Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the selective hydrogenation of a hydrocarbon fraction in a reactive column.
- the charge of the process according to the invention essentially comprises hydrocarbons having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, as well as hydrogen and optionally C 6 + hydrocarbons, comprising 6 or more carbon atoms.
- Said method makes it possible to hydrogenate the acetylenic compounds, the di- and polyolefins, without significantly affecting the monoolefins present in the feed.
- the selective hydrogenation stage is generally carried out after splitting said effluents into several sections. Each of the separate sections is then hydrogenated separately in a specific reactor.
- patent application WO96 / 06900 describes a process for the selective hydrogenation of cracked gas, in which the gas from a steam cracker is fractionated in order to remove the methane (C 1 ), then the compounds in C 2 and in C 3 (i.e. compounds containing 2 or 3 carbon atoms per molecule). The fraction containing the compounds C 4 (compounds comprising 4 carbon atoms) and the C 5 + (compounds comprising 5 or more carbon atoms) is then hydrogenated, and a fraction of the hydrogenated effluent recycled to the fractionation section.
- patent application WO 95/15934 describes a process in which a stream of hydrogen, on the one hand, and a stream of hydrocarbons, on the other hand, are brought separately to a hydrogenation reactor. These two separate streams can optionally be mixed just before entering the reactor.
- the prior art therefore describes processes in which all of the hydrogen is separated from a gas flow, either upstream or downstream of a hydrogenation unit.
- Complete separation upstream requires cryogenic units, which are very disadvantageous in terms of investment.
- the downstream separation implies that excess hydrogen flows through the hydrogenation reactor. This excess of hydrogen generates risks of runaway and makes the control of the reaction more complex.
- the present invention relates to a process for the selective hydrogenation of a hydrocarbon fraction in a reactive column (also called a catalytic column).
- a reactive column also called a catalytic column.
- the charge of the process according to the invention essentially comprises hydrocarbons having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and optionally C 6 + hydrocarbons.
- Said process makes it possible to hydrogenate acetylenic compounds, di- and polyolefins, without significantly affecting the monoolefins present in the feed.
- Said feed also includes hydrogen in variable quantity, depending on the upstream process from which it is derived (for example a steam cracking process, or thermal cracking, or catalytic cracking, or even pyrolysis).
- a partial separation of the hydrogen is carried out before selective hydrogenation.
- This partial separation is carried out from preferably by means of a membrane, rather than by cryogenics. Indeed, the cryogenic separation is better suited to substantially complete separation of charge hydrogen and requires much more investment important.
- the object of the present invention is the selective hydrogenation of a charge composed of C 2 + hydrocarbons (hydrocarbons containing at least 2 carbon atoms per molecule), that is to say the hydrogenation of acetylenic compounds, or di- or poly-olefins, contained in said charge.
- the process according to the invention is a process for the selective hydrogenation of a hydrocarbon feed containing hydrogen and C 2 + hydrocarbons, characterized in that it comprises at least one step of separation of a fraction of the hydrogen contained in the feed by means of a membrane (step a) and a step of selective hydrogenation of the effluent from step a in a reactive column (step b).
- the feedstock of the process according to the invention is a hydrocarbon feedstock containing also hydrogen and preferably from a production process steam cracking, or thermal cracking, or catalytic cracking, or pyrolysis.
- C n hydrocarbons or “C n cut” will be called a mixture of hydrocarbons having n carbon atoms per molecule, and “C n -C m cut” a mixture of hydrocarbons having n to m atoms of carbon per molecule.
- a C 1 -C 6 cut contains hydrocarbons having a number of carbon atoms per molecule between 1 and 6.
- the charge of the process according to the invention is for example a C 1 -C 6 cut (that is to say a cut containing hydrocarbons having 1 to 6 carbon atoms per molecule).
