addition.High flow rate further produces higher mass transfer and heat transfer coefficient, helps heat transfer and mass transfer between the liquid and gas.
B) all process-stream compiles and is mixing a mouthful contact.Owing to can't contact between the concurrent flow, and can not realize the temperature and the Compositional balance of concurrent flow thus, the parallel channels that therefore passes blender is unsuitable.
C) blender has low flow velocity zone in a mixing mouthful downstream, makes steam and liquid keep certain time of staying, creates turbulent-flow conditions for changing from high flow rate to low flow velocity.Heat transfer and mass transfer need the time of staying.Mix mutually and need turbulent-flow conditions.
D), must reach the reasonable distribution and the diffusion of the fluid that passes reactor cross section at the mixer outlet place.Even blender below is provided with the distribution column plate, still need distribute at the mixer outlet place, with excessive gradient of liquid level on the column plate that prevents to distribute along the particular fluid of reactor cross section.As, all liquid is just inapplicable in the mixer design that reactor one effluent goes out.
In addition, the height of whole blender is also very important.Blender is compact as much as possible to reduce the height requirement of reactor/vessel.In hydrotreatment or hydrocracking reactor, the space that blender occupies can not be had active catalyst utilization.For reactant being changed into the expection product, need the total measurement (volume) of given catalyst.So the space that blender occupies has increased the size of required reactor/highly.Hydrocracking reactor is designed to have the high partial pressures of hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide simultaneously in 200 crust and 450 ℃ of operations.Reactor is usually designed to the internal diameter that has up to 5 meters.Based on the strict design condition, hydrocracking reactor will have a very thick shell, and this shell is usually by the 1.0 molybdenum steel manufacturings of 2.25 chromium and have the austenite stainless steel lining, as 347SS.The cost of every meter reactor straight flange is up to megabuck (2002).Therefore, if adopt compacter mixer design, there is bigger potential saving space.
First kind of blender has the turbine mixer of charging chute, is the mixer design that the most generally adopts during present industrial hydrotreatment and hydrocracking are used.The major part of blender pressure drop is used for the charging chute.But these grooves show as parallel flow channels.Therefore do not arrive the requirement of standard B.In addition, owing to irregular collection column plate or other fabrication tolerance reason, the steam of each inlet channel and liquid distribution situation may be relatively poor.Most of liquid is by some grooves, and most of steam is then by other grooves.In this case, steam just can not contact in the charging chute effectively with liquid.The time of staying of fluid in donought can't make fluid carry out the whole process rotation of one 360 degree usually, and therefore the fluid that flows out from different slots, different reactor side can't thoroughly mix forever.Flow velocity in the charging chute is too high usually, and can't resemble the fluid separation applications that makes the initial requirement in the donought.All process-stream contacts in the centre bore of blender, and fluid immediately distributes along reactor cross section then.The unqualified volume in centre bore downstream is used to produce the time of mass transfer and heat transfer.So standard C does not satisfy yet.First kind of blender is the blender of relative compact.
Second kind of blender has radially/the whirlpool performance chamber mixer of horizontal inlet flow, and the major part of pressure drop is being born in the import of vortex chamber.These imports show as parallel flow channels.Therefore can't reach the requirement of standard B.The same with first kind of blender, all process-stream contacts at centre bore.But afterwards, fluid all distributes along reactor cross section immediately.The unqualified volume in centre bore downstream is used to produce the time of mass transfer and heat transfer.So standard C does not satisfy yet.
With first kind the same with second kind of blender, the third blender, bubble-cap blender do not reach the requirement of standard B and C yet.
In the 4th kind of blender, the independent blender that mixes of steam and liquid, the blender pressure drop partly is used for premixer, the steam and the liquid that are used for the premixed separation and also flow.Each single-phase premixer itself also comprises the concurrent flow passage, as parallel feed chute or blade.Therefore this kind blender does not satisfy the requirement of standard B yet.In the European patent 716,881, just there is not two-phase to mix mouth, so do not satisfy the requirement of standard A at all yet.
