Definitions

  • This invention relates to an improved process for increasing gasoline octane number and total gasoline yield and an integrated process for increasing the total gasoline yield per unit of chargestock used in the process.
  • the invention integrates an improved fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process to obtain improved gasoline yield of higher octane number and olefins and to a catalytic technique for upgrading the olefins to heavier hydrocarbons, in particular, gasoline.
  • FCC fluid catalytic cracking
  • the disclosed process will thus provide increased gasoline yields of higher octane for given volume or weight of chargestock fed to the process.
  • Hydrocarbon conversion processes utilizing in crystalline zeolites have been the subject of extensive investigation during recent years, as is obvious from patent and scientific literature.
  • Crystalline zeolites have been found to be particularly effective for a wide variety of hydrocarbon conversion processes, including the catalytic cracking of a hydrocarbon, e.g., gas oil, to produce motor fuels and have been described and claimed in many patents, such as U.S. Patent Nos. 4,118,338 and 4,368,114.
  • a hydrocarbon e.g., gas oil
  • the temperature at the inlet of a FCC unit e.g., riser
  • a quenching fluid such as liquid water
  • the total yield of gasoline can be increased if the quench fluid, such as liquid water, or a hydrocarbon stream such as fresh feed, recycled oil naphtha, light (LCO) or heavy (HCO) cycle oils, coker gas oils, liquified propane gas (LPG), butanes and lighter hydrocarbons, alcohols or ethers, is introduced into the cracking unit above the point where the catalyst and oil become well mixed.
  • the quench fluid such as liquid water, or a hydrocarbon stream such as fresh feed, recycled oil naphtha, light (LCO) or heavy (HCO) cycle oils, coker gas oils, liquified propane gas (LPG), butanes and lighter hydrocarbons, alcohols or ethers
  • At least a portion of the light olefin-containing gas obtained from the foregoing process is fed to a fluidized bed of catalytic particles, e.g., zeolite catalyst, whereby the light olefins are upgraded to heavier hydrocarbon products, C S , and especially gasoline.
  • a fluidized bed of catalytic particles e.g., zeolite catalyst
  • the improved process of this invention affords the refiner greater flexibility in the catalytic cracking operation while improving the total yield of gasoline obtained from a unit volume or weight of hydrocarbon chargestock.
  • the process of this invention is particularly applicable to the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process.
  • FCC fluid catalytic cracking
  • Fig. 1 show a conventional catalyst section of a fluid catalytic cracking plant.
  • the hydrocarbon feed 2 such as a gas oil fraction, or resid, boiling above 473° C (600° F), typically from about 473° C (600° F) up to about 538° C (1000°F) is passed, after preheating thereof, to the bottom portion of riser 4 for admixture with hot regenerated catalyst introduced by standpipe 6 provided with flow control valve 8.
  • the suspension initially formed in the riser may be retained during flow through the riser for a hydrocarbon residence time in the range of about 0.5 to about 20 seconds. It is to be expressly understood that although the foregoing description refers to regenerated catalyst, it is also within the scope of the invention to substitute at least part, if not all, of the regenerated catalyst with fresh catalyst without departing from the spirit of the invention.
  • the hydrocarbon vapor-catalyst suspension formed in the lower section of the riser is passed upwardly through riser 4 under hydrocarbon conversion conditions of at least about 482° C (900° F) and more usually at least about 538° C( f1000°F) before discharging to one or more cyclonic separation zones above the riser discharge, represented by cyclone separator 14.
  • cyclone separator combinations comprising first and second cyclonic separation means attached to or spaced apart from the riser discharge for separating catalyst particles from hydrocarbon vapors.
  • Separated hydrocarbon vapors are passed from separator 4 to a plenum chamber 16 for withdrawal thereof by conduit 18.
  • the catalyst separated from the hydrocarbon vapors in the cyclonic separation means is passed, by suitable diplegs, represented by dipleg 20, to a dense fluid bed of separated catalyst 22 retained about an upper portion of riser conversion zone 4.
  • Catalyst bed 22 is maintained as a downwardly moving fluid bed of catalyst countercurrent to rising gasiform material.
  • Catalyst passes downwardly through a stripping zone 24 immediately therebelow and countercurrent to riser stripping gas, introduced to a lower portion thereof by conduit 26.
