Definitions
- the present invention relates to a catalytic cracking and hydrotreating process for gasoline production from sulfur-containing hydrocarbon feedstocks.
- the catalyst in such unit, is regenerated in a separate vessel, i.e., a regenerator, by burning off the coke to restore its activity.
- a regenerator i.e., a regenerator
- the catalyst is continuously cycled between the reactor and regenerator as a moving bed without shutdown of either unit.
- the economics of the catalytic cracking unit in a refinery determines the product slate which will be produced by a refinery.
- Products from the catalytic cracking unit thus provide feed for other units, e.g., alkylation and polymerization units.
- Cat cycle stocks are used to make lubes, and gas is employed as fuel in the refinery.
- a major portion of the product of the catalytic cracking units of a given refinery are blended directly in gasoline blending pools which serve as supplies of motor gasoline.
- Cat cracking feed stocks are provided by atmospheric and vacuum stills, phenol extraction plants and hydrotreaters.
- the usual feed to a commercial catalytic cracking unit is comprised of a gas oil boiling below about 565.6°C (565.6°C-) (1050°F (1050°F-)), typically a virgin gas oil boiling between about 315.6°C (600°F) and 565.6°C (1050°F).
- thermally cracked materials are often used as cat cracking feeds.
- the activity and activity-maintenance of the catalysts are suppressed due to the presence of sulfur.
- the catalytic converters emit sulfate, either as a sulfuric acid aerosol or as particulates caused by sulfuric acid corrosion of the metal portions of the exhaust train.
- the sulfur in gasoline which is typically present in amounts of about 300 ppm, is oxidized in the combustion chamber of the engine to sulfur dioxide.
- the catalytic converter which is required for lowering the emissions of CO and HC, is thus responsible for the oxidation of sulfur dioxide in the exhaust gas to produce sulfur trioxide which immediately hydrates due to the presence of water vapor, one of the combustion products, to form a sulfuric acid aerosol or acid particulates, neither of which is environmentally acceptable.
- US-A-3950242 describes and claims a method for producing a gasoline boiling range product which comprises cracking a petroleum fraction boiling from about 400°F (204.4°C) to 1100°F (593.3°C) in the presence of a crystalline zeolite cracking catalyst under conditions of temperature, pressure, space velocity and catalyst to oil ratio providing a conversion level of at least 45 vol.% of said fraction to produce a material having a 90% ASTM boiling point of 400°F (204.4°C) and comprising not more than 15 wt.% olefins in the depentanised gasoline product thereof, and contacting the depentanised gasoline of restricted olefin content with a ZSM-5 type crystalline zeolite conversion catalyst at a temperature within the range of 500 to 800°F (260.0 to 426.7°C) to produce a higher octane product.
- the present invention provides a process for the production of high octane gasoline comprising the following steps in combination:
- the present invention provides a process having as an essential feature the step of recracking a cracked naphtha feed containing up to 60 percent, suitably from 20 to 40 percent olefins over a crystalline alumino-silicate zeolite catalyst to further crack the naphtha and saturate at least 50 percent of the olefins, preferably from 80 percent to 100 percent of the olefins, based on the weight of said cracked naphtha feed.
- the cracked naphtha feed is contacted and reacted over the catalyst, without dilution of said feed, at a temperature ranging from 426.7 to 593.3°C (800°F to 1100°F), preferably from 482.2 to 554.4°C (900°F to 1030°F), and at a gauge pressure ranging from 0 to 344.75 kPa (0 to 50 pounds per square inch gauge (psig)), preferably from 43.475 to 137.9 kPa (5 psig to 20 psig). Reaction at such conditions not only produces significant saturation of the olefins, but also significant hydrodenitrogenation and hydrodesulfurization of said cat naphtha feed.
- the process is one wherein a conventional sulfur-bearing cat cracker feed, suitably a gas oil, is catalytically cracked, at conventional conditions, in an initial or first stage to provide a cat naphtha product containing generally from 10 to 60 percent, preferably from 20 to 40 percent olefins.
- the cat naphtha product in whole or in part is then recracked, as an undiluted feed, in a subsequent or second catalytic cracking zone over a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite catalyst.
- the cat naphtha product of the initial or first stage is split into fractions inclusive of a low octane, highly olefinic intermediate fraction having a low end boiling point ranging from 48.9 to 121.1 °C (120°F to 250°F), preferably from 82.2 to 104.4°C (180°F to about 220°F), and a high end boiling point ranging from 121.1 to 193.3°C (250°F to about 380°F), preferably from 132.2°C to 176.7°C (270°F to 350°F).
- a low octane, highly olefinic intermediate fraction having a low end boiling point ranging from 48.9 to 121.1 °C (120°F to 250°F), preferably from 82.2 to 104.4°C (180°F to about 220°F), and a high end boiling point ranging from 121.1 to 193.3°C (250°F to about 380°F), preferably from 132.2°C to 176.7°C (270°F to 350°F).
