Description

Processing method and device for heavy oil lightening-coproduction synthesis gas

Technical Field

The invention relates to a processing method and a device for heavy oil lightening-coproduction synthesis gas, belonging to the technical field of petroleum processing.

Background

With the heavy and inferior crude oil, the yield of inferior heavy oil (heavy oil, super heavy oil, oil sand asphalt, vacuum residue oil, oil slurry, deoiled asphalt, etc.) is increased dramatically. The inferior heavy oil generally has the characteristics of low H/C ratio, high contents of sulfur, nitrogen and heavy metals, large carbon residue value and the like, and the coking tendency of the heavy oil in the processing process is serious due to the carbon residue and asphaltene components enriched inside. Due to the problems of catalyst deactivation, high hydrogen consumption, long-period operation and the like, the direct processing and treatment requirements of a large amount of inferior heavy oil are difficult to meet by directly adopting means such as catalytic cracking or catalytic hydrogenation. The inferior heavy oil is processed by adopting the combination of technologies such as solvent deasphalting, visbreaking, catalytic cracking, hydrotreating and delayed coking, and the like, and compared with a one-step heavy oil processing technology, the method has the advantages of longer overall process flow and higher investment cost.

The delayed coking process is used as an inferior heavy oil processing technology widely applied at present, and has the problems of furnace tube coking, large environmental protection pressure in a decoking process, low liquid yield and the like. In addition, a large amount of solid coke is produced as a byproduct in the delayed coking process, particularly high-sulfur coke has low value, and the latest environment-friendly requirement is to take factory-limiting measures on the high-sulfur coke with the sulfur content of more than 3%. In some domestic refineries, petroleum coke generated by delayed coking is used for a circulating fluidized bed combustion power generation or gasification poly-generation process, so that the conversion and utilization of coke are realized. Heavy oil is firstly converted into low-activity petroleum coke, and then the petroleum coke is converted by cooling, grinding and reheating, but the overall process flow is complex and the efficiency is low.

In addition, because the poor heavy oil raw material has a low H/C atomic ratio, the light oil product can be produced to the maximum extent only through the hydrogenation process, and the quality requirement of clean oil products is met, so that the problem of hydrogen source shortage in the process of processing the poor heavy oil in a refinery is more prominent, and hydrogen generated in the technical processes of catalytic reforming and the like is not enough to meet the hydrogen requirement of clean oil product production. Although the direct gasification of inferior heavy oil can directly convert heavy oil into small molecules such as synthesis gas, the oil gas molecules and hydrogen elements existing in the heavy oil are not fully utilized, and the resource waste of the heavy oil is also caused to a certain extent.

In response to the above problems, many researchers have proposed a corresponding short-flow technical solution for conversion of inferior heavy oil processing. One of the processes developed by Exxon is the flexicoking series using fluidized coke powder as the bed material for heavy oil cracking reaction.

The flexible coking process takes coke powder as a heat carrier for heavy oil cracking reaction, and the generated coke is attached to the surface of the coke powder and is conveyed to a gasification/combustion reactor to be removed, so that the coke materials in the reaction need to be returned among reactors such as coking, combustion, gasification and the like, the difficulty in returning the coke powder materials among a plurality of reactors is increased, and the energy consumption of the cracking reaction is increased.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The invention provides a processing method of heavy oil lightening-coproduction synthesis gas, which adopts a coupling reactor internally provided with a scorching section and a cracking section which are mutually communicated through a material descending system, and a cracking-coke gasification coupling reaction system coupled with a gasification reactor, and comprises the following steps:

