Abstract
Description
La production d'essences reformulées répondant aux nouvelles normes d'environnement nécessite notamment que l'on diminue de façon beaucoup plus importante leur teneur en soufre. En effet, les normes environnementales contraignent les raffineurs à abaisser la teneur en soufre dans le pool essence à des valeurs inférieures ou au plus égales à 50 ppm en 2005, et qui devront être ramenées à 10 ppm au premier janvier 2009 au sein de la communauté européenne. De plus, les essences désulfurées doivent également satisfaire aux spécifications en terme de pouvoir corrosif. Le pouvoir corrosif des essences est essentiellement dû à la présence de composés soufrés acides tels que les mercaptans.In particular, the production of reformulated species that meet the new environmental standards requires a much greater reduction in their sulfur content. Indeed, the environmental standards force refiners to lower the sulfur content in the gasoline pool to values of less than or equal to 50 ppm in 2005, which will have to be reduced to 10 ppm by January 1, 2009 within the community. European. In addition, the desulphurized species must also meet the specifications in terms of corrosive power. The corrosive power of gasolines is essentially due to the presence of acid sulfur compounds such as mercaptans.
Les essences désulfurées doivent donc contenir peu de mercaptans pour limiter leur corrosivité.Desulphurized species must therefore contain few mercaptans to limit their corrosivity.
La charge à traiter est généralement une coupe essence contenant du soufre telle que par exemple une coupe essence issue d'une unité de cokéfaction (coking), de viscoréduction (visbreaking), de vapocraquage ou de craquage catalytique (FCC). Ladite charge est de préférence constituée d'une coupe essence issue d'une unité de craquage catalytique dont l'intervalle de distillation est typiquement compris entre 70°C et environ 250°C.The feedstock to be treated is generally a sulfur-containing gasoline cut such as, for example, a petrol cut from a coking unit, visbreaking, steam cracking or catalytic cracking unit (FCC). Said feedstock is preferably composed of a gasoline cutter from a catalytic cracking unit whose distillation range is typically between 70 ° C and about 250 ° C.
Dans la suite du texte on parlera de manière générale d'essence de craquage catalytique en élargissant cette définition à des essences pouvant contenir en plus d'une majeure partie d'essence issue d'une unité de craquage catalytique, des fractions d'essence issues d'autres unités de conversion.In the rest of the text, we will talk generally about catalytic cracking gasoline by extending this definition to species that may contain more of a majority of gasoline from a catalytic cracking unit, gasoline fractions from other conversion units.
Les essences de craquage catalytique peuvent constituer 30% à 50 % en volume du pool essence et présentent généralement des teneurs en oléfines et en soufre élevés. Or, le soufre présent dans les essences reformulées est imputable, à près de 90%, à l'essence issue du craquage catalytique. La désulfuration des essences, et principalement des essences de FCC, est donc d'une importance cruciale pour le respect des normes en vigueur et à venir.Catalytic cracking gasolines can make up 30% to 50% by volume of the gasoline pool and generally have high olefin and sulfur contents. However, the sulfur present in the reformulated gasoline is attributable, to nearly 90%, to gasoline from catalytic cracking. The desulphurisation of gasolines, and mainly of FCC species, is therefore of crucial importance for the respect of current and future standards.
L'hydrotraitement ou l'hydrodésulfuration des essences de craquage catalytique, lorsqu'il est réalisé dans des conditions classiques, permet de réduire la teneur en soufre de la coupe. Cependant, ces procédés présentent l'inconvénient majeur d'entraîner une chute très importante de l'indice d'octane de la coupe, en raison de l'hydrogénation d'une partie importante, voire de la totalité des oléfines dans les conditions habituelles de l'hydrotraitement.Hydrotreating or hydrodesulfurization of catalytic cracking gasolines, when carried out under conventional conditions, makes it possible to reduce the sulfur content of the cut. However, these processes have the major disadvantage of causing a very large drop in the octane number of the cut, due to the hydrogenation of a large part, indeed of all the olefins under the usual conditions of hydrotreating.
Il existe des procédés permettant de désulfurer profondément les essences de FCC tout en maintenant l'indice d'octane à un niveau acceptable.There are methods for deep desulfurization of FCC gasolines while maintaining the octane number at an acceptable level.
Ces procédés sont, pour la plupart, basés sur le principe de l'hydrodésulfuration sélective visant à transformer les composes soufrés en H2S, tout en limitant l'hydrogénation des oléfines en paraffines, transformation qui induit une perte d'octane importante.These processes are, for the most part, based on the principle of selective hydrodesulphurisation aimed at converting the sulfur compounds into H 2 S, while limiting the hydrogenation of olefins to paraffins, a transformation which induces a significant loss of octane.
Toutefois, l'efficacité de ces procédés est limitée par la formation de mercaptans dits de recombinaison issus de l'addition de l'H2S formé dans le réacteur avec les oléfines résiduelles. La formation de ces mercaptans de recombinaison est en particulier décrite dans le brevet
D'autres solutions au problème de la formation des mercaptans de recombinaison sont basées sur un traitement des essences partiellement désulfurées pour en extraire les dits mercaptans de recombinaison. Certaines de ces solutions sont décrites dans les demandes de brevets
Le procédé décrit dans la présente invention permet de diminuer significativement la formation de mercaptans de recombinaison, et de limiter la perte d'octane au cours de l'étape de désulfuration, sans faire appel à une étape complémentaire de traitement de l'essence. En effet, il a été trouvé par les inventeurs qu'il était possible d'améliorer les performances des procédés de désulfuration sélective des essences, en recyclant une fraction de l'essence désulfurée.The method described in the present invention makes it possible to significantly reduce the formation of recombinant mercaptans, and to limit the loss of octane during the desulphurization step, without resorting to a complementary step of treating gasoline. Indeed, it has been found by the inventors that it was possible to improve the performance of selective desulphurisation processes of gasolines, by recycling a fraction of the desulfurized gasoline.
Il a été en effet observé qu'en mélangeant la charge à traiter avec une fraction de l'essence désulfurée, il était possible de diminuer significativement la fraction de composés soufrés présents sous forme de mercaptans dans les effluents désulfurés, tout en maintenant l'octane à des niveaux élevés.It has indeed been observed that by mixing the feedstock to be treated with a fraction of the desulfurized gasoline, it was possible to significantly reduce the fraction of sulfur compounds present as mercaptans in the desulfurized effluents, while maintaining the octane at high levels.
La mise en oeuvre de recyclages appropriés pour désulfurer les essences est décrite dans certaines publications, mais dans des conditions et pour répondre à des problématiques différentes de l'objet de l'invention.The implementation of appropriate recycling to desulphurize the species is described in some publications, but under conditions and to address problems different from the subject of the invention.