- a higher boiling fraction having a low end boiling point range from 121.1 to 193.3°C (250°F to 380°F), preferably from 132.2 to 176.7°C (270°F to 350°F), and a higher end boiling point range from 176.7°C to 232.2°C (350°F to 450°F), preferably from 204.4 to 221.1 °C (400°F to 430°F) can also be obtained.
- the intermediate or higher boiling fraction, or a composition which includes both, may be utilized as feed and further catalytically cracked, or recracked, in a subsequent stage over a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite catalyst sufficient to produce significant saturation of the olefins, and hydrodenitrogenation and hydrodesulfurization of said cat cracked naphtha fraction, or fractions.
- the recracked product is then hydrotreated, or hydrofined, at mild hydrotreating conditions to provide a low sulfur gasoline of improved octane.
- the higher boiling fraction or fraction typically having a low end boiling point ranging from 121.1 to 193.3°C (250°F to 380°F) and a high end boiling point ranging from 176.7 to 232.2°C (350°F to 450°F) is not recracked because it is generally of relatively high octane and upgrading of this fraction is not required.
- the intermediate fraction per se preferably, is utilized as a feed and further catalytically cracked, or recracked, in a subsequent stage over a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite catalyst sufficient to produce significant saturation of the olefins, and hydrodenitrogenation and hydrodesulfurization of said cat cracked naphtha fraction.
- the recracked product thereof is then hydrotreated, or hydrofined, at mild hydrotreating conditions, and then reformed over a conventional catalyst at conventional reforming (hydroforming) conditions to provide a low olefin gasoline of improved octane.
- recracking of the cracked naphtha in this manner prior to hydrotreatment of the cracked naphtha to eliminate olefins minimizes mercaptan reversion reactions wherein olefins normally react with by-product hydrogen sulfide to form mercaptans, any significant amount of which simply cannot be tolerated in a reformer feed.
- Suitable cracking catalysts can be used in cracking the gas oil feed, or feed to the first stage catalytic cracker.
- Suitable cracking catalysts include conventional silica-based materials. Exemplary of such catalysts are, e.g. amorphous silica-alumina; silica-magnesia; silica-zirconia; conventional clay cracking catalysts, and the like.
- the amorphous gel silica-metal oxide cracking catalyst may further be composited with kaolin in amounts of 10 to 40 wt.% (based on total weight of the composited catalyst) and up to 20 wt.% or more crystalline alumino-silicate zeolite, such as faujasite.
- a crystalline alumino- silicate zeolite catalyst is required in the second stage catalytic cracker, i.e., for cracking the cat cracked naphtha, or fraction thereof, from the first stage.
- These catalysts are well known and commercially available.
- the catalyst utilized, particularly in the second stage catalytic cracker is an amorphous silica-alumina catalyst containing from 5 to 16 weight percent v-type faujasite, and, optionally 15 to 40 percent kaolin.
- the first and second stage catalytic crackers are operated at about the same absolute conditions of temperature, pressure, space velocity, and catalyst/oil ratio, the runs being initiated by adjusting the feed and catalyst rates, and the temperature and pressure of the reactor to operating conditions.
- the catalytic cracking operation in both stages of cracking is continued at conditions by adjustment of the major process variables, within the ranges described below:
- the product of the first stage catalytic cracker is characterized as a cracked naphtha having an olefin content ranging from 10 percent to 60 percent, more typically from 20 percent to 40 percent (by weight) and boiling within the gasoline range, typically from 18.3 °C (65°F) to 221.1 °C (430°F) (i.e., Cs to 221.1 °C, C 5/ 430°F).
- All or a portion of the cat cracked naphtha, preferably an intermediate or heavy fraction, or composition which includes both fractions, as previously defined, is split from the product of said first stage, fed into, and recracked, without dilution, over the crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite catalyst in the second stage catalytic cracker.
- the recracked product is then subjected to a mild hydrotreatment by contact, with a catalyst comprising a composite of an inorganic oxide base, suitably alumina, and a Group VI-B or Group VIII metal, or both, e.g., a cobalt molybdenum ("moly”)/alumina catalyst, at conditions given as follows, to provide a gasoline suitable for addition to a gasoline blending pool, to wit:
- the recracked product is subjected to the following mild hydrotreating conditions so as to provide a naphtha suitable as a feed to a reforming process:
- the product from the hydrofiner is subjected to reforming, at reforming conditions, by contact with a sulfur-sensitive, noble metal reforming catalyst to produce a satisfactory high octane gasoline.
- the reforming run is initiated by injection of hydrogen into the reforming reactor (or zone) with the feed at the desired .hydrogen and feed rates, with adjustment of the temperature and pressure to operating conditions.