heavy oil raw materials enter a cracking section at the lower part of the coupling reactor and contact fluidized coke powder to carry out cracking reaction to generate light oil gas and coke powder particles; the coke powder particles are discharged out of the coupling reactor and conveyed to a coking section at the upper part of the coupling reactor for coking treatment, the coke powder particles which are not completely coked in the coking section are divided into two parts, one part of the coke powder particles returns to the cracking section through the material descending system to participate in cracking of the heavy oil raw material, and the other part of the coke powder particles is conveyed to a gasification reactor to generate gasification reaction so as to generate synthesis gas; part of the synthesis gas from the gasification reactor is introduced into the cracking section through the lower part of the cracking section, rises to the top of the cracking section, is combined with the light oil gas and is led out of the coupling reactor, gas-solid separation treatment is carried out, oil-gas fractionation is carried out on a purified oil-gas product output by the gas-solid separation treatment, and light oil and synthesis gas products are collected; and conveying the incompletely gasified coke powder particles in the gasification reactor back to the cracking section to participate in cracking of the heavy oil raw material, or conveying the incompletely gasified coke powder particles back to the coking section to perform the coking treatment.

The coupling reactor of the invention is an integrated coupling reactor which can simultaneously carry out cracking reaction and scorching treatment, and the cracking section is positioned at the lower part of the scorching section. The burning section on upper portion is through falling the material system and coupling with the schizolysis section of lower part, should fall the material system and not only can make the fine coke granule in the burning section fall into the schizolysis section down, more can realize the effective isolation of schizolysis and two reactions of burning, guarantees independent reaction environment separately, avoids the adhesion and the reunion between the fine coke granule to improve the security and the stability of whole technology.

The material descending system can be a high-temperature-resistant material descending pipe, coke powder particles which are not completely burnt in the coking section can descend to enter the cracking section, a one-way plug valve can be arranged at the lower end of the material descending pipe, and the one-way plug valve can be opened after the coke powder particles entering the material descending pipe reach a certain number, so that one-way transmission of the coke powder particles from the coking section to the cracking section is ensured.

In the method, the heavy oil raw material enters a cracking section through a heavy oil raw material inlet in a coupling reactor, and contacts with fluidized coke powder in the cracking section to perform cracking reaction to generate light oil gas and coke powder particles, wherein the coke powder particles are particles formed by coke aggregation and adhesion on the surface of the coke powder. In order to increase the contact area between the heavy oil raw material and the fluidized coke powder, an atomization device can be arranged at an inlet of the heavy oil raw material to atomize the heavy oil raw material and then contact the heavy oil raw material with the fluidized coke powder to generate cracking reaction.

Coke powder particles with serious coking and larger particle size in the cracking section descend in the cracking section and are output from the coupling reactor, the coke powder particles are lifted to a coking section at the upper part of the cracking section through an external conveying pipeline of the coupling reactor, the coking treatment is carried out in the coking section to generate high-temperature flue gas, the gas-solid separation can be carried out on the high-temperature flue gas, the flue gas after the gas-solid separation is collected to recover heat, and the coke powder particles obtained by the gas-solid separation can return to the coking section; and the coke powder particles which are not fully combusted in the coke burning section can be divided into two parts to enter subsequent different reactions.

Specifically, a part of coke breeze particles which are not fully combusted in the coking section carry heat to descend to the cracking section through a material descending system, serve as a reaction bed material and a heat donor for the cracking section and continuously participate in the cracking of the heavy oil raw material; the other part of coke powder particles which are not fully combusted in the coke burning section are driven by air in the coke burning section to carry heat to be input into a gasification reactor outside the coupling reactor, and are subjected to gasification reaction with a gasification agent in the gasification reactor to generate synthesis gas containing active small molecules such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide and the like, and the carried heat can also be used as energy compensation of the gasification reaction.

As the syngas is output from the gasification reactor, a portion of the output syngas may be collected and the remainder of the syngas is input to the cracking section via the coupling reactor externally. The synthesis gas input to the cracking section can provide heat required by cracking reaction, so that the heat of the cracking-gasification reaction zones is utilized in a matching manner, the overall energy efficiency is improved, and on the other hand, the hydrogen in the synthesis gas can inhibit the coking reaction causing the heavy oil cracking reaction to a certain extent, so that the product distribution of the heavy oil cracking is improved, and the quality and the yield of oil gas are improved. And the synthesis gas also fully fluidizes the coke breeze particles in the cracking section.