The 5th kind, the plate washer performance chamber mixer of perpendicular flow, United States Patent (USP) 4,223,269 disclose the fabulous design of mixed performance and can satisfy the requirement of aforementioned A to all standards of D., the height of the 5th kind of blender is too high, has occupied a lot of volumes of reactor/vessel.
The 6th kind of blender, the plate washer performance chamber mixer of bottom horizontal flow sheet, United States Patent (USP) 3,705,016 and 3,977,834 disclose the mixer design that has a plurality of parallel flow channels, do not satisfy the requirement of standard B.Because all process-stream can't mix contact in the mouth at one, United States Patent (USP) 3,977,834 do not reach the requirement of standard A yet.In addition, because liquid flows out blender with inhomogeneous pattern, United States Patent (USP) 3,705,016 does not satisfy the requirement of standard D.For the 6th kind of blender, United States Patent (USP) 5,690,896 disclose a reasonably blender preferably.But this blender does not satisfy the requirement of standard C.After a whole process-stream was introduced the mixing mouth together, the downstream of mixing mouth did not have enough time of staying to be used for mass transfer and heat transfer.Because fluid only enters centre gangway from a side, does not also satisfy the requirement of standard D.The fluid skewness at final mixer outlet place.

The specific embodiment
The reaction that takes place in the hydroprocessing reactor is heat release.Therefore, under the pressurized conditions of heating, when reactant changes into product in the presence of the hydroprocessing catalyst, can emit heat in the course of reaction and elevate the temperature.
In industrial hydroprocessing reactor, the two-phase mixture of reactant flows by the solid catalyst particle bed.The ideal flow mode is a plug flow in this reactor, and promptly liquid flows downward with same flow velocity (based on empty reactor) have a few of reactor cross section.Under the resonable plug flow situation that would like to live, vapor phase also is same: steam flows downward with same flow velocity (based on empty reactor) have a few of reactor cross section.
In industrial reactor, because sedimental existence in the space of nonideal distribution column plate, the filling of uneven catalyst and/or catalyst particles intergranular, plug flow is in the cards never.Therefore, in some zones of beds, flow rate of liquid will be higher than mean flow rate, and steam flow rate will be lower than mean flow rate.Because the thermal capacitance height of the heat capacity ratio steam of liquid, in these zones the temperature rise of every meter flow channel lower, temperature rise in ℃.Equally, in other zone of beds, the flow velocity of liquid is lower than mean flow rate, and the flow velocity of steam is higher than mean flow rate.Because the thermal capacitance height of the heat capacity ratio steam of liquid, in these zones the temperature rise of every meter flow channel higher, temperature rise in ℃.
So even reactant mixture is identical in the temperature at reactor inlet place, but when fluid flow through beds, some zone of beds was hotter than other zones.And owing to reaction rate is that rising along with temperature increases, understand the carrying out of accelerated reaction like this: the thermal region reaction rate of beds is higher, so these thermal regions will be emitted more heat than cool region.
Because the reaction rate of beds thermal region and cool region is different, makes the chemical composition of fluid also inequality.
Temperature on a horizontal plane and chemical composition are inhomogeneous can to produce several negative effects:
All hydroprocessing catalyst can inactivation in operating process.Reduce in order to remedy catalyst activity, in running, will improve the mean temperature of bed.At certain time point, during end of run, the maximum temperature of beds reaches maximum permissible value.At this moment, the whole operation unit needs to stop, and catalyst need regenerate or replace.If the non-uniform temperature on the horizontal plane so will be in early stage and out of service than the harmonic(-)mean bed temperature time.Because the high-frequency that non-uniform temperature causes is stopped and is being caused producer's cost's raising aspect production loss, catalyst consumption and the additional labour.
