- the temperature is typically between about 200 and about 460 ° C.

Abstract
Description
Les procédés conventionnels d'hydrodésulfuration de gazoles ou de distillats sous vide comprennent un four généralement situé entre le stripeur d'H2S et la colonne de fractionnement principale. La présence de ce four permet de remonter les températures en après le stripage et d'obtenir un fractionnement efficace dans la colonne de fractionnement située en aval. Par contre, la présence de ce four engendre des consommations énergétiques importantes et représente un investissement et un coût opératoire importants à la fois dans l'absolu et par rapport à l'ensemble du procédé.Conventional hydrodesulfurization processes for gas oils or vacuum distillates comprise an oven generally located between the H 2 S stripper and the main fractionator. The presence of this furnace makes it possible to raise the temperatures after the stripping and to obtain an effective fractionation in the fractionation column situated downstream. On the other hand, the presence of this furnace generates important energy consumptions and represents an investment and an important operating cost both in absolute and in relation to the whole process.

La présente invention concerne un procédé selon la revendication 1 d'hydrodésulfuration de gazole ou de distillat sous vide, de préférence de gazole sous vide et/ou de distillats sous vide, comprenant au moins une section réactionnelle d'hydrodésulfuration, au moins une section de stripage et au moins une section de fractionnement dans lequel la colonne de fractionnement principale est opérée sous un vide modéré. L'installation utilisée dans le procédé selon l'invention comprend également un ballon séparateur chaud.The present invention relates to a process according to
Dans le procédé et l'installation selon l'invention, la section réactionnelle d'hydrodésulfuration peut comprendre un ou plusieurs réacteurs disposés en série ou en parallèle, par exemple deux réacteurs disposés en série. Chaque réacteur de la section réactionnelle comprend au moins un lit de catalyseur. Le catalyseur peut être mis en oeuvre en lit fixe ou en lit expansé, ou encore en lit bouillonnant.

Each reactor of the reaction section comprises at least one catalyst bed. The catalyst can be used in a fixed bed or in an expanded bed, or in a bubbling bed. In the case of a catalyst implemented in fixed bed, it is possible to have several catalyst beds in at least one reactor.
Tout catalyseur connu de l'homme du métier peut être utilisé dans le procédé selon l'invention, par exemple un catalyseur comprenant au moins un élément choisi parmi les éléments du Groupe VIII de la classification périodique (groupes 8, 9 et 10 de la nouvelle classification périodique) et éventuellement au moins un élément choisi parmi les éléments du Groupe VIB de la classification périodique (groupe 6 de la nouvelle classification périodique).Any catalyst known to those skilled in the art can be used in the process according to the invention, for example a catalyst comprising at least one element selected from the elements of Group VIII of the periodic table (
Les conditions opératoires de cette section réactionnelle d'hydrodésulfuration sont généralement comprises dans les fourchettes de conditions opératoires décrites dans l'art antérieure. Ces conditions opératoires utilisables en hydrotraitement sont bien connus de l'homme de l'art :The operating conditions of this hydrodesulfurization reaction section are generally within the operating condition ranges described in the prior art. These operating conditions that can be used in hydrotreatment are well known to those skilled in the art:
La température est typiquement comprise entre environ 200 et environ 460 °C.The temperature is typically between about 200 and about 460 ° C.
La pression totale est typiquement comprise entre environ 1 MPa et environ 20 MPa, généralement entre 2 et 20 MPa, de préférence entre 2,5 et 18 MPa, et de façon très préférée entre 3 et 18 MPa.The total pressure is typically between about 1 MPa and about 20 MPa, typically between 2 and 20 MPa, preferably between 2.5 and 18 MPa, and most preferably between 3 and 18 MPa.
La vitesse spatiale horaire globale de charge liquide pour chaque étape catalytique est typiquement comprise entre environ 0,1 et environ 12, et généralement entre environ 0,4 et environ 10.The overall hourly space velocity of liquid charge for each catalytic step is typically from about 0.1 to about 12, and generally from about 0.4 to about 10.
La pureté de l'hydrogène utilisé dans le procédé selon l'invention est typiquement comprise entre 50 et 99,9.The purity of the hydrogen used in the process according to the invention is typically between 50 and 99.9.
La quantité d'hydrogène par rapport à la charge liquide est typiquement comprise entre environ 50 et environ 1200 Nm3/m3.The amount of hydrogen relative to the liquid feed is typically from about 50 to about 1200 Nm3 / m3.
