Definitions

  • This invention relates to the conversion of hydrocarbons to lower boiling components and more particularly relates to a process for conversion of hydrocarbons wherein the conversion to coke is minimized. Still more particularly the invention is concerned with a process which comprises a combination of catalytic and thermal cracking steps whereby a high ratio of gasoline to coke is effected.
  • Catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons is well known in the petroleum industry. This particular process has made it possible to produce gasoline from petroleum fractions, such as gas oils, which have a boiling range substantially above the gasoline boiling range. Because of this process it has been possible to substantially increase the proportion of gasoline obtained from crude oil. In addition the octane number of the gasoline produced by catalytic cracking is substantially higher than the octane number of the gasoline fraction of crude oil.
  • a hydrocarbon gas oil is contacted with a bed of catalytic material in a reactor to thereby convert the gas oil to lower boiling components.
  • a number of types of catalyst beds have been employed such as fixed beds, moving beds and fluidized beds, all of which are well known in the petroleum industry.
  • a carbonaceous or cokelike deposit is laid down on the catalyst This carbonaceous deposit reduces the eifectiveness of the catalyst to convert the gas oil to lower boiling components and it is therefore necessary to remove this coke-like deposit from the catalyst, or in other words, to regenerate the catalyst so that the catalyst may be used for further catalytic cracking.
  • the introduction of gas oil to the catalyst bed is discontinued when the catalyst becomes fouled with coke and the bed is then regenerated by introducing an oxygen-containing gas to the bed in order to burn off the carbonaceous or cokelike deposit on the spent catalyst.
  • the catalyst bed can be utilized for further catalytic cracking.
  • the spent catalyst is withdrawn continuously from the reactor without interrupting the cracking process.
  • An oxygen-containing gas is then combined with the spent catalyst and the mixture is introduced into a vessel called a regenerator in which the carbonaceous deposit on the spent catalyst is burned off. After regeneration the catalyst is returned to the reactor and again employed to catalytically crack more gas oil.
  • the conversion of gas oil to gasoline may be increased in a catalytic cracking process.
  • reaction conditions such as temperature, space velocity, residence time, etc.
  • the conversion of gas oil to gasoline is increased, the amount of coke formed and laid down on the catalyst also increases.
  • the extent of this conversion is thus limited by the amount of carbonaceous or coke-like deposits laid down on the catalyst and the facilities pro vided for burning off these carbonaceous deposits. Therefore, there is normally an economic balance between the conversion of gas oil to gasoline and the investment required for regeneration facilities.
  • An object of the present invention is to effect a high conversion of gas oil to gasoline while at the same time to minimize the amount of coke formed on the catalyst.
  • Another object of the present invention is to reduce the investment in regeneration facilities required for catalytic cracking systems.
  • a further object is to produce stable products from a catalytic cracking process.
  • the present invention comprises contacting a hydrocarbon gas oil substantially all of which boils above about 430 F. with a cracking catalyst at a temperature of about 850-l050 F. and preferably at a temperature of about 900-1000 P. so that between about 30-50% by volume of the hydrocarbon gas oil is converted to coke, gasoline and other components boiling below about 430 F., and so that not more than about 5% by weight of the hydrocarbon gas oil is converted to coke.
  • the resultant vaporous hydrocarbon products are separated from the partially spent catalyst and are then maintained or soaked at a temperature between about 850-1050 F. and preferably at a temperature of about 900l000 F.
  • the resultant hydrocarbons are then contacted in an aftertreating step with additional catalyst, which is preferably the partially spent catalyst from the initial catalytic cracking step, so as to convert most of the diolefins to saturated hydrocarbon products to thereby improve the stability of the final products from the present invention.
  • additional catalyst which is preferably the partially spent catalyst from the initial catalytic cracking step, so as to convert most of the diolefins to saturated hydrocarbon products to thereby improve the stability of the final products from the present invention.
  • a minor amount of coke is formed and also a minor amount of additional conversion is effected in this catalytic aftertreating step.
  • the process of the present invention thereby provides a high ratio of stable gasoline to coke and also, as a result, investment in regeneration facilities is minimized.
