Definitions
- This invention relates to a process for producing diesel boiling range fuel from renewable feedstocks such as the glycerides and free fatty acids found in materials such as plant and animal fats and oils.
- the process involves hydrogenation, decarboxylation, decarbonylation and hydrodeoxygenation followed by isomerization in one or more reactors. Water is added to the feedstock or the reaction mixture in order to generate hydrogen in situ for consumption in the hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation reactions.
- renewable sources include, but are not limited to, plant oils such as corn, rapeseed, canola, soybean and algal oils, animal fats such as inedible tallow, fish oils and various waste streams such as yellow and brown greases and sewage sludge.
- plant oils such as corn, rapeseed, canola, soybean and algal oils
- animal fats such as inedible tallow
- fish oils and various waste streams such as yellow and brown greases and sewage sludge.
- the common feature of these sources is that they are composed of glycerides and Free Fatty Acids (FFA). Both of these classes of compounds contain aliphatic carbon chains having from 8 to 24 carbon atoms.
- the aliphatic chains in the glycerides or FFAs can be fully saturated or can be mono-, di- or poly-unsaturated.
- 2004/0230085 Al discloses a process for treating a hydrocarbon component of biological origin by hydrodeoxygenation followed by isomerization.
- Applicants have developed a process which comprises one or more steps to hydrogenate, decarboxylate, decarbonylate, (and/or hydrodeoxygenate) and optionally isomerize the renewable feedstock.
- the consumption of hydrogen in the hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation reaction zone may be a costly aspect of processing renewable feed stocks.
- Providing water in the reaction mixture results in hydrogen being generated in situ. The generated hydrogen may then be consumed in the hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation reactions.
- a hydroconversion process for producing a diesel boiling range product from a renewable feedstock comprising treating the renewable feedstock in a reaction zone in the presence of from 5 mass-% to 30 mass-% water and hydrogenating and deoxygenating the renewable feedstock at reaction conditions to provide a first reaction product comprising a hydrocarbon fraction comprising n-paraffins.
- the water is present in the reaction mixture as steam, and is therefore tolerable by the catalyst. Since the catalyst catalyzes the water gas shift reaction in addition to the hydrogenation and deoxygenation reactions, as soon as carbon monoxide is produced by the decarbonylation reaction, the carbon monoxide and water react via water gas shift to form carbon dioxide and hydrogen.
- the generated hydrogen is available for consumption in the hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation reactions.
- the diesel boiling range hydrocarbons are separated and collected. If an isoparaffin-rich diesel is desired, the water and carbon dioxide generated as byproducts in the first reaction zone are removed from the first reaction product in an integrated a hot high pressure stripper using hydrogen as the stripping gas.
- the hydrogen stripped first reaction product is introduced to a hydroisomerization reaction zone, and the isomerized product is recovered.
- FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are schematics of one embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 1 is a more simplistic schematic, while FIG. 2 is more detailed.
- the present invention relates to a process for producing a hydrocarbon stream useful as diesel boiling range fuel from renewable feedstocks originating from the fats and oils from plants or animals.
- renewable feedstock is meant to include feedstocks other than those derived from petroleum crude oil.
- Another term that has been used to describe this class of feedstocks is biorenewable fats and oils.
- the renewable feedstocks that can be used in the present invention include any of those which comprise glycerides and free fatty acids (FFA). Most of the glycerides will be triglycerides, but monoglycerides and diglycerides may be present and processed as well.
- renewable feedstocks include, but are not limited to, canola oil, corn oil, soy oils, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, colza oil, tall oil, sunflower oil, hempseed oil, olive oil, linseed oil, coconut oil, castor oil, peanut oil, palm oil, mustard oil, jatropha oil, tallow, yellow and brown greases, lard, train oil, fats in milk, fish oil, algal oil, sewage sludge, and the like.
- renewable feedstocks include non-edible vegetable oils from the group comprising Jatropha curcas (Ratanjoy, Wild Castor, Jangli Erandi), Madhuca indica (Mohuwa), Pongamia pinnata (Karanji Honge), and Azadiracta indicia (Neem).
- the glycerides and FFAs of the typical vegetable or animal fat contain aliphatic hydrocarbon chains in their structure which have 8 to 24 carbon atoms.
- Mixtures of renewable feedstocks and hydrocarbons derived from petroleum crude oil may also be used as the feedstock. Mixtures of the above feedstocks may also be used.
