Definitions
- the present invention relates to jet fuels, or fuels for jet engines, and their process preparation.
- fuel for jet engines or jet fuel is produced from a fraction of kerosene obtained directly from atmospheric distillation crude oil and whose distillation points are between 140 and 300 ° C and, more typically, between 150 and 270 ° C. This fraction is then either processed in a desulfurization unit, or treated in a unit of transformation of mercaptans into disulfides.
- Another production route is that consisting of hydrocracking a fraction of the distillate under vacuum.
- the effluent fractionation provides a jet fuel which does not require further treatment.
- the jet fuel thus obtained has a power very weak lubricant and insufficient for its use at pure state in jet engines. Therefore, he must be mixed with other jet fuels, especially direct distillation jet fuels, which have a better lubricity and thus compensate for this insufficiency.
- Jet fuels are used to power aircraft turbojet and propellant burners.
- jet fuels must have certain characteristics.
- Jet A1 jet fuel which is the most commonly used jet fuel in civil aviation, must imperatively have a content of sulfur less than 0.30% by weight, a content of compounds aromatics less than 22% by volume, a flash point greater than 38 ° C, a smoke point greater than 25 mm, and a defrost point below - 47 ° C.
- jet fuels According to the ways of production of the prior art, jet fuels have similar energy qualities and calorific value lower volume whose value is less than 34.60 Mj / liter.
- Other characteristics of jet fuel Jet A1 are given in Table 6 appearing in the continuation of this description, after examples of setting of the invention, this Table 6 also bringing together characteristics of the jet fuels produced in these examples.
- This jet fuel is present (see Table in column 3) a freezing point below -76 ° F, or -60 ° C. This value is however still too high.
- refineries whose conversion mode is consisting of catalytic cracking have only jet fuel from direct distillation.
- catalytic cracking effluents contain very large quantities of aromatics, olefins, and sulfur products.
- dearomatization catalysts which are based on platinum, are very sensitive to sulfur, it is necessary to remove the sulfur products by a prior hydrotreatment.
- the jet fuel according to the invention has a lower calorific value between 34.65 and 35.30 Mj / liter.
- the jet fuel according to the invention is therefore different from the jet fuels of the prior art, in especially regarding its higher calorific value high, so that it allows volume consumption lower than that of jet fuel of the prior art.
- the invention also aims to provide a new method for the manufacture of this jet fuel with properties improved.
- This process is new and original by the fact that it does not use the conventional production lines of jet fuel. It allows additional production jet fuel in a refinery, in addition to to that produced by atmospheric distillation cutting crude oil.
- This process makes it possible to obtain a jet fuel from a cut from the fractionation of the effluent from a catalytic cracking unit.
- the valuation in jet fuel from a catalytic point cracking cup distillation between 140 and 300 ° C is possible.
- the catalytic cracking cut is preferably treated in two stages: a hydrotreatment stage and a aromatization.
- this catalytic cracking cut has an olefin content of between 20 and 45% and a aromatic content between 40 and 70%, by compared to the total volume.
- the purpose of the hydrotreatment step is to desulfurize, de-nitrogen and hydrogenate olefins from the cracked cut catalytic. If the denitrogenation of the charge caused during of the hydrotreatment step is weak or insufficient, a additional denitrogenation step will be incorporated into process diagram.
- the cut resulting from catalytic cracking has properties very different from those that allow obtaining jet fuels of the prior art.
- jet fuel of the invention has characteristics that stand out from those of jet fuels obtained by the usual routes.
- the jet fuel according to the invention thus exhibits improved combustion properties in engines with reaction. Indeed, it has a high concentration of polycyclic naphthenes versus concentration total in naphthenes of jet fuel, which results in a substantial gain in volume energy and greater than 0.5%. Consequently, under identical conditions, the volume consumed of jet fuel according to the invention will be lower than that of a jet fuel of the prior art.
- the jet fuel according to the invention generally has a cis decaline / trans decaline ratio greater than 0.2, and preferably greater than 0.3.
- the cracked cut catalytic from which the jet fuel is derived is rich in olefins, and in particular dicycloolefins, which are precursors of cis decalin.
- the jet fuel according to the invention also has preferably a naphthalene / trans decaline ratio lower than 0.05. Indeed, the hydrogenation step in accordance with the process according to the invention, transforms the vast majority of Naphthalenes present in decalins.
- the jet fuel according to the invention has a naphthenes / paraffins ratio of between 1.2 and 2.
- the jet fuel according to the invention has very good cold resistance properties and higher than that required for Jet A1 jet fuel. Therefore, the jet fuel according to the invention can be advantageously used in severe conditions of cold, especially in the field of military aviation.
