Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Maximum conversion of black oil charge stocks to distillable hydrocarbon products is achieved through a combination process involving solvent deasphalting, solvent deresining and multiple-stage hydrocracking.
  • Petroleum crude oils particularly the heavy oils extracted from tar sands, topped or reduced crudes, vacuum residuum, etc., contain high molecular weight sulfurous compounds in exceedingly large quantities.
  • black oils contain excessive quantities of nitrogenous compounds, high molecular weight organometallic complexes, principally containing nickel and vanadium, and varying quantities of asphaltenic material.
  • An abundant supply of these hydrocarbonaceous charge stocks exists, most of which have a gravity less than about 20.0 API.
  • Black oils are generally further characterized by a boiling range indicating that 10.0 percent by volume, or more, boils above a temperature of about 1,050F.
  • the combination process of the present invention is particularly directed toward the catalytic conversion of black oils to produce desulfurized, distillable hydrocarbons, and to effect such conversion in a manner which results in a volumetric yield approaching and/or exceeding 100.0 percent.
  • black oils illustrative of those to which the present process is applicable, include a vacuum tower bottoms having a gravity of 7.1 API, and containing 4.05 percent by weight of sulfur and 23.7 percent by weight of asphaltics; a topped crude oil, having a gravity of 11.0 API, and containing 10.1 percent by weight of asphaltics and 5.20 percent by weight of sulfur; and, a vacuum residuum having a gravity of about 8.8 API, containing 3.0 percent by weight of sulfur and 4,300 ppm. by weight of nitrogen, and having a 20.0 volumetric distillation temperature of about 1,055F.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an economically feasible fixed-bed catalytic process for converting hydrocarbonaceous black oils into distillable hydrocarbons of lower molecular weight and boiling range.
  • a corollary objective is to maximize the production of desulfurized hydrocarbons from a given quantity of an asphaltene-containing black oil.
  • Another object is to provide a process which affords an extension of the effective, acceptable life of the catalytic composite employed in the conversion reaction zones.
  • the present invention encompasses a process for the conversion of an asphaltene-containing hydrocarbonaceous charge stock, to produce lowerboiling hydrocarbon products, which process comprises the steps of: (a) deasphalting said charge stock with a selective solvent, in a first solvent extraction zone, at extraction conditions selected to provide (i) a solvent-lean asphaltic pitch and (ii) a solvent-rich, deasphalted first liquid phase; (b) deresining at least a portion of said first liquid phase with a selective solvent, in a second solvent extraction zone, at extraction conditions selected to provide (i) a solvent-lean resin concentrate and (ii) a deresined second liquid phase; (0) reacting at least a portion of said resin concentrate with hydrogen, in a first catalytic reaction zone, at hydrocracking conditions selected to convert resins into lower-boiling hydrocarbons; (d) reacting at least a portion of said deresined second liquid phase and at least a portion of the resulting first reaction zone eff
  • the extraction conditions in said second extraction zone include a higher temperature (10F. to 200F. higher) than that in said first extraction zone.
  • at least a portion of the resulting first reaction zone effluent is introduced into the second solvent extraction zone.
  • the asphaltic material is dispersed within the black oil, and, when subjected to the operating conditions required to effect desulfurization, has the tendency to agglomerate and polymerize, as a result of which the active surfaces of the catalytic composite are effectively shielded from the material being processed.
  • the combination process encompassed by the pres- 'ent inventive concept, utilizes a solvent deasphalting, or solvent extraction zone to precipitate and remove a metal-containing asphaltic concentrate. It must necessarily be acknowledged that the prior art is replete with a wide spectrum of techniques for effecting solvent deasphalting of asphaltene-containing hydrocarbonaceous charge stocks. No attempt is herein made to claim solvent deasphalting other than as an integral element of the present combination process. Any suitable solvent deasphalting technique known in the prior art may be employed, several examples of which are hereinafter described. In the interest of brevity, no attempt will be made to delineate exhaustively the solvent deasphalting art.