- Said filler can also be chosen from cuts C 1 -C 2 , C 1 -C 3 , C 1 -C 4 , C 1 -C 5 , C 1 -C 6 , C 2 -C 3 , C 2 -C 4 , C 2 -C 5 , C 2 -C 6 , C 3 -C 4 , C 3 -C 5 , C 3 -C 6 , C 4 -C 5 , C 4 -C 6 , C 5 -C 6 , or a mixture of said cuts, when said cuts or said mixture also contain hydrogen, optionally added or already present in said cut or said mixture. It is also possible to treat, in the process according to the invention, any charge containing hydrogen and at least 2 cuts chosen from the group consisting of cuts C 2 , C 3 , C 4 ,
- said charge may optionally contain C 6 + hydrocarbons, preferably at a content of less than 20% by weight, as well as methane (C 1 ).
- the feedstock of the process according to the invention contains hydrogen, methane, C 2 -C 6 hydrocarbons and C 6 + hydrocarbons.
- said charge comes from a process of steam cracking (steam-cracking according to English terminology) or thermal cracking (thermal cracking) or even pyrolysis (pyrolysis).
- membranes allow to perform a partial separation of the hydrogen contained in a charge hydrocarbon derived, for example, from a steam cracking or cracking process thermal, or catalytic cracking, or pyrolysis.
- step a makes it possible to obtain an effluent having the adequate composition in terms of hydrogen molar ratio on hydrocarbons to be hydrogenated (R ratio defined below).
- Said effluent can thus feed, preferably directly, a reactive column in which is placed a selective hydrogenation catalyst based on at least one metal chosen from preference among the metals of groups 8, 9 or 10 of the new classification periodic (group VIII of the old periodic classification).
- step b it may however be useful or even necessary to compress and / or reheat the effluent from step a, before operating the hydrogenation step (step b).
- the molar ratio: R hydrogen: (diolefins + polyolefins + acetylenics) the effluent which contains most of the hydrocarbons at the end of step a of the process according to the invention (retentate from the membrane separation process) is preferably between 0.5: 1 and 4: 1, more preferably between 0.8: 1 and 3: 1, even more preferably between 1: 1 and 3: 1 and very preferably between 1.1: 1 and 2.5: 1, or even possibly between 1 , 2: 1 and 1.8: 1.
- Gas permeation membranes allow separation of mixtures gaseous by selective transfer, under the effect of pressure differences, through a thin, continuous layer of a polymer, composite material (e.g. a polymer loaded with mineral crystallites), or through a ceramic or inorganic material.
- This gas permeation separation process can in particular be applied to separation of hydrogen.
- a retentate is obtained, which in this case is depleted in hydrogen, and contains most of the hydrocarbons initially present in the feed.
- the amount of hydrogen that can be collected in the permeate and its purity depend on several factors, including the composition of the gas to be separated, temperature, gas pressure feeding the membrane separation unit (permeation unit), the pressure at which the permeate is recovered, from the surface membrane used, as well as the permeability and selectivity of the membrane.
- Membrane separation techniques are generally easy to implement work, because the permeation units are most often modular, operated in continuous, consuming little energy. However, the investments they require are related to the cost of the membrane and modules. The units to membrane therefore have a scale factor unfavorable to the realization large units. However, in the case of the method according to the invention, the fluxes of loads to be treated are usually very important.
- a load from a steam cracking process it is common to treat loads whose flow rate is between several tens and several hundred tonnes per hour.
- a C 1 -C 6 steam cracking cut will be available at the outlet of the steam cracking unit at a flow rate of between a few tens of tonnes per hour and a few hundred tonnes per hour.
- the membranes which can be used in the process according to the invention must therefore be capable of treating such flows, while having a sufficient selectivity for the separation of hydrogen.
- any type of membrane can a priori be used in the process according to the invention.
- an organic membrane should preferably be used, since it has been found by the plaintiff that this type of membrane already makes it possible to treat high charge rates, with selectivity for hydrogen separation large and membrane surfaces compatible with use industrial.