Les sections de fractionnement et de stripage peuvent être équipées de tout type de colonne de stripage à toute pression ou de fractionnement sous vide modéré connu de l'homme du métier. On utilise de la vapeur pour réaliser ledit stripage. La colonne sous vide est également de préférence alimentée au moyen de tout gaz de stripage, de préférence de la vapeur.The fractionation and stripping sections may be equipped with any type of stripping column at any pressure or moderate vacuum fractionation known to those skilled in the art. Steam is used to carry out said stripping. The vacuum column is also preferably fed by means of any stripping gas, preferably steam.
Le passage de la colonne à un vide modéré, c'est-à-dire compris en zone de flash entre 0,05 bar et 0,95 bar (1 bar = 0,1 MPa), de préférence compris entre 0,1 bar et 0,90 bar, de manière plus préféré compris entre 0,1 bar et 0,7 bar et de manière plus préféré compris entre 0,15 bar et 0,5 bar, permet de réduire considérablement la chaleur à apporter à la charge de cette colonne pour vaporiser la fraction légère issue des réactions de conversion des hydrocarbures dans le réacteur d'hydrodésulfuration.Passing the column to a moderate vacuum, that is to say included in the flash zone between 0.05 bar and 0.95 bar (1 bar = 0.1 MPa), preferably between 0.1 bar and 0.90 bar, more preferably between 0.1 bar and 0.7 bar and more preferably between 0.15 bar and 0.5 bar, can significantly reduce the heat to be brought to the load of this column for vaporizing the light fraction resulting from hydrocarbon conversion reactions in the hydrodesulfurization reactor.
L'installation utilisée dans le procédé selon l'invention comprend un ballon séparateur chaud. La chaleur complémentaire nécessaire à cette vaporisation peut éventuellement être apportée par l'augmentation de la température dudit ballon séparateur par rapport à la pratique courante qui correspond à une température généralement comprise entre 240°C et 280°C. Généralement cette augmentation est inférieure à 60°C, de préférence inférieure à 50°C, de manière plus préférée inférieure à 40°C. Ce mode de fonctionnement diffère également notablement de celui de l'art antérieur dans lequel, la température du ballon chaud est fixée pour le fonctionnement de la colonne de stripeur d'H2S. La température dudit ballon séparateur, est comprise entre 280°C et 350°C, de préférence entre 300°C et 340°C et de manière très préférée entre 300°C et 330°C.The plant used in the process according to the invention comprises a hot separator flask. The additional heat required for this vaporization may possibly be provided by increasing the temperature of said separator tank relative to the current practice which corresponds to a temperature generally between 240 ° C and 280 ° C. Generally this increase is less than 60 ° C, preferably less than 50 ° C, more preferably less than 40 ° C. This mode of operation also differs significantly from that of the prior art in which the temperature of the hot flask is set for the operation of the H2S stripper column. The temperature of said separator flask is between 280 ° C and 350 ° C, preferably between 300 ° C and 340 ° C and very preferably between 300 ° C and 330 ° C.
On profite alors de cette élévation de température pour distiller un maximum de naphta dans le stripeur de façon à envoyer vers la colonne de fractionnement principale des composés dont la température d'ébullition est généralement supérieure à environ 100°C. L'absence de composés légers dans la colonne sous vide permet ainsi d'obtenir la condensation complète du produit de tête avec à un vide très modérée (par exemple 0,1 à 0,5 bar abs).This rise in temperature is then used to distil a maximum of naphtha in the stripper so as to send to the main fractionation column compounds whose boiling point is generally greater than about 100 ° C. The absence of light compounds in the vacuum column thus makes it possible to obtain complete condensation of the overhead product with a very moderate vacuum (for example 0.1 to 0.5 bar abs).
Tout autre mode d'apport de la chaleur complémentaire autre qu'un four peut toutefois être envisagé dans le procédé selon l'invention, en particulier ceux connus de l'homme du métier, tel que par exemple un échangeur de chaleur supplémentaire.Any other method of supplying additional heat other than a furnace may, however, be envisaged in the method according to the invention, in particular those known to those skilled in the art, such as, for example, an additional heat exchanger.
Dans le procédé selon l'invention, la température du système de vide est généralement gouvernée par la température de condensation de l'eau provenant de la vapeur de stripage de la colonne. La condensation complète des hydrocarbures et de la vapeur d'eau permet d'utiliser un système de vide très simple et peu consommateur d'énergie.In the process according to the invention, the temperature of the vacuum system is generally governed by the condensing temperature of the water coming from the stripping steam of the column. The complete condensation of hydrocarbons and water vapor makes it possible to use a very simple vacuum system that consumes little energy.
