Background
The hydrogenation technology is an important processing means for the lightening of heavy oil and the upgrading of the quality of light oil. The hydrocracking technology has the advantages of strong raw oil adaptability, good product flexibility, high liquid product yield, high product quality and the like, and is developed quickly. The existing hydrocracking technology can be divided into three types according to the processing flow: a one-stage series hydrocracking process flow, a single-stage hydrocracking process flow and a two-stage hydrocracking process flow. One-stage series hydrocracking technology uses two types of catalysts, namely a hydrocracking pretreatment catalyst and a hydrocracking catalyst, which are respectively filled in a hydrocracking pretreatment reactor and a hydrocracking reactor, and the catalysts in each reactor are usually filled in layers. The catalytic cracking is one of the important means for the heavy oil conversion, but with the deterioration and the heavy conversion of the catalytic cracking processing raw material, the operation conditions are more and more strict, the light product yield and the product property are poor, and the catalytic cracking raw material hydrotreating technology can not only remove the content of sulfur, nitrogen, metal and other impurities, but also improve the cracking performance of the feeding material, reduce the FCC operation severity, improve the product distribution, improve the selectivity of the target product, reduce the yield of dry gas and coke, improve the economy of an FCC device, reduce the sulfur content of the target product, reduce the SOx and NOx content in the regeneration flue gas and the like. The catalytic cracking Light Cycle Oil (LCO) contains a certain content of sulfur and nitrogen, both of which exist in the form of organic compounds, and has high aromatic hydrocarbon content, especially the content of aromatic hydrocarbons with more than two rings, and the LCO is generally directly circulated back to a catalytic cracking device for continuous conversion, or enters a hydrotreating device for hydrogenation and then enters the catalytic cracking device, or enters other devices for processing or directly serves as a product.
CN101003746A, CN001955260A, CN001955257A, CN103059960A and CN001955263A all disclose a hydrocracking process or a combined process for combined processing of wax oil and catalytic cracking diesel oil. The technology can produce high-quality products, especially high-quality heavy naphtha, as a raw material for catalytic reforming by a hydrocracking method or a combined method by using wax oil and LCO as raw materials, but does not generate a catalytic cracking raw material and does not return to a catalytic cracking unit for conversion again.
CN106701175A, CN102465035A and CN001896192A disclose a process technology for blending LCO in a hydrotreating process, which mainly aims to produce high-quality catalytic cracking raw materials or realize clean production of a catalytic cracking device by a coupling technology for circulating LCO between a hydrotreating device and the catalytic cracking device, but because wax oil, slag oil and the like are directly hydrogenated after being mixed with the LCO, the hydrogenation depth of the LCO cannot be effectively controlled, and high-quality hydrocracking products cannot be produced.
In summary, compared with the existing LCO hydrogenation technology and hydrocracking technology, the LCO is usually blended directly into the catalytic cracking raw material pretreatment device for hydrogenation and then returned to the catalytic cracking device, or the LCO is blended into the hydrocracking raw material oil, and the hydrocracking raw material oil is subjected to hydrogenation pretreatment and then enters the hydrocracking device to produce the hydrocracking naphtha product.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention provides a combined process of hydrofining and hydrocracking, namely, a part of reaction gas phase material flow is extracted from the middle part of a hydrogenation pretreatment reactor using a hydrocracking device, and the wax oil raw oil and the LCO raw oil are subjected to combined hydrogenation pretreatment-hydrocracking and hydrofining process to produce high-quality hydrocracking products and high-quality catalytic cracking raw materials.
The invention relates to a hydrofining and hydrocracking combined process, which comprises the following steps:
a. the method comprises the following steps that firstly, wax oil raw oil passes through a first hydrogenation pretreatment catalyst bed layer of a hydrogenation pretreatment reactor under a hydrogenation pretreatment condition to obtain a first hydrogenation pretreatment material flow, the part of the reaction material flow is divided into two parts, one part of the reaction material flow is separated through a gas-liquid separator, and the obtained gas phase material flow is pumped out of the hydrogenation pretreatment reactor;
b. mixing the rest part of the first hydrogenation pretreatment material flow obtained in the step a with the supplemented hydrogen, continuously passing through a second hydrogenation pretreatment catalyst bed layer of a hydrogenation pretreatment reactor under the hydrogenation pretreatment condition, continuously passing the hydrogenation pretreatment material flow through a hydrocracking catalyst bed layer of a hydrocracking reactor under the hydrocracking condition, and separating and fractionating the hydrocracking product flow to obtain hydrocracking high-pressure hydrogen-rich gas, a hydrocracking gas product, a hydrocracking naphtha product, a hydrocracking aviation kerosene product, a hydrocracking diesel oil product and a hydrocracking tail oil product;
c. and b, mixing the first hydrogenation pretreatment gas phase material flow extracted from the reactor in the step a with LCO, passing through a hydrogenation refining catalyst bed layer of a hydrogenation refining reactor under the hydrogenation treatment condition, and separating and fractionating the hydrogenation refining material flow to obtain hydrogenation treatment high-pressure hydrogen-rich gas, hydrogenation refining naphtha and hydrogenation refining diesel.