- jet fuel of the invention can be mixed to other jet fuel bases, which allows the if necessary, to improve the properties of carburetors, including their energy qualities, while respecting the standards required for a Jet A1 jet fuel.
- the hydrotreatment step of the cracked cup catalytic is carried out in the presence of a catalyst arranged as one or more fixed beds in a reactor.
- the catalyst consists of at least one metal hydrogenating and / or hydrogenolysing deposited on a support substantially neutral, for example catalysts based on nickel and molybdenum such as catalyst TK 525 of the Haldor Topsoe or HR 348 catalyst from the company Procatalysis.
- reaction temperature is generally between 250 and 350 ° C, under a minimum pressure of 30.10 5 Pascals (30 bars), with an hourly volume speed of approximately 1 to 5 h -1 , the volume ratio hydrogen / hydrocarbons to l 'reactor inlet being between 100 and 500 Nm 3 / m 3 and preferably between 200 to 300 Nm 3 / m 3 .
- the temperature is around 280 ° C, under a pressure of 35.10 5 Pascals.
- the hydrotreatment step generates reactions strongly exothermic.
- a person skilled in the art will adjust various factors, in particular, the temperature at the reactor inlet, the hydrogen / hydrocarbons, and the amount of olefins in the feed.
- a diluent such as a reactor recycle or, preferably kerosene from distillation atmospheric crude oil can be optionally mixed with the filler to decrease its concentration in olefins.
- a quenching fluid can be injected between said beds, its nature, its flow and its temperature being selected to control the exothermicity of the reactions of this hydrotreatment step.
- a recycle of the unit, hydrogen or, preferably atmospheric distillation kerosene, can constitute the quenching fluid.
- the partial aromatization reaction of the effluent from the desulfurization unit is carried out in the presence of a catalyst, for example in the form of one or several fixed beds in a reactor.
- a catalyst for example in the form of one or several fixed beds in a reactor.
- the catalyst used is selected according to the operating conditions of reactor.
- the catalyst can be a thioresistant catalyst, consisting of at least one noble hydrogenating metal deposited on a substantially acid support, this noble metal possibly being in particular platinum or palladium.
- thioresistant catalysts such as LD 402 catalysts from Procatalyse, AS-100 from Criterion and TK 908 by Haldor Topsoe can be used for this purpose.
- the catalyst used can also be a catalyst based on nickel, which turns out to be an interesting route, because more economical than that using catalysts containing platinum or palladium.
- catalysts such as HTC 400 and HTC 500 from Crosfield and C46-7-03 and L3427 from Süd-Chemie can be used.
- Crosfield's HTC 400 catalyst is employed.
- the reaction temperature is generally between 200 and 300 ° C, under a minimum pressure of 30.10 5 Pa, with an hourly volume speed of 1 to 5 h -1 , the ratio volume hydrogen / hydrocarbons at the inlet of the reactor being between 500 and 900 Nm 3 / m 3 , preferably 600 Nm 3 / m 3 (Nm 3 here means Normal m 3.
- Nm 3 here means Normal m 3.
- 1 Normal m 3 corresponds to 1m 3 of gas in standard conditions of temperature and pressure, i.e. 0 ° C and 1 atmosphere - 1.01325.10 5 Pa).
- the temperature is approximately 240 ° C., under a pressure substantially of 50 ⁇ 10 5 Pa.
- the reaction temperature is generally between 100 and 200 ° C, under a minimum pressure of 30.10 5 Pa, with an hourly volume speed of 1 to 5 h -1 , the ratio volume hydrogen / hydrocarbons at the inlet of the reactor being between 600 and 1000 Nm 3 / m 3 , preferably equal to 800 Nm 3 / m 3 .
- the temperature is approximately 160 ° C., under a pressure substantially of 50 ⁇ 10 5 Pa.
- the catalyst of the stage of aromatherapy is arranged in several beds, between which is injected with a quenching fluid to control the exothermicity of the aromatization reaction.
- a complementary step of denitration can be carried out before that of aromatization.
- certain catalysts of aromatics are sensitive to nitrogen, which causes their deactivation. Therefore, if the catalyst selected hydrotreatment did not reduce the nitrogen content of the feed, it must be treated in order to have a very low nitrogen content of the order of 10 ppm.
- This treatment can be carried out by different means such as a conventional nitrogen trap containing a mass denim.
- washing of the step effluent hydrotreatment is required to remove ammonia and dissolved hydrogen sulfide which are factors limiting or poisoning for certain types of dearomatization catalysts.
- alumina catalyst having a specific surface of 220 m 2 / g, a pore volume of 0.5 cm 3 / g, containing, in% by weight, 4.2% of nickel oxide and 16 , 5% molybdenum.

