Definitions
- the present invention relates to a so-called GTL (Gas-To-Liquid) process for synthesizing hydrocarbon oils from natural gas. More specifically, heat utilization efficiency is improved in the GTL process using a tubular reformer.
- the GTL process produces a synthesis gas mainly composed of hydrogen (H 2 ) and carbon monoxide (CO) by reforming natural gas mainly composed of methane (CH 4 ).
- Fischer-Tropsch synthesis FT synthesis
- Fischer-Tropsch oil FT oil
- Various petroleum products such as naphtha, kerosene, and light oil are manufactured by upgrading and refining FT oil.
- the GTL process can be broadly divided into three processes: synthesis gas production process (reforming process), Fischer, Tropsch oil production process (FT process), and upgrading process (UG process). It becomes.
- the auto-thermal reforming method (ATR: AutoThermal Reforming) or the partial oxidation method (POX: Partial OXidation) has been widely used.
- ATR AutoThermal Reforming
- POX Partial OXidation
- the steam reforming method or carbon dioxide reforming method in which steam or carbon dioxide gas is reacted directly with natural gas, is simpler in principle, but these methods are not so much. The reason why it is not used is as follows.
- Steam reforming method and carbon dioxide reforming method add steam and carbon dioxide gas to natural gas, pass this through a reaction tube filled with reforming catalyst, and install the reaction tube in the tubular reformer radiation section By heating from the outside, natural gas (methane) is converted to synthesis gas according to reaction formula (1) or (2).
- reaction formula (1) and reaction formula (2) the molar ratio of hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the resultant synthesis gas can be adjusted in the range of 3: 1 to 1: 1. Note that you can. Since these reactions are endothermic reactions, it is necessary to supply a large amount of heat from the outside. Therefore, the heat utilization efficiency is low, and there is a problem that the reactor becomes enormous when applied to large-scale production.
- ATR and POX or the catalytic partial oxidation method (C POX: Catalytic Partial OXidation), which has recently reached practical use, can be called a partial oxidation method in a broad sense.
- Oxygen or air (not steam or carbon dioxide) is added to natural gas, and natural gas is converted to synthesis gas according to the following reaction formula (3).
- this reaction is a reaction in which natural gas, which is the raw material, is partially burned with oxygen to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
- the above high temperature for example, about 140 is required.
- the ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide is adjusted to 2.
- ATR a part of natural gas, which is a raw material, is combusted by adding oxygen to produce water (steam) and carbon dioxide (carbon dioxide), and the generated steam and carbon dioxide.
- the first stage is a combustion reaction with a large exotherm
- the second stage is an endothermic reaction according to the reaction formula (1) or (2).
- it is an exothermic reaction as a whole, there is no need to supply heat from the outside. It is characterized by high heat utilization efficiency in the reforming process itself. For this reason, these methods are often used in the modification process of the GTL process.
- the synthesis gas produced in the reforming process is mainly composed of hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
- FT oil is produced by FT synthesis according to the following reaction formula (4) using the synthesis gas consisting of hydrogen and carbon monoxide obtained in this way as raw materials.
- FT synthesis uses hydrogen and carbon monoxide as 2: 1. It is necessary to supply at a molar ratio of Synthetic gas produced by ATR and POX has this composition. However, as described above, the synthetic gas of this composition is produced by combining the steam reforming method and the carbon dioxide gas reforming method. It can also be obtained.
- intermediate products produced by FT synthesis include gaseous products (consisting of unreacted hydrogen, carbon monoxide, or hydrocarbons having 4 or less carbon atoms), after performing FT synthesis in the FT process, FT oil is produced by separating and removing these gaseous products.
- FT oil obtained in the FT process contains heavy components
- hydrotreating or hydrocracking and distillation rectification
- various petroleum products such as naphtha, kerosene, and light oil.
- To manufacture Typically, first, a heavy component and other light components are distilled and separated, then the heavy components are hydrotreated (including hydrocracking) to lighten, and the obtained light components are further reduced. Separate by distillation.
- the FT oil to be introduced into the rectification column for distillation separation needs to be heated to a predetermined temperature (for example, 300 to 35 O) in advance, and a hydrogenation reaction is performed to hydrotreat the separated heavy components. Before they are introduced into the vessel, they need to be heated to a predetermined temperature (eg 300-400).
- a predetermined temperature eg 300-400.
- heating furnaces are installed to heat them directly, or a heat exchanger for heating is installed separately from the furnace, and heat transfer oil (hot oil) is exchanged with the furnace for heating. It is in the form of indirect heating by circulating between the vessels.
- the above-mentioned C P OX method requires the use of special equipment and catalysts, and requires advanced technology and special know-how for operation management.
- the partial oxidation methods in a broad sense such as ATR, POX, and CPOOX all add oxygen to natural gas and require the installation of a separate oxygen blunt.
- this oxygen plant is very expensive, and there is a problem that the scale merit cannot be achieved unless the size is increased.
- ATR and P OX are advantageous in G T L (equivalent to one train), which is said to be about 1 5 0 0 0 B P S D or more.
- the addition of oxygen to natural gas inherently presents an explosion hazard and requires advanced technology and meticulous attention in equipment design and operation management.
- the steam reforming method and carbon dioxide reforming method are based on indirect heating using a tubular reformer, and the reaction itself is endothermic, which inherently reduces the risk of runaway.