L'essence à traiter est introduite par la ligne (1) puis mélangée à de l'hydrogène introduit par la ligne (2) et chauffée par un train d'échangeur et/ou un four (11). L'hydrogène de la ligne (2) est constitué d'un mélange de l'hydrogène recyclé par la ligne (10) et de l'hydrogène d'appoint introduit par la ligne (23).The gasoline to be treated is introduced via line (1) and then mixed with hydrogen introduced via line (2) and heated by an exchanger train and / or an oven (11).

Dans ce cas la répartition du débit de recyclage entre les différents points de recyclage peut être absolument quelconque.A combination of all these recycling is also possible and remains perfectly within the scope of the invention. The combination of recycling means that some of the desulfurized gasoline can be recycled at each of the various recycling points previously listed. In this case, the distribution of the recycling flow between the different recycling points can be absolutely arbitrary.

Les caractéristiques de l'essence A issue d'une unité de craquage catalytique sont rassemblées dans le tableau 1.
Cette essence est traitée sur le catalyseur HR806 dans les conditions suivantes :
- Température = 285 °C
- Pression = 2,5 MPa
- Débit de charge = 400 ml/h
- Débit d'hydrogène = 144 l/h
- Temperature = 285 ° C
- Pressure = 2.5 MPa
- Flow rate = 400 ml / h
- Hydrogen flow rate = 144 l / h
A la sortie du réacteur d'hydrodésulfuration, le mélange réactionnel est refroidi et l'essence est séparée de l'hydrogène dans un séparateur gaz/liquide.At the outlet of the hydrodesulfurization reactor, the reaction mixture is cooled and the gasoline is separated from the hydrogen in a gas / liquid separator.
L'essence récupérée est strippée par un débit d'azote afin d'éliminer l'H2S résiduel puis analysée.Recovered gasoline is stripped by a nitrogen flow to remove residual H 2 S and analyzed.
L'essence produite contient 32 ppm de soufre, dont 22 ppm sous forme de mercaptans, et un indice de brome de 30 mg/100ml.The gasoline produced contains 32 ppm of sulfur, of which 22 ppm in the form of mercaptans, and a bromine value of 30 mg / 100ml.
Un essai est conduit sur l'essence A dans des conditions similaires à l'exemple 1. Une fraction de la recette liquide issue du stripper est renvoyée vers le pot de charge à l'aide d'une pompe. Le taux de recycle est calculé comme étant le débit de recycle divisé par le débit de charge fraîche.A test is conducted on gasoline A under conditions similar to Example 1. A fraction of the liquid recipe from the stripper is returned to the charging pot using a pump. The recycle rate is calculated as the recycle rate divided by the fresh charge rate.
Les conditions de l'essai sont les suivantes :
- Pression = 2,5 MPa
- Débit de charge à désulfurer = 400 ml/h
- Débit d'hydrogène = 144 l/h
- Pressure = 2.5 MPa
- Charge rate to desulfurize = 400 ml / h
- Hydrogen flow rate = 144 l / h
La température est ajustée par incréments de 1°C afin d'obtenir environ 30 ppm de soufre dans la recette.The temperature is adjusted in increments of 1 ° C to obtain about 30 ppm of sulfur in the recipe.
Le débit de recycle est ajusté afin d'obtenir des taux de recycle dans une plage de 0,2 à 3. Pour chaque taux de recycle, un échantillon d'essence désulfurée est récupéré et analysé. Le tableau 2 présente les analyses réalisées sur les différents échantillons.
L'opération du réacteur avec recyclage d'une fraction de la recette permet, pour une même teneur en soufre dans la recette, de produire une essence présentant une teneur en mercaptans diminuée et une teneur en oléfines plus élevée.The operation of the reactor with recycling of a fraction of the recipe makes it possible, for the same sulfur content in the recipe, to produce a gasoline having a lower mercaptan content and a higher olefin content.
Lorsque le taux de recyclage augmente, la teneur en mercaptans de l'effluent diminue, et la teneur en oléfines de l'effluent mesuré par l'indice de brome (IBr) reste stationnaire, ce qui préserve la valeur de l'indice d'octane.As the recycling rate increases, the mercaptan content of the effluent decreases, and the olefin content of the effluent measured by the bromine index (IBr) remains stationary, which preserves the value of the index of octane.