  • Baffles 28 are provided in the stripping zone to improve the stripping operation.
  • the catalyst is maintained in stripping zone 24 for a period of time sufficient to effect the high temperature desorption of feed deposited compounds which are then carried overhead by the stripping gas.
  • the stripping gas with desorbed hydrocarbon passes through one or more cyclone separating means 32 wherein entrained catalyst fines are separated and returned to the catalyst 22 by dipleg 34.
  • the hydrocarbon conversion zone comprising riser 4 may terminate in an upper enlarged portion of the catalyst collecting vessel, commonly known in the prior art as a "bird cage" discharge device, where an open end "T" connection may be fastened to the riser discharge which is not directly connected to the cyclonic separation means.
  • Cyclonic separation means may be spaced apart from the riser discharge so that an initial catalyst separation is effective by a change in velocity and direction of the discharged suspension so that vapors less encumbered with catalyst fines may then pass through one or more cyclonic separation means before passing through the product separation step.
  • gasiform materials comprising stripping gas, hydrocarbon vapors and desorbed sulfur compounds are passed from a cyclonic separation means, represented by separator 32, to a plenum chamber 16 for removal with hydrocarbon products of the cracking operation through conduit 18.
  • Gasiform material, comprising hydrocarbon vapors is passed by conduit 18 to a product fractionation device (not shown).
  • the hot stripped catalyst is withdrawan from the lower portion of the stripping zone by conduit 36 for transfer to a fluid bed of catalyst being regenerated in a catalyst regeneration zone of catalytic regenerator 40.
  • a flow control valve 38 can be provided in the coked catalyst conduit 36 for controlling the flow of the coked catalyst into the regeneration zone.
  • the details of the regenerator 40 are not shown as the specifics of the catalyst regeneration operation is not part of the present invention and various types of regeneration processes and apparatus known to those having ordinary skill in the art may be utilized to regenerate the catalyst utilized in the FCC unit.
  • hot freshly regenerated catalyst is withdrawn from regeneration zone through conduit 6, passing through flow control valve 8 for mixture with the hydrocarbon feed 2 entering riser 4 so as to effect catalytic cracking of the hydrocarbon feed 2.
  • the hot regenerated catalyst entering riser 4 from conduit 6 is at an elevated temperature, generally higher than 538°C (1000°F), usually in the range of about 566°C (1050° F) to above about 704°C (1300° F) when it contacts hydrocarbon feed 2.
  • the combination of hot regenerated catalyst and preheated feedstock, or both produces a mix temperature in the bottom of the FCC riser above about 552° C (1025° F), preferably in the range of about 582°C (1080° F) to about 593° C (1100°F). It is to be understood that although the regenerated catalyst may be substituted with fresh catalyst, it is preferred to use hot catalyst as a source of heat to raise the temperature in the lower section of riser 4.
  • Conventional fluid catalytic cracking reaction vessels or risers 4 vary in diameter and height. Typical diameters are from about 0.9 to 1.8 m (3 feet to 6 feet) with typical heights being from about 15 m to 30 m (50 feet to 100 feet).
  • a quenching fluid such as liquid water
  • the point of introduction of the quenching fluid will affect the yield of products as well as the octane number of the gasoline fraction.
  • the point of introduction of the quenching fluid can thus be tailored to meet the requirements of specific products and specific equipment.
  • the quenching fluid is introduced within about 7 to 1520 cm (50 feet) of the feedstock inlet.
  • a FCC rise 4 as illustrated in Fig. 1 which is limited to a fixed riser top temperature (RTT) of about 538°C (1000°F) it will be possible with the addition of the quenching fluid to increase the mix temperature to any desired degree at the bottom riser 4.
  • This increase in mix temperature at the bottom of the riser has unexpectedly been observed to increase the yield of gasoline.
  • This yield increase of gasoline is attributed to an increase in the vaporization of the hydrocarbon feed in the bottom of the riser 4 as the mix temperature is raised. Because vapor phase cracking rates are much faster than the liquid phase cracking rates, the shift toward the vapor state causes the increased conversion of a hydrocarbon feed, such as a gas oil fraction, to gasoline.
