Definitions

  • the object of this invention is to provide a pretreatment means which will permit an increase in the end point of cracking feeds and subsequent cracking without an increase in the metals and carbon level laid down on the catalyst in continuous operations.
  • Briefly summarizing the process comprises solvent treatment of the feed at supercritical conditions followed by catalytic cracking, hydrocracking, or both.
  • a very important embodiment of the invention comprises treatment of certain cycle streams in the process.

  • FIGURE 3 is a flow sheet illustrating a hydrocracking embodiment.
  • the objective of the supercritical separation step of the process is to provide the maximum yield of light oil from which the compounds containing metals and the hydrocarbons having a high Conradson carbon have been excluded.
  • supercritical separation is a means of separating a mixture into component fractions employing as separating agent a relatively low molecular weight compound at supercritical temperature and pressure.
  • the separation of the fraction(s) is primarily by boiling point of the components and this is similar to distillation. In addition some influences of compound type are evident resulting in a separation effects like those of solvent extraction.
  • a requirement of supercritical separation is that at least two phases must be formed by the solvent-feed mixture. If the properties of the feed are too similar to those of the solvent the mutual solubility of the two will be SO great that the formation of two phases will require an inordinate quantity of solvent or carrier gas relative to the quantity of oil feed. Generally it is preferred that the initial boiling point of the feed should be about 200 F. above the critical temperature of the solvent.
  • the mode of operation of supercritical separation and the processing equipment used are similar to those used in solvent extraction.
  • the solvent or carrier gas is mixed with the fraction to be separated at supercritical conditions and two phases are formed. The phases are allowed to separate in a settler.
  • the feed and solvent are passed through a tower at supercritical conditions with refiux. A light phase is recovered overhead and a heavy phase is recovered as bottoms from the tower. The solvent is recovered from the separated fractions and recycled.
  • CT+ i.e. critical temperature plus
  • Pressure is also an important operating variable.
  • the capacity of a solvent or a carrier gas to extract a light oil phase from an oil feed is essentially nil at pressures near the critical pressure of the solvent. This capacity increases with increasing pressure.
  • This operating pressure shall sometimes hereinafter be referred to as CP+, i.e. critical pressure plus.
  • CP+ i.e. critical pressure plus.
  • the light phase taken overhead from the supercritical separation zone comprises a mixture of solvent and light oil at supercritical conditions.
  • the oil can be recovered from the solvent by either increasing the temperature or by decreasing the pressure on the light phase.
  • the light phase can be divided into a multiplicity of fractions by stagewise alteration of temperature or pressure. This separation is by boiling point with the heaviest or least volatile materials being removed in the first stage while successively lighter fractions are obtained in the subsequent stages.
  • the feed is studied in conjunction with the desired result.
  • a prime feed would boil in the range of about 500-1000 F. and contain less than 2 p.p.m. metals (nickel equivalent).
  • the Conradson carbon should be below 1.0 wt. percent.
  • a suitable solvent is selected having a critical temperature of about 200 F. less than that of the feedstock.
  • propane or a propane-butane mixture would be satisfactory.
  • a eries of autoclave runs are made to determine the optimum separation temperature, pressure and solvent to oil ratio.
  • the autoclave is charged with oil and heated to a selected supercritical temperature.
  • the system is pressured to a suitable supercritical pressure.
  • a light solventoil phase is expanded to atmospheric pressure through a back pressure regulator.
  • the gaseous solvent is metered through a wet test meter.
  • the solubility of oil in the solvent is determined from the product volume and wet test meter readings. Any desired number of runs can be made to obtain the conditions necessary for eliminating metals and coke formers from the cat cracking feed.
  • a suitable feed from which a cat cracking feed can be separated is passed by line 1 through pump 2 into the first supercritical separation unit 3.
  • Suitable feedstocks include topped petroleum crude oils, atmospheric residuums.
  • partially refined fractions such as coker distillates, thermally cracked fractions, wide cut heavy gas oils and other petroleum fractions can be included in varying amounts. Since one object of the pretreatment is to reduce the metals content of the feed to less than 10 p.p.m., preferably less than 2 p.p.m. equivalent nickel it is desirable that the material in line 1 contain less than about 200 p.p.m. metals equivalent nickel. In the case of high metals feeds it may be necessary to accept a lower yield from supercritical separation so that a low metals cracking feed is assured.
  • a cracking feed could contain 1 p.p.m. nickel and about 8 p.p.m. vanadium since the latter has only about one-eighth the effect of nickel. This feed would be said to contain 2 p.p.m. equivalent nickel. Iron, copper and other metals also have an arbitrarily assigned equivalence to nickel.
  • the feed may be preheated to any desired temperature.
  • the supercritical solvent is passed by line 4 into line 1 to mix with the feed.
  • the solvent sometimes hereinafter referred to as the carrier gas is preferably propane in this particular embodiment.
  • any inert solvent having a suitable critical temperature and pressure can be used.
  • a preferred group of solvents are the light aliphatic hydrocarbons containing 2 to 8 carbon atoms in the molecule. Critical properties of some of the light hydrocarbons are set forth below in Table I.
  • a light phase comprising solvent and oil is recovered overhead by line 5 and a heavy phase, containing a minor amount of solvent, is recovered as bottoms by line 6.
  • Pressure reduction and cooling are effected by valve 7 and cooler 8 and asphalt is recovered as a product.
  • the solvent can be recovered for reuse in the process by means not shown.
  • control of the supercritical separation step and the quality of the cracking feed is maintained by heating means 9.
  • the heating means may be any suitable device, internal or external to the tower which heats the material passing through the top section of the tower. In this way a reflux action is achieved.
  • Valve 10 in line 5 maintains separation pressure at the desired level. Pressure and temperature reduction on the light phase is accomplished by valve 10 and cooler 11. From separator 12 the solvent passes overhead as a gas through line 13.
  • the gas is cooled in cooler 14 and pumped by pump 15 and lines 4 and 1 back into tower 3.
  • the light phase oil is removed from separator 12 by line 16 and passed through pressure reduction valve 17 and heater 18 into flash tower 19.

While distillate hydrocracking is a. successful commercial process, essentially no residuum hydrocracking process has found general acceptance.