Au niveau énergétique ce procédé permet donc de gagner le plus souvent environ les 2/3 de la consommation énergétique du four utilisé dans les procédés de l'art antérieur. Le 1/3 restant est reporté sur le four de la boucle réactionnelle.At the energy level, this process therefore makes it possible to gain most often about 2/3 of the energy consumption of the furnace used in the processes of the prior art. The remaining 1/3 is transferred to the furnace of the reaction loop.
Au niveau équipement ce procédé permet d'économiser le four ainsi que de nombreux échangeurs de refroidissement habituellement nécessaires avant recueil des produits issus du procédé. La colonne sous vide opère sous un vide modéré, c'est-à-dire compris entre 0,05 bar et 0,95 bar en zone de flash (1 bar = 0,1 MPa). Ces opérations sous vide n'induisent donc pas de surcoût important. Une autre simplification notable est la possibilité préférée de supprimer les stripeurs latéraux de cette colonne, car l'extraction d'une grande quantité de naphta dans le stripeur permet d'obtenir des coupes kérosène et gazole présentant la bonne spécification de point éclair, généralement compris entre 50 et 70 °C.At the equipment level this process saves the furnace as well as many cooling exchangers usually necessary before collecting products from the process. The vacuum column operates under a moderate vacuum, that is to say between 0.05 bar and 0.95 bar flash zone (1 bar = 0.1 MPa). These vacuum operations do not induce significant additional cost. Another notable simplification is the preferred possibility of eliminating the lateral strippers of this column, because the extraction of a large quantity of naphtha in the stripper makes it possible to obtain kerosene and diesel fractions having the correct flashpoint specification, generally understood. between 50 and 70 ° C.
La
La charge, par exemple un gazole sous vide comprenant des hydrocarbures avec des points d'ébullition compris entre 370 et 565°C, est alimenté via la ligne 1. L'hydrogène, de préférence en excès par rapport à la charge, est alimenté via la ligne 3 et le compresseur 4 puis la ligne 5, et mélangé avec la charge 1 avant d'être admis dans un échangeur charge-effluent (6) via la ligne 2. L'échangeur 6 permet de préchauffer la charge au moyen de l'effluent du réacteur d'hydrodésulfuration 10. Après cet échange, la charge est amenée via la ligne 7 dans un four permettant d'atteindre le niveau de température nécessaire à la réaction d'hydrodésulfuration, puis la charge chaude est envoyée, via la ligne 9, dans la section d'hydrodésulfuration 10, constituée par au moins un réacteur d'hydrodésulfuration comprenant au moins un catalyseur d'hydrodésulfuration.The feed, for example a vacuum gas oil comprising hydrocarbons with boiling points between 370 and 565 ° C, is fed via
L'effluent du réacteur 10 est envoyé ensuite vers l'échangeur 6, puis via la ligne 12 vers le ballon séparateur 13. Une fraction gazeuse est séparée dans ce ballon et récupérée via la ligne 14. La fraction liquide désulfurée est récupérée en fond via la ligne 27. Ladite fraction gazeuse comprend de l'hydrogène n'ayant pas réagit, l'hydrogène sulfuré (H2S) formé lors de la réaction, ainsi que généralement des hydrocarbures légers issus de la conversion des hydrocarbures de la charge dans la section réactionnelle d'hydrodésulfuration. Après refroidissement dans un échangeur 15 et un aérocondenseur 17, cette fraction est amenée, via la ligne 18, dans un ballon de flash permettant à la fois de réaliser une séparation gaz-liquide et une décantation de la phase liquide aqueuse. La phase hydrocarbonée liquide est recyclée via les lignes 20 et 26 vers l'effluent liquide issu du ballon 13 et mélangée à cet effluent liquide avant d'être envoyée via la ligne 28 vers la colonne de stripage (stripeur) 29.The effluent from the
La fraction gazeuse issu du ballon de flash 19 est envoyée via la ligne 21 vers un absorbeur aux amines ou une colonne de lavage 22 permettant d'éliminer au moins une partie de l'H2S, puis la fraction gazeuse contenant de l'hydrogène est recyclée via les lignes 23 et 25 vers le réacteur d'hydrodésulfuration, après compression au moyen du compresseur 24 et mélange avec la charge 1.The gaseous fraction from the flash tank 19 is sent via