In addition, the light oil gas in the cracking section can be merged with the synthesis gas, so that in order to avoid the collected light oil gas and the synthesis gas from being carried with coke powder particles, the light oil gas and the synthesis gas can be output from the cracking section to the coupling reactor, gas-solid separation treatment is carried out outside the coupling reactor, purified oil gas products output after the gas-solid separation are collected, and the purified oil gas products are subjected to means such as oil gas fractionation and the like to obtain gas products such as synthesis gas products, dry gas, liquefied gas and the like and light oil, and heavy oil products can also be obtained. Wherein the light oil can be further cut to obtain liquid products with different distillation ranges, and the heavy oil product can be returned to the cracking section for recycling processing; the coke powder particles output after gas-solid separation can be recycled and recycled, for example, the coke powder particles are returned to the cracking section to participate in the cracking reaction again, so that the use efficiency of the coke powder particles is further increased, and the processing cost of heavy oil weight conversion is reduced.

In the gasification reactor, part of coke powder particles which are not completely gasified can be remained, and the part of coke powder particles can return to the cracking section, not only can be used as cracking reaction bed materials to continue participating in the cracking reaction, but also can provide heat for the cracking reaction, so that the energy consumption of the cracking reaction is further reduced; or, the part of the incompletely gasified coke powder particles can also return to the coking section for coking treatment, and it can be understood that when the part of the incompletely gasified coke powder particles enter the coking section, besides the coking treatment, part of the coke powder particles with large particle size also fall into the cracking section through the material reducing system to participate in the cracking reaction.

The invention utilizes the upper coking decomposition-lower cracking coupling reactor to carry out cracking treatment on the heavy oil raw material, provides a more convenient path for the reciprocating cyclic utilization of coke powder particles, not only leads the coke powder particles at the cracking section to be burned in the coking section to directly decompose the heat supply for a heat exchange network, but also leads the incompletely burned coke powder particles to carry heat to respectively return to the cracking section and the gasification reactor to serve as bed materials of cracking reaction and raw materials of gasification reaction; meanwhile, part of the synthesis gas carrying heat in the gasification reactor can also enter the cracking section, so that reaction heat is provided for the cracking reaction, a hydrogen atmosphere is provided for the cracking reaction, and coke formation of the cracking reaction is inhibited, thereby being beneficial to improving the quality and yield of oil gas.

In addition, the coke powder particles which do not participate in the gasification reaction in the gasification reactor can be continuously recycled, and when the coke powder particles which are not completely gasified are driven by the gasification agent in the gasification reactor to return to the cracking section, the coke powder particles can be used as a reaction bed material and a heat supply party to continuously participate in the cracking reaction, so that the overall energy consumption is reduced, and the process flow is simplified; when coke powder particles which are not completely gasified are driven by a gasification agent in the gasification reactor to return to the coking section, the coking treatment can be continuously carried out, and part of coke powder particles in the coking section can also carry heat to downwards enter the cracking section to participate in the cracking reaction.

The invention can form mutual supply and heat complementation of raw materials among cracking, charring and gasification in one system, and realizes the technical advantages of reaction cooperative coupling, oil-gas co-production and the like. The entire coupled reactor can be operated at high pressure, thereby greatly increasing processing capacity and achieving upgrading of high quality syngas to heavy oil cracking processes at high pressure.

And further, before the coke powder particles in the cracking section enter the coke burning section through the outside of the coupling reactor, the coke powder particles in the cracking section descend in the cracking section and are sequentially subjected to steam stripping treatment and particle size refining treatment.

Specifically, a steam stripping section and a particle size refining section can be arranged at the lower part of the cracking section of the coupling reactor and are used for sequentially carrying out steam stripping and particle size refining on coke breeze particles descending from the cracking section. The steam stripping can clear oil gas on the surfaces of descending coke powder particles, and the particle size refinement can cut and refine the particle size of the coke powder particles subjected to steam stripping, so that the coke powder particles are prevented from being bonded and agglomerated. Generally, the particle size of the coke powder particles after steam stripping is 10-500 μm. After the coke powder particles are subjected to steam stripping treatment and particle size refining treatment in sequence, the coke powder particles are output from the coupling reactor and lifted into a coking section for coking treatment.

