Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve yield of product oil having high value and to extremely save energy by equipping a forerunning column with a recovery stage and a reboiler, in stalling an off gas pressurizing and condensing device and operat ing the forerunning column under low pressure. CONSTITUTION:Pressure at the top of a forerunning column 1 equipped with a reboiler 3 and a recovery stage 22 is made 0.5-1.5kg/cm<2>G, a light fraction mixed in a crude oil fed to the bottom of the forerunning column is distilled away as an oil al the top of the forerunning column. Then, the oil at the bottom, having the reduced light fraction, is fed to a main distillation column 2, distilled, vapor at the top of the main distilling column 2 is cooled by a low-pressure condenser 4 at the bottom of the column, comprising water or air as a refrigerant, to recover a condensable component. Consequently, pressure at the top of the main distillation column is reduced by itself to -0.5 to 0kg/cm<2> G to improve yield of white oil having high value such as gas oil and heavy oil.

In conventional crude oil atmospheric distillation equipment, the front distillation column 1 is a steam distillation column (a concentration column with only a concentration stage 20 and an overhead condenser 4A) or a simple flash column, but in either case, the top product and The degree of separation from the bottom oil is extremely poor.
A large amount of light fractions such as LPG fractions are mixed into the bottom oil of the front distillation column. Light fractions such as LPG fractions mixed in the bottom oil of the front distillation column are not completely condensed in the main distillation column top condenser 18, and become off gas in the main distillation column top receiving tank 19. For this reason,
The main distillation column top light N19 has a positive pressure, and the main distillation column top receiving tank also has a positive pressure. - In addition, Wang Moli tower bottom oil is heavy oil medium S
This contains a large amount of oil (white oil) that is more valuable than heavy oil such as light oil and heavy gas oil.In order to recover the white oil contained in such heavy oil, the main distillation column flash In zone 17, a larger amount of white oil is smoked, but for this purpose, there is a method in which the bottom oil of the front distillation column is heated to a higher temperature in the heating furnace 16 and fed to the main distillation column, and One possibility is to lower the operating pressure in the tower flash zone. However, the former requires more thermal energy and
In addition, there is a limit to increasing the supply temperature because it causes thermal decomposition of the crude oil, and the latter increases the amount of off-gas generated in the main distillation column top receiving tank 19, and there is a limit to the pressure that can be lowered.

[Function] The crude oil distillation method according to claim (1) lowers the pressure of the pre-distillation column (0.5 to 1.5 kg/dG) compared to the conventional method, thereby increasing the oil supplied to the pre-distillation column. The light fraction, which would otherwise be mixed in the bottom oil of the front distillation tower, is distilled out as the top oil of the front distillation tower. As light fractions are removed to some extent, the product at the top of the main distillation column becomes heavier, and therefore a special refrigerant other than water or air is used in the main distillation column top condenser to increase the degree of cooling. In addition, the pressure at the top of the main distillation column can be reduced to 0.5 without using a special pressure reducing device in the main distillation column.
The pressure can be reduced to ~Okg/ciG.

The amount of evaporation of feedstock oil increases, and as a result, the yield of more valuable product oils (white oil) such as light oil and heavy gas oil, which were conventionally mixed in heavy oil (main distillation column bottom oil), has decreased. This results in a so-called deep drawing effect. Furthermore, when there is no need to increase the yield of white oil to that extent, the load on the heating device for oil supplied from the pre-distillation column to the main distillation column can be reduced, resulting in significant energy savings.

In the present invention, by lowering the pressure in the front distiller, when the amount of off gas generated from the top receiving tank of the front distiller increases depending on the feedstock oil, a device for pressurizing the off gas and a device for cooling the pressurized off gas can be used. Providing a device for recovering condensed components is preferable not only because valuable components can be recovered, but also from the viewpoint of regulating the pressure in the receiving tank at the top of the front distillation column.

In addition, in the present invention, when the yield of the oil at the top of the front distillation column increases and the degree of separation from the oil at the top of the front distillation column deteriorates, a front distillation column reboiler and a recovery stage for light oil are provided. This is preferable from the viewpoint of not only improving the distillation properties of the oil at the top of the front distillation column, but also preventing light oil from being mixed into the bottom oil of the front distillation column, and reducing the pressure in the main distillation column.

The overhead vapor of the pre-distillation column 1 is cooled and condensed by an overhead low-pressure condenser 4 using water or air as a refrigerant, but some components may be left uncondensed.

It can be recovered. General 12. As the operating pressure of the front distillation column is lowered, the amount of off-gas generated in the low-pressure receiving layer 5 at the top of the column increases. On the other hand, as the amount of evaporation of crude oil in the flash zone increases, the yield of the top product also increases, and the partial pressure occupied by off-gas in the top product becomes relatively small, which has the effect of suppressing off-gas generation. The amount generated will not increase significantly.

The bottom oil of the front distillation tower from which the light fractions in the crude oil have been sufficiently removed is
After being heated in the heating furnace 16, it is supplied to the main distillation column 2, and in the main distillation column Franche zone 17, fractions such as heavy naphtha, kerosene, gas oil, and heavy gas oil are evaporated. The vapor at the top of the main distillation column is completely condensed by the main distillation column top condenser 18 which uses water or air as a refrigerant, but as mentioned above, the light fraction has been sufficiently removed in the front distillation column. The tower top receiver (possible 19 becomes the reduced pressure a″ state of O~-0.5kz/c go G,
Since the operating pressure of the furanone zone lτ of the craft distillation column can be reduced or lowered, the amount of evaporation of the feedstock oil in the flash zone 17 increases without increasing the load on the heating furnace 16. The yield of white oil will increase. Note that the degree of pressure reduction in this case can be adjusted by changing the cooling temperature of the condensate distilled from the main distillation column condenser 18. Further, in cases where it is not necessary to increase the yield of white oil by that much, the load on the heating furnace 16 can be lowered compared to the conventional method, thereby saving energy.

The crude oil atmospheric distillation apparatus of the present invention includes a recovery stage and a reboiler in the front distillation tower, and/or an off-gas pressurization and condensation device, and operates the front distillation tower at low pressure.
This prevents light fractions such as LPG fractions from being mixed into the bottom oil of the front distillation column, making the top product of the main distillation column heavier, and suppressing the generation of off-gas in the main distillation column top receiving tank. This enables vacuum distillation in the main distillation column. As a result, the operating pressure in the main distillation column flash zone also decreases, which increases the amount of feedstock flashed in the flash zone, improving the yield of higher value product oils such as light oil in heavy oil and heavy gas oil. (deep drawing effect).

深絞りの必要の無い時は、主蒸留塔への原油供給温度を
下げることができるので省工享ルギー効果も得られる。
When deep drawing is not required, the temperature at which crude oil is supplied to the main distillation column can be lowered, resulting in labor and energy savings.