- the operating conditions are appreciably similar to those indicated on page 764 of the book “Refining and chemical engineering "by P. Wuithier, IFP, volume 1, edition of 1972.
- the freezing points of Examples 1 and 3 are, in particular, much lower than the minimum required, that is to say less than -47 ° C, and therefore allow potential use of these jet fuels in extreme cold conditions.
- the lower calorific power of the jet fuels obtained according to the invention is particularly high compared to those of the prior art.

Description
La présente invention concerne des carburéacteurs, ou carburants pour moteur à réaction, et leur procédé de préparation.The present invention relates to jet fuels, or fuels for jet engines, and their process preparation.
De nombreux procédés ont été proposés pour la fabrication de carburants pour moteur à réaction, à partir d'une grande gamme de matières premières.Many methods have been proposed for the manufacture of fuels for jet engines, from a wide range of raw materials.
En général, le carburant pour moteur à réaction ou carburéacteur est produit à partir d'une fraction de kérosène issue directement de la distillation atmosphérique du pétrole brut et dont les points de distillation sont compris entre 140 et 300°C et, plus typiquement, entre 150 et 270°C. Cette fraction est alors soit traitée dans une unité de désulfuration, soit traitée dans une unité de transformation des mercaptans en disulfures.In general, fuel for jet engines or jet fuel is produced from a fraction of kerosene obtained directly from atmospheric distillation crude oil and whose distillation points are between 140 and 300 ° C and, more typically, between 150 and 270 ° C. This fraction is then either processed in a desulfurization unit, or treated in a unit of transformation of mercaptans into disulfides.
Une autre voie de production est celle consistant en l'hydrocraquage d'une fraction du distillat sous vide. Le fractionnement des effluents permet d'obtenir un carburéacteur qui ne nécessite pas d'autres traitements. Toutefois, le carburéacteur ainsi obtenu possède un pouvoir lubrifiant très faible et insuffisant pour son utilisation à l'état pur dans les moteurs à réaction. De ce fait, il doit être mélangé à d'autres carburéacteurs, en particulier aux carburéacteurs de distillation directe, qui possèdent un meilleur pouvoir lubrifiant et compensent ainsi cette insuffisance.Another production route is that consisting of hydrocracking a fraction of the distillate under vacuum. The effluent fractionation provides a jet fuel which does not require further treatment. However, the jet fuel thus obtained has a power very weak lubricant and insufficient for its use at pure state in jet engines. Therefore, he must be mixed with other jet fuels, especially direct distillation jet fuels, which have a better lubricity and thus compensate for this insufficiency.
Les carburéacteurs sont destinés à alimenter les brûleurs des turboréacteurs et propulseurs d'avions. A cet effet, les carburéacteurs doivent posséder certaines caractéristiques. Notamment, le carburéacteur Jet A1, qui est le carburéacteur le plus communément utilisé dans l'aviation civile, doit impérativement avoir une teneur en soufre inférieure à 0,30 % en poids, une teneur en composés aromatiques inférieure à 22% en volume, un point d'éclair supérieur à 38°C, un point de fumée supérieur à 25 mm, et un point de décongélation inférieur à - 47 °C. Selon les voies de production de l'art antérieur, les carburéacteurs ont des qualités énergétiques similaires et un pouvoir calorifique inférieur volumique dont la valeur est inférieure à 34,60 Mj/litre. D'autres caractéristiques du carburéacteur Jet A1 sont données dans le Tableau 6 apparaissant dans la suite de la présente description, après des exemples de mise de oeuvre de l'invention, ce Tableau 6 rassemblant également des caractéristiques des carburéacteurs produits dans ces exemples.Jet fuels are used to power aircraft turbojet and propellant burners. In this Indeed, jet fuels must have certain characteristics. In particular, Jet A1 jet fuel, which is the most commonly used jet fuel in civil aviation, must imperatively have a content of sulfur less than 0.30% by weight, a content of compounds aromatics less than 22% by volume, a flash point greater than 38 ° C, a smoke point greater than 25 mm, and a defrost point below - 47 ° C. According to the ways of production of the prior art, jet fuels have similar energy qualities and calorific value lower volume whose value is less than 34.60 Mj / liter. Other characteristics of jet fuel Jet A1 are given in Table 6 appearing in the continuation of this description, after examples of setting of the invention, this Table 6 also bringing together characteristics of the jet fuels produced in these examples.