  • Suitable solvents include light petroleum hydrocarbons such as naphtha, casing-head gasoline, light petroleum fractions comprising propane, n-butane and isobutane, certain alcohols, ether and mixtures thereof, etc.
  • US. Pat. No. 2,002,004 (Class 208-l4) involves a 2-stage deasphalting process wherein the second stage completes the precipitation of asphalts which was only partially effected in the first stage.
  • the described solvents include naphtha, casing head gasoline, and liquefied normally gaseous hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane, butanes, and mixtures thereof, etc.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 2,914,457 (Class 208-79) describes a multiple combination process involving fractionation, vacuum distillation, solvent deasphalting,. hydrogenation and catalytic reforming.
  • the suitable liquid deasphalting solvents include liquefied normally gaseous hydrocarbons such as propane, n-butane, isobutane, as well as ethane, ethylene, propylene, nbutylene, isobutylene, pentane, isopentane, and mixtures thereof.
  • the deasphalting zone functions to reject an asphaltic pitch and to produce a deasphalted oil containing convertible resins.
  • prior art techniques do not distinguish between the asphaltenic material and resins; that is, prior art processes reject resins along with the asphaltic pitch. This is contrary to the present combination process wherein the resin-containing deasphalted oil is subjected to a solvent deresining technique.
  • the solvent-lean resin concentrate is subsequently reacted with hydrogen, in a first catalytic reaction zone at hydrocracking conditions selected to convert resins into lower-boiling hydrocarbons.
  • the deasphalted and deresined oil preferably in admixture with the lowerboiling hydrocarbons from the conversion of the resin concentrate, is reacted in a second catalytic reaction zone at hydrocracking conditions selected to produce additional lower-boiling hydrocarbons.
  • deasphalting and deresining designate the separate rejection of an asphaltic pitch and a resin concentrate from the black oil charge stock.
  • the precise nature of these two fractions is widely dependent upon the origin of the crude oil and on the extraction conditions employed.
  • deasphalting generally refers to a one-stage precipitation as applied to an asphalt-containing residuum
  • deresining refers to a similar treatment conducted on an essentially asphalt-free residuum. Accordingly, deasphalting and deresining apply to the rejection of two contiguous bottoms fractions regardless of their exact nature.
  • Deasphalting and deresining are carried out under the same general range of operating conditions.
  • a preferred technique involves operating the deresining zone at a higher temperature than the deasphalting zone, about 10F. to about 200F. higher, in order to recover the resin concentrate with the deasphalted oil, while rejecting an asphaltic pitch.
  • the solvent extraction zones will function at temperatures in the range of about 50F. to about 600F., and preferably from about F. to about 400F.; the pressure will be maintained within the range of about 100 to about 1,000 psig., and preferably from about 200 to about 600 psig.
  • the solvent/oil volumetric ratio will generally be in the range of about 2.0:1.0 to about 30011.0.
  • the deresining operation will employ a higher temperature and a greater solvent/oil volumetric ratio.
  • deasphalting will be effected at a solvent/oil ratio of 6.0210 and a temperature of 100F. to F.; the deresining zone will utilize a propane/oil ratio of l0.0:1.0 and a temperature of 140F. to about 180F.
  • the rejected asphaltic pitch has an average molecular weight in the range of 3,000 to 6,000, and will contain 75.8 percent to 90.0 percent by weight of the metallic contaminants originally present in the fresh feed charge stock.
  • the sulfur content will be approximately twice that of the charge stock.
  • the resin concentrate will exhibit a significantly lower average molecular weight, about 1,000 to about 4,000, and will contain a minor proportion of metals; the sulfur content will be about one and one-half times that of the charge stock.
  • the precise operating conditions in the solvent extraction zones will generally depend upon the physical characteristics of the feed stock as well as the selected solvent.
  • Suitable solvents include those hereinbefore described with respect to prior art deasphalting techniques.
  • the, solvent will be selected from the group of light hydrocarbons including ethane, methane, propane, butane, isobutane, pentane, isopentane, neopentane, hexane, isohexane, heptane, the mono-olefinic counterparts thereof, etc.
