Technical field
The present invention relates in individual facilities, prepare the method that distillates fuel with lubricant.The invention still further relates to the integrated facility that is used to implement the inventive method.
Background technology
Because world's oil supply reduces, refinery must use more inferior crude oil to prepare high quality lubricant base oils.High quality lubricant base oils be have high viscosity index (HVI) (" VI "), be VI 135, the high quality lubricant base oils of low volatility and low pour point.Owing to have high-caliber relatively aromatic substance, need harsh hydroprocessing condition so that inferior crude oil is converted into high-quality lubricating oil.So not harsh processing (for example distillation) can obtain having the lubricant base oil of high-load cycloparaffin series compound, and known cycloparaffin series compound reduces viscosity index.
In a currently known methods, prepare lubricant base oil and distillating fuel by following method simultaneously by low-quality crude oil: make the heavy hydrocarbon feedstocks hydrocracking, the material of separate lubricant base oil boiling range and be fed to the material that second hydrocracker distillates fuel with production.At first cracking is to prepare required lubricant base oil feed under mild conditions for heavy hydrocarbon, and residuum cracking under severe condition distillates fuel with preparation.
Synthetic charging (for example Fischer-Tropsch (Fischer-Tropsch) synthetic product) is the alternatives that is used for the production high quality lubricant base oils.Usually, for the quality with the Fischer-Tropsch product of the content of wax rises to high quality lubricant base oils, need large-scale high severity hydrocracker.
In addition, the market requirement to lubricant base oil proves that usually the facility of constructing special use or approaching special use is not good means.In fact, to the market requirement that distillates fuel considerably beyond the market requirement to lubricant base oil.Therefore, facility is constructed usually so that the maximum production that distillates fuel, and the high-quality lube base stock of output simultaneously.
The centre distillates fuel only needs minimum isomerization, promptly isomer align the ratio of structure body be about 0.1: 1 to 1 or 2 about 5: 1 methyl-branched, to satisfy the cloud point requirement.In contrast, more the heavy-gravity lubricant must satisfy stricter pour point requirement, and (for example AIAE American institute of automobile engineers (the SAE J300 that Society of Automotive Engineers publishes) and manufacturers of engines are for the product of the requirement of lubricated and hydraulic fluid to be mixed with the low temperature standards that satisfies harshness.In order to satisfy these standards and requirement, lubricant base oil usually need be than 10: 1 much higher isomer align the ratio of structure body.Therefore, although charging must stand harsh relatively hydrocracking usually to obtain for the required isomerization of lubricant base oil, do not need harsh hydrocracking and distillate fuel in the middle of producing.
If high viscosity index lubricant base oils is a desired product, content of wax materials flow is the desirable materials flow of hydrotreating reactor so.Use simple catalyzer wax to be converted into the high viscosity index (HVI) base oil, produced the isomerization alkanes base oil that almost only constitutes alkyl group side chain that during reaction forms by methyl group as aluminum chloride.Comprise that for the improvement of this batch treatment the hydrotreatment flow process of remarkable quantity, wherein various crude oil or synthetic hydrocarbon flow are processed to the isomerization alkanes of methyl-branched and have more highly saturated and other product branching with comparing with feed steam by hydrogenation conversion catalyst.These currently known methodss almost only use linear flow process, and wherein charging is to use circulation loop hydrotreatment and distillation through some flow processs, with the non-treated content of wax residuum of hydrotreatment from distillation tower.But equipment that uses in these flow processs and catalyzer are bought and the costliness that operates.Capital investment being minimized and increase the output of required high viscosity lubricating base oil simultaneously and keep or increase the output that distillates fuel is unusual ideal plant design feature.The present invention has put down in writing so a kind of plant design, make by allowing the shop equipment that comprises reactor more closely customize to produce required product by minimum requirements, can be from the maximum production that distillates fuel of wax feed, the maximum production of high isomerization alkanes base oil and capital investment cost minimization.
Also exist for using high-quality Fischer-Tropsch synthetic to distillate fuel and the demand of the method for high quality lubricants to produce simultaneously as charging.Also exist for the coincide method of isomerized demand in the product materials flow of the size of hydrocracker and severity.
Summary of the invention
The present invention relates to produce synthetic lubricant base oil and fuel simultaneously from same synthetic charging.Described method comprises: at first use unit separately that the charging fractionation is cut, randomly separate hydrotreatment lighting end and last running to remove the low severity hydroisomerization of pollutent, last running, with the fractionation of whole materials flow secondary is distillating fuel of several types and quality and content of wax lubricant feed, content of wax lubricant feed is hydrodewaxing into low pour point, high quality base oil, randomly hydrofining and finally be distilled into lubricating base oil and distillating fuel, and with separation column bottoms stream (for example raffinate) recirculation for the third time up to disappearance.
In another embodiment of the present invention, after hydrocracking step, part transforms and circulating in first separation column of unconverted wax finished, rather than the 3rd or final separation column in finish.
Of the present inventionly provide the simplified method that is prepared base oil by wax feed with initial low severity hydrocracking and the method that only hydrocracking of unconverted heavy wax reflux materials flow high severity is combined subsequently, this method makes the maximum production of high quality lubricant base oils that cost of equipment is minimized.Produce the wax hydrogenating conversion process of fuel and lubricant with traditional being used to and compare, this method flow makes that total capital investment is less and yield of high value liquid products is higher, has increased the total capital efficient of facility.