Le brevet américain US-A-3 175 970 fait état (cf. Tableau
de la colonne 3) d'un carburéacteur ("Jet Fuel") ayant les
caractéristiques suivantes :
Ce carburéacteur présente (cf. Tableau de la colonne 3) un point de congélation inférieur à -76°F, soit -60°C. Cette valeur est cependant encore trop élevée.This jet fuel is present (see Table in column 3) a freezing point below -76 ° F, or -60 ° C. This value is however still too high.
Les demandes en carburéacteur sont croissantes et les moyens de production de carburéacteur sont limités au sein d'une raffinerie classique. Les unités d'hydrocraquage sont extrêmement onéreuses et les quantités de carburéacteurs issues de la distillation atmosphérique de pétrole brut sont limitées et dépendent de la qualité des pétroles bruts.The demand for jet fuel is growing and the means of jet fuel production are limited within of a classic refinery. Hydrocracking units are extremely expensive and the quantities of jet fuel from atmospheric crude oil distillation are limited and depend on the quality of crude oils.
De plus, les raffineries dont le mode de conversion est constitué par le craquage catalytique, ne disposent que de carburéacteurs issus d'une distillation directe.In addition, refineries whose conversion mode is consisting of catalytic cracking, have only jet fuel from direct distillation.
En effet, les effluents de craquage catalytique contiennent des quantités très importnates d'aromatiques, oléfines, et de produits soufrés.Indeed, the catalytic cracking effluents contain very large quantities of aromatics, olefins, and sulfur products.
Etant donné que les catalyseurs de déaromatisation, qui sont à base de platine, sont très sensibles aux soufres, il est nécessaire d'éliminer les produits soufrés par un hydrotraitement préalable.Since the dearomatization catalysts, which are based on platinum, are very sensitive to sulfur, it is necessary to remove the sulfur products by a prior hydrotreatment.
Toutefois, cette opération d'hydrotraitement est rendue très difficile du fait de son exothermicité. However, this hydrotreatment operation is made very difficult due to its exothermicity.
En essayant de résoudre ce problème rencontré dans l'art antérieur, la Demanderesse a découvert qu'il était possible de produire du carburéacteur à partir d'une coupe issue du craquage catalytique.When trying to solve this problem encountered in prior art, the Applicant has discovered that it is possible to produce jet fuel from a cut from catalytic cracking.
La Demanderesse a en outre découvert que, de façon
surprenante, le carburéacteur produit par craquage
catalytique (c'est-à-dire un craquage à haute température,
en présence d'un catalyseur et sans hydrogène) puis
hydrotraitement, était différent de celui obtenu par
craquage en présence d'hydrogène (hydrocraquage) et de
qualité supérieure à ce dernier.
Ainsi, la Demanderesse a mis au point un carburéacteur se
caractérisant en ce qu'il possède :
Thus, the Applicant has developed a jet fuel characterized in that it has:
De préférence, le carburéacteur selon l'invention a un pouvoir calorifique volumique inférieur compris entre 34,65 et 35,30 Mj/litre.Preferably, the jet fuel according to the invention has a lower calorific value between 34.65 and 35.30 Mj / liter.
Le carburéacteur conforme à l'invention est donc différent des carburéacteurs de l'art antérieur, en particulier en ce qui concerne son pouvoir calorifique plus élevé, de sorte qu'il permet une consommation en volume inférieure à celle des carburéacteurs de l'art antérieur.The jet fuel according to the invention is therefore different from the jet fuels of the prior art, in especially regarding its higher calorific value high, so that it allows volume consumption lower than that of jet fuel of the prior art.
L'invention vise également à apporter un nouveau procédé pour la fabrication de ce carburéacteur aux propriétés améliorées. Ce procédé est nouveau et original par le fait qu'il n'utilise pas les voies classiques de production de carburéacteur. Il permet ainsi une production supplémentaire de carburéacteur au sein d'une raffinerie, venant s'ajouter à celui produit par la coupe de distillation atmosphérique du pétrole brut.The invention also aims to provide a new method for the manufacture of this jet fuel with properties improved. This process is new and original by the fact that it does not use the conventional production lines of jet fuel. It allows additional production jet fuel in a refinery, in addition to to that produced by atmospheric distillation cutting crude oil.
Ce procédé permet d'obtenir un carburéacteur à partir d'une coupe provenant du fractionnement de l'effluent d'une unité de craquage catalytique. Ainsi, la valorisation en carburéacteur d'une coupe de craquage catalytique de points de distillation compris entre 140 et 300 °C est possible.This process makes it possible to obtain a jet fuel from a cut from the fractionation of the effluent from a catalytic cracking unit. Thus, the valuation in jet fuel from a catalytic point cracking cup distillation between 140 and 300 ° C is possible.