  • a quenching fluid such as liquid water
  • a quenching fluid such as liquid water
  • the catalyst-to-oil ratio of the prior art typically 10:1 to 2:1, preferably 6:1 can be maintained.
  • riser units limited by a maximum top temperature, maximum catalyst circulation rate, or maximum coke burning rate, can increase mix temperature, and hence gasoline yield, within these constraints.
  • the amount of quenching fluid admitted is in such quantity and temperature so as to limit the top temperature of the cracking unit to a desired amount, preferably less than about 549°C (1020°F), preferably below about 538°C (1000°F).
  • a desired amount preferably less than about 549°C (1020°F), preferably below about 538°C (1000°F).
  • water, butane and lighter hydrocarbons, alcohols and ethers are preferred, with water and butane and lighter hydrocarbons being more preferable. Of all quenching fluids, water is most preferred.
  • the amount of quenching fluid admitted to quench the temperature of the catalyst oil mixture will vary depending on the desired inlet and outlet temperature, competing endo- and exo- thermic heats of reaction and temperature and type of quenching material.
  • the amount of water as quenching fluid is within the range of 5-15 weight percent, preferably 7-8% based upon the total weight of the hydrocarbon charge introduced at the inlet.
  • the quenching fluid is liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or mixed butanes about 15 weight percent, based on the total weight percent of the hydrocarbon charge is preferred.
  • LPG liquefied petroleum gas
  • LCO e.g., sponge oil
  • addition of about 35 weight percent based on the total weight of the hydrocarbon charge is preferred.
  • a volumetric amount equal to the aforementioned weight of LCO (sponge oil) is the preferred amount of quench fluid.
  • FIG. 2 the effect of mix temperature on conversion of gas oil to gasoline is demostrated for commercial and pilot plant units.
  • the effect in commercial units (solid line CU) is much greater than the effect observed in pilot plant units (dashed line PP).
  • the greater sensitivity of commercial units in regard to percent conversion versus mix temperature has heretofore not been observed and is believed to be the result of poor mixing and vaporization in the larger diameter commercial units. It is readily apparent that increasing the mix temperature in both the commercial and pilot plant units result in an increase in gasoline yield based upon greater conversion of the hydrocarbon feedstock to gasoline.
  • the mix temperature at the bottom of riser 4 can be increased in the order of about 31 ° C (55° F) which causes conversion to increase significantly.
  • Fig. 3 shows the increase in mix temperature plotted versus the amount of water added intermediate the riser oil inlet and outlet as a percentage of the oil feed. This plot is at a constant riser top temperature (1000° F) and a constant catalyst-to-oil ratio of 6.0:1.
  • the injection point of the quenching fluid, such as water, should be in the portion of the riser downstream of where the the catalyst and oil are well mixed, generally occurring from about the first 7 to about the first 20 feet, preferably from about the first 10 to about the first 20 feet of the riser.
  • the point of introduction of the quenching fluid can occur at any point downstream of where the catalyst and oil are well mixed to about 6.1 m (20 feet) from the and outlet of the riser.
  • a quenching fluid such as liquid water
  • the temperature of the quenching fluid is not critical and liquid water at a temperature range of from about 16°C (60° F) to about 38° C (100°F) has been found suitable although these temperatures may vary from ambient to above boiling and other liquids may be used at temperatures of from about 16°C (60° F) to about 482° C (900° F).
  • the temperature in the bottom of the reactor can be controlled independently of the temperature in the top of the reactor by adding suitable amounts of a quenching fluid intermediate the oil inlet and outlet of the reactor.
  • the preferred quenching fluid is liquid water, due to its ready availability, although other materials such as the aforementioned fresh feed, recycle oil napntha, etc. may be used alone or in combination.
  • the point of introduction 5 is intermediate the oil inlet and outlet of the reactor.
  • the gas plant i.e., gas compressor and separator
  • the present invention overcomes the problems associated with increasing octane number according to the prior art process of generally raising the temperature throughout the reactor, without the attendant increase in gaseous hydrocarbon (C.. ) production, by introducing a quenching fluid intermediate the oil inlet and outlet of the reactor so as to limit gaseous hydrocarbon,Ca formation, to levels tolerated by existing gas plant equipment.

  • base which is a representative prior art riser, operated at a top temperature of about 524° C (975° F)
  • 50.2 weight percent of gasoline is obtained with about 76.5 weight percent conversion of the total hydrocarbon charge.
