Definitions

  • the type of injection desired for short contact time arrangements has received particular attention in the above referenced patents.
  • the feed may be formed into a jet by an array of identical feed injection streams or by an extended orifice that uniformly contacts a stream of catalyst flowing in a compatible pattern.
  • the feed injection is arranged to shoot the feed into a relatively thin band of catalyst that falls in a direction perpendicular to the flow of jets.
  • This invention further limits contact time between catalyst and hydrocarbon in an arrangement for contacting relatively heavy hydrocarbon feeds and fluidized catalyst particles for ultra short periods of time.
  • this invention is a process for the fluidized catalytic cracking of a hydrocarbon feed.
  • the process injects catalyst particles and hydrocarbons from an injection point into a disengaging zone in a substantially horizontal direction.
  • a collection zone collects descending catalyst particles below the injection point.
  • a distance of at least 5 feet (1.5m) in the disengaging zone between the injection point and the collection zone provides a settling zone for continued separation of the catalyst and hydrocarbons vapors.
  • the process collects rising vapors and entrained catalyst particles from an upper portion of the discharge zone and transfers them to an inertial separation zone.
  • the inertial separation zone separates entrained catalyst from the rising vapors to provide a separated vapor stream and separated catalyst.
  • the process recovers hydrocarbons from a lower portion of the disengaging zone and the separated vapor stream.
  • a jet of a hydrocarbon-containing feed is injected - in a principally transverse direction - into a flowing layer of catalyst particles upstream of the injection point and at the periphery of the disengaging zone or outside of the disengaging zone.
  • a particularly useful form of this invention uses a standpipe as a location for a distributor nozzle arrangement that performs contacting of a hydrocarbon-containing stream with a falling layer of particulate material.
  • the injection of the jet of hydrocarbon-containing feed into the flowing layer of catalyst particles takes place in the confined conduit, but near the outlet of the conduit into the disengaging vessel.
  • a standpipe distributor arrangement can fit compactly near the junction of most standpipes with the disengaging vessel.
  • this invention comprises a disengaging vessel portion and catalyst and a feed contactor for injecting the feed and catalyst from an injection point into the disengaging vessel portion in a substantially horizontal direction.
  • the feed contactor injects a hydrocarbon-containing feed into a flowing stream of catalyst to supply the feed and catalyst to the injection point.
  • a collector vessel portion located subjacent to the disengaging vessel portion and at least 5 feet (1.5m) below the injection point, collects a dense bed of catalyst from the disengaging vessel portion.
  • An inertial separator located superjacent to the disengaging vessel portion, communicates directly with an upper portion of the disengagement vessel portion to separate hydrocarbons from catalyst particles that rise with the hydrocarbons from the disengaging vessel portion.
  • a catalyst outlet defined by the inertial separator, recovers separated hydrocarbons from the inertial separator.
  • This invention can be used in combination with any type of particulate material.
  • the material may be inert or reactive in the presence of the particular fluid material.
  • a wide variety of inert and catalytic material is suitable for this invention.
  • a suitable inert material comprises an alpha alumina.
  • FCC applications of this process can include any of the well-known catalysts that are used in the art of fluidized catalytic cracking. These compositions include amorphous-clay type catalysts which have, for the most part, been replaced by high activity, crystalline alumina silica or zeolite-containing catalysts.
  • Zeolite-containing catalysts are preferred over amorphous-type catalysts because of their higher intrinsic activity and their higher resistance to the deactivating effects of high temperature exposure to steam and exposure to the metals contained in most feedstocks.
  • Zeolites are the most commonly used crystalline alumina silicates and are usually dispersed in a porous inorganic carrier material such as silica, alumina, or zirconium. These catalyst compositions may have a zeolite content of 30% or more.
  • Zeolite catalysts used in the process of this invention will preferably have a zeolite content of from 25-80 wt. % of the catalyst.
  • the zeolites may also be stabilized with rare earth elements and contain from .1 to 10 wt. % of rare earths.
  • this invention may be useful for any process that seeks to contact hydrocarbon-containing streams with a fluidized particulate stream for short periods of time.
  • the types of processes in which this invention may be useful include the contacting of catalyst with residual feeds and the destructive contacting of high asphaltene-containing feed with high temperature inert or catalytic particles.
  • Suitable liquid media for this invention include any liquid stream that will enter the distributor at least partially as a liquid and that is further vaporized by contact with the particulate material.
  • Feed for destructive contacting will comprise highly refractory crudes having boiling points that extend over wide ranges and having high concentrations of metals and coke.
  • feedstocks suitable for processing by the method of this invention include conventional FCC feeds and higher boiling or residual feeds.
