The invention relates to a residual oil hydrotreating and hydrofining combined process, which comprises the following steps:
a. the method comprises the following steps that firstly, residual oil raw oil passes through an upstream protective agent and a graded hydrotreating catalyst bed layer of a hydrotreating reaction zone under a hydrotreating condition to obtain a first hydrotreating material flow, the part of the material flow is divided into two parts, one part of the material flow is separated through a gas-liquid separator, and the obtained gas phase material flow is pumped out of the hydrotreating reaction zone;
b. mixing the rest part of the hydrotreating material flow and the supplementary hydrogen in the step a, continuously passing through a downstream grading hydrotreating catalyst bed layer of a hydrotreating reaction zone under a hydrotreating condition to obtain a material flow generated in the hydrotreating reaction zone, and separating and fractionating (or stripping) the material flow to obtain a hydrotreating gas product, a hydrotreating naphtha product, hydrotreating diesel oil and a hydrotreating heavy fraction;
c. and b, mixing the gas phase material flow extracted from the hydrotreating reaction zone and LCO, passing through a hydrofining catalyst bed of a hydrofining reactor under the hydrofining condition to obtain a hydrofining reaction zone generated material flow, and separating and fractionating (or stripping) the obtained hydrofining reaction zone generated material flow to obtain a hydrofining gas product, a hydrofining naphtha product and hydrofining diesel.
According to the combined process of residual oil hydrotreating and hydrofining, the generated material flow of the hydrotreating reaction zone obtained in the step b and the generated material flow of the hydrofining reaction zone obtained in the step c are mixed and then are separated and fractionated (or stripped), so that a hydrogenated gas product, a hydrogenated naphtha product and hydrogenated diesel oil are obtained.

And c, recycling the high-pressure hydrogen-rich gas obtained in the step b and the step c.
The requirements of product quality, environmental protection, process condition operation and the like all limit the properties of raw oil of a catalytic cracking unit, particularly the sulfur content, and the distribution and the properties of catalytic cracking products are greatly different due to different raw oil compositions; the research shows that: the influence of the aromatic hydrogenation saturation depth of LCO on the quality of catalytic cracking gasoline products is larger, particularly monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in the gasoline is a high-octane component, the octane value of the catalytic cracking gasoline can be increased by increasing the content of the monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in the hydrogenated LCO, and the extracted hydrotreating gas-phase material flow contains hydrogen sulfide and ammonia with certain concentration, the inhibiting effect is equivalent to reducing the activity of the hydrogenation catalyst, and the hydrogenation depth of LCO can be just controlled by adjusting the volume space velocity and the reaction temperature, namely, the bicyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in LCO are hydrogenated to monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon on the premise of meeting the sulfur content, but the naphthenic hydrocarbon is not excessively generated by the deep hydrogenation, or the hydrogenation depth is not enough to generate the bicyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, so that the content of the aromatic hydrocarbon in the catalytic cracking gasoline can be improved when the product after the hydrogenation treatment enters the catalytic cracking device again, and the octane number of the catalytic cracking gasoline is improved.
Compared with the prior art, the combined process of residual oil hydrotreating and hydrofining has the advantages that:
1. in the present invention, the hydrotreating reaction zone includes at least two graded hydrotreating catalyst beds. The method comprises the steps of extracting a part of hydrotreating gas-phase materials by a gas-liquid separator arranged in the middle of a bed layer of a hydrotreating reaction zone, realizing effective distribution of hydrotreating material strands, and then subjecting the obtained materials to a hydrogenation combination process, thereby producing target products with different specifications. In the prior art, hydrofining and hydrotreating technologies generally produce only one desired product of a hydrogenation process according to the present technology.
2. The method comprises the steps of arranging a gas-liquid separator in the middle of a catalyst bed layer of a hydrotreating reaction zone, extracting a hydrogenation pretreatment gas phase material flow of a residual oil raw material subjected to hydrotreating out of the hydrotreating reaction zone, mixing the hydrogenation pretreatment gas phase material flow with LCO, and sending the mixture and the LCO into a hydrofining reactor which is independently arranged for hydrogenation reaction, wherein the extracted gas phase material flow contains hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, so that the hydrodesulfurization reaction of the LCO is not facilitated, but the hydrogenation depth of the LCO can be controlled by adjusting reaction conditions such as volume space velocity, reaction temperature and the like, namely the hydrogenation saturation depth of two-ring aromatic hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the LCO is controlled, the two-ring aromatic hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are hydrogenated to monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as much as possible, the cracking reaction difficulty is reduced or the aromatic hydrocarbon content in catalytic cracking gasoline is increased when the hydrogenated LCO is subjected to catalytic cracking again, and the octane number; for the hydrotreating part, because the extracted gas phase part contains hydrogen sulfide and ammonia produced by hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrogenation reactions of the hydrotreating catalyst bed catalyst, the mixing of the residual material flow after the gas phase extraction and the make-up hydrogen is equivalent to the reduction of the hydrogen sulfide partial pressure and the ammonia partial pressure in the range of the lower hydrotreating catalyst bed, namely the inhibition of the activity center of the subsequent hydrotreating catalyst is reduced, or the activity of the hydrotreating catalyst is improved, and the severity of the hydrotreating operation is reduced.
3. In the invention, the extracted gas-phase material flow obtained in the middle of the hydrotreating catalyst bed in the hydrotreating reaction zone has very high temperature and pressure, and can directly enter a newly-arranged hydrofining reactor for reaction after being mixed with the LCO after heat exchange, thereby fully utilizing the heat carried by the part of the hydrotreating gas-phase material and realizing the coupling operation of the hydrotreating reactor and the hydrofining reactor.
4. In the invention, the operation pressure of the hydrotreating reaction system and the hydrofining reaction system is the same, so that the high-pressure hydrogen-rich gas in the two systems can use a set of hydrogen desulfurization system and a set of hydrogen circulation system, and if the two systems share a set of separation and fractionation (or stripping) system, the equipment investment and the operation cost can be greatly saved.