In particular implementations, the steam stripping section may include a multi-layer stripping configuration to remove light oil and gas from the surface of the coke particles by the action of stripping steam entering through a stripping steam inlet. In detail, the multi-layer stripping structure can adopt one or more combinations of herringbone baffles, annular baffles, conical baffles, grid baffles, bulk packing or structured packing and the like.

The particle size refines the section and can include the jet mill, and the jet mill is used for utilizing the vapor that gets into from grinding the vapor entry to carry out crushing and screening to the coke granule after the steam strip section is handled to guarantee that the coke granule that gets into the gasification section can have bigger area of contact with the gasification agent, guarantee that gasification reaction's high efficiency goes on.

It will be appreciated that the steam stripping section is provided with a stripping steam inlet and the particle size refining section is provided with a grinding steam inlet.

In the method, the cracking section is positioned at the lower part of the coking section, so that the coke powder particles in the cracking section can be efficiently returned to the coking section, and the coke powder particles at the bottom of the cracking section can be lifted to the coking section through an external conveying pipeline outside the coupling reactor in a lifting gas driving mode. Wherein the gas velocity of the lifting gas is 0.2-3.0 m/s.

Further, before the gas-solid separation treatment is carried out on the combined material flow of the light oil gas and the synthesis gas, the combined material flow can be subjected to cooling washing treatment, so that the combined material flow is subjected to the gas-solid separation treatment after being treated by the low-temperature liquid medium. The cooling washing treatment can clear away some fine coke particles in the combined material flow on the one hand, and the fine coke particles that make clear away fall back to the schizolysis section and continue to act as the schizolysis carrier, and on the other hand can cool down combined material flow, avoids light oil gas wherein to continue to produce coke with high temperature state in gas-solid separation processing to further improve the quality of light oil, also avoided producing coke too much and caused the jam to gas-solid separation system.

In particular, the reduced temperature washing may be performed in a reduced temperature washing section. The cooling washing section can adopt a built-in filler type structure to strengthen the contact between the mixed material flow and the low-temperature liquid, and can also adopt a tower plate type structure to strengthen the contact between the mixed material flow and the low-temperature liquid.

The built-in packing structure can comprise loose packing such as Raschig rings, pall rings, step rings, arc saddle packing, intalox saddle packing, metal ring intalox saddle, spherical packing and the like, or a combination of more than one of regular packing such as grid packing, corrugated packing, pulse packing and the like.

The tower plate structure comprises one or more of bubble cap tower plate, sieve pore tower plate, floating valve tower plate, jet tower plate and flow-through tower plate.

The cryogenic liquid may be a heavy oil feedstock. In the actual operation process, the heavy oil raw material enters the cracking section in two paths, one path of heavy oil raw material directly contacts with the coke powder to perform cracking reaction, the other path of heavy oil raw material is used as low-temperature liquid and firstly passes through the washing section to perform heat exchange, and then goes downwards to perform cracking reaction with the coke powder, so that the energy consumption required by the cracking reaction is effectively reduced. In the present invention, the heavy oil feedstock as the low-temperature liquid is 5 to 10% by mass of the total mass of the heavy oil feedstock.

Meanwhile, in order to improve the utilization rate of the coke powder particles, the coke powder particles in the cracking section can enter the coking section after being subjected to bulk separation, so that the coke powder particles can be uniformly distributed in the coking section, and the efficiency of coking treatment is improved.

The invention also limits the process parameters in the coupling reactor as follows, thereby further realizing the matching of material flow and energy flow in the heavy oil processing process, ensuring the stability in the whole heavy oil processing process and improving the overall energy efficiency.

The cracking reaction conditions are as follows: the reaction temperature is 450 ℃ and 700 ℃, the reaction pressure is 0.1-6.0Mpa, the reaction time is 1-20s, the apparent gas velocity is 1-20m/s, and the agent-oil ratio is 4-20. In general, heavy oil is preheated to the temperature of 220 ℃ and 300 ℃ and then enters a cracking section for reaction. Wherein the superficial gas velocity refers to the superficial gas velocity of the synthesis gas and the collection of fluidizing gas for fluidizing the coke powder particles, and the reaction time is the residence time of the coke powder particles in the cracking zone.

