Technical field
The present invention relates to prepare continuously the method for two or more base oil fractions and middle runnings.
Background technology
WO-A-0250213 has described a kind of method that wherein prepares different base oil fractions with so-called " modularization " pattern.Bottom fraction with the fuel method for hydrogen cracking is separated into various base oil precursor fractions in the method, and this method also obtains middle runnings as product thus.Use platinum-ZSM-5 catalyst based subsequently with the catalytic dewaxing in succession of these fractions.
WO-A-9718278 discloses a kind of wherein by the initial preparation of bottom fraction of the fuels hydrocracker method of 4 kinds of base oil fractions such as 60N, 100N and 150N at the most.In the method, the bottom fraction is fractionated into 5 kinds of fractions by vacuum distilling, and wherein 4 kinds of heavier fractions of fraction further are processed into different base oil fractions by at first carrying out catalytic dewaxing hydrofining step subsequently.
WO-A-02/50213 discloses so-called " modularization " method that a kind of bottom fraction by the fuel method for hydrogen cracking prepares different base oil fractions.
A shortcoming of above method is that process is discontinuous.In other words, the base oil fraction is not to make simultaneously but in turn make.When hydrocracker bottom fraction by fractionation and when waiting for by catalytic dewaxing, resulting intermediates need basin.Another shortcoming is the corrosion that device heating and the conversion of device refrigerative pattern can cause device.This pattern conversion also can cause at every turn, and the timesharing of the new level of processing produces middle substandard product.These slop oils need be reprocessed or be disposed, and this is disadvantageous.
EP-A-649896 discloses a kind of by comprising that method that the counterweight petroleum carries out hydrotreating step and hydrocracking step prepares the method for the residual oil that comprises base oil.This hydrotreating step can obtain a kind of product, and can obtain middle runnings and bottom fraction (residual oil) by this product.The base oil fraction that subsequently will this bottom fraction solvent dewaxing becomes single-stage to divide.
EP-A-0272729 discloses a kind of method of producing lubricating base oil, wherein will send into hydroeracking unit by the flash distillation thing that the residual oil method for transformation makes.To send into catalytic dewaxing unit from the effluent of hydroeracking unit, and after this choose wantonly whole dewaxing liquid stream is carried out hydrotreatment.
WO-A-9723584 discloses a kind of method of the bottom fraction of fuels hydrocracker being carried out catalytic dewaxing step.Pressed oil partly is recycled to hydrocracking step and part obtains as lubricating base oil.
The shortcoming that is described in the aforesaid method among the WO-A-9723584 is if isolate more than one base oil fraction from pressed oil, wide pour point then occurred and has distributed.In other words, gained will have low pour point than low viscosity base oil fraction.This pour point has been sacrificed desirable value or different with desirable value, indicates that described more low viscous base oil fraction productive rate loses.
An object of the present invention is to provide a kind of method, this method can prepare two or more base oil fractions simultaneously and their pour points separately more approach desired value.
Another object of the present invention provides a kind of interchangeable method.
Summary of the invention
Following method has realized one or more above purposes or other purpose.
Prepare the method for two or more base oil fractions and middle runnings by carrying out following steps simultaneously by deasphalted oil or the charging of vacuum cut or their mixture:
(a), obtain effluent thus with the charging hydrocracking;
(b) effluent that obtains in the step (a) is distilled into one or more middle runningss and boiling point apparently higher than 340 ℃ residual oil;
(c) by further distilation steps described residual oil is separated into lighter body precursor fraction and heavy base oil precursor fraction;
(d) pour point of each isolating base oil precursor fraction of reduction in the catalytic dewaxing reactor of two whiles and parallel running obtains first and second pressed oils;
(e) the first pressed oil hydrotreatment that will obtain in the time of will in step (d), making the dewaxing of heavy base oil precursor fraction;
(f) from going out two or more base oil fractions from second pressed oil of the lighter body precursor fraction of step (d) with from the hydrotreatment of step (e) is separating of oil.
The applicant finds, can prepare two or more base oil fractions continuously man-hour when adding by the present invention, and reduce the hydrotreatment capacity simultaneously, and this is because only will need the heavier fraction of further hydrotreatment to carry out described step (e).In addition, can avoid the pour point sacrifice of any product,, make the pour point low and high viscosity base oil fraction of gained approach desired value because can operate the dewaxing reactor of two parallel runnings.Any pour point sacrifice indicates that all the productive rate that is lower than the fraction of wishing pour point loses.