  • the most common of the conventional feeds is a vacuum gas oil which is typically a hydrocarbon material having a boiling range of from 343 ° -552 °C (650° - 1025° F) and which is prepared by vacuum fractionation of atmospheric residue. These fractions are generally low in coke precursors and the heavy metals which can deactivate the catalyst.
  • Heavy or residual feeds i.e., which have a boiling range above 500 ° C (930° F). and which have a high metals content, are also finding increased usage in FCC units.
  • both the metals and coke serve to deactivate the catalyst by blocking active sites on the catalysts.
  • coke can be removed to a desired degree by regeneration.
  • FIG. 1 shows an FCC arrangement that is arranged in accordance with this invention.
  • the FCC arrangement shown in Figure 1 consists of a reactor 10 that includes a disengaging vessel portion 11, a collection vessel portion 14, and a separator 13.
  • Separator 13 includes a separator vessel portion 12 and a riser 15. The arrangement circulates catalyst and contacts feed in the manner hereinafter described.
  • fresh regenerated catalyst, spent catalyst, or a mixture thereof enters the reactor through a nozzle 16 which typically communicates with the end of a regenerated catalyst standpipe. Feed is injected into standpipe nozzle 16 through a feed injection nozzle 17 that contacts the catalyst, preferably through a contactor as further described herein. After or simultaneously with the contact between the feed and the hydrocarbons, the feed and catalyst particles enter the disengaging vessel portion 11 from an injection point 18.
  • the substantially horizontal flow path is defined to mean a flow path that has at least a principal horizontal component.
  • the principal direction of the catalyst stream as it enters the disengaging vessel will primarily dictate the entering trajectory of the feed and hydrocarbon stream. Therefore, the hydrocarbon stream will be directed into the disengaging vessel at an angle, shown in Figure 1 as A, of 60 ° or less to ensure that the momentum of the catalyst moves the mixture of catalyst and hydrocarbon in a substantial horizontal direction across disengaging vessel portion 11.
  • the substantial horizontal discharge from the disengaging point promotes a quick disengagement of the vaporous hydrocarbon stream from the relatively heavier catalyst particles.
  • the disengaging vessel portion will have a substantially open volume 19 above the injection point and perhaps, more importantly, an open volume 20 below the injection point.
  • Open volume 20 is defined as a region of the dilute catalyst density above a catalyst interface 21 and shown as dimension B in Figure 1.
  • Dimension B will be at a minimum of at least 1.5 m and, more typically, will be from 2 to 3.6 m.
  • Dilute phase conditions refer to a catalyst density of less than 300 kg/m 3 and, more typically, will refer to a density of less than 150 kg/m 3 .
  • Catalyst density in open volumes 19 and 20 will vary with proximity to the feed and catalyst contact point.
  • the density of the open volume will not exceed an average of 80 kg/m 3 ; and typically, it will have an average catalyst density of less than 48.4 kg/m 2 .
  • Catalyst from open volumes 19 and 20 collects in a dense bed 22 within collection zone 14. Dense phase conditions are characterized by an apparent bulk density of the catalyst in a range of from 240 to 800 kg/m 3 .
  • the dense bed of collection zone 22 typically retains catalyst particles at a density of at least 240 kg/m 3 and, more typically, catalyst particles are retained at a density of 730 kg/m 3 or more.
  • the distance B over the disengaging zone 11 may also serve as a settling zone where catalyst disengages and settles from the rising vapors.
  • Collection zone 14 may serve as a stripping zone for the recovery of entrained and adsorbed hydrocarbons from catalyst entering collection zone 14.
  • Stripping gas enters the collection zone 14 through a nozzle 23 and a distributor 24.
  • a dispersed stripping gas such as steam, rises upwardly through the catalyst.
  • the series of grids 25 may provide redistribution of the stripping medium and stripped hydrocarbons as they pass upwardly through the bed 22.
  • a nozzle 26 withdraws the stripped catalyst for regeneration in a regenerator vessel (not shown) and/or recycle to nozzle 16 for recontacting of catalyst with the feed.
  • the optional addition of hot regenerated catalyst to bed 22 can facilitate stripping by raising the temperature in the stripping zone.
  • Hot catalyst may enter the stripping zone above bed interface 21 through a nozzle 27.
  • an extended bed portion 22' with a higher catalyst interface 21' may be maintained to keep the dense phase catalyst above the entry point of the regenerated catalyst through nozzle 27, provided the minimum disengagement length is provided between injection point 18 and bed level 21
  • the stripping medium as well as the stripped hydrocarbons will ordinarily rise through the disengaging vessel 11 and combine with the disengaged hydrocarbons that enter with the catalyst stream from nozzle 16.