- feedstock components which may be used, especially as a co-feed component in combination with the above listed feedstocks, include spent motor oils and industrial lubricants, used paraffin waxes, liquids derived from the gasification of coal, biomass, or natural gas followed by a downstream liquefaction step such as Fischer-Tropsch technology, liquids derived from depolymerization, thermal or chemical, of waste plastics such as polypropylene, high density polyethylene, and low density polyethylene; and other synthetic oils generated as byproducts from petrochemical and chemical processes. Mixtures of the above feedstocks may also be used as co-feed components.
- renewable feedstocks that can be used in the present invention may contain a variety of impurities.
- tall oil is a byproduct of the wood processing industry and tall oil contains esters and rosin acids in addition to FFAs. Rosin acids are cyclic carboxylic acids.
- the renewable feedstocks may also contain contaminants such as alkali metals, e.g. sodium and potassium, phosphorous as well as solids, water and detergents.
- An optional first step is to remove as much of these contaminants as possible.
- One possible pretreatment step involves contacting the renewable feedstock with an ion-exchange resin in a pretreatment zone at pretreatment conditions.
- the ion-exchange resin is an acidic ion exchange resin such as Amberlyst -15 and can be used as a bed in a reactor through which the feedstock is flowed through, either upflow or downflow.
- the conditions at which the reactor is operated are well known in the art.
- Another possible means for removing contaminants is a mild acid wash. This is carried out by contacting the feedstock with an acid such as sulfuric, nitric or hydrochloric acid in a reactor.
- the acid and feedstock can be contacted either in a batch or continuous process. Contacting is done with a dilute acid solution usually at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. If the contacting is done in a continuous manner, it is usually done in a counter current manner.
- guard beds which are well known in the art. These can include alumina guard beds either with or without demetallation catalysts such as nickel or cobalt. Filtration and solvent extraction techniques are other choices which may be employed.
- Hydroprocessing such as that described in USAN 11/770,826 is another pretreatment technique which may be employed.
- the renewable feedstock is flowed to a first reaction zone comprising one or more catalyst beds in one or more reactors.
- feedstock is meant to include feedstocks that have not been treated to remove contaminants as well as those feedstocks purified in a pretreatment zone.
- the feedstock is contacted with a hydrogenation or hydrotreating catalyst in the presence of hydrogen at hydrogenation conditions to hydrogenate the olefinic or unsaturated portions of the n-paraffinic chains.
- Hydrogenation and hydrotreating catalysts are any of those well known in the art such as nickel or nickel/molybdenum or cobalt/molybdenum dispersed on a high surface area support.
- Other hydrogenation catalysts include one or more noble metal catalytic elements dispersed on a high surface area support.
- noble metals include Pt and/or Pd dispersed on gamma-alumina.
- Hydrogenation conditions include a temperature of 40 0 C to 400 0 C and a pressure of 689 kPa absolute (100 psia) to 13,790 kPa absolute (2000 psia).
- the hydrogenation conditions include a temperature of 200 0 C to 300 0 C and a pressure of 1379 kPa absolute (200 psia) to 4826 kPa absolute (700 psia).
- Other operating conditions for the hydrogenation zone are well known in the art.
- the hydrogenation catalysts enumerated above are also capable of catalyzing decarboxylation, decarbonylation and/or hydrodeoxygenation of the feedstock to remove oxygen. Decarboxylation, decarbonylation, hydrodeoxygenation and hydrogenation are herein collectively referred to as deoxygenation reactions.
- Decarboxylation conditions include a relatively low pressure of 3447 kPa (500 psia) to 6895 kPa (1000 psia), a temperature of 200 0 C to 400 0 C and a liquid hourly space velocity of 0.5 to 10 hr " 1 .
- the decarboxylation conditions include the same relatively low pressure of 3447 kPa (500 psia) to 6895 kPa (1000 psia), a temperature of 288°C to 345°C and a liquid hourly space velocity (based on fresh feed) of 1 to 4 hr " 1 .
- the hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation reactions consume hydrogen and produce water byproduct while the decarbonylation and decarboxylation reactions produce carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
- Hydrogen can be an expensive material to generate or purchase and so reducing and managing the hydrogen consumption provides an economic advantage.