Néanmoins, cette coupe issue d'une unité de craquage catalytique nécessite généralement un certain nombre de traitements spécifiques avant de devenir un carburéacteur présentant les caractéristiques requises pour son homologation.However, this cut from a cracking unit catalytic generally requires a number of specific treatments before becoming a jet fuel having the characteristics required for its approval.
Différents traitements de la coupe de craquage catalytique peuvent être envisagés pour obtenir le carburéacteur. Toutefois, conformément à l'invention, la coupe de craquage catalytique est traitée de préférence en deux étapes : une étape d'hydrotraitement et une étape de déaromatisation.Different treatments of the cracked cut catalytic can be considered to obtain the jet fuel. However, in accordance with the invention, the catalytic cracking cut is preferably treated in two stages: a hydrotreatment stage and a aromatization.
Habituellement, cette coupe de craquage catalytique a une teneur en oléfines comprise entre 20 et 45% et une teneur en composés aromatiques comprise entre 40 et 70%, par rapport au volume total.Usually this catalytic cracking cut has an olefin content of between 20 and 45% and a aromatic content between 40 and 70%, by compared to the total volume.
Or, les spécifications des carburéacteurs limitent cette teneur en aromatiques à 22 % au maximum, ce qui nécessite une déaromatisation. De plus, étant donné que le catalyseur de déaromatisation est particulièrement sensible aux polluants, il est nécessaire d'opérer un hydrotraitement préalable à la déaromatisation.However, the specifications of jet fuels limit this aromatic content up to 22%, which requires a flavoring. In addition, since the catalyst is particularly sensitive to pollutants, it is necessary to operate a hydrotreatment prearromatization.
L'étape d'hydrotraitement a pour but de désulfurer, déazoter et hydrogéner les oléfines de la coupe de craquage catalytique. Si la déazotation de la charge occasionnée lors de l'étape d'hydrotraitement est faible ou insuffisante, une étape complémentaire de déazotation sera incorporée au schéma du procédé.The purpose of the hydrotreatment step is to desulfurize, de-nitrogen and hydrogenate olefins from the cracked cut catalytic. If the denitrogenation of the charge caused during of the hydrotreatment step is weak or insufficient, a additional denitrogenation step will be incorporated into process diagram.
La coupe issue du craquage catalytique possède des propriétés très différentes de celles qui permettent l'obtention des carburéacteurs de l'art antérieur.The cut resulting from catalytic cracking has properties very different from those that allow obtaining jet fuels of the prior art.
Ainsi, elle recèle plus d'oléfines que la coupe issue de la distillation atmosphérique directe, et diffère en outre de la coupe en charge de l'hydrocraquage qui est un distillat sous vide à plus haut point d'ébullition.Thus, it contains more olefins than the cut from direct atmospheric distillation, and further differs of the hydrocracking charge cut which is a distillate under vacuum with higher boiling point.
Ceci explique que le carburéacteur de l'invention présente des caractéristiques se démarquant de celles des carburéacteurs obtenus par les voies habituelles.This explains why the jet fuel of the invention has characteristics that stand out from those of jet fuels obtained by the usual routes.
Le carburéacteur selon l'invention présente ainsi des propriétés de combustion améliorées dans les moteurs à réaction. En effet, il comporte une concentration élevée en naphtènes polycycliques par rapport à la concentration totale en naphtènes du carburéacteur, ce qui se traduit par un gain en énergie volumique substantiel et supérieur à 0,5%. Par conséquent, dans des conditions identiques, le volume consommé du carburéacteur conforme à l'invention sera inférieur à celui d'un carburéacteur de l'art antérieur.The jet fuel according to the invention thus exhibits improved combustion properties in engines with reaction. Indeed, it has a high concentration of polycyclic naphthenes versus concentration total in naphthenes of jet fuel, which results in a substantial gain in volume energy and greater than 0.5%. Consequently, under identical conditions, the volume consumed of jet fuel according to the invention will be lower than that of a jet fuel of the prior art.
Le carburéacteur selon l'invention possède généralement un rapport cis décaline/trans décaline supérieur à 0,2, et de préférence supérieur à 0,3.The jet fuel according to the invention generally has a cis decaline / trans decaline ratio greater than 0.2, and preferably greater than 0.3.
Ceci provient du fait que la coupe de craquage catalytique dont est issu le carburéacteur, est riche en oléfines, et en particulier en dicyclooléfines, qui sont des précurseurs de cis décaline.This is because the cracked cut catalytic from which the jet fuel is derived, is rich in olefins, and in particular dicycloolefins, which are precursors of cis decalin.