Inhomogeneous another influence that causes is that the chemical conversion degree is inhomogeneous.Part reaction-ure conversion-age is higher, and remaining reaction-ure conversion-age is lower.The result can reduce the overall product quality.First example is the diesel engine hydrotreating reactor, and hydrocarbon component and hydrogen with sulfur-bearing in this reactor change into hydrocarbon component and the H that does not conform to sulphur 2S.If non-uniform temperature, a part of feed oil is reacted under higher temperature, because aforesaid flow rate of liquid is lower, also can react under lower air speed.Another part feed oil is reacted at a lower temperature, because flow rate of liquid is higher, also can react under higher space velocity.Organic sulfur often passes through beds from the zone bypass of low temperature high-speed as a result.This bypass by serious increase the content of organic sulfur in all over products.In order to meet product specification aspect the organic sulfur content, the producer need reduce feed rate, or the operating temperature that improves reactor inhomogeneous with compensation temperature and composition.Reduce feed rate and aspect product loss, can increase cost.Improve temperature of reactor and can cause energy consumption to increase, the regeneration/replacing of catalyst increases the parking frequency, has reduced service cycle.The increase of parking frequency increases aforesaid cost.
Second example is hydrocracking reactor, in this reactor heavy hydrocarbon component and hydrogen changed into light hydrocarbon component.If non-uniform temperature, so a part of feed oil is at high temperature reacted, because flow rate of liquid is lower, also can react under low-speed.Another part feed oil is reacted at low temperatures, because flow rate of liquid is higher, also can react under high-speed.The result causes the heavy feed oil overcracking of a part, makes unwanted C 1-C 4Gaseous product and light naphthar component seriously increase, and the conversion ratio of the heavy feed oil of another part is very low.Thereby reduced the selectivity of hydrocracking unit, also reduced the total conversion that heavy feed component is converted into the light product component expected product.Two kinds of influences have all increased the producer's cost.
In industrial hydroprocessing reactor, temperature in the beds horizontal plane and chemical composition are inhomogeneous to be unavoidable.But suitable reactor internal components is installed makes this inhomogeneous minimum that reaches.
For first beds, charging/reactant enters at first thus, need provide a good import distributor evenly to distribute on reactor cross section to guarantee liquid and steam.The fluid that enters distributor need suitably mix to guarantee component balanced and thermal balance in the upstream of distributor.Well-mixed fluid is provided in reactant usually in the pipeline of reactor.
For any beds subsequently, need good import distributor on reactor cross section, evenly to distribute too to guarantee liquid and steam.Yet the import of beds subsequently stream promptly is the outlet stream of upstream catalyst bed, and the outlet temperature and the chemical composition of this upstream catalyst bed are inhomogeneous.Therefore be necessary between upstream catalyst bed and distributor, to be provided with a mixing arrangement.Otherwise the inhomogeneous of this temperature and chemical composition will be passed to next bed from a bed, becomes more serious.The purpose that mixing arrangement is set obtains temperature exactly and forms outlet stream uniformly.
Usually, a kind of cooling fluid lower than inside reactor fluid temperature (F.T.) is injected between the beds of two vicinities in the hydroprocessing reactor, before this fluid enters next bed, makes the fluid cooling of flowing out from a beds.Can make reactor operation near isothermy like this, it has many-sided effect aspect product quality increasing service cycle and improve.In this case, this mixing arrangement further purpose is that the cool stream thigh is mixed with the effluent that flows out from a beds, so that the stream thigh reached thermal balance and component balanced before entering next beds.
Referring now to accompanying drawing, Fig. 1 represents to have the schematic diagram of the typical hydroprocessing reactor of two catalyst granules beds 2 and 3.Fig. 1 has represented the exemplary position of mixing arrangement with respect to beds and other reactor internal components.Reactant enters reactor by inlet nozzle 4.Fluid enters the distribution column plate 5 at top, and before fluid entered beds 2, distribution column plate 5 can make steam and liquid evenly distribute on reactor cross section.Beds 2 is actionless on a web plate or catalyst supports screen 6.Because the weight of catalyst is big and fluid flows through the caused power of beds, catalyst web plate or screen 6 will bear bigger power usually.Therefore need brace summer 7 to bear these power usually.Below catalyst carrier system 6 and 7, be provided with mixing arrangement 8.Cooling fluid can add by a cooling pipe orifice 9.Below blender, a percussion mechanism 10 is set, liquid and make the high flow rate of the injection stream that flows out from mixing arrangement retarded is used for distributing.Below blender, also be provided with the second distribution column plate 11, before fluid entered next beds 3, this distribution column plate 11 can make steam and liquid evenly distribute on the cross section of reactor.Product in the reactor leaves by outlet nozzle 12.