The conditions of the scorch treatment were: the scorching temperature is 600-. This reaction condition can guarantee that coking treatment goes on smoothly to can carry out rational distribution to the fine coke granule that gets into in the coker, make partial fine coke granule can not take place complete combustion and can get into gasification reactor and pyrolysis section, thereby help going on of gasification reaction and pyrolysis, guarantee the stability of whole flow. Wherein, the air velocity refers to the air velocity of the air entering the coking device and participating in the coke burning treatment.

The gasification reaction conditions are as follows: the reaction temperature is 850 ℃ and 1200 ℃, the reaction pressure is 0.1-6.0Mpa, the apparent gas velocity is 0.1-5.0m/s, and the retention time of coke powder particles is 1-20 min. The reaction conditions can ensure the smooth proceeding of the gasification reaction, and are favorable for reasonably distributing coke powder particles in the gasification reactor, thereby ensuring the stability of the whole process. Wherein the superficial gas velocity refers to the superficial gas velocity of the combination of the gasifying agent and the fluidizing gas for fluidizing the coke powder particles, and the residence time of the coke powder particles refers to the residence time of the coke powder particles in the gasification reactor.

The gasification agent can be introduced into the gasification reactor from the outside of the coupling reactor, and specifically, the gasification agent can be one or more of oxygen, water vapor, oxygen-enriched air and air.

Further, in the steam stripping treatment, the mass ratio of the steam to the heavy oil is 0.1-0.3, the temperature of the steam is 200-400 ℃, and the superficial gas velocity of the steam is 0.5-5.0 m/s.

The Conradson carbon residue value of the heavy oil raw material is more than or equal to 8 percent, and the Conradson carbon residue raw material can be a mixture of one or more of heavy oil, super heavy oil, oil sand asphalt, normal pressure heavy oil, vacuum residual oil, catalytic cracking oil slurry and solvent deoiling asphalt in any proportion, and can also be a mixture of one or more of heavy tar and residual oil in the coal pyrolysis or liquefaction process, heavy oil generated by dry distillation of oil shale, low-temperature pyrolysis liquid products in biomass and other derived heavy oils in any proportion.

The processing method for heavy oil lightening-co-production synthesis gas by using the device provided by the embodiment is briefly described as follows:

the fully preheated heavy oil raw material is input into the cracking section 3 of the coupling reactor 100 through a heavy oil raw material inlet, the heavy oil raw material is atomized by an atomization device and then directly contacts with fluidized coke powder (including coke powder particles with coke attached to the outside) to generate cracking reaction, light oil gas and coke are respectively obtained, and the coke can be attached to the surface of the coke powder to form coke powder particles.

Coke powder particles with serious coking and larger particle size can descend under the action of gravity, and in the descending process, light oil gas remained on the surfaces of the coke powder particles is removed through a steam stripping section 5, and then the coke powder particles are cut and refined through a particle size refining section. Finally, the coke powder particles enter an external conveying pipeline 4 from a to-be-burnt particle outlet of the cracking section 3, and move upwards through a to-be-burnt particle inlet under the action of the lifting gas to enter the burning section 2.

In the coking section 2, the coke powder particles and air introduced into the coking section through a coking gas inlet are combusted at high temperature to generate flue gas, the flue gas enters a flue gas-solid separator 71 in a flue gas-solid separation section 7 for gas-solid separation, purified flue gas output by the flue gas-solid separator 71 is output from a purified flue gas outlet, and can enter a subsequent heat exchange network for flue gas waste heat recovery after being output through a flue gas outlet of the coking section 2, and the coke powder particles output by the flue gas-solid separator 71 are output from a flue gas coke powder particle outlet and enter the coking section 2; and the coke powder particles which are not completely combusted in the coke burning section 2 respectively enter the cracking section 1 and the gasification reactor 200 outside the coupling reactor 100, wherein the coke powder particles entering the cracking section 1 are primary coke powder particles A, and the coke powder particles entering the gasification reactor 200 are secondary coke powder particles B.