- the usable mineral membranes in the process according to the invention will therefore preferably be chosen from the group consisting of: zeolites, membranes based on carbon fibers, membranes based on microporous silica deposited on a porous support, ceramic membranes and membranes comprising an alloy based on palladium.
- Organic membranes which can preferably be used in the process according to the invention preferably comprise a polymer such as for example at least one polymer chosen from the group consisting of: polyimides, polyaramides, polycarbonates, polysulfones, cellulose derivatives or fluorides of polyvinyl. It is in particular advantageous to preferably use membranes with based on polymers, in particular polyaramides, sold by the company MEDAL.
- organic membranes make it possible to treat very large charge flows, for example 90,000 m 3 per hour, and to obtain variable permeate flows depending on the operating pressures and the temperature used, for example 15,000 m 3 per hour. .
- Such separation can be carried out in compact modules having a floor area of the order of 7 m 2 .
- a permeate is therefore obtained containing the species having crossed the membrane, i.e. essentially hydrogen and small amounts of hydrocarbons, and a retentate depleted in hydrogen, but containing most of the hydrocarbons initially present in load.
- Step b of selective hydrogenation of diolefinic hydrocarbons, polyolefins and acetylenics is operated in a reactive column comprising at least one, preferably several fixed catalyst beds.
- any reactive column known to those skilled in the art can be used in the method according to the invention.
- a reactive column containing one or more beds of catalysts which are integrated into the structure of the distillation column. He is in particular possible to use the catalytic columns described in the patents US 5,368,691, US 5,523,062, FR 2,737,131, FR 2,737,132, EP-A-0 461 855
- step b according to the invention it is also possible to use for carrying out step b according to the invention at minus one reactor coupled with a distillation column (side reactor according to the Anglo-Saxon terminology).
- the catalytic zone can be partly internal and partly external to the column, or completely external to said column.
- a distillation column not comprising reaction zone that is to say comprising no catalyst, but in which takes part of the liquid from the column on a distillation tray to send it to a selective hydrogenation reactor comprising a catalyst in a fixed bed.
- the effluent from said reactor is then returned to the column distillation at the same or a neighboring tray, so as to ensure continuity in the distillation.
- said reactor external to a reactive column comprising at least one catalyst bed.
- Devices comprising at least one external reactor and usable in the process according to the invention are in particular described in US Patents 5,177,283, US 5,817,227 and US 5,888,355.
- the effluent obtained at the end of the process according to the invention essentially contains saturated hydrocarbons and mono-olefins. Any scheme known to those skilled in the art can be used for the separation of olefins contained in this effluent. Usable fractionation schemes with the method according to the invention are for example described in Ullman's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 5 th edition, Volume A10, pages 77 and 80.
- Said effluent can thus for example be fractionated in order to recover the mono-olefins contained in each of the cuts C n , by means of a demethanizer, followed by a de-ethanizer of the cut C2 + which makes it possible to separate a cut C 2 , then a depropanizer of the C 3 + cut, and possibly a debutanizer of the C 4 + cut and / or a depentanizer of the C 5 + cut. It is also possible to place the de-ethanizer upstream of the demethanizer or the depropanizer upstream of the de-ethanizer.
- the process according to the invention is therefore a process for the selective hydrogenation of a hydrocarbon feedstock containing hydrogen and C2 + hydrocarbons characterized in that it comprises at least one step of separation of a fraction of the hydrogen contained in said charge by means of a membrane (step a) and a selective hydrogenation step of the effluent from step a in a column reactive (step b).

- the molar ratio R in streams 5 and 7 is between 0.5: 1 and 4: 1, which makes it possible to selectively hydrogenate the diolefins, polyolefins and acetylenes to C 2 , C 3 , C 4 , C 5 or C 6 , and even C 6 + possibly contained in stream 7, without hydrogenating the mono-olefins.
- a heavy effluent 9 is recovered at least partially hydrogen.
