Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the pyrolysis of a hydrocarbon feedstock with at least two carbon atoms and simultaneously a process for decoking the coke deposited on the walls of the reactor.
- pyrolysis reactors made of ceramic material have been used in which non-watertight partitions advantageously made of ceramic material determine the channels in which the charge and the reaction effluents circulate.
- These partitions advantageously have a shape adapted to create turbulence and comprise for example cells or cavities at the level of the heating means. These are generally ducts containing an electric heater or a gas burner.
- a pyrolysis oven operating at a higher temperature should be decoked more often, every four to five days for example. During the decoking stage, this oven must be isolated. Unfortunately, there are no sealing valves operating between 800 and 900 ° C.
- a variant then consists in sending the effluent from the steam cracker, cooled after passing through a quench exchanger, into the pyrolysis oven, but the benefit of using hot gas is lost and the gain then becomes small. Furthermore, the dead volume of the quench exchanger promotes side reactions to the detriment of the ethylene yield.
- Another drawback is related to the frequency of decoking of the tubes, every two or three months. Indeed, at the end of the cycle, the interior of the tubes is covered with a thick layer of coke. Coke is liable to detach at times and is entrained by the gas flow at speeds of the order of 200 m / s, risking damage to the ceramic sheaths of the pyrolysis oven downstream from the steam cracking oven.
- An object of the invention is to provide a method for pyrolyzing a hydrocarbon feedstock without stopping the unit while allowing decoking of this unit.
- Another object is to reduce the investment and operating costs of the unit.
- Another object of the invention is to keep the temperature of the installation substantially constant during its operation, to avoid the thermal stresses which would not fail to occur, in particular when using a gas containing oxygen. for the decoking step which implements an exothermic reaction while the pyrolysis step implements an endothermic reaction.
- the invention relates to a continuous pyrolysis and decoking process in a reaction zone comprising a pyrolysis zone (40) made of refractory material, of elongated shape in a direction (an axis) comprising a heating zone and a cooling zone following the heating zone, the heating zone comprising at least two rows (1, 2) substantially parallel to the axis, separated by a partition (70), advantageously not leaktight, made of refractory material between two successive rows, at least one of said rows (1) receiving hydrocarbons and water vapor, at least one other (2) of said rows receiving essentially water vapor, said rows comprising heating means (8) surrounded by sheaths (7) substantially parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular to the axis of the reactor, coke depositing in the reaction zone, the process being characterized in that circulates a hydrocarbon charge containing at least one hydrocarbon containing at least two carbon atoms at an adequate steam cracking temperature in a steam cracking zone containing at least two steam cracking tubes,
- the decoking current is circulated in at least the other row of the heating zone so as to at least partially decoker said row and to have an outlet temperature of said zone heating at least 850 ° C and collecting hydrocarbons comprising at least one acetylene compound for example acetylene and a decoking effluent.
- the exit temperature from the steam cracking zone is generally lower than the exit temperature from the heating zone from the pyrolysis zone.
- the temperature in the steam cracking tube or tubes where the steam cracking takes place is advantageously maintained substantially equal to the temperature in the tube or tubes where the decoking takes place.
- the temperature in the row or rows where the pyrolysis of the gas stream leaving the steam cracking zone is carried out is advantageously maintained substantially equal to the temperature in the row or rows where the decoking takes place.
- the exit temperature from the heating zone relative to the hydrocarbons and the exit temperature from the heating zone relative to the decoking effluent are approximately 1000 to 1400 ° C.
- the quantity of water vapor introduced into the steam cracking zone, relative to that of the charge, in other words the weight ratio of water vapor to charge, for a determined charge is greater than that corresponding to conventional steam cracking of the same charge.
- the one which is most suitable for the pyrolysis reaction following the steam cracking reaction is generally adopted.
- this ratio is greater than 0.5 whereas it is usually around 0.2.
- the ratio is greater than 0.7 while it is usually about 0.5.