The combined hydrofinishing and hydrocracking process according to the present invention may further comprise a step d: and c, mixing the hydrocracking high-pressure hydrogen-rich gas obtained in the step b and the hydrofining high-pressure hydrogen-rich gas obtained in the step c for recycling.
S, N, O and other impurities in the wax oil raw oil are partially removed when passing through the first hydrogenation pretreatment catalyst bed layer, aromatic hydrocarbons are subjected to hydrogenation saturation to a certain extent, part of hydrogenation pretreatment gas-phase materials are extracted, and new hydrogen is supplemented to obtain material flows which continuously pass through the hydrogenation pretreatment catalyst bed layer and the hydrocracking catalyst bed layer to obtain high-quality hydrocracking products, such as hydrocracking light naphtha, hydrocracking heavy naphtha, hydrocracking aviation kerosene, hydrocracking diesel oil, hydrocracking tail oil and the like, and because part of ammonia produced by hydrodenitrogenation is extracted, the inhibition of ammonia on the cracking activity center of the hydrocracking catalyst is reduced, which is equivalent to improving the activity of the hydrocracking catalyst or reducing the scale of hydrocracking operation; the research shows that: the aromatic hydrogenation saturation depth of LCO has great influence on the quality of catalytic cracking gasoline products, 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 hydrogenation pretreatment 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 hydrofining and hydrocracking combined process has the advantages that:
1. in the invention, the hydrogenation pretreatment reactor comprises at least two hydrogenation pretreatment catalyst beds. The method comprises the steps of extracting a part of hydrogenation pretreatment gas-phase materials through a gas-liquid separator arranged in the middle of a hydrogenation pretreatment reactor bed layer, realizing effective distribution of hydrogenation pretreatment material strands, and then enabling the obtained materials to pass through a hydrogenation combination process, thereby producing target products with different specifications. In the prior art, however, hydrofinishing and hydrocracking technologies are generally only capable of producing one desired product of a hydrogenation process according to the present technology.

According to the method, a gas-liquid separator is arranged in the middle of a catalyst bed layer of a hydrogenation pretreatment reactor, a first hydrogenation pretreatment gas phase material flow of a wax oil raw material subjected to hydrogenation pretreatment is extracted out of the hydrogenation pretreatment reactor, and is mixed with LCO and sent into a separately arranged hydrogenation refining reactor for hydrogenation reaction, the extracted gas phase material flow contains hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, so that the hydrogenation desulfurization reaction of the LCO is not facilitated, but the hydrogenation depth of the LCO is 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 the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are hydrogenated to single-ring aromatic hydrocarbons as much as possible, and thus the 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 of the gasoline is increased; for the hydrocracking part, the gas phase part containing ammonia produced by the hydrodenitrogenation reaction of the first hydrogenation pretreatment catalyst bed catalyst is extracted, so that the inhibition of the ammonia partial pressure on the cracking active center of the subsequent hydrocracking catalyst is correspondingly reduced, which is equivalent to the improvement of the activity of the hydrocracking catalyst or the reduction of the severity of the hydrocracking operation.
3. In the invention, the extracted gas-phase material flow obtained in the middle of the hydrogenation pretreatment catalyst bed layer of the hydrogenation pretreatment reactor 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 pretreated gas-phase material and realizing the coupling operation of the hydrogenation pretreatment reactor and the hydrofining reactor.
4. In the invention, the operating pressure of the hydrocracking reaction system and the hydrorefining 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, the requirement of the hydrorefining reaction can be met by mixing the heat of the extracted gas phase and the LCO after heat exchange by using the hydrogenation pretreatment, and the heat source requirement of the combined process can be met by only using one heating furnace, thereby saving the equipment investment and the operating cost.