  • the initial contacting of the hydrocarbon gas oil with catalyst results in the major portion of the conversion of the hydrocarbon gas oil to high quality gasoline.
  • the soaking step or predominantly thermal cracking step, provides additional conversion with essentially no further coke formation but with the disadvantage that a certain amount of diolefins are formed. About 25% of the total hydrocarbons from the soaking zone are diolefins.
  • the elimination of these diolefins in the catalytic after treating step substantially improves the stability of the final hydrocarbon products, including both gasoline and middle distillates, so that they are stable as to color and also will not oxidize to form undesirable gums and peroxides.
  • the catalytic after-treating step also improves the octane number of the gasoline fraction of the hydrocarbon products from the present invention, and also eifects a minor amount of additional conversion.
  • all three major steps namely, initial catalytic cracking, soaking, and catalytic aftertreating are essential to the present invention so as to produce the overall desirable results of a high ratio of yield of gasoline to yield of coke in addition to stable gasoline and middle distillate products.
  • a catalytic cycle stock containing about 40 weight percent aromatic rings will produce 6% by weight carbon at 40% conversion, 10% by weight at 50% conversion and about 16% by weight at 60% conversion in a conventional catalytic cracking process. From an economic standpoint, it would be very desirable to crack the cycle stock to a conversion of 5055%, for example, except for the high coke yield which would require very large regeneration facilities. Such a requirement is alleviated by the process of the present invention as the cycle stock would be processed to only about 35% conversion in the initial catalytic cracking step of the present invention. The hydrocarbon products from this initial catalytic cracking step would then be maintained at a temperature of about 950 F. for about 1 minute. At the end of this period a total conversion in the order of 50% would be achieved. The coke formation as a result would be only about by weight in the present invention, as compared to 13% by weight in a conventional catalytic cracking process.
  • the gas oil would be processed according to the present invention to 35-40% conversion in the initial catalytic cracking step and the resultant hydrocarbon products soaked for about 1 minute at about 950 F. to produce a final conversion of 5055% with a coke yield of less than 5% by weight.
  • the catalytic aftertreating step will produce a minor increase in coke and conversion.
  • the figure illustrates one form of apparatus for carrying out the process of the present invention when employing a finely divided catalyst which exhibits the properties of a fluid.
  • the catalyst employed may be a silicaalumina, silica-magnesia, etc. catalyst having a particle size range such that substantially all of the catalyst is of a size of about 10-100 microns. It is to be understood, however, that the present process is applicable also to fixed bed and moving bed types of catalytic cracking systems.
  • reference character 10 designates a reaction vessel for carrying out a portion of the process of the present invention
  • reference character 11 designates a regenerator for burning oif carbonaceous deposits on the fluidized catalyst in order to restore the catalytic activity of the catalyst.
  • Hydrocarbon gas oil and freshly regenerated catalyst are initially contacted in transfer line reactor 12 in which there is considerable turbulence.
  • the freshly regenerated catalyst at a temperature of about 1000-1300 F. enters one end of reactor 12 by means of standpipe 13 leading from regenerator 11 and the hydrocarbon gas oil enters the same end of reactor 12 by means of conduit 14.
  • the temperature in reactor 12 is maintained at about S50-1050 F. and preferably at about 9001000 F.
  • the space velocity of the vaporous hydrocarbon gas oil in reactor 12 is preferably between 10100 w./w./hr. (weight of hydrocarbon feed/weight of catalyst/hr.) and the pressure in reactor 12 is preferably between 15-50 p.s.i.g.
  • the superficial velocity of the vaporous hydrocarbons in reactor 12 is preferably about 10 to 50 ft./ sec. and the catalyst/ oil ratio on a weight basis is preferably about 5-30.
  • the partially converted hydrocarbons and partially spent catalyst from reactor 12 are discharged into separating zone 17 of vessel 10.
  • Reactor 12 connects tangentially with vessel 10 so as to impart a centrifugal action on the hydrocarbon vapors and partially spent catalyst.
  • the catalyst particles are thus forced by the centrifugal efiect to the wall of vessel 10 in separating zone 17.