Le carburéacteur selon l'invention possède en outre de préférence un rapport naphtalène/trans décaline inférieur à 0,05 . En effet, l'étape d'hydrogénation conforme au procédé selon l'invention, transforme la grande majorité des naphtalènes présent en décalines.The jet fuel according to the invention also has preferably a naphthalene / trans decaline ratio lower than 0.05. Indeed, the hydrogenation step in accordance with the process according to the invention, transforms the vast majority of Naphthalenes present in decalins.
Le carburéacteur selon l'invention présente un rapport naphtènes / paraffines compris entre 1,2 et 2.The jet fuel according to the invention has a naphthenes / paraffins ratio of between 1.2 and 2.
De plus, le carburéacteur selon l'invention a des propriétés de tenue au froid de très bonne qualité et supérieures à celle requises pour le carburéacteur Jet A1. De ce fait, le carburéacteur selon l'invention peut être avantageusement utilisé dans des conditions sévères de froid, notamment dans le domaine de l'aviation militaire.In addition, the jet fuel according to the invention has very good cold resistance properties and higher than that required for Jet A1 jet fuel. Therefore, the jet fuel according to the invention can be advantageously used in severe conditions of cold, especially in the field of military aviation.
En outre, le carburéacteur de l'invention est mélangeable à d'autres bases de carburéacteurs, ce qui permet, le cas échéant, d'améliorer les propriétés de carbu-réacteurs, notamment leurs qualités énergétiques, tout en respectant les normes requises pour un carburéacteur Jet A1.In addition, the jet fuel of the invention can be mixed to other jet fuel bases, which allows the if necessary, to improve the properties of carburetors, including their energy qualities, while respecting the standards required for a Jet A1 jet fuel.
Le procédé de préparation du carburéacteur conforme à l'invention, va maintenant être explicité.The process for the preparation of jet fuel in accordance with the invention will now be explained.
L'étape d'hydrotraitement de la coupe de craquage catalytique est effectuée en présence d'un catalyseur disposé sous forme d'un ou plusieurs lits fixes dans un réacteur. Le catalyseur est constitué par au moins un métal hydrogénant et/ou hydrogénolysant déposé sur un support sensiblement neutre, par exemple les catalyseurs à base de nickel et molybdène tels que le catalyseur TK 525 de la société Haldor Topsoe ou le catalyseur HR 348 de la société Procatalyse.The hydrotreatment step of the cracked cup catalytic is carried out in the presence of a catalyst arranged as one or more fixed beds in a reactor. The catalyst consists of at least one metal hydrogenating and / or hydrogenolysing deposited on a support substantially neutral, for example catalysts based on nickel and molybdenum such as catalyst TK 525 of the Haldor Topsoe or HR 348 catalyst from the company Procatalysis.
D'autres types de catalyseurs peuvent être utilisés, notamment les catalyseurs à base de cobalt et de molybdène HR 306 et HR 316 de la société Procatalyse, KF 752 de la société Akzo, et TK 524 et TK 554 de la société Haldor Topsoe. La température de réaction est généralement comprise entre 250 et 350°C, sous une pression minimum de 30.105 Pascals (30 bars), avec une vitesse volumique horaire d'environ 1 à 5 h-1, le rapport volumique hydrogène/ hydrocarbures à l'entrée du réacteur étant compris entre 100 et 500 Nm3/m3 et, de préférence, entre 200 à 300 Nm3/m3. Avantageusement, la température est d'environ 280°C, sous une pression de 35.105 Pascals.Other types of catalysts can be used, in particular cobalt and molybdenum catalysts HR 306 and HR 316 from the company Procatalyse, KF 752 from the company Akzo, and TK 524 and TK 554 from the company Haldor Topsoe. The reaction temperature is generally between 250 and 350 ° C, under a minimum pressure of 30.10 5 Pascals (30 bars), with an hourly volume speed of approximately 1 to 5 h -1 , the volume ratio hydrogen / hydrocarbons to l 'reactor inlet being between 100 and 500 Nm 3 / m 3 and preferably between 200 to 300 Nm 3 / m 3 . Advantageously, the temperature is around 280 ° C, under a pressure of 35.10 5 Pascals.
L'étape d'hydrotraitement engendre des réactions fortement exothermiques. Afin de contrôler ce phénomène, l'homme de l'art ajustera différents facteurs, notamment, la température à l'entrée du réacteur, le rapport hydrogène/ hydrocarbures, et la quantité d'oléfines dans la charge. Un diluant tel qu'un recycle du réacteur ou, préférentiellement, du kérosène issu de la distillation atmosphérique de pétrole brut peut être optionnellement mélangé à la charge pour diminuer sa concentration en oléfines.The hydrotreatment step generates reactions strongly exothermic. In order to control this phenomenon, a person skilled in the art will adjust various factors, in particular, the temperature at the reactor inlet, the hydrogen / hydrocarbons, and the amount of olefins in the feed. A diluent such as a reactor recycle or, preferably kerosene from distillation atmospheric crude oil can be optionally mixed with the filler to decrease its concentration in olefins.
