Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for refining hydrocarbon oils in the presence of hydrogen.
- the present invention relates, to a process for reducing sulfur and olefin contents in gasoline.
- the main problem about the automobile gasoline quality in China is the high contents of sulfur and olefins .
- High levels of sulfur and olefins in the automobile gasoline is -mainly due to the high proportion of the fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) gasoline in the gasoline pool.
- the FCC gasoline is a main blending component, accounting for more than 80% in the gasoline blending pool.
- the FCC gasoline contains high levels of sulfur and olefins, especially when the feed of the FCC becomes heavier; thus, it is hard to obtain automobile gasoline with an olefin content less than 20%.
- USP 5,411, 658 discloses a gasoline hydrorefining process, comprising employing a traditional hydrorefining catalyst to hydrorefine FCC gasoline, and then employing a ⁇ - zeolite catalyst to restore the octane number of the hydrorefined gasoline.
- the process was designed to treat a feedstock with a high final boiling point. Nevertheless, the process employs a high hydrorefining temperature and thus makes a large amount of aromatics saturated. As a result, RON octane number decreases substantially in the final product and is hard to restore.
- USP 5,599,439 discloses a process for upgrading gasoline and reformate.
- the process comprises, in a first stage, hydrorefining the feed to remove the impurities of sulfur, nitrogen etc and saturate olefins. Then the effluent from the first stage is subjected to intermediate separating step; the gas with hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen, etc removed is directly recycled to the first stage, and the intermediate product oil enters the second step where it undergoes octane number restoring process in a fluidized bed reactor with no fresh hydrogen introduced therein.
- This process introduces a separator between the first and second stages, thus increasing the capital investment. In the meantime, the process employs a low operation pressure which adversely affects the long-term operation of the catalyst .
- USP 5, 391, 288 discloses a gasoline upgrading process .
- the feed comprises the mixture of FCC oil and benzene-rich fraction oil isolated from the effluents of the reforming process .
- the process includes two reaction steps.
- the feed material undergoes hydrorefining to reduce the contents of the impurities, such as sulfur, nitrogen etc, and at the same time to saturate olefins through hydrogenation.
- the effluent from the first step is subjected to octane number restoring treatment in the presence of an acid-functional catalyst, mainly undergoing alkane cracking, and alkylation and transalkylation of the aromatics.
- the process adopts a relatively low space velocity in the hydrorefining step and employs a large amount of catalyst.
- it employs a feed with benzene and thus produces a product containing relatively high content of aromatics.
- USP 5,399,258 also discloses a process for upgrading gasoline.
- the process includes two steps.
- the feedstock is subjected to hydrogenation to remove sulfur and nitrogen and saturate the olefins.
- the product from the first step directly enters the second step where it undergoes octane number restoring.
- the first step is operated at a high temperature, similar to that of the second step. Nevertheless, owing to the high reaction temperature in the first step, in the final product of the process, a large amount of mercaptan sulfur remains .
- the obj ect of the present invention is to provide a process for deeply reducing sulfur and olefin contents in gasoline, thus producing a gasoline product meeting Tier 11 quality standard of ⁇ World-wide Fuel Charter)) , while ensuring minimum loss of antiknock index.
- the present process comprises:
- a paraffin - modification catalyst under reaction conditions including a hydrogen/gasoline ratio of 200-1000 Nm 3 /m 3 , a hydrogen partial pressure of 1.0-4.0 MPa, a temperature of 300-460°C and a liquid hourly space velocity of 0.5-4.0 h "1 to provide an effluent, which is separated to obtain the hydrotreated gasoline fraction, wherein the paraffin - modification catalyst comprises one or more noble or non-noble metals from Group VIII and/or Group VIB of the Periodic Table of Elements, supported over a supporter containing at least one zeolite.
- the process of the present invention makes it possible to maximize sulfur removal, while reducing olefin content by at least 40% and minimizing octane loss.
- the process of the invention produces a gasoline product with a sulfur content of less than 200 ppm and an olefin content of less than 20 % by volume, meeting Tier II quality standard of ⁇ World-wide Fuel Charter)) , while ensuring minimum loss of antiknock index.
- Figure 1 shows a relationship between the octane number loss of a typical FCC gasoline, with a high olefin content and a low aromatics content, and the saturation degree of the olefins therein as the gasoline undergoes conventional hydrorefining.