  • Annular plate 18, which defines the upper boundary of separating zone 17, is arranged horizontally on the inside of vessel 10 to aid in the separation of catalyst from the vaporous hydrocarbons. Not more than 20% of the cross-sectional area of vessel 10 is restricted by annular plate 18.
  • the purpose of annular plate 18 is to prevent the layer of catalyst on the wall of vessel 10 from being swept upwardly by the rising hydrocarbon vapors.
  • the superficial velocity of the hydrocarbon vapors is considerably lower in separating zone 17 than in reactor 12, being about 0.5 to 5 ft./sec.
  • separating zone 17 the partially converted vaporous hydrocarbons are thus separated from the partially spent catalyst, with the partially converted vaporous hydrocarbons flowing upward in vessel 10 through the opening in annular plate 18 and the partially spent catalyst flowing downward along the wall of vessel 10 in separation zone 17 due to the force of gravity.
  • the further processing of these partially converted hydrocarbons will be presently discussed in detail.
  • the catalyst particles flowing downward from separating zone 17 enter a section of vessel 10 which is smaller in cross-section than separating zone 17 and which operates as stripping zone 19.
  • the catalyst in stripping zone 19 is maintained as a dense turbulent fluidized bed.
  • Steam or other suitable gasv is introduced into the lower portion of stripping zone 19 by means of lines 20, so that substantially all of the hydrocarbons which are entrained with the downflowing catalyst are stripped from the partially spent catalyst.
  • the steam and stripped hydrocarbon vapors from stripping zone 19 rise upward to separating zone 17.
  • Baflles 21 are provided in stripping zone 19 to increase the effectiveness of the stripping operation.
  • the major portion, namely, 50-95%, of the partially spent catalyst from stripping zone 19 flows downward through Standpipe 22 into riser 23.
  • Standpipe 22 is provided with valve 26 which regulates the flow of partially spent catalyst from vessel 10 into riser 23.
  • Standpipe 22 is also provided with line 27 which introduces a fluidizing gas, such as steam, to maintain the partially spent catalyst in a fluid condition.
  • An oxygen-containing gas is introduced into the bottom end of riser 23 by means of conduit 24 and the mixture of the oxygen-containing gas and partially spent catalyst is passed through riser 23 into the lower part of regenerator 11.
  • Grid 25 is employed at the discharge end of riser 23 to distribute the catalyst-gas mixture uniformly in regenerator 11. A small amount of the coke is burned off the catalyst in riser 23;
  • regenerator 11 In regenerator 11 the remainder of the coke like deposits on the catalyst are burned oil by the oxygencontaining gas. A dense turbulent fluid bed of catalyst particles is maintained in the lower portion of regenerator 11 at a temperature between about 10001300 F. A certain amount of the catalyst is carried upward in regenerator 11 from the dense fluid bed with the flue gases formed during the oxidation reaction. These entrained catalyst particles are removed by cyclone separator 45, or equivalent separating means, arranged at the top of regenerator 11. The flue gases are withdrawn from regenerator 11 by means of conduit 46 and the catalyst particles separated from the tide gas are returned to the dense bed of regenerator 11 by means of dip leg 47.
  • the partially converted vaporous hydrocarbons after being separated from the partially spent catalyst in separating zone 17 of vessel 10 pass upward through the opening of annular plate 18 into soaking zone 29 in reactor vessel 10.
  • Annular plate 18 in effect defines the boundary between separating zone 17 and soaking zone 29 in vessel 10.
  • a temperature of about 850-1050 F. and preferably about 900-'1000 F. is maintained in soaking zone 29.
  • the average temperature in soaking zone 29 is approximately 15-25 F. lower than the average temperature in reactor 12. This is becas'use the catalytic cracking step in reactor 12 and the thermal cracking step in soaking zone 29 are endothermic reactions which reduce the temperature of the hydrocarbon vapors.
  • the partially converted vaporous hydrocarbons are cracked in soaking zone 29such that an additional 2()% of the hydrocarbons are converted to gasoline and lower boiling components by maintaining the hydrocarbons in soaking zone 29 for about O.5-5 minutes.
