Definitions
- the invention is in the context of catalytic cracking units of heavy cuts.
- the invention relates to a separation and stripping device and its use in a catalytic cracking conversion process of hydrocarbons which can be vacuum distillates, residues or lighter cuts such as gasoline for example from various processes. conversion or atmospheric distillation of crude oil and possibly ligno-cellulosic biomass.
- the catalytic cracking process (abbreviated as FCC, abbreviated notation of "fluid catalytic craking") makes it possible to convert heavy hydrocarbon feeds, whose boiling point is generally greater than 340 ° C., into lighter hydrocarbon fractions, by cracking molecules of the heavy charge in the presence of an acid catalyst.
- FCC catalytic cracking process
- the FCC process produces mainly gasoline and LPG (abbreviation for liquefied petroleum gas) as well as heavier cuts called LCO and HCO.
- the reactor used in the catalytic cracking units is a fluidized bed reactor transported which is generally called a riser.
- the main load of an FCC heavy-cup unit is generally a hydrocarbon or a mixture of hydrocarbons containing essentially at least 80% of molecules whose boiling point is greater than 340 ° C.
- This feed contains quantities of metals, mainly nickel and vanadium (Ni + V) limited, generally less than 50 ppm, preferably less than 20 ppm, and a hydrogen content in general greater than 11% by weight. It is also preferable to limit the nitrogen content below the value of 0.5% by weight.
- the load defined by ASTM D 482 the coke yield requires a specific dimensioning of the unit to satisfy the thermal balance.
- the carbon deposited on the catalyst is then burned in the regeneration zone releasing calories which are used to satisfy the heat of vaporization of the feed, introduced through injectors in the form of liquid droplets, and the endothermicity of the reactions. cracking. So, if the Carbon Conradson of the feed is less than 3% by weight, it is possible to satisfy the heat balance of the unit by burning the coke in a fluidized bed in total combustion.
- Figure 1 shows the upper part of a catalytic cracking unit in the case of an external riser (2), that is to say completely separated from the stripping chamber (1).
- the separation device according to the invention (5) is located inside the stripping enclosure. It is connected to the riser (2) by a horizontal pipe (19) which penetrates inside the stripping enclosure (1).
- the separator (5) is followed by one or more cyclones (9).
- FIGs 2a, 2b and 2c show in more detail the solid gas separator and its connection with the external riser. Note the pipe (18) which can channel the stripping gas and joins the gaseous effluent of the riser in the chamber (16). Figure 2 introduces the angles and dimensions that will be specified in the rest of the text.
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of the separator object of the invention. In this Figure 3 we see more clearly the pipe (18) and the way it connects to the chamber (16). This figure also shows the return leg of the solid (6) after separation.
- FIG. 4 is a schematic view of the possible subdivisions of the main pipe (19) bringing the solid gas suspension from the riser (2) in the separation device (5). These subdivisions result in a tree structure of the separators (5) operating in parallel, a configuration forming part of the invention.
- FIG. 5 shows the results of the 3D simulation comparing the separator of the prior art (5a) with that according to the invention (5b).
- Patent EP0852963 discloses a solid-gas separator with direct winding of the particles contained in a gaseous mixture and its use in thermal or catalytic cracking in a fluidized bed. The device applies to a riser whose upper part opens into the stripping zone, which is not the case of the present invention.
- the patent FR2767715 describes a separation and stripping device for main riser FCC units. It is in the cited document a riser whose upper part opens into the stripping zone. The path of the gaseous effluents shows a lateral shift since the reversal of the gas which takes place in the chamber 2 is followed by a displacement in the chamber 3, as can be seen in FIG. 3 of the document cited.
- US 8383051 discloses a solid gas separation device which is intended for external risers, that is to say which are not at least partly contained in the envelope of the stripper.
- the main flow of the solid gas suspension is divided in two and the device comprises an impaction plate (called in the English terminology “partitioning baffle” in the text cited) which allows to recover the solid by sudden decrease in its speed .
- the device described is connected to a stripping chamber.
- the present invention can be considered as an improvement of the cited document.
- EPI patent 017,762 discloses a solid gas separation system comprising a set of separation chambers and stripping chambers arranged alternately around the riser. This system makes it possible to simultaneously perform the following operations:
- the present invention can be defined as a device for solid gas separation of the particles contained in the solid gas suspension from the external riser of a catalytic cracking unit (FCC).
- FCC catalytic cracking unit
- This external riser is either the main riser of the unit thus converting the different loads possible alone or in mixture, or a secondary riser associated with a central main riser.
- a possible configuration is a central main riser treating the conventional load and a secondary riser parallel to the main riser but which is in the outer position with respect to the main riser handling a lighter load such as naphtha.
- a configuration in which the one or more heavy loads, and the one or more light loads are respectively treated in the outer riser and the main riser in the central position is also possible.
- the effluents of the two risers are collected in a common stripper.
- each pipe (4) is connected to a bend (12) located in a vertical plane in which the particles are separated from the gas and pressed into the wall by the centrifugal force, the separated particles flowing downwards in the legs.
- return (13) themselves connected to a substantially vertical portion (14) which serves to join the two flows of particles from the two legs (13).
- return leg according to the vocabulary of the skilled person, a vertical pipe within which the catalyst flows in a dense fluidized flow, the density of the flow is generally between 400 and 800 kg / m 3 .
- the flow of the recovered solid ends in the return leg (6) which opens into or near the fluidized bed of the stripping vessel
- the gas from the riser is separated from the solid in the bends (12), turning approximately 180 ° in the legs (13) and then to the chambers (15), themselves connected to the pipe (18) in which the fluidization / stripping gas from the Downstream lluidized bed is channeled.
- the stripping gases join the gaseous effluents from the riser (2) after separation with the catalyst.
- the gases from the riser (2) and the gases from the lluidized stripping bed are then sent to a cyclone stage 9 via the discharge line (16).