  • a transition section in the form of a truncated cone 28 reduces the fluid flow area and increases the velocity of the gases as they enter riser 15.
  • the conditions within disengaging zone 19, cone 28, and riser 15 are often referred to as fast fluidized conditions in which the upward catalyst transfer velocity may range between 6 to 18 m/sec with a density range of from 65 to 550 kg/m 3 .
  • the rising hydrocarbons and any additional entrained catalyst will rise upwardly into an inertial separation device provided by a pair of arms 29 each having tangentially directed openings 30.
  • Arms 29 provide an inertial separation by centripetal acceleration of the relatively heavy catalyst particles that quickly removes most of the catalyst from the hydrocarbon vapors.
  • the depiction of tangentially oriented openings to provide a centripetal or cyclonic type separation is not meant to preclude other inertia separation devices such as those that use a ballistic separation of particles from the hydrocarbon vapors. Cracked hydrocarbons with trace amounts of catalyst exit separator 13 through an outlet 31.
  • Hydrocarbon vapors from outlet 31 will, in most cases, undergo further separation for the recovery of the trace amounts of catalyst particles.
  • Cyclone separators will normally provide the secondary recovery of the residual catalyst particles.
  • Catalyst particles recovered from additional separators may return to the collection zone 14 via a nozzle 32. After any additional catalyst recovery, products are typically transferred to a separation zone (not shown) for the removal of light gases and heavy hydrocarbons from the products.
  • Catalyst recovered from the inertial separator 13 collects in a bed 33 for return to bed 22 in the collection zone 14. Catalyst may pass from bed 33 to the collection zone 14 through one or more internal or external standpipes 34.
  • Figure 1 shows an arrangement of internal standpipes 34 that return catalyst from bed 33 in isolation from the open volumes 19 and 20 of disengagement zone 11.
  • the bottoms 35 of standpipes 34 are typically submerged in bed 22. The submersion of standpipe bottoms 35 prevents the backflow of stripped vapors through the standpipes and into the separated vapors that collect at the top of separation zone 13.
  • Internal standpipes 34 have an arrangement that leaves a clear trajectory for the injected hydrocarbon and catalyst particles as it enters disengaging zone 11 from injection point 18. As shown more clearly in Figure 2, the spacing of internal conduits 34 is increased in the area of nozzle 16 to provide a spacing between conduits 34 equal to dimension C. Dimension C will, preferably, at least equal the diameter of nozzle 16. By this layout the injected hydrocarbons and catalyst particles have a clear trajectory path that extends at least to the center of the disengaging zone 11 as shown by dimension T.
  • Figure 3 shows an alternate arrangement that uses a downwardly extended conduit 36 together with a separation shroud 40 to increase the recovery of separated catalyst from the inertial separation device and return of the catalyst to a dense bed 22" by an external standpipe 38.
  • the apparatus of Figure 3 operates in a similar manner to the apparatus described in conjunction with Figure 1. The major differences are the introduction of an additional change in vapor direction as vapor passes upwardly in disengaging vessel portion 11' and further separation of catalyst particles from the hydrocarbon vapors before the mixture leaves the separation zone 13'.
  • opening 39 serves as separator inlet and faces a side of the disengaging zone that is opposite the side from which the catalyst particles and hydrocarbons are injected through injection point 18'. In this manner, the hydrocarbons exit the disengaging zone on a side opposite from which the catalyst particles and hydrocarbons are injected.
  • Hydrocarbons and entrained catalyst from inlet 39 continue upwardly through riser section 15'. Arms 29' again tangentially discharge the catalyst and entrained catalyst particles through openings 30'.
  • a shroud 40 provides a restricted opening 41 for recovered vapors that pass upwardly into a secondary section 42 of separator 13'. Recovered hydrocarbons together with any residual catalyst again leave the separation zone 13' through a nozzle 31'.
  • External standpipe 38 recovers catalyst from a bed 33' that collects catalyst from inertial separator 13'. Conduit 38 passes catalyst around disengaging zone 11' and into catalyst bed 22" of collection zone 14'. External standpipe 38' leaves disengaging zone 11' completely open for disengagement of hydrocarbon vapors from the catalyst stream.
  • the open section of the disengaging zone may be further segregated to confine the separation of the hydrocarbons from the stream of catalyst particles.
  • a pair of baffles 43 may be placed in proximity to a catalyst conduit 16' that discharges the catalyst particles and feed mixture into a central portion 44 of the disengaging zone 11'.
