Inferior heavy oil processing method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of heavy oil processing and utilization, in particular to a processing and treating method for inferior heavy oil.
Background
The heavy and inferior crude oil in the world is increasingly serious, and the market demand for light oil products is continuously increased, so that the hydrogenation of residual oil as an effective means for modifying and lightening the residual oil has become one of the development key points of the oil refining industry. The most common residue hydrogenation technologies currently used in industry include fixed bed technology and ebullated bed technology, wherein ebullated bed hydrogenation processes have the following advantages: heavy and poor raw materials with high metal content and high carbon residue value can be processed; the temperature of the reactor is easy to control and uniform, and the pressure drop is low and constant; the catalyst can be added and taken out on line, so that the performance of the catalyst can be kept constant in the whole operation period; higher conversion and longer operating cycle times can be achieved. But the boiling bed hydrogenation process also has obvious defects which are reflected in harsh process operation conditions, low reaction efficiency and poor product quality.
CN201310498832.6 discloses a residual oil hydrogenation method. The method is carried out in a fluidized bed reactor, a three-phase separation zone, a fluidized zone and a circulating zone are sequentially arranged in the fluidized bed reactor from top to bottom, and the residual oil hydrogenation method comprises the following steps: and injecting a first boiling bed hydrogenation catalyst from the upper part of the circulating zone, and injecting a second boiling bed hydrogenation catalyst and a suspended bed hydrogenation catalyst from the upper part of the boiling zone, so that the residual oil and the hydrogen are subjected to hydrogenation reaction in the boiling bed reactor. The suspension bed hydrogenation catalyst is mainly used for converting asphaltene, and is matched with the fluidized bed reactor to achieve the expected effect. The hydrogenation effect is not obvious when processing high-metal, high-nitrogen and high-viscosity residual oil.
CN02109674.0 discloses a cascade boiling bed residual oil hydrogenation method and equipment, wherein a microspherical hydrogenation demetalization, desulfurization and denitrification catalyst combination is used for residual oil hydrogenation reaction in more than two stages of cascade boiling bed reactors, so that the residual oil conversion rate and the product quality can be effectively improved. The cascade boiling bed reactor has several reaction sections with independent catalyst adding and discharging ports, and each section has material feeding distributing plate with float valve structure and triphase separating part comprising flow guide member, flow blocking member, gas-liquid isolating plate and foam breaker. The method uses the combination of microspheric hydrodemetallization, desulfurization and denitrification catalysts to carry out the residual oil hydrogenation reaction, but the combination of a plurality of catalysts has low reaction efficiency.
CN200810228406.X discloses a heavy hydrocarbon multi-stage fluidized bed hydrogenation method. The process comprises the steps that viscous heavy hydrocarbon raw materials and gas-phase material flows discharged by a fluidized bed hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrogenation reactor are mixed and enter a hydrodemetallization reactor, the reacted gas-phase material flows can be used as circulating hydrogen after being cooled and purified, and the liquid-phase material flows after the demetalization reaction and hydrogen are mixed and enter the fluidized bed hydrodesulfurization reactor; mixing the liquid-phase material flow after the desulfurization reaction with hydrogen to enter a hydrodenitrogenation reactor; and (4) feeding the liquid phase material flow after denitrification reaction into a separation device. The process adopts a new reactor combination mode to process the high-viscosity inferior heavy oil raw material, can provide a new flexible, high-efficiency and energy-saving operation mode, organically combines the performance of the raw material with each hydrogenation reaction characteristic, fully utilizes the reaction heat release on the premise of ensuring the stable operation of the device, provides high-quality product quality, and can flexibly adjust the operation process according to the requirements of a refinery. But this process has limited ability to process high metal content feedstocks.
The alkali metal reacts with a part of the heteroatom and/or one or more heavy metals, i.e. the alkali metal desulfurization method, can improve the quality of the raw materials, but the reaction process of the method has low efficiency at present, particularly the utilization rate of the alkali metal is not high, the product contains unreacted alkali metal, and the unreacted alkali metal in the product needs to be further treated subsequently. How to realize the efficient application of the alkali metal desulfurization technology is a difficult problem to be overcome urgently in the field of oil refining.