- the run is continued at optimum reforming conditions by adjustment of the major process variables, within the ranges described below:
- the catalyst employed in reforming is one comprising a refractory or inorganic oxide support material, particularly alumina, which is composited with a Group VIII noble metal hydrogenation- dehydrogenation component, notably platinum, to which may be added an additional metal, or metals, to promote the activity and selectivity of the catalysts, particularly iridium or rhenium, or both, or component selected from the Group IV metals, Group VI metals, Group VII metals, and Group VIII metals, e.g., germanium, tin, lead, osmium, ruthenium, rhodium or the like.
- a halogen component suitably chlorine, is generally added to provide the desired acidity.
- These components can be added to a support by any of the conventional methods, e.g., by impregnation prior to, following or simultaneously with the impregnation of the noble metal, or halogen components.
- the metal hydrogenation-dehydragenation components, or promoters are added to a support in concentration ranging about 0.01 to 3 percent, preferably from about 0.05 to about 1 percent, based on the weight of the catalyst.
- a suitable support can contain, e.g., one or more of alumina, bentonite, clay, diatomaceous earth, zeolite, silica, activated carbon, magnesia, zirconia, thoria, and the like; though the most preferred support is alumina to which, if desired, can be added a suitable amount of other refractory carrier materials such as silica, zirconia, magnesia, titania, etc., usually in a range of about 1 to 20 percent, based on the weight of the support.
- a preferred support is one having a surface area of more than 50 m 2 /g, preferably from 100 to 300 m 2 /g, a bulk density of 0.3 to 1.0 g/ml, preferably 0.4 to 0.8 g/ml, an average pore volume of 0.2 to 1.1 ml/g, preferably 0.3 to 0.8 ml/g, and an average pore diameter of 30 to 300A (3 to 30 nm).
- Feedstock A a cat cracked naphtha, hereinafter referred to as Feedstock A, the complete feedstock inspections of which are given in Table I, below.
- Feedstock A was hydrofined in a reactor at 287.8°C (550°F), 2758 kPa gauge (400 psig), and 142.5 litres H 2 /litre feedstock (800 SCF/B) over a cobalt moly-on-alumina catalyst to produce a low sulfur gasoline blending component having a Bromine number of about 5 and 20 wppm sulfur, this requiring about 96.5% hydrodesulfurization.
- the product has a research octane number (RONC) at 77.3 and a motor octane number (MONC) of 73.0, this representing a loss of 5.5 RONC and a 2.2 loss of MONC as a result of the hydrofining.
- Feedstock A was recracked in a reactor at 498.9°C (930°F), 101.36 kPa absolute (14.7 psia), 13.7 WHSV and at a catalyst/oil ratio of 9.2 over a conventional commercial zeolite cracking catalyst containing crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite, silica alumina gel and clays, and the product then fractionated to provide a light ends cut, and three fractions, i.e., a low boiling 18.3/93.3°C (65/200°F) fraction, an intermediate 93.3/221.1 °C (200/430°F) fraction and a high boiling 221.1 °C+ (430°F+) fraction, the low boiling and intermediate boiling fractions being characterized in Table II.
- the 93.3/221.1 °C (200/430°F) fraction is then hydrofined at 287.8°C (550°F), 2758 kPa gauge (400 psig), 142.5 litres H/litre naphtha fraction (800 SCF/Bbl) over a cobalt moly-on-alumina catalyst as in Example 1 to produce a low sulfur gasoline blending component having Bromine No. of about 1 and containing 11 wppm sulfur, this requiring about 95.5% hydrodesulfurization.
- the resulting product has octane ratings of 89.4 RONC and 80.9 MONC.
- the loss in octane rating for this low sulfur gasoline blending component is nil as relates to the motor octane number rating, and only 1 octane number as relates to research octane number.
- the resultant product has an octane number of 88.7 RONC and 80.6 MONC, contains only 20 wppm of sulfur, and represents 80.8 vol. percent recovered product, based on the original feed.
- Octane loss as a result of hydrofining is estimated at about 0.5 RONC, or less.
- Feedstock A was split into three fractions, a 18.3/93.3°C (65/200°F) fraction, a 93.3/165.6°C (200/330°F) fraction, and a 165.6°C+ (330°F+) fraction as defined in Table III.
- the 18.3/93.3°C (65/200°F) fraction is then treated in a Merox * process, after admixture with light ends from the 93.3/165.6°C (200/330°F) fraction which is recracked as defined hereafter, to produce a product of 87.5 RONC and 79.2 MONC with 50 ppm sulfur.
