United States Patent 3,208,933 PROCESS FOR HYDROREFINING AND CRACK- ING GAS OILS T0 PRODUCE GASOLINE Reading Barlow Smith, Flossmoor, Ill., assignor to Sinclair Research, Inc., Wilmington, Del., a corporation of Delaware Filed Oct. 2, 1962, Ser. No. 227,787 8 Claims. '(Cl. 208-89) The present invention relates to a process for hydrotreating and catalytically cracking hydrocarbon feedstocks. More specifically this invention relates to an improved process wherein the hydrotreatment is integrated with the cracking facilities. Catalytic cracking feedstocks such as gas oils ordinarily contain contaminants such as sulfur and organo-metallic compounds as well as coke precursors. The presence of significant amount of sulfur compounds in cracking feeds is undesirable in that the gasoline and other products from the catalytic cracking unit will also contain sulfur. Organo-metallic impurities, usually compounds of metals such as nickel, vanadium, iron, etc., tend to poison the cracking catalysts and thereby increase the cost of the Coke precursors are disadvantageous in that the coke production they effect reduces conversion levels. Consequently, it has often been proposed to prepare these cracking feedstocks prior to their introduction into cracking units by subjecting them to a hydrotreating operation. Hydrotreating of these feeds is known to reduce their contaminating metal, sulfur content and coke precursors.
The hydrogenation unit operation commonly employed in this preparatory hydrotreating step effects partial heating of the feedstock by indirect heat exchange contact with the hydrogenation reactor eflluent, heating the feedstock to reaction temperature in a hydrogenation reactor preheater and then introducing the feedstock into a hydrogenation reactor provided with a sulfur-resistant hydrogenation catalyst. The effluent from the hydrogenation reactor is cooled and flashed, the liquid portion being sent to a stripper which removes the hydrogen sulfide. The vapor portion from the flashing operation is again cooled and collected in a second flash drum, after which the resulting condensate is sent to a stripper overhead receiver where a decrease in pressure releases the dissolved hydrogen sulfide. The overhead from the stripper is cooled and also sent to the overhead receiver. The hydrogenated and stripped liquid effluent products from the stripper are then sent to the cracking unit preheater.
Hydrogenation units of the type described, however, are very expensive and thereby reduce the economic attractiveness of the process. A big disadvantage is the heating requirements involved in these systems, that is, the heating of the feed for hydrogenation, cooling and reheating for cracking. It is evident, therefore, that a process that reduces the capital requirements of these hydrogenation facilities and avoids the expense of cooling and reheating would be in large demand.
It has now been found that integrating the hydrogenation unit operation with a catalytic cracking unit in accordance with the process of the present invention materially reduces the requirements for heat exchanging, cooling, flashing, stripping and heating the various streams in the system. Moreover, cooling and reheating the liquid hydrogenated product is avoided, and as a result, elevated temperatures are maintained throughout the integrated hydrogenation process of the present invention.
The process of the present invention can be best described by the following example with reference to the accompanying drawing wherein is shown diagrammatically an integrated hydrogenation process embodying the present invention.
Patented Sept. 28, 1965 Referring to the drawing, 37,000 barrels per day of a virgin gas oil from a mixture of 60% Kuwait and 40% North Texas crude oil is heated by indirect heat exchange in heat exchanger 1 with the products from a fluidized catalytic cracking reactor (not shown). The partially heated feedstock is then pumped into the preheater 3. The virgin gas oil feedstock has the following physical properties:
Gravity, API 22.8 Percent H 12.24 Percent S 2.22 Percent N 0.11 Carbon residue (Rams) 0.468 ASTM 200 ml. Vac. Dist. IBP 615 50% 839 1028 Metals:
NiO, p.p.m 0.29 V 0 p.p.rn. 1.36 Cr, p.p.m. 0.17 Fe, p.p.m. 1.3
The feedstock leaves preheater 3 at about 760 F. and is joined with cool hydrogen (as recycle H via line 7 at a rate of 250 s.c.f. of H per barrel of feed. The combined hydrogen-feedstock stream is then introduced by means of line 9 into hydrogenation reactor 11 provided with a fixed bed of cobalt molybdate on alumina catalyst. The catalyst analyzes 2.7% C00 and 11.9% M00 on alumina. The hydrogenation conditions employedin the reactor 11 are as follows:

H /bbl. of feed 250 The hydrogenation reactor eifluent is withdrawn from reactor 11 and directed by line 13 into a separator 15, wherein the efiluent is separated at approximately reaction temperature and pressure to yield a vapor phase and a liquid phase. The separation temperature is within about 10 F. and the separation pressure is within about 10 p.s.i. of the conditions at the outlet of reactor 11. The resulting liquid product is analyzed and the yield determined after 116 and 212 hours, respectively, of on stream operation. The results are shown in Table I below.

