Up-flow liquid phase hydrogenation reactor
Technical Field
The utility model relates to an up-flow liquid phase hydrogenation's hydrogenation ware.
Background
For a traditional fixed bed hydrogenation reactor, gas, liquid and solid phases coexist during hydrogenation reaction, the gas phase is the vapor of hydrogen and hydrocarbon raw materials, the liquid phase is unvaporized hydrocarbon raw materials, and the solid phase is a catalyst. The two phases, gas and liquid, are passed in trickle flow through the catalyst bed and are therefore also referred to as trickle bed reactors. The reactions of desulfurization, denitrification and the like of the conventional trickle bed hydrogenation reactor mainly use hydrogen mass transfer, namely the speed of hydrogen diffusing from a gas phase and dissolving into oil is the control step of the whole hydrogenation reaction.
The liquid phase hydrogenation technology is a novel hydrogenation technology. The liquid phase hydrogenation process is characterized in that the influence of hydrogen mass transfer is eliminated, the hydrogenation reaction is carried out in a dynamic control area, namely, the hydrogen is dissolved in the raw oil to meet the hydrogen required by the hydrogenation reaction, the pure liquid phase reaction is carried out in a reactor, the influence of mass transfer of the hydrogen from a gas phase to a liquid phase can be eliminated, sufficient hydrogen is dissolved through liquid circulation to meet the requirement of the hydrogenation reaction, and the investment of equipment such as a recycle hydrogen compressor, a high-pressure separator and the like is saved. Compared with the traditional trickle bed process, the liquid phase hydrogenation process flow is not provided with a hydrogen circulation system and a gas-liquid separation system, so that the investment cost is greatly reduced, a liquid phase circulation system and a static mixer of hydrogen and oil are added, the hydrogen is completely dissolved in the feed, and the material in the reactor exists in a pure liquid phase state.
The main internal components of the traditional fixed bed hydrogenation reactor are an inlet diffuser, a gas-liquid distribution disc, a catalyst bed layer support, a cold hydrogen tank, an outlet collector and the like, wherein the internal components directly related to the use efficiency of the catalyst are the gas-liquid distribution disc and the cold hydrogen tank. In order to adapt to liquid phase hydrogenation, a person skilled in the art develops a new reactor on the basis of the existing fixed bed hydrogenation reactor, but the reactors are still provided with a large number of internal components, so that the cost of the hydrogenation reactor is high, the maintenance and the repair are difficult, and the internal components occupy a large amount of internal space, so that the space of a catalyst bed is insufficient.
For example, CN 104178217 a discloses a liquid phase hydrogenation method and a reactor thereof. The reactor comprises a reactor cylinder, a mixing dissolver, a stripping distributor, a catalyst bed layer, a reactor outlet and a reactor inlet, wherein the mixing dissolver, the stripping distributor and the catalyst bed layer are arranged in the reactor cylinder. The upper part of the reactor is also provided with a separation tray or packing.