  • the use of the term "steep profile" in the foregoing table describes the present invention wherein the riser bottom zone temperature is raised over that obtainable in the prior art although by the use of quench fluid the riser top zone temperature is actually reduced to a point lower than that of the prior art.
  • Gasoline yield remains high at 49.3% with approximately the same weight percent of conversion but higher gasoline octanes for both research and motor octane values are obtained.
  • Conventional fluid catalytic cracking reaction vessels or risers 4 vary in diameter and height. Typical diameters are from about 0.9 m (3 feet) to about 1.8 M (6 feet) with typical heights being from about 15.2 m (50 feet) to about 30.5 m (100 feet).
  • the metallurgical and process requirements limit the top temperature generally from about 566° C (1050° F) to less than 538°C (1000°F), e.g., 510°C (950°F).
  • a hydrocarbon feed entering riser 4 through inlet 2 may be preheated to a temperature such that when it contacts the hot regenerated catalyst entering riser 4 through conduit 6 through flow control valve 8 the temperature of the catalyst-oil mix will be greater than 593° C (1100°F) whereby conversion of hydrocarbon to gasoline will be effected.
  • a quench fluid will be injected into the hot hydrocarbon catalyst mix.
  • the temperature and amount of injection can be controlled so that a top temperature of the riser will be about 550° C (1020° F) or below, e.g., 538°C (1000°F), preferably about 524°C (975°F), most preferably about 510°C (950°F).

  • Reactor vessel 120 is shown provided with heat exchange tubes 126, which may be arranged in several separate heat exchange tube bundles so that the temperature control can be separately exercised over different portions of the fluid catalyst bed.
  • the bottoms of the tubes are spaced above feed distribution grid 122 sufficiently to be free of jet action caused by the feed changed through the small diameter holes in the grid.
  • reaction heat can be partially or completely removed by using cold feed.
  • Baffles may be added to control radial and axial mixing. Although depicted without baffles, the vertical reaction zone can contain open-end tubes above the grid for controlling hydraulic constraints, as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,251,484. The heat released from the reaction can be controlled by adjusting feed temperature in a known manner.

  • the basic process heretofore described can be used to obtain higher overall yields of gasoline per unit weight or volume of hydrocarbon chargestock than heretofore obtainable prior to the present invention.
  • Example 1 is for a feed containing only ethene and hydrogen.
  • Example 2 is for a feed containing nitrogen, hydrogen, ethene and propene. Similar data can be obtained by substituting lower alkanes for the nitrogen. C + 4 yields will be higher, as some of the alkanes convert.

  • Conversion of lower olefins, especially propene and butenes, over HZSM-5 is effective at moderately elevated temperatures and pressures.
  • Product distribution for liquid hydrocarbons can be varied by controlling process conditions, such as temperature, pressure and space velocity.
  • Gasoline (Cs- Cio) is readily formed at elevated temperatures, e.g., up to about 400°C, and moderate pressure from ambient to about 5500 kPa, preferably from about 250 to about 2900 kPa.
  • Olefinic gasoline can be produced in good yield and may be recovered as a product or fed to low severity, high pressure reactor systems for further conversion to heavier distillate-range products. Operating details for typical oil to gasoline oligomerization units are described in U.S. Patents Nos.
  • ethene-rich olefinic-light gas can be upgraded to liquid hydrocarbons rich in olefinic gaso- line, isobutane and aromatics by catalytic conversion in a tur- bulent fluidized bed of solid acid zeolite catalyst under high severity reaction conditions in a single pass or with recycle of gas product.
  • This technique is particularly useful for upgrading FCC light gas, particularly that obtainable by the improved steep temperature profile process previously described which usually contains significant amounts of ethene, propene, C 2 -C 4 paraffins and hydrogen produced in cracking heavy petroleum oils or the like.
  • gasoline yield of existing and new FCC units can be significantly increased.

  • the oligomerization catalyst preferred for use in the present invention include the medium pore (i.e., about 5-7 Angstroms) shape-selective crystalline alumino-silicate zeolites having a silica-to-alumina ratio of at least 12, a constraint index of about 1 to 12 and alpha cracking activity of about 10 - 250.