Dans le cas d'un réacteur où le catalyseur est disposé en plusieurs lits fixes, un fluide de trempe peut être injecté entre les dits lits, sa nature, son débit et sa température étant sélectionnés pour contrôler l'exothermicité des réactions de cette étape d'hydrotraitement. Un recycle de l'unité, de l'hydrogène ou, de préférence, du kérosène de distillation atmosphérique, peuvent constituer le fluide de trempe.In the case of a reactor where the catalyst is placed in several fixed beds, a quenching fluid can be injected between said beds, its nature, its flow and its temperature being selected to control the exothermicity of the reactions of this hydrotreatment step. A recycle of the unit, hydrogen or, preferably atmospheric distillation kerosene, can constitute the quenching fluid.
La réaction de déaromatisation partielle de l'effluent issu de l'unité de désulfuration est effectuée en présence d'un catalyseur disposé par exemple sous forme d'un ou plusieurs lits fixes dans un réacteur. Le catalyseur utilisé est sélectionné selon les conditions opératoires du réacteur.The partial aromatization reaction of the effluent from the desulfurization unit is carried out in the presence of a catalyst, for example in the form of one or several fixed beds in a reactor. The catalyst used is selected according to the operating conditions of reactor.
Le catalyseur peut être un catalyseur thiorésistant, constitué par au moins un métal noble hydrogénant déposé sur un support sensiblement acide, ce métal noble pouvant être en particulier du platine ou du palladium. A titre d'exemples, les catalyseurs thiorésistants tels que les catalyseurs LD 402 de Procatalyse, AS-100 de Critérion et TK 908 de Haldor Topsoe peuvent être utilisés à cette fin.The catalyst can be a thioresistant catalyst, consisting of at least one noble hydrogenating metal deposited on a substantially acid support, this noble metal possibly being in particular platinum or palladium. As examples, thioresistant catalysts such as LD 402 catalysts from Procatalyse, AS-100 from Criterion and TK 908 by Haldor Topsoe can be used for this purpose.
Le catalyseur utilisé peut être également un catalyseur à base de nickel, ce qui s'avère être une voie intéressante, car plus économique que celle utilisant les catalyseurs contenant du platine ou du palladium. A titre d'exemples, les catalyseurs tels que les catalyseurs HTC 400 et HTC 500 de Crosfield et C46-7-03 et L3427 de Süd-Chemie peuvent être utilisés. De préférence, le catalyseur HTC 400 de Crosfield est employé.The catalyst used can also be a catalyst based on nickel, which turns out to be an interesting route, because more economical than that using catalysts containing platinum or palladium. As examples, catalysts such as HTC 400 and HTC 500 from Crosfield and C46-7-03 and L3427 from Süd-Chemie can be used. Preferably Crosfield's HTC 400 catalyst is employed.
Dans le cas d'un catalyseur contenant un métal noble, la température de réaction est généralement comprise entre 200 et 300°C, sous une pression minimum de 30.105 Pa, avec une vitesse volumique horaire de 1 à 5 h-1, le rapport volumique hydrogène/hydrocarbures à l'entrée du réacteur étant compris entre 500 et 900 Nm3/m3, de préférence 600 Nm3/m3 (Nm3 signifie ici Normal m3. 1 Normal m3 correspond à 1m3 de gaz dans les conditions standards de température et de pression, c'est-à-dire 0°C et 1 atmosphère - 1,01325.105 Pa). Avantageusement, la température est d'environ 240°C, sous une pression sensiblement de 50.105 Pa.In the case of a catalyst containing a noble metal, the reaction temperature is generally between 200 and 300 ° C, under a minimum pressure of 30.10 5 Pa, with an hourly volume speed of 1 to 5 h -1 , the ratio volume hydrogen / hydrocarbons at the inlet of the reactor being between 500 and 900 Nm 3 / m 3 , preferably 600 Nm 3 / m 3 (Nm 3 here means Normal m 3. 1 Normal m 3 corresponds to 1m 3 of gas in standard conditions of temperature and pressure, i.e. 0 ° C and 1 atmosphere - 1.01325.10 5 Pa). Advantageously, the temperature is approximately 240 ° C., under a pressure substantially of 50 × 10 5 Pa.