Can use two above beds.The quantity of mixing arrangement 8 is generally N-1, and wherein N is the quantity of catalyst reactor bed.
Fig. 2-Figure 9 shows that alternative structure of mixing arrangement of the present invention.These figure have only showed the feature of the present invention and alternatives.These figure do not limit the scope of thought disclosed herein, are as the work accompanying drawing at this.These figure should not be considered as the restriction to the inventive concept scope.Relative dimensions shown in the drawings should not be considered as with the specific embodiment of industry equal or proportional.
Fig. 2 is axle cutaway views such as the perspective of blending bin 8, and this blending bin 8 is made up of a circular top 13, a rounded bottom dish 14 and a cylindrical side wall 15.This cylindrical side wall 15 can be the part of reactor wall, also can be an independent wall littler than reactor diameter.The diameter of cylindrical wall 15 preferably approaches the diameter of reactor, so that the height of blender reaches minimum.The opening 16 in top disc 13, this blending bin forms the flow obstacle of a basic sealing in reactor 1.Under the situation of diameter less than the internal diameter of reactor of this cylindrical wall, a column plate or other device need be set to guarantee between the inwall of blending bin 8 and reactor 1, realizing basic sealing.
Cooling fluid is injected in the blending bin 8 by a perforation cooling distributor 17.In blending bin, be provided with the plate washer 18,19 and 20 that flows and formed a series of mixing openings 21 and 22 that are used for high flow rate and mixed flow, also formed a series of flow openings 23 and 24 that are used for low flow velocity and diverted flow.Except opening 21,22 and 24, these mobile plate washers have formed a basic sealing device, force fluid to flow out from these openings like this.Base plate 14 is provided with the round exit hole 25 concentric with reactor center line.。This circular open also is that last mixes mouth as the 3rd in the blender.

Fluid is flowing shown in arrow among Fig. 3 A, 3B and the 3C in the device.In the operating process, the steam and the liquid that flow out from beds 2 pass through passage 16, flow in the blending bin.Cooling fluid adds through distributor 17.This moment, all process-stream flow through mixing mouth 21, was mixing mouthful 21 places, and fluid is that high flow rate flows, and liquid is dispersed in the steam.Afterwards, this logistics is divided into two low flow velocity logistics by mobile plate washer 19.Two logistics flow to the next mouth 22 that mixes in the passage 23 of two symmetries, be mixed into the high flow rate logistics once more in mixing mouthful two logistics in 22 places.After mixing mouth 22, logistics is divided into two low flow velocity logistics by mobile plate washer 20 again, and this moment, two logistics flow to centre bore 25 by the passage 24 of two symmetries, and logistics also is that last mixing mouthful place is mixed into the high flow rate logistics once more at this in the 3rd.Last shock plate 26 can guarantee that the fluid outward radial flows out blender.This shock plate can prevent that blender from directly delivering to the injection stream of high flow rate on the distributing disc 11.Liquid level on this injection stream meeting interference profile column plate is taken away liquid.In addition, before fluid entered distribution column plate 11, shock plate 26 can make liquid evenly distribute on reactor cross-section.
Because the high flow rate of blending bin inner fluid is compared with the viscous force between the liquid and vapor capacity, gravity can be ignored.Therefore, even blending bin 8 approaches level, any tangible PHASE SEPARATION can not take place in the blending bin yet.
Mobile plate washer in the blending bin can have a lot of different shapes.It can be straight, crooked, angle or the like.Plate washer also needn't be strict vertical, as long as there is vertical part just enough.Intake channel 16 also can have different shapes with exit passageway 25, part as shown in Figures 2 and 3, ellipse, circle, rectangle, triangle or the like.The quantity of intake channel and exit passageway is respectively more than one and one.The cross section of blending bin itself can be Any shape.For the blender shown in Fig. 2,3A, 3B and 3C, it can be circle, also can be triangle, rectangle or polygon.Be preferably circle or polygon, this be since this moment blender cross-sectional area approach the cross-sectional area of container.