  • a minor amount of the thermal cracking also occurs in separating zone 17 after the hydrocarbon vapors are separated from the catalyst and While these vapors are rising to soaking zone 29.
  • the vaporous hydrocarbon products from soaking zone 29 flow upward into a second contacting zone 30 in vessel 10 wherein the vaporous hydrocarbon products are contacted with partially spent catalyst.
  • a small portion of partially spent catalyst namely 5-50 of the partially spent catalyst from stripping zone 19, is withdrawn from Standpipe 22 by means of Standpipe 31.
  • Standpipe 31 is provided with valve 32 which regulates the rate of flow of the partially spent catalyst particles in Standpipe 31.
  • Standpipe 31 is also provided with line 33 through which a fluidizing gas, such as stream, is introduced in order to maintain the partially spent catalyst particles in standpipe 31 in a fluid state.
  • the partially spent catalyst particles enter the lower portion of riser 34 from Standpipe 31 Where they are combined with a fluidizing gas, such as steam, which enters the lower portion of riser 34 by means of line 35.
  • the partially spent catalyst particles are carried upwards through riser 34 and are discharged into the upper portion of second contacting zone 30 of vessel 10 above top tray 36.
  • Hroizontally arranged perforated plates or trays 36, 37 and 38 are provided in contacting zone 30 to provide intimate contacting between the hydrocarbon vapors and the partially spent catalyst.
  • the catalyst in zone 30 is maintained in separate dense fluidized beds on plates 36, 37 and 38. The rising hydrocarbon vapors pass through the opening in the plates and then flow through the dense fluidized bed on each plate.
  • Each perforated plate is provided with a downcomer which maintains a definite level of catalyst on each plate and also provides a means for the catalyst to flow from one tray to the tray below.
  • the top of the downcomer of each tray is installed at a suflicient height above the tray so as to maintain the level of the fluidized bed of catalyst on the tray above the bottom of the downcomer from the tray-above in order to prevent the hydrocarbon vapors from passing up through the downcomer to the tray-above.
  • partially spent catalyst discharged from riser 34 forms a dense turbulent fluidized bed on top of plate 36.
  • Downcomer 41 differs from the other downcomers in that the catalyst from downcomer 41 is discharged into separating zone 17. Downcomer 41 communicates with separating zone 17 by means or" an opening in annular plate 18. Catalyst leaving downcomer 41 is thus introduced to separating zone 17 at the wall of vessel 10 where the catalyst combines with the catalyst being separated in separating zone 17 and then moves downward due to the force of gravity into the dense fluidized bed in stripping zone 19.
  • the present invention is not restricted to three such plates as shown in the figure since one or more plates can be employed for the purposes of the present invention.
  • any equivalent contacting means could be employed in contacting zone 30.
  • the partially spent catalyst withdrawn from contacting zone 30 could be passed directly to riser 23 or to regenerator 11 after separately stripping any entrained hydrocarbons from it. It is preferable to employ spent catalyst in contacting zone 30 because the purpose of the catalytic aitertreating step in contacting zone 30 is to provide a mild cracking step with little coke formation so as to convert the diolefins which were formed in the thermal cracking step in soaking zone 29 to saturated hydrocarbon forms.
  • This step improves the octane number of the gasoline fraction and, in addition, improves the stability of all the hydrocarbon products from the present invention including the gasoline and middle distillate fractions. Also, a minor amount of additional conversion, namely, 26%, is effected in the catalytic aftertreating step.
  • hydrocarbon vapors, or resultant stable lower boilingcomponents from the original hydrocarbon gas oil rise from contacting zone 30 together with a minor amount of entrained catalyst particles and pass through cyclone separator 42, or equivalent separating means, wherein the vaporous hydrocarbon products are separated from the entrained catalyst.
  • the hydrocarbon vapors essentially free from catalyst leave the top of vessel 10 by means of conduit 43 and the catalyst particles separated from the hydrocarbon vapors in separator 42 are returned to the dense fluid bed on plate 36 in contacting zone 30 by means of dip leg 44.