Dans le cas d'un catalyseur à base de nickel, la température de réaction est généralement comprise entre 100 et 200°C, sous une pression minimum de 30.105 Pa, avec une vitesse volumique horaire de 1 à 5 h-1, le rapport volumique hydrogène/hydrocarbures à l'entrée du réacteur étant compris entre 600 et 1000 Nm3/m3, de préférence égal à 800 Nm3/m3. Avantageusement, la température est d'environ 160°C, sous une pression sensiblement de 50.105 Pa. In the case of a nickel-based catalyst, the reaction temperature is generally between 100 and 200 ° C, under a minimum pressure of 30.10 5 Pa, with an hourly volume speed of 1 to 5 h -1 , the ratio volume hydrogen / hydrocarbons at the inlet of the reactor being between 600 and 1000 Nm 3 / m 3 , preferably equal to 800 Nm 3 / m 3 . Advantageously, the temperature is approximately 160 ° C., under a pressure substantially of 50 × 10 5 Pa.
De préférence, le catalyseur de l'étape de déaromatisation est disposé en plusieurs lits, entre lesquels est injecté un fluide de trempe pour contrôler l'exothermicité de la réaction de déaromatisation.Preferably, the catalyst of the stage of aromatherapy is arranged in several beds, between which is injected with a quenching fluid to control the exothermicity of the aromatization reaction.
Selon les types de catalyseurs utilisés pour les deux étapes décrites ci-dessus, une étape complémentaire de déazotation peut être effectuée avant celle de déaromatisation. En effet, certains catalyseurs de déaromatisation sont sensibles à l'azote, ce qui entraíne leur désactivation. De ce fait, si le catalyseur d'hydrotraitement sélectionné n'a pas réduit suffisamment la teneur en azote de la charge, celle-ci doit être traitée afin d'avoir une teneur en azote très faible de l'ordre de 10 ppm. Ce traitement peut être effectué par différents moyens tel qu'un piège classique à azote contenant une masse déazotante.Depending on the types of catalysts used for both steps described above, a complementary step of denitration can be carried out before that of aromatization. Indeed, certain catalysts of aromatics are sensitive to nitrogen, which causes their deactivation. Therefore, if the catalyst selected hydrotreatment did not reduce the nitrogen content of the feed, it must be treated in order to have a very low nitrogen content of the order of 10 ppm. This treatment can be carried out by different means such as a conventional nitrogen trap containing a mass denim.
Selon le type de catalyseur utilisé dans l'étape de déaromatisation, un lavage de l'effluent de l'étape d'hydrotraitement est nécessaire afin d'éliminer l'ammoniac et le sulfure d'hydrogène dissous qui sont des facteurs limitants ou empoisonnants pour certains types de catalyseurs de déaromatisation.Depending on the type of catalyst used in the aromatization, washing of the step effluent hydrotreatment is required to remove ammonia and dissolved hydrogen sulfide which are factors limiting or poisoning for certain types of dearomatization catalysts.
Les exemples ci-après illustrent différents modes de préparation de carburéacteurs selon l'art antérieur et selon l'invention. Ils n'ont pas de caractère limitatif et sont destinés à illustrer les avantages des carburéacteurs selon l'invention telle que définie dans les revendications.The examples below illustrate different modes of preparation of jet fuel according to the prior art and according to the invention. They are not limiting in nature and are intended to illustrate the advantages of jet fuels according to the invention as defined in the claims.
Dans ces exemples, on se réfèrera à la figure unique du dessin annexé, qui représente diverses courbes de distillation de carburéacteurs décrites dans les exemples.In these examples, we will refer to the single figure of attached drawing, which represents various curves of distillation of jet fuels described in the examples.
Une charge, à points de distillation compris entre 150 et 250°C, provenant directement du fractionnement d'une unité de craquage catalytique, a été traitée en accord avec le procédé selon l'invention.One charge, at distillation points between 150 and 250 ° C, coming directly from the fractionation of a catalytic cracking unit, has been treated in accordance with the method according to the invention.

Les points de congélation des exemples 1 et 3 sont, en particulier, très inférieurs au minimum requis, c'est-à-dire inférieurs à -47°C, et permettent donc une utilisation potentielle de ces carburéacteurs dans des conditions extrêmes de froid. De plus, on note que le pouvoir calorifique volumique inférieur des carburéacteurs obtenus selon l'invention est particulièrement élevé par rapport à ceux de l'art antérieur. The freezing points of Examples 1 and 3 are, in particular, much lower than the minimum required, that is to say less than -47 ° C, and therefore allow potential use of these jet fuels in extreme cold conditions. In addition, it should be noted that the lower calorific power of the jet fuels obtained according to the invention is particularly high compared to those of the prior art.