- Adding or maintaining water, as steam, within a particular range in the reaction mixture takes advantage of the ability of the catalyst to catalyze the water gas shift reaction. As soon as carbon monoxide is generated by the decarbonylation reaction, the carbon monoxide reacts with the water via the water gas shift reaction to generate carbon dioxide and hydrogen. The newly generated hydrogen is available as a reactant in the hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation reactions.
- the water will be present as vaporous water, or steam.
- the term is mean to include vaporous water, i.e., steam.
- the reaction mixture is from 0.5 mass-% to 25 mass-% water.
- the reaction mixture is from 1 mass-% to 20 mass-% water. These ranges are measured as the mass-% of the total liquid feed to the reactor, including recycle if recycle is employed.
- the required water may be added to the feedstock, or may be added to the reaction mixture. It may be combined with the feedstock, introduced at the inlet of the first reaction bed, or it may be introduced at one or more interstage locations within the deoxygenation reaction zone, or both. Additionally, the water may be used as a quench at the inlet or at interstage locations of the deoxygenation reaction zone. [0014] Most of the renewable feedstocks discussed herein do not contain appreciable levels of water, and there has been no previous need to add water to the renewable feedstocks or reaction mixtures.
- Proactively adding water to the renewable feedstock or reaction mixture to reach a stated range of water has unexpectedly reduced the hydrogen consumption of the overall deoxygenation process.
- the catalyst would successfully catalyze sufficient amounts of the water gas shift reaction for a reasonable amount of hydrogen to be generated.
- the water gas shift reaction is a reversible reaction, and the reaction mixture already contains hydrogen. Therefore, it was not expected that enough additional hydrogen would be generated to make an impact on the hydrogen consumption of the overall process.
- the addition of water provided a ready reactant for the water gas shift reaction.
- a sulfur containing compound is added to the renewable feedstock or the reaction mixture of the deoxygenation zone.
- Suitable sulfur containing components include, but are not limited to, dimethyl disulfide, dibutyl disulfide, and hydrogen sulfide.
- the sulfur containing component may be part of the hydrogen stream such as hydrogen from hydrocracking units or hydrotreating units, or may be sulfur compounds removed from kerosene or diesel, and disulfide oils removed from sweetening units such as MeroxTM units.
- the sulfur containing component also operates to maintain the deoxygenation catalyst in a sulfided state, although much less sulfur is typically used to maintain the catalyst in a sulfided state. Greater than 1000 ppm of sulfur containing component is in excess of what is typically required to maintain the catalyst in a sulfided state, but unexpectedly operates to shift the ratio of competing reactions to those reactions which do not consume hydrogen.
- Lower operating pressures also favorably drives the decarboxylation and decarbonylation reactions as compared to the hydrodeoxygenation reaction, thus reducing hydrogen consumption.
- the reaction product from the deoxygenation reactions will comprise a liquid portion and a gaseous portion.
- the liquid portion comprises a hydrocarbon fraction which is essentially all paraffins and having a large concentration of paraffins in the range of 9 to 18 carbon atoms. Different feedstocks will result in different distributions of paraffins.
- the gaseous portion comprises hydrogen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor, propane and sulfur components such as hydrogen sulfide or phosphorous component such as phosphine.
- the effluent from the deoxygenation reactor is conducted to an optional hot high pressure hydrogen stripper.
- One purpose of the hot high pressure hydrogen stripper is to separate the gaseous portion of the effluent from the liquid portion of the effluent. As hydrogen is an expensive resource, to conserve costs, the separated hydrogen is recycled to the first reaction zone containing the deoxygenation reactor. Also, failure to remove the water, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide from the effluent may result in poor catalyst performance in the isomerization zone. Water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, any ammonia or hydrogen sulfide are selectively stripped in the hot high pressure hydrogen stripper using hydrogen.
- the temperature may be controlled in a limited range to achieve the desired separation and the pressure may be maintained at the same pressure as the two reaction zones to minimize both investment and operating costs.
- the hot high pressure hydrogen stripper may be operated at conditions ranging from a pressure of 689 kPa absolute (100 psia) to 13,790 kPa absolute (2000 psia), and a temperature of 40 0 C to 35O°C.
- the hot high pressure hydrogen stripper may be operated at conditions ranging from a pressure of 1379 kPa absolute (200 psia) to 4826 kPa absolute (700 psia), or 2413 kPa absolute (350 psia) to 4882 kPa absolute (650 psia), and a temperature of 50 0 C to 350 0 C.
