Definitions

  • the invention defined herein is concerned with an improved sequence of conversion steps which will more efficiently utilize the capabilities of a crystalline zeolite cracking catalyst of high activity and high selectivity.
  • This invention relates to the catalytic cracking of hydrocarbon oils having finely divided catalyst particles suspended in gasiform material comprising hydrocarbon reactant material. It relates more particularly to the catalytic cracking of selected hydrocarbon oils or fractions thereof with suspended catalyst particles of high activity and selectivity-under conditions selected to produce gasoline and improve upon the heat balance of the operation.
  • the method and arrangement of processing steps of this invention is designed to make maximum use of low coke forming type crystalline zeolite cracking catalyst in short contact time riser reactors at elevated cracking temperatures.
  • the present invention is concerned with a method of operation which will circumvent the problems associated with using high activity crystalline zeolite cracking catalysts at high temperatures and low catalyst to oil ratios resulting in a used catalyst of relatively low carbon content.
  • the essence of the method and system herein described comprises a dual riser fluid catalytic cracking system effected with freshly regenerated catalyst in a first riserreactor and a mixture of freshlyregenerated catalyst with catalyst separated from the conversion products of the first riser in a second riser reactor.
  • the present invention is particularly designed and directed to the use of a relatively high catalyst to oil ratio in a second riser reactor so as to increase the severity of the cracking operation therein over that employed in a first riser reactor in addition to providing more optimum utilization of the available crystalline zeolite cracking catalyst activity in the processing combination.
  • a low coke producing high selective crystalline zeolite cracking catalyst may be used much more efficiently.
  • hydrocarbon charge stock and regeneration gas preheat facilities may be reduced over that required in a prior art system using the same low coke producing catalyst.
  • the processing of high molecular weight charge fractions and/or heavy recycle oils may be accomplished in a short contact time riser reactor at a higher or lower average temperature and a higher catalyst to oil ratio than used for processing a lower molecular weight oil charge in a separate riser reactor.
  • the high activity low coke producing catalyst may be more selectively employed for converting hydrocarbon charge materials at temperatures in the range of 900F. to 1200F. employing catalyst-oil residence time less than 15 seconds and catalyst to oil ratios as high as 25 to 1.
  • the conversion selectively of the catalyst is enhanced in the processing sequence by the use of diluent viding a major portion of the endothermic reaction heat requirements of the dual riser conversion system.
  • the present invention relates to the catalytic conversion of hydrocarbons with a selective high activity CAS crystalline aluminosilicate catalytic composition under elevated temperature conversion conditions maintained within restricted catalyst-oil residence contact time and catalyst to oil ratios in order to produce gasoline.
  • the present invention is concerned with and relates to the method and means for effecting a selective cracking of hydrocarbon charge materials to gasoline boiling product with a very selective low coke producing crystalline alumino-sili'cate catalyst composition.
  • the contact time between catalyst and hydrocarbon varies with the hydrocarbon charge passed to the selective cracking operation.
  • the cracking operation effected in a dispersed catalyst phase relation zone is restricted to orders of magnitude amounting to only a few seconds up to about 15 seconds and in most instances the contact time will be restricted depending upon composition of the hydrocarbon charge to within the range of 4 to 12 seconds.
  • the concepts essential to practicing the present invention includes the method and sequence of catalyst cascade which will permit employing cracking temperatures in the range of 900F. to about l,200F. at a number of different catalyst to oil ratios and contact times herein identified.
  • Further salient features of the present concept include the use of low coke producing catalysts in the riser reactors, desired catalyst-oil suspension relationships in a relatively low catalyst inventory system, and maximizing the use of heat available in the system to effect the catalytic conversion desired.
  • the processing concepts of this invention include a restricted contact time between a suspension of high activity catalyst and hydrocarbon feed being converted before discharge of the suspension into suitable separation equipment.
  • Separation equipment particularly suitable for this purpose comprises one or more cyclone separators'at the discharge end of transfer line reactors which will minimize the time for separating catalyst particles and hydrocarbon material without substantially cooling upon discharge from the transfer line cracking zone.
  • the use of several small cyclones in series reduces the separation time even though such small cyclones are subject to the constraint of some oil-catalyst mixing.
  • a relatively high boiling virgin feed hydrocarbon material is passed to a first riser reactor with freshly regenerated catalyst for a limited residence time therein.
  • a relatively high coke making hydrocarbon material such as coker gas oil and recycle hydrocarbons of the cracking operation is passed to a second riser reaction in contact with a mixture of catalyst comprising catalyst used in the first reactor and freshly regenerated catalyst.
  • a diluent fluid such as wet or dry recycle gas or stream may be used in either or both reactors to reduce hydrocarbon partial pressure and/or control contact time by increasing total velocity of vapors and coke particles in the reactor.
  • the improved method of operation herein defined for converting low and high boiling hydrocarbons either in a vapor, liquid and/or a partially vaporized condition depending upon the boiling range of the hydrocarbon charge relies upon a gasifo rm d ilue nt material being mixed with the charge to control the hydrocarbon partial pressure.
  • the diluent also assists in breaking up the hydrocarbon feed into relatively fine droplets which more uniformly dis tribute themselves in intimate contact with the fine catalyst particles.
  • Uasiform diluent materials which may be employed in the processing combination of this invention with varying degrees of success include steam, light gaseous hydrcarbons known as dry gas (C and lighter hydrocarbons) or wet gaseous hydrocarbon streams such as those comprising C and C hydrocarbons.
  • a further important aspect going to the very essence of this invention concerns itself with an apparatus and catalyst system of greatly improved flexibility going beyond that heretofore provided for utilizing the highly selective catalyst and heat available therefrom in a manner which permits conversion of hydrocarbon charge material of different coke producing characteristics to more acceptable products with greater efficiency.
  • operating flexibility to achieve desired levels of conversion on a per pass basis is contemplated and such variation may be had by providing one or more, for example, a plurality of suitably spaced apart hydrocarbon feed inlet nozzles along the length of riser reactor processing fresh or virgin feed material.
  • preheated diluent material is combined with the hot freshly regenerated catalyst to form a suitable high temperature suspension which is caused to flow through the riser or confined reaction zone to which point of inlet of the hydrocarbon feed to be converted.
  • the hydrocarbon feed is mixed with the flowing high temperature suspension and converted during transverse of the remaining portion of the reaction zone to a suspension separator such as one or more cyclone separators.
  • a suspension separator such as one or more cyclone separators.
  • the catalyst separated from the riser reactor processing fresh or virgin feed being of relatively high temperature approaching l,0O0F. is subjected to a limited stripping action without substantially reducing the temperature of the separated catalyst.
  • the stripped catalyst containing a small amount of residual carbonaceous material because of the low coke producing characteristics of the catalyst ,at the high temperatures employed is then combined with a quantity of freshly regenerated catalyst in an amount sufficient to form a mixture of catalyst having an elevated temperature sufficient for converting recycle feed in a second riser reactor as herein provided.
  • the suspension passed through the second riser reactor under cracking conversion conditions is discharged into suitable separator equipment arranged to effect quick separation of catalyst particles from hydrocarbon vapors.
  • the hydrocarbon vapors of the first and second riser reaction zones are recovered and passed to suitable fl'lLliUllfillll equipment.
  • the catalyst eparated from the second suspension is stripped and then regenerated in one or more regeneration steps which will be adequate for removing deposited carbonaceous material from the catalyst by burning thereby heating the catalyst to an elevated temperature suitable for effecting catalytic conversion reactions.
  • the catalyst separated from the different riser reactors is collected as a dense fluid bed of catalyst in a vessel or hopper separated by a common separator baffle extending upwardly from the vessel bottom and provided with catalyst flow through slots or passageways so that by adjustment of catalyst bed level on either side of the baffle, catalyst may be caused to flow through the slots in either direction as desired to the catalyst bed exerting a lower pressure.
  • This variation in the basic arrangement of catalyst flow provides a further flexiblity in the method of operating the system and such flexibility is most desirable in present day catalytic operations using the more active and selective conversion catalysts.
  • a still further embodiment of the present invention concerns itself with collecting the separated catalyst from all the riser reactors in a single dense fluid bed of catalyst wherein the catalyst particles are mixed and stripped of hydrocarbon vapors with a suitable stripping gas.
  • provisions are made for passing the stripped catalyst to one or more stages of regeneration.
  • provisions are made for withstanding catalyst particles from either the upper or lower portion of this catalyst bed for admixture with fresh regenerated catalyst and use in the second riser reactor as discussed before.
  • catalyst compositions in admixture with one another as separate discrete particles or combined as a single particle of catalyst.
  • the essential requirement of a low coke producing crystalline alumino silicate cracking catalyst composition may be combined with a metal oxide which will enhance regeneration of the catalyst by converting CO to CO thereby improving upon the available heat recovery from the system by the catalyst.
  • the low coke producing cracking catalyst composition may be combined with a ZSM-S type of catalyst particle which is also of low coke producing characteristics as a homogeneous particle mixture or the different catalyst compositions may be used as separate and discrete particles in the system so that the amount of one charged to the system may be different than the amount of the other charged and circulated in the system.