- the 93.3/165.6°C (200/330°F) fraction is recracked in a reactor at 498.9°C (930°F), 101.36 kPa absolute (14.7 psia), 13.7 WHSV at a catalyst/oil ratio of 9.2 over a conventional commercial zeolite, silica-alumina gel and clays, and the product then fractionated to provide a 18.3/93.3°C (65/200°F) fraction which is blended with the 18.3/93.3°C (65/200°F) fraction to Merox, a 93.3/221.1°C (200/430°F) fraction, and a 221.1°C+ (430°F+) fraction.
- the 18.3/93.3°C (65/200°F) and 93.3/221.1 °C (200/430°F) fractions are characterized in Table IV.
- the 165.6°C+ (330°F+) fraction characterized in Table III, is combined with the 93.3/221.1 °C (200/430°F) and 221.1 °C+ (430°F+) recracked fractions, then hydrofined over a cobalt moly-on-alumina catalyst at 287.8°C (550°F), 2758 kPa gauge (400 psig) and 142.5 litres H2/litre naphtha fractions (800 SCR/B).
- the feed entering the hydrofiner (H/F Feed), the product therefrom (H/F Product), and the final product formed by combining the hydrofined product and product from Merox * is characterized in Table V.
- Feedstock A was recracked in a reactor at 498.9°C (930°F), 101.36 kPa absolute (14.7 psia), 13.7 WHSV and at a catalyst/oil ratio of 9.2 over a conventional commercial zeolite cracking catalyst containing crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite, silicate alumina gel and clays, and the product then fractionated to provide three fractions, i.e., a low boiling 18.3/93.3°C (65/200°F) fraction, an intermediate 93.3/176.7°C (200/350°F) fraction and a high boiling 176.7/221.1°C (350/430°F) fraction, as characterized in Table VI.
- the 93.3/176.7°C (200/350°F) fraction is then hydrofined over a cobalt moly-on-alumina catalyst at conditions just sufficient to produce a suitable reforming feed, this requiring 98.9% hydrodesulfurization, 50% hydrodenitrogenation, and 70% saturation of the olefins to provide a product of 89 RONC with less than 1 ppm sulfur, less than 1 ppm nitrogen and a bromine number of less than 1.
- a hydrogen consumption of 3.562 litres H/litre feed (20 SCF/Bbl) is required.
- the hydrofined fraction is then reformed over an iridium-promoted platinum catalyst at 498.9°C (930°F), 1.0 W/Hr/W, 1379 kPa gauge (200 psig) at a hydrogen to oil ratio of 855 litres/litre (4800 SCF/Bbl) to produce 100 RONC gasoline.
- the recracking of Feedstock A is thus shown to drastically reduce the amount of hydrotreating required to produce a reformer feed, and it achieves this at far less severity and with far less consumption of hydrogen. Moreover, assuming first order desulfurization kinetics, 20% less reactor volume is required to achieve 98.8% hydrodesulfurization for the intermediate fraction of recracked Feedstock A than is required to produce 99.6% hydrodesulfurization for the intermediate fraction of raw Feedstock A. It also reduces reforming severity, or the severity required to produce 100 RONC gasoline.
- the 93.3/176.7°C (200/350°F) fraction is then hydrofined over a cobalt moly-on-alumina catalyst at conditions just sufficient to produce a suitable reforming feed, this requiring 98.8% hydrodesulfurization, 67% hydrodenitrogenation, and 63% saturation of the olefins to provide a product of 89.6 RONC with less than 1 ppm sulfur, less than 1 ppm nitrogen and a bromine number of less than one.
- a hydrogen consumption of 3.562 to 5.343 litres H 2 /litre oil (20 to 30 SCF/Bbl) is required.
- the hydrofined fraction is then reformed over an iridium promoted platinum catalyst at 498.9°C (930°F), 1.0 W/Hr/W, 1379 kPa (gauge (200 psig) at a hydrogen to oil ratio of 855 litres H 2 /litre oil (4800 SCB/Bbl) to produce 100 RONC gasoline.
- the preferred embodiment as represented by Example 5, also provides higher selectivity for other relatively high value products vis-a-vis the embodiment of Example 4; or, conversely, lower selectivity for products of lesser value vis-a-vis the embodiment of Example 4.
- Table IX presents comparative data illustrative of the product of such relatively low value by-products as coke, light gases, inclusive of hydrogen and C 1 and C 2 hydrocarbons, and 221.1°C+ (430°F+) hydrocarbons, in the preceding runs wherein, as in Example 4, the whole of Feedstock A is recracked, and in Example 5 an intermediate boiling feedstock is recracked.
- the Table also presents the yields of C 3 and C 4 hydrocarbons which were obtained, these products being nearly as valuable as gasoline.
- the first column of Table IX identifies the by-product, the second column gives the percent yield of the by-product, based on the amount of recracked feed which was treated, and the third column gives the percent yield, based on the amount of original Feedstock A.
