For a hydro-upgrading pour point depressing catalyst containing a molecular sieve, nitrogen poisoning is a key factor influencing the activity of the hydro-upgrading pour point depressing catalyst, for example, in the existing operation process, along with the extension of the operation time or the change of the operation mode, the hydro-upgrading pour point depressing catalyst is not enough in protection strength, can be poisoned by nitrides, causes the poisoning of the catalyst, generally needs to lose the use activity of the catalyst, influences the pour point depressing depth of products, has certain operation risks, causes higher reaction temperature compensation, increases the gas generation rate, changes the product distribution and seriously influences the operation period. If the reaction temperature is forcibly increased rapidly, the excessively violent reaction may cause permanent deterioration of the catalyst activity, resulting in a great reduction in the catalyst life. The recovery mode of sectional analysis is adopted, so that not only is violent reaction avoided, but also the effect of gradual release of activity can be achieved. The increase of the catalyst activity means a lower reaction temperature, the reduction of energy consumption, the reduction of gas making rate, the improvement of liquid yield, the improvement of selectivity, better product quality, the prolongation of period and other advantages. The invention aims to solve the problem that the modified pour point depressing catalyst is poisoned in the existing production during long-term low-temperature operation, the production process of the hydrogenation modified catalyst breaks through the inherent limitation, the advanced method of firstly raising the temperature excessively and resolving the concept of 'leading' reactivation by stages, then lowering the temperature for production and optimizing the process parameters is introduced, the diesel raw material is introduced and the temperature is controlled in the production process, the process of 'reactivation' by stages with low conversion rate of the modified pour point depressing catalyst is set in the temperature raising process, so that on one hand, the toxic nitride in the catalyst can be reasonably removed at a certain temperature, on the other hand, the surface of the catalyst is not easy to generate violent chemical reaction under the lower conversion depth, thereby the carbon deposition inactivation rate is also reduced, simultaneously, the removal speed of the toxic is improved, the catalyst activity is gradually recovered by the stage process, the chemical reaction is fitted to the nitride resolving process according to the requirements of the process, the method has the advantages of improving and innovating the recovery of the activity of the catalyst, fully utilizing the characteristics of physical properties of raw materials to obtain an ideal comprehensive processing effect, improving the activity of the catalyst on the basis of not influencing the operation of the device, optimizing the structure of a product, solving the problems existing in the operation process, greatly saving manpower and material resources, improving the operation flexibility of the hydrogenation modification pour point depressing device, prolonging the operation period and reducing the yield of low value-added products in the production process.