  • the ZSM-S type catalyst may be combined with the low coke producing zeolite catalyst in amounts ranging from about 10 up to about 90 percent but more usually will be in a range of from about 40 to about percent.
  • the ZSM-S type of catalyst is more fully discussed hereinafter.
  • the method of operation herein defined operates to take advantage of heat available in regenerated catalyst, minimizes reaction time within desired limits and may be used to adjust the residual coke on catalyst eventually recycled to the regeneration zone.
  • the amount of coke on the catalyst is controllable and controlled by using the catalyst separated from the products of the virgin feed conversion step to effect conversion of the recycle and coker gas oil in the second transfer line cracking step.
  • the catalyst used in the first transfer line reactor is cascaded to the second and the conversion heat requirements of the second is provided by feed preheat and by adding hot freshly regenerated catalyst to the catalyst cascaded thereto from the first or virgin feed conversion step.
  • the catalyst regeneration techniques envisioned for ,use in the concept of the present invention are those which will permit removal of hydrocarbonaceous material or residue carbonaceous material from the catalyst particles such as by burning in the presence of oxygen rich gas or air whereby the catalyst will be heated to an elevated temperature in the range of I,IOQF. up to about 1,400F.

  • Regeneration temperatures may also be raised by combining a carbon monoxide conversion metal oxide with the catalyst as mentioned above and by increasing the amount of coke or hydrocarbonaceous material deposited on the catalyst during the cracking step before being passed to the regeneration step. Since air is a common regeneration gas, varying the amount of carbonaceous material on catalyst passed to the regenerator is most effective for temperature control.

  • Contact times used in the recycle cracking step will be in the range of about 2 to 15 seconds and may be a few seconds longerthan employed for of virgin feed cracking step.
  • the catalyst to oil ratio used for converting virgin feed will be from about 4 to 10 to l and from about 6 to to l for converting the recycle and coker feed material.