- the effluent enters the hot high pressure stripper and the gaseous components, are carried with the hydrogen stripping gas and separated into an overhead stream. Additional hydrogen is used as the stripping gas.
- the remainder of the deoxygenation effluent stream is removed as hot high pressure hydrogen stripper bottoms and contains the liquid hydrocarbon fraction having components such as normal hydrocarbons having from 8 to 24 carbon atoms. A portion of this liquid hydrocarbon fraction in hot high pressure hydrogen stripper bottoms may be used as the hydrocarbon recycle described below.
- Hydrogen is a reactant in at least some of the reactions above, and to be effective, a sufficient quantity of hydrogen must be in solution to most effectively take part in the catalytic reaction.
- Past processes have operated at high pressures in order to achieve a desired amount of hydrogen in solution and readily available for reaction. However, higher pressure operations are more costly to build and to operate as compared to their lower pressure counterparts.
- the operating pressure may be in the range of 1379 kPa absolute (200 psia) to 4826 kPa absolute (700 psia) which is lower than that found in other previous operations.
- the operating pressure is in the range of 2413 kPa absolute (350 psia) to 4481 kPa absolute (650 psia), and in yet another embodiment operating pressure is in the range of 2758 kPa absolute (400 psia) to 4137 kPa absolute (600 psia).
- the rate of reaction is increased resulting in a greater amount of throughput of material through the reactor in a given period of time.
- the desired amount of hydrogen is kept in solution at lower pressures by employing a large recycle of hydrocarbon.
- Other processes have employed hydrocarbon recycle in order to control the temperature in the reaction zones since the reactions are exothermic reactions.
- the range of recycle to feedstock ratios used herein is determined not on temperature control requirements, but instead, based upon hydrogen solubility requirements.
- Hydrogen has a greater solubility in the hydrocarbon product than it does in the feedstock.
- the solubility of hydrogen in the liquid phase in the reaction zone is greatly increased and higher pressures are not needed to increase the amount of hydrogen in solution.
- the volume ratio of hydrocarbon recycle to feedstock is from 2:1 to 8: 1.
- the ratio is in the range of 3: 1 to 6: 1 and in yet another embodiment the ratio is in the range of 4: 1 to 5: 1.
- this hydrocarbon fraction is useful as a diesel boiling range fuel, because it comprises essentially n-paraffins, it will have poor cold flow properties. If it is desired to improve the cold flow properties of the liquid hydrocarbon fraction, then at least a portion of the hydrocarbon fraction can be contacted with an optional isomerization catalyst under isomerization conditions to at least partially isomerize the n-paraffins to branched paraffins.
- the effluent of the optional second reaction zone, the isomerization zone is a branched-paraffin-rich stream.
- the effluent stream has a greater concentration of branched paraffins than the stream entering the isomerization zone, and preferably comprises greater than 50 mass-% branched paraffins. It is envisioned that the isomerization zone effluent may contains 70, 80, or 90 mass-% branched paraffins. Isomerization can be carried out in a separate bed of the same reaction zone, i.e. same reactor, described above or the isomerization can be carried out in a separate reactor. For ease of description the following will address the embodiment where a second reactor is employed for the isomerization reaction.
- the hydrocarbon stream is contacted with an isomerization catalyst in the presence of hydrogen at isomerization conditions to isomerize the normal paraffins to branched paraffins. Only minimal branching is required, enough to overcome the cold-flow problems of the normal paraffins. Since attempting for significant branching runs the risk of high degree of undesired cracking, the predominant isomerized product is a mono-branched hydrocarbon.
- the hydrogen stripped product of the deoxygenation reaction zone is contacted with an isomerization catalyst in the presence of hydrogen at isomerization conditions to isomerize the normal paraffins to branched paraffins. Only minimal branching is required, enough to overcome cold-flow problems of the normal paraffins.

- Suitable operating conditions of the isomerization effluent separator include, for example, a temperature of 230 0 C and a pressure of 4100 kPa absolute (600 psia).
- the hydrogen may be recycled back to the hot high pressure hydrogen stripper for use both as a stripping gas and to combine with the remainder as a bottoms stream.
- the bottoms stream is passed to the isomerization reaction zone and thus the hydrogen becomes a component of the isomerization reaction zone feed streams in order to provide the necessary hydrogen partial pressures for the reactor.