- the ratio is greater than 1, for example equal to 2 while it is usually close to 1.
- the choice of a high water vapor to charge ratio has the advantage of reducing the deposition of coke. This will not be able to grow significantly since it is planned to decoker every four or five days for example, that is to say at a frequency corresponding to that of decoking the pyrolysis reactor, at instead of decoking every two to three months in the case of industrial steam crackers.
- the hydrocarbon supply is cut off in the tube intended to be decoked and the water flow introduced is substantially increased so as not to cause excessive thermal disturbance in the gas preheating furnace. upstream of the steam cracking zone.
- the steam cracking furnace is usually heated by conventional gas burners, of the radiant burner type.
- the load is generally preheated between 300 and 400 ° C.
- the temperature of the steam cracking zone is usually at most equal to 900 ° C.
- the means for heating the pyrolysis reactor may be electrical resistances contained in sheaths as described in the above patents or they may consist of sheaths containing a gas burner as described in the applicant's patent application ( FR 2715583).
- Each row may comprise at least one layer of heating means surrounded by sheaths, substantially parallel to the axis of the reaction zone, these sheaths being substantially perpendicular to said axis.
- heating elements either electric or comprising gas burners, their number, the distance between them and their configuration are described in the patents cited above.
- a sheath gas containing hydrogen and / or water vapor and / or carbon monoxide and / or an inert gas could be used and moreover could diffuse from the inside towards the outside of the sheaths without disturbing the pyrolysis reaction and without disturbing the reaction of decoking.
- the collected hydrocarbons and the decoking effluent can be mixed before being introduced into the cooling zone.
- the collected hydrocarbons and the decoking effluent are cooled separately in their respective rows, located at the level of the cooling zone, then optionally mixed.
- the cooling zone is usually a zone of direct quenching by a cooling fluid, known to those skilled in the art, advantageously followed by an indirect contact exchanger generating steam (TLE: transfer line exchanger).
- TLE transfer line exchanger
- the installation has the advantage of being safe, reliable and easy to implement. It uses in the pyrolysis zone, refractory materials and more particularly ceramic materials known to those skilled in the art such as cordierite, mullite, silicon nitride or silicon carbide.
- the invention also relates to a continuous pyrolysis and decoking unit for the implementation in particular of the method according to the invention, comprising a pyrolysis reactor (40) of elongated shape in a direction (an axis) comprising at least two rows (1, 2) substantially parallel to the axis separated by a partition, (70) advantageously not leaktight, of refractory material between two successive rows, each row comprising a plurality of heating means (8) arranged in at least one layer of heating elements surrounded by sheaths (7) made of ceramic material substantially parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular to the axis of the reactor, at least one of the rows (1) being adapted to receive hydrocarbons and steam, at least one other ( 2) said rows being adapted to receive water vapor, said pyrolysis reactor comprising means for controlling and modulating heating connected to the heating means, the pyrolysis reactor further comprising cooling means (47) effluents produced in each row, said unit being characterized in that it comprises a steam cracking reactor (30)

It is found that decoking is almost complete after 14 hours in each tube and row where it is carried out and we immediately go back into a steam cracking reaction situation for the tube which has been decoked and pyrolysis for the row which has been decoked.
- An industrial ethane steam cracker effluent having operated at a temperature of 900 ° C. is used as the pyrolysis hydrocarbon charge, this effluent being cooled by indirect quenching to 450 ° C.
- This charge, introduced by line 10, is distributed between five lines (n ° 11, 13, 14, 15 and 16) corresponding as for the example above to the five rows working in pyrolysis (n ° 1, 3, 4 , 5 and 6).
- each row of the pyrolysis zone 258 kg / h of hydrocarbons and hydrogen and 86 kg / h of water from the conventional steam cracker are introduced and each line 17, 18, 19, 20 or 22, 378 kg / h of water.
- valve V2 of hydrocarbons being closed, 979 kg / h of water vapor are sent via the valve V11 and the line 21.