  • the solvent may be a normally liquid naphtha fraction containing hydrocarbons having from about five to about 14 carbon atoms per molecule, and preferably a naphtha distillate having an end boiling point below about 200F.
  • the solvent-rich, normally liquid phase is introduced into a suitable solvent recovery system, the design and operation of which are thoroughly described in the prior art.
  • the convertible resin concentrate is processed in a separate reaction zone at conditions selected to convert the sameinto lower-boiling hydrocarbons.
  • the scheme additionally permits the processing of the deasphalted and deresined oil in the absence of both asphalts and resins and under conditions reflecting greater yields of normally liquid hydrocarbon products.
  • a preferred operating techique involves introducing at least a portion of the converted resin concentrate effluent into the deresining zone for the recovery therein of the lower-boiling products along with the normally liquid deasphalted oil. The mixture is then separately processed in a second hydrocracking and/or hydrotreating reaction zone.
  • the catalytic composites disposed within the first and second reaction zones, may be of different physical and chemical characteristics in many instances, suchis not an essential feature of my invention, and the catalytic composites may, therefore, be identical.
  • the catalytic composites utilized in the present combination process comprise metallic components selected from the metals of Groups Vl-B and VIII of the Periodic Table, as well as compounds thereof.
  • suitable metallic components are those selected from the group consisting of chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, iron, ruthenium, osmium, cobalt, rhodium, iridium, nickel, palladium, and platinum.
  • catalytic composites especially for utilization in the conversion of exceedingly high sulfur content feed stocks, are improved through the incorporation of a zinc, tin and/or bismuth component.
  • the latter three metallic components are more advantageously utilized, in the present invention, as part of the catalytic composite selected to process the resin concentrate.
  • the utilization of the term component when referring to the catalytically active metal, or metals, is intended to encompass the existence of the metal as a compound, such as oxide, sulfide, etc., or in the elemental state. Regardless, the concentrations of metallic components are calculated as if the metal existed within the composite in theelemental state. While neither the precise composition, nor the method of manufacturing the various catalytic composites, is considered essential to my invention, certain aspects are preferred.
  • the charge stock to the present process is generally of a high-boiling nature, it is preferred that the catalytically active metallic components possess the propensity for effecting hydrocracking reactions while simultaneously promoting the conversion of sulfurous compounds into hydrogen sulfide and hydrocarbons.
  • concentration of the active metallic component, or components is primarily depended upon the particular metal as well as the physical and/or chemical characteristics of the charge stocks.
  • the metallic components of Group Vl-B are generally present in an amount within the range of about 4.0 percent to about 30.0 percent by weight, the iron-group metals in an amount within the range of about 0.2 percent to about 10.0 percent by weight, whereas the noble metals of Group VIII are preferably present in an amount within the range of about 0.1 percent to about 5.0 percent by weight.
  • a zinc, tin and/or bismuth component is employed, the same will generally be present in an amount within the range of about 0.01 percent to about 2.0 percent by weight. All concentrations are computed as if the metallic components existed within the catalytic composite in the elemental state.

This catalytic composite will contain, in addition to alumina and silica, boron phosphate in theamount of about 5.0 percent to about 30.0 percent by weight.
  • the metallic components may be incorporated within the catalytic composite in any suitable manner including co-precipitation or cogellation with the carrier material, ion-exchange or impregnation of the carrier material, or during a co-extrusion procedure.

  • the upper limit for the calcination technique is preferably about 1,000F.
  • the second reaction zone will generally function at operating conditions providing a greater severity of operation, although such technique is not necessarily essential.
  • the variance in operating severity between the two reaction zones may be obtained by the adjustment of the pressure, maximum catalyst bed temperature and liquid hourly space velocities.
  • the higher severity operation within the second reaction zone will normally be effected at an increased pressure, an increased maximum catalyst bed temperature and at a somewhat decreased liquid hourly space velocity, or some combination thereof.