The improved liquid product from separator 15 is then sent via line 16 to the cracking reactor (not shown). The vapor phasefrom the separator 15 is directed via line 17 into absorber 19 where it contacts as itflows upwardly a downward flow of lean gas oil provided the absorber 19 by means of line 20, which oil absorbs valuable normally liquid hydrocarbon components from the vapors from separator 15. The temperature of the absorber oil introduced into absorber 19 is about 150 F. or below and the amount of absorber oil employed is that sufiicient to absorb the liquid hydrocarbons and cool the gases. Depending on the amount of vapor entering the absorber the temperature and amount of the absorber oil are regulated to provide release gas from the absorber having a low temperature that is, below about 200 F., preferably below about 150 F., and a fat oil, that is absorber oil, containing the absorbed hydrocarbon components, exhibiting a temperature increase over the temperature of the absorber oil introduced of at least about 200 F., preferably at least about 250 F. In the instant case a lean gas oil temperature of 100 F. and an amount of about 5000 barrels per day of lean gas oil are used to absorb 1450 barrels per day of normally liquid hydrocarbons out of the vapor stream. The absorber oil of the present invention is a gas oil which can be provided by the cracking unit fractionator (not shown) as recycle or it can be untreated cracking stock such as untreated or straight run gas oil. Release gas at a temperature of 120 F. and containing H S is taken overhead and sent to other processing systems or, since it is rich in hydrogen, employed as recycle to the hydrogenation reactor 11.
The fat oil at a temperature of 395 F. is withdrawn from absorber 19 through line 21 and combined with the hydrogenated liquid phase from separator 15, which liquid phase has a temperature substantially that of the hydrocarbon reaction temperature to provide a mixture having a temperature of 695 F. The mixture is then sent via line 16 to the catalytic cracking reactor system. The mixture is combined with hot catalyst from the cracking unit catalyst regenerator to raise the hydrocarbons to reaction temperature of about 900 F.
Thus, the present invention provides a feed suitable for introduction into a catalytic cracking reaction system while maintaining an elevated temperature throughout the hydrogenation operation and without the necessity of reheating the liquid hydrogenated products from the hydrogenation operation. In the case where untreated feedstock is used as the absorber lean oil, the absorber fat oil can be joined with the feedstock being introduced into preheater 3. In this way, all of the feedstock would be treated but the unit would not be dependent on the production of cycle oil or lighter fractions for absorber lean oil. If desired, a heat exchanger can be provided to indirectly exchange heat from' the vapor from separator 15 with the absorber fat oil. jBrovision of this exchanger has been found to advantageously reduce the overall absorption temperature and provide a better recovery of the light components created in the hydrogenation reactor.
The preheater 3 canbe any preheater commonly employed to heat the cracking feedstock to reaction temperatures prior to introduction into the catalytic cracking reactors. The hydrogen can be combined with the feedstock after the feedstock has passed through preheater 3 in which case the amount of hydrogen is regulated so as to form a combined hydrogen-feedback stream having the desired hydrogenation temperature, which temperature is lower than that required to eir'ect substantial cracking, or the hydrogen can be combined with the feedstock prior to the preheater and thus the combined stream heated to the desired temperature.
The hydrogenation reaction conditions employed in the hydrogenation reactor will generally fall in the following ranges; temperature, about 550 to 800 F., preferably about 700 to 750 F.; pressure, about 200 to 1500 p.s.i.g., preferably about 300 to 500 p.s.i.g.; weight hourly space velocity (WHSV), about 0.1 to 10, preferably about 0.5 to 4 and a molecular hydrogen to hydrocarbon feed rate of about 250 to 5000 standard cubic feet (s.c.f.) of hydrogen per barrel of feed. The catalyst employed can be any of the conventional sulfur-resistant hydrogenation catalysts as, for example, cobalt molybdate on alumina. The hydrogenation can be carried out in single or multiple reactors, often a series of 2 to 5 reactors.
The cracking reactor to which the absorber fat oil and the hydrogenated liquid phase from the separator are sent can be of the fixed, moving or fluidized bed type and can employ the cracking conditions and catalysts ordinarily employed in these operations. These conditions include, for instance, a temperature of about 800 to 1100 F., a pressure of about atmospheric to 50 p.s.i.g. and no substantial amount of free or molecular hydrogen is added to the cracking reactor. A particularly preferred solid refractory oxide-catalyst is silica-alumina.