  • the coked catalyst may have an apparent activity (alpha value) of about 10 to 80 under the process conditions to achieve the required degree of reaction severity.
  • Representative of the zeolites suitable for use in the fluidized bed include ZSM-5, ZSM-11, ZSM-12, ZSM-22, ZSM-23, ZSM-35 and ZSM-38, which have been previously described.
  • All suitable zeolites have a coordinated metal oxide to silica molar ratio of 20:1 to 200:1, or higher, and it is advantageous to employ a standard ZSM-5 having a silica-alumina molar ratio of about 25:1 to 70:1, suitably modified.
  • a typical zeolite catalyst component having Bronsted acid sites may consist essentially of alumina-silicate ZSM-5 with 5 to 95 weight percent silica and/or alumina binder.
  • siliceous zeolites may be employed in their acid forms, ion exchanged or impregnated with one or more suitable metals, such as Ga, Pd, Zn, Ni, Co and/or other metals of periodic groups of III-VIII.
  • the zeolite may include a hydrogenation-dehydrogenation component (sometimes referred to as a hydrogenation component) which is generally one or more metals of group IB, IIB, IIIB, VA, VIA or VillA of the periodic table (IUPAC) especially aromatization metals, such as Ga, Pd, etc.
  • Useful hydrogenation components include the noble metals of Group VIIIA, especially platinum but other noble metals, such as palladium, gold, silver, rhenium or rhodium, may also be used.
  • Base metal hydrogenation components may also be used, especially nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, tungsten, copper or zinc.
  • the catalyst materials may include two or more catalytic components, such as a metallic oligomerization component, e.g., ionic Ni +2 , and a shape selective medium pore acidic oligomerization catalyst, such as ZSM-5 zeolite, which component may be present in admixture combined in a unitary bifunctional solid particle. It is possible to utilize an ethene dimerization metal or oligomerization agent to effect oligomerization of an ethene feedstock in a continuous reaction zone. Certain of the ZSM-5-type medium pore shape selective catalysts are sometimes known as pentasils. In addition to the preferred aluminasilicates, the borosilicate, thiosilicate, and "silicalite" materials may be employed.
  • the ZSM-5-type pentasils-type zeolites are particularly useful in the process because of their regenerability, long life and stability under extreme conditions of operation.
  • the zeolite crystals have a crystal size of from about 0.01 to over 2 microns or more, with 0.02-1 micron being preferred.
  • the zeolite catalyst crystals are bound with a suitable inorganic oxide, such as silica, alumina, etc. to provide a zeolite concentration of about 5 to 95 weight percent.
  • a 250/o HZSM-5 catalyst contain within a silica-alumina matrix and having a fresh alpha value of about 80 was employed unless otherwise stated.
  • Particle size distribution can be a significant factor in achieving overall homogeneity in turbulent regime fluidization. It is desired to operate the process with particles that will mix well throughout the bed. Large particles having a particle size greater than 250 microns should be avoided, and it is advantageous to employ a particle size range consisting essentially of 1 to 250 microns. Average particle size is usually about 20 to 100 microns, preferably 48 to 80 microns. Particle distribution may be enhanced by having a mixture of larger and smaller particles within the operative range, and it is particularly desirable to have a significant amount of fines. Close control of distribution can be maintained to keep about 10 to 25 weight percent of the total catalyst in the reaction zone in the size range less than 32 microns. Accordingly, the fluidization regime is controlled to assure operation between the transition velocity and transport velocity. Fluidization conditions are substantially different from those found in non-turbulent dense beds or transport beds.
  • the reaction severity conditions can be controlled to optimize the yield of C 4 -C 9 aliphatic hydrocarbons. It is understood that aromatics and light paraffin production is promoted by the zeolite catalyst having a high concentration of Bronsted acid reaction sites. Accordingly, an important criterion in selecting and maintaining catalyst inventory is to provide either fresh catalyst having acid activity or by controlling catalyst deactivation and regeneration rates to provide an apparent average alpha range of about 15 to 80.
  • the temperature on the fluidized bed is maintained at about 315° to 510° C at a weight hourly feedstock space velocity (WHSV) (based on olefin equivalent and total reactor catalyst inventory) of about 0.1 to about 5.
  • WHSV weight hourly feedstock space velocity