Le stripeur 29 est alimenté de préférence par de la vapeur de stripage via la ligne 32. En tête du stripeur, on récupère une fraction gazeuse (généralement appelée gaz acide) via la ligne 30 et via la ligne 31 un naphta présentant un point d'ébullition final le plus souvent supérieur à 100°C. Le liquide récupéré en fond de stripeur via la ligne 33 est envoyé via la colonne de fractionnement 34, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de le réchauffer dans un four ou un échangeur.Stripper 29 is preferably fed with stripping steam via line 32. At the top of the stripper, a gaseous fraction (generally called acid gas) is recovered via
La colonne de fractionnement 34 est opérée sous vide. Il s'agit généralement d'un vide modéré (par exemple environ 0,25 bar en zone de flash). Le fonctionnement de la colonne sous un vide modéré permet de réduire considérablement la chaleur à apporter à la charge de cette colonne pour vaporiser la fraction présentant un point d'ébullition inférieur à 370°C. La chaleur complémentaire est préférentiellement apportée par une augmentation de la température du ballon séparateur chaud (13) relativement modérée par rapport à la pratique courante (par exemple environ 310°C au lieu de 270°C). Cette colonne sous vide est également alimentée par de la vapeur de stripage via la ligne 44.The fractionation column 34 is operated under vacuum. This is usually a moderate vacuum (for example about 0.25 bar in flash zone). The operation of the column under a moderate vacuum considerably reduces the heat to be supplied to the charge of this column to vaporize the fraction having a boiling point below 370 ° C. The additional heat is preferably provided by an increase in the temperature of the hot separator tank (13) relatively moderate compared to the current practice (for example about 310 ° C instead of 270 ° C). This vacuum column is also fed with stripping steam via
La fraction de tête récupérée via la ligne 35 est essentiellement exempte de produits légers et après refroidissement via l'aérocondenseur 36, cette fraction peut être aisément condensée sous un vide modéré : environ 0,1 à 0,7 bar abs, de préférence environ 0,1 à 0,5 bar absolu (1 bar = 0,1 MPa). On pourra par exemple opérer avec une température en sortie de l'aérocondenseur (36) de 52°C soit 0,14 bar de tension de vapeur de l'eau.The overhead fraction recovered via the
Dans la section de séparation et de maintien du vide 37 dont les détails ne sont pas représentés car ils sont connus de l'homme du métier, il est possible de séparer une fraction liquide aqueuse et une fraction hydrocarbonée que l'on ne désire pas récupérer via la ligne 38. Le produit obtenu ligne 38 est par exemple constitué de coupes naphta et/ou kérosène et/ou gazole présentant un point d'ébullition initial supérieur à 100°C. Ladite section 37 comprend également les équipements permettant de générer un vide partiel et de le maintenir dans la colonne, tout équipement connu de l'homme du métier peut être utilisé, par exemple un éjecteur et un condenseur ou une pompe à vide.In the vacuum separation and
La fraction intermédiaire issue de la colonne de fractionnement via la ligne 39 est refroidie par exemple au moyen d'un échangeur (40) et d'un aérocondenseur (42), puis récupérée via la ligne 43. Il s'agit par exemple d'une coupe gazole présentant un point d'ébullition final inférieur à 370°C.The intermediate fraction from the fractionation column via the
La fraction lourde issue de la colonne de fractionnement via la ligne 45 est également refroidie au moyen par exemple de l'échangeur 46 et de l'aérocondenseur 48. La fraction ainsi obtenu via la ligne 49 est un gazole sous vide hydrotraité présentant des points de coupe voisins de la charge initiale (par exemple des points d'ébullition initiaux et finaux de 370°C et 565°C respectivement).The heavy fraction from the fractionation column via the
Selon un autre mode de fonctionnement préféré, il est possible de récupérer via la ligne 38 une fraction allant du naphta au gazole léger (par exemple présentant un point final d'ébullition inférieur à 370°C), et via la ligne 49 une fraction gazole lourd complémentaire (par exemple présentant un point initial d'ébullition supérieur à 370°C). Dans ce cas, la colonne de fractionnement ne comprend pas de fractionnement intermédiaire et les lignes 39 à 43 sont absentes.According to another preferred mode of operation, it is possible to recover via line 38 a fraction ranging from naphtha to light gas oil (for example having a boiling point of less than 370 ° C.), and via line 49 a diesel fraction. additional heavy product (eg having an initial boiling point above 370 ° C). In this case, the fractionation column does not include intermediate fractionation and