The coke powder particles which are not completely combusted in the coking section 2 enter the cracking section 3 through the material descending system 1 to form first-grade coke powder particles A, the first-grade coke powder particles A can be used as reaction bed materials and continue to contact with heavy oil raw materials to generate cracking reaction, heat carried by the first-grade coke powder particles A can also provide heat for the cracking reaction, and the energy consumption of the cracking reaction is reduced.

The coke powder particles which are not completely combusted in the coking section 2 are output from the coupling reactor 100 through an unfired coke particle outlet and enter the gasification reactor 200 through a particle inlet to be gasified to form secondary coke powder particles B, the secondary coke powder particles B can be used as reaction raw materials and generate synthesis gas through gasification reaction with a gasification agent in the gasification reactor 200, and heat carried by the secondary coke powder particles B can also provide heat for the gasification reaction, so that the energy consumption of the gasification reaction is reduced. As the synthesis gas is generated, the synthesis gas is output from the synthesis gas outlet of the gasification reactor 200, a part of the synthesis gas (synthesis gas a1) is collected for standby, and a part of the synthesis gas (synthesis gas a2) enters the cracking section 3 through the synthesis gas inlet, so as to provide reaction heat and reaction atmosphere for the cracking reaction of the heavy oil raw material.

And the synthesis gas a2 can be mixed with light oil gas, then the mixture is cooled and washed by a cooling and washing section 6, and then the mixture is output from an oil gas outlet to a coupling reactor 100, and enters a gas-solid separator 300 from a gas-solid separation inlet to be subjected to gas-solid separation treatment, and the obtained purified oil gas product can further pass through a gas-liquid fractionating tower, an oil gas absorption stabilizing tower and other systems to respectively obtain gas products such as synthesis gas, dry gas, liquefied gas and the like and light oil products. Of course, the oil product can be further cut and separated to obtain liquid products with different distillation range components, wherein heavy oil (possibly including part of contact agent solid particles) can be mixed with heavy oil raw materials for recycling processing; the coke powder particles obtained by the gas-solid separation treatment can be output from a gas-solid separation solid phase outlet and return to the cracking section 3 through a particle return inlet.

And part of the incompletely gasified coke powder particles are also arranged in the gasification reactor 200, the part of the incompletely gasified coke powder particles are output from the gasification reactor 200 through an unvaporized particle outlet and return to the inlet through the unvaporized particles to enter the coke burning section 2, and reaction raw materials and certain heat are provided for coke burning treatment.

In order to verify the effect of the invention, the device and the process flow shown in fig. 1 are adopted to respectively test the Liaohe normal pressure heavy oil and the Liaohe reduced pressure heavy oil.

Table 1 shows the properties of the heavy oil feedstock. Table 2 shows specific reaction parameters, and compared with the conventional heavy oil cracking process, the method of this embodiment can improve the yield of light oil, improve the yield of liquid, significantly reduce the yields of dry gas and coke, and show detailed product distribution in tables 3 and 4.

TABLE 1

As can be seen from Table 1: the density and carbon residue value of the two heavy oil raw materials are both high, and particularly, the carbon residue value of the Liaohe vacuum residue is more than 20%. In addition, the high asphaltene content and the high heavy component content of greater than 500 ℃ in the heavy oil feedstock means that the heavy oil feedstock has a severe propensity to coke during cracking.

2. with the deterioration of heavy oil raw materials, the yields of gas and coke obtained by cracking are gradually increased, and the yield of liquid is gradually decreased. The coke yield to carbon residue ratio is about 0.8 to 0.9, much less than the coke/carbon residue ratio of 1.4 to 1.6 in delayed coking, compared to the initial carbon residue value of the feedstock. The liquid mass yield is maintained between 70 and 80% with the change of the properties of the heavy oil raw material, wherein the heavy oil fraction with the temperature of more than 500 ℃ is contained, and the heavy oil fraction can be processed by a recycling mode.
