Weaver- Evy 1 ATTORNEY Patented Nov. 28, 1933 APPARATUS AND PROCESS FOR TREATING HYDROCARBQN OILS Joseph B. Weaver, Chicago, Ill., assignor, by mesn'e assignments, to Gyro Process Company, a corporation of Michigan Application October 18, 1926. Serial No. 142,420
Claims. (01. 196-116) This invention relates to apparatus and process for treating hydrocarbon oils and refers more particularly to an improved apparatus and process for treating hydrocarbon oils in the vapor phase.
Among the objects of the invention are-to provide an improved apparatus and process wherein the heatnecessary for the vapor phase treatment is economically employed and where the eflect of the oxidizing conditions of the gases at the high temperatures necessarily employed is greatly reduced, and, in general, to provide a more eficient and economical apparatus and process for treating hydrocarbon oils wherein the converting or cracking takes place while the oil is in the vapor phase.
The.invention. further resides in connection with apparatus and process where the oil is converted in the vapor phase while in the presence of a suitable agent, such as a catalytic agent,
or a chemical reagent, and in such combinations of steps andfeatures of construction and ar: rangements of parts as will more fully hereinafter appear.
In the drawing the single figure shows diagrammatically an apparatus embodying my invention and capable of carrying out the process of my invention.
Describing in detail the particular embodiment illustrated in the drawing, 1 represents diagrammatically a convertor, which may be one of many types suitable for treating hydrocarbon oils in the vapor phase. In this convertor, 2 designates the combustion chamber and 3 the heating elements through which the products of combustion from the combustion chamber 2 pass. These heating elements may be any suitable heat interchanger. For example, a convertor of the type shown in my pending application Serial No. 45,365, now U. S. Patent 1,708,247, may be employed, in which convertor the vaporized oil is compelled to pass through or over a suitable agent which may be a metal oxid, such as ferric oxid.
- 4 represents a suitable preheater or vaporizer in which the products of combustion from the combustion chamber 5 pass through the heating element 6. The preheated oil is then vaporized and subjected to the converting action in the convertor 1 by any suitable piping arrangement and the excess products of combustion pass through the flue '7 to the stack 8.
1n the vapor phase cracking process such high temperatures are necessarily required that difficulty is encountered in maintaining satisfactory thermal efiiciency in the apparatus and also for preventing injury to the equipment due to the oxidizing condition of the gases at such high temperatures. In my pending application Serial Number 45,365 I have described an apparatus and process for utilizing the heat in the waste gases from the convertor in the preheater or vaporizer and my present application relates to further improvements, which result in increased thermal eificiency and advantages. high velocities of the flue gases through the heating elements of the convertors and preheaters are employed in order to obtain a rapid heat interchange between the gaseous products of combustion and the hydrocarbons being treated. The volume of gas produced by the combustion of sufiicient fuel to furnish the required heat for It is important that the convertor (the convertor action taking place,
for example, at temperatures in excess of approximately 1000 F.) is not sufiicient to give the desired velocities of the hot gases, and previously I have admitted cold air in sufficient volume to attain the desired velocities of the combined hot gases. This, however, materially reduces the thermal efficiency and also the supply of additional air aids in the detrimental oxidation of the convertor parts.
In the present invention I overcome this objection by introducing part of the waste heat from the preheater in place of the excess cold air above referred to. It is also found that this greatly changes'the oxidizing conditions of the flue gases in the apparatus, as only enough air to support combustion need be admitted to the system, and if proper regulation is maintained, it is possible to realize practically neutral conditions of the flue gases.
Referring again to the diagrammatic drawing, it is to be noted that the convertor 1 at its outlet end in place of being connected to a stack, is connected by a flue 9 to the combustion chamber of the preheater or vaporizer, and a suitable fan or other draft means 10 is located in the flue 7 -so that any desired velocity through the convertor be divided between the convertor 1 and the vaporizer 4 by means of the .dampers 13 and 13 located in the passages 14 and 14' respectively.
The heat from the portion of the hot products of combustion which pass to the stack 8 is also utilized in place of cold air for supplying the additional velocity necessary in the preheater and the convertor. As shown in the diagrammatic drawing, a heat interchanger 15 is located in the stack 8, this heat interchanger having a cold air inlet 15 through which the air passes to the heat int'erchanger 15 where it absorbs any excess heat that is in the stack gases and then passes through the ducts 16 to the branch ducts 17 and 1'7 leading to the combustion chambers 5 and 2 respectively.
The above arangement of parts not only makes it possible to utilize to the fullest extent all the available heat of the system, but it also provides the necessary velocities without reducing the thermal efl'iciency of the system and by properly regulating the fan 10 and the valves or dampers 12, 12', 13 and 13', a practically neutral condi tion of the flue gases can be maintained so that the apparatus not only has greater thermal efficiency, but also greater life.
The apparatus as above described is particu-' larly adapted for the treatment of hydrocarbon oils in the vapor phase in which the oil is vaporized and then, while it is in its vapor phase, converted at a temperature in excess of approximately 1000 F., the conversion action taking place preferably in the presence of a metal oxid or of a metal oxid and steam. Owing to the high temperature at which the conversion takes place with reference to the relatively low temperature at which the oil can be vaporized, the excess heat from the convertor may be sufficient in some cases to preheat or vaporize the oil in the preheater 4, although in place of supplying the entire heat for the vaporizer the waste heat in the gases from the convertor may be used in part in the vaporizer and additional fuel su plied in the latter.
I do not desire to limit my invention to the particular details of construction shown, as the drawing merely illustrates diagrammatically an apparatus embodying my invention and one by which my improved process may be carried out.