  • Disengaging zone 11' may be further modified to provide conduits for returning the catalyst particles that are located outside of the area 44'.
  • Catalyst conduits 46 may be located in the circular sectors to the outside of baffles 43.
  • the process and apparatus of this invention may initially contact the feed with regenerated catalyst, carbonized catalyst, or a mixture of the two.
  • the process can use any type of regeneration for the removal of coke.
  • Coke removal which ordinarily operates to completely remove coke from the catalyst is generally referred to as "complete regeneration”.
  • Complete regeneration removes coke from the catalyst to a level of less than .2 wt%, or preferably to less than .1wt%, and or more preferably, to less than 0.05 weight percent coke.
  • Regenerated catalyst will have a substantially higher temperature than carbonized catalyst.
  • Regenerated catalyst that usually enters the regenerated conduit 16 will have a temperature in a range from 590 to 760 °C and, more typically, the temperature will be in a range of from 650 to 760 °C.
  • the catalyst Once the catalyst mixture contacts the feed, the catalyst accumulates coke on the catalyst particles and has a lower temperature.
  • the temperature of the carbonized catalyst will usually be in a range of from 480 to 620°C, but its temperature will vary depending on its source.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a contactor 115 that atomizes the feed into streams of fine liquid droplets.
  • a flange 111 at the end of conduit 17 usually retains contactor 115 in conduit 17.
  • Collectively the streams produced by contactor 115 provide a linear array of catalyst that contacts a falling curtain of catalyst formed by an outlet 114 of a chute 113.
  • the transverse contacting of the feed with the vertically falling catalyst curtain creates a beneficial trajectory of the catalyst and feed mixture into the disengaging vessel.
  • the feed preferably contacts the curtain of falling catalyst in a transverse direction to obtain a quick contacting between the feed and the catalyst particles.
  • transversely contacting means the feed does not flow parallel to the direction of the falling curtain.
  • the catalyst particles, after injection of the jet of hydrocarbons typically flow less than 1.5m through conduit 17 and, preferably flow less than .3m before injection into the disengaging zone from the injection point.
  • chute 113 is fixed to the inside of conduit 116 and opening 114 usually has a rectilinear shape.
  • the chute will usually have a width equal to or greater than about half the width of conduit 16.
  • Catalyst for discharge enters conduit 16 from a control valve, i.e. typically a slide valve (not shown).
  • the control valve regulates the flow rate of catalyst into chute 113.
  • the discharge velocity of the catalyst from outlet 114 may be controlled by the addition of fluids upstream of chute 113.
  • Contactor 115 will produce a spray pattern that is compatible with the geometry of the falling curtain.
  • the feed injector will generally produce a horizontal pattern of atomized liquid.
  • the feed is discharged in a substantially transverse direction with respect to the catalyst curtain.
  • Substantially transverse contact is used to describe the case where the principal direction of catalyst flow has an included angle of at least 30° and preferably at least 45° between the principal direction by which contactor 115 injects the feed into the layer or curtain of catalyst.
  • the feed flows perpendicularly into contact with a downwardly moving curtain of catalyst.
  • the feed When contacting the falling curtain of catalyst, the feed will typically have a velocity greater than .3m/sec and a temperature in the range of 150 to 320°C.
  • the nozzles of contactor 115 are sized to create jets having a fluid velocity out of the openings in a range of 9 to 120m per second and preferably, the velocity will be in the range of 30 to 90m/sec.
  • the feed exits the nozzle openings in contactor 115 as a spray.
  • this invention will be practiced with some addition of a gaseous diluent, such as steam, to the feed before discharge through the orifices.
  • a gaseous diluent such as steam
  • the addition of the gaseous material can aid in the atomization of the feed.
  • a minimum quantity of gaseous material usually equal to about 0.2 wt.% of the combined liquid and gaseous mixture, is typically commingled with the liquid before its discharge through the nozzles.
  • the quantity of any added steam is 5 wt% or less of the combined gaseous and liquid mixture.
  • Atomization will, for most liquids, produce droplets in a size range of from 50 to 750 microns.
  • Figure 7 shows a linearly extended array of nozzles 123 extending across the front face of contactor 115.
  • Nozzles 123 are orientated to inject an atomized mixture of fluids directly out from contactor 115 in a straight flow pattern from the more centrally located nozzles.
  • Those nozzles 123 that are located more to the outside of the array may be angled to orient the injected atomized liquid over a wider pattern and to maintain an even spacing between jets.
  • Nozzles 123 may be angled in this manner to cover any length or configuration of catalyst flow pattern or catalyst dispersion.