- the hydrogen is also a reactant in the deoxygenation reaction zone, and different renewable feedstocks will consume different amounts of hydrogen.
- the isomerization effluent separator allows flexibility for the process to operate even when larger amounts of hydrogen are consumed in the first reaction zone.
- the remainder or bottoms stream of the isomerization effluent separator may be recycled to the isomerization reaction zone to increase the degree of isomerization.
- the remainder of the final effluent after the optional removal of hydrogen still has liquid and gaseous components and is cooled, by techniques such as air cooling or water cooling and passed to a cold separator where the liquid component is separated from the gaseous component.
- the final effluent may be (1) the product of the deoxygenation reaction zone, (2) the product of the deoxygenation reaction zone after processing through a hot high pressure hydrogen stripper, (3) the product of the deoxygenation reaction zone followed by the isomerization zone or (4) the product of the deoxygenation reaction zone followed by the hot high pressures hydrogen stripper followed by the isomerization zone.
- Suitable operating conditions of the cold separator include, for example, a temperature of 45 to 50 0 C and a pressure of 3850 kPa absolute (560 psia). A water byproduct stream is also separated.
- At least a portion of the water byproduct stream may be recycled to the renewable feedstock of the deoxygenation zone or to the deoxygenation zone itself as at least a portion of the required amount of water. At least a portion of the liquid component, after cooling and separating from the gaseous component, may be recycled back to the isomerization zone to increase the degree of isomerization if desired.
- the liquid component contains the hydrocarbons useful as diesel boiling range fuel as well as smaller amounts of naphtha and LPG.
- the separated liquid component may be recovered as diesel boiling range fuel or it may be further purified in a product stripper which separates lower boiling components and dissolved gases from the diesel product containing Q to C24 normal and mono-branched alkanes. Suitable operating conditions of the product stripper include a temperature of from 20 to 200 0 C at the overhead and a pressure from 0 to 1379 kPa absolute (0 to 200 psia).
- the LPG/Naphtha stream may be further separated in a debutanizer or depropanizer in order to separate the LPG into an overhead stream, leaving the naphtha in a bottoms stream.
- Suitable operating conditions of this unit include a temperature of from 20 to 200 0 C at the overhead and a pressure from 0 to 2758 kPa absolute (0 to 400 psia).
- the LPG may be sold as valuable product or may be used as feed to a hydrogen production facility.
- the naphtha may be used as feed to a hydrogen production facility.
- the gaseous component separated in the product separator comprises mostly hydrogen and the carbon dioxide from the decarboxylation reaction.
- carbon monoxide propane, and hydrogen sulfide or other sulfur containing component may be present as well. It is desirable to recycle the hydrogen to the isomerization zone, but if the carbon dioxide was not removed, its concentration would quickly build up and effect the operation of the isomerization zone.
- the carbon dioxide can be removed from the hydrogen by means well known in the art such as absorption with an amine, reaction with a hot carbonate solution, pressure swing absorption, etc. If desired, essentially pure carbon dioxide can be recovered by regenerating the spent absorption media.
- the sulfur containing component such as hydrogen sulfide is present to both maintain the sulfided state of the deoxygenation catalyst and to control the relative amounts of the decarboxylation and decarbonylation reactions as compared to hydrodeoxygenation reaction that are all occurring in the deoxygenation zone.
- the amount of sulfur is controlled to be sufficient to influence the ratios of the competing reactions and so must be removed before the hydrogen is recycled so that the sulfur containing components are recycled in the correct amount.
- the sulfur containing components may be removed using techniques such as adsorption with an amine or by caustic wash. Of course, depending upon the technique used, the carbon dioxide and sulfur containing components, and other components, may be removed in a single separation step such as a hydrogen selective membrane.
- the hydrogen remaining after the removal of at least carbon dioxide and the sulfur containing compound may be recycled to the reaction zone where hydrogenation primarily occurs and/or to any subsequent beds/reactors.
- the recycle stream may be introduced to the inlet of the reaction zone and/or to any subsequent beds/reactors.
- One benefit of the hydrocarbon recycle is to control the temperature rise across the individual beds. However, as discussed above, the amount of hydrocarbon recycle may be determined based upon the desired hydrogen solubility in the reaction zone which is in excess of that used for temperature control. Increasing the hydrogen solubility in the reaction mixture allows for successful operation at lower pressures, and thus reduced cost.