- operation technology does not require advanced technology and know-how like ATR and CPOX. Therefore, the advantages of using the steam reforming method and the carbon dioxide reforming method using a tubular reformer for the reforming process of the GTL process are large, but this has become a bottleneck when adopting these methods. Improvement of heat utilization efficiency is an important issue.
- the present invention is a method for producing various hydrocarbon oils from natural gas, and reacts natural gas mainly composed of methane with steam and Z or carbon dioxide through a tubular reformer filled with a reforming catalyst.
- the synthesis gas production process for producing synthesis gas mainly composed of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, the synthesis gas produced in the synthesis gas production process is subjected to a Fischer-Tropsch reaction, By separating the product, Fischer-Tropsch oil is produced, and Fischer-Tropsch oil production process. It consists of an upgrading process for producing hydrogen oil, and syngas
- the present invention provides a method characterized by recovering surplus heat generated in the manufacturing process and using the recovered heat as heat for hydrogenation and Z or distillation in the upgrade process, thereby It is a solution.
- the Fischer-Tropsch oil produced in the Fischer-Tropsch oil production process is preferably passed directly through the coil in the convection section of the tubular reformer. This is because it is not necessary to provide a separate heat exchanger and circulate the heat transfer oil between the convection section of the tubular reformer.

- Fig. 4 shows the process flow of the synthesis gas production process in the comparative embodiment.
- FIG. 1 shows a process flow of a synthesis gas production process (reforming process) in the first embodiment of the GTL process according to the present invention.
- Figure 1 does not show the entire process flow of the reforming process, but shows only the main flow related to the recovery of excess heat generated in the reforming process. Therefore, it should be noted that, for example, the flow for adding carbon dioxide to the raw natural gas and the flow for separating unreacted gas from the outlet gas from the tube reformer are not shown.
- a large number of reaction tubes filled with a reforming catalyst are arranged in a tubular reformer radiation section 1.
- As the reforming catalyst a catalyst in which a catalyst metal such as a V I I I group metal is supported on an oxide carrier is used.
- the reaction tube group arranged in the tubular reformer radiating section 1 is heated from the outside.
- the flue gas after being used to heat the reaction tube group passes through the convection section in which the first coil 5 to the sixth coil 10 are placed, and is used for preheating raw material natural gas, generating process steam, etc. Finally, it is released into the atmosphere by ID fan 1 1.
- the natural gas used as a raw material is preheated in the fifth coil 9 and the third coil 7 and desulfurized in the hydrodesulfurizer 2.
- a predetermined amount of steam (and carbon dioxide (not shown)) is added, it is further heated by the first coil 5 and flows into the reaction tube group in the tubular reformer radiation section 1 at about 5 20.
- the reaction tube group is heated to about 100 ° in the tubular reformer and the single radiating section 1, so that the raw material gas passing through the tube is a synthesis gas composed of hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the presence of the reforming catalyst.
- Process outlet gas (including synthesis gas) from the reaction tube group passes through the waste heat boiler 3 and feed water heater 4 to be cooled, and unreacted steam and carbon dioxide are not shown in the condenser and carbon dioxide absorption tower (not shown). After being separated and removed at, it is sent to Fischer's Tropsch oil production process (FT process).
- FT process Fischer's Tropsch oil production process
- the crude FT oil produced in the FT process is supplied to the upgrading process (UG process) shown in FIG. 2 and heated in the heat exchanger 12 to about 300 to 350, It is introduced into the rectification tower 1 7.
- the crude naphtha, crude middle distillate, and crude wax separated in the first rectification column are heated to a predetermined temperature in heat exchangers 13, 14, and 15, respectively, and then naphtha hydrogenation equipment 1 9
- the middle distillate hydrotreating apparatus 20 and the wax hydrocracking apparatus 21 are supplied to the hydrotreating or hydrocracking.
- the treated oils from the middle distillate hydrotreating unit 20 and the wax hydrocracking unit 21 are joined and heated to a predetermined temperature in the heat exchanger 16 and then introduced into the second fractionator.
- naphtha is extracted from the top of the tower, merged with the naphtha that has been hydrotreated by the naphtha hydrotreating unit 19, passes through the stabilizer 22, and is commercialized as GTL naphtha.
- GTL kerosene is extracted from the center of the second rectification column, and GTL diesel oil is extracted from the bottom for commercialization.
- the wax extracted from the bottom of the second rectification column joins with the crude wax extracted from the bottom of the first rectification column, is recycled, and is hydrocracked again.
- the process gas from the outlet of the reaction tube group has a high temperature of about 90 Ot: and its heat is used to generate steam in the waste heat boiler 3 and feed water heater 4 and to preheat the feed water for that purpose. Is done.
- the flue gas exhausted from the tubular reformer radiant section is at a high temperature of about 100,000, and the heat is natural in the first to sixth coils 5 to 10 arranged in the convection section.
- the preheating of the gas is used to generate process steam. What is characteristic here is that the heat recovered at the site corresponding to the fourth coil 8 is used in the UG process.
- Fischer I 'Tropsch Oil Production Process (FT Fischer-Tropsch oil (FT oil) produced in the process (1) is a heat exchanger installed as a coil in a portion corresponding to the fourth coil 8 of the tubular reformer pair flow section 23. 4, 15 and 16 are heated by the combustion exhaust gas from the tubular reformer / radiant section 1. The heated FT oil is then subjected to distillation separation and hydrotreatment in the UG process. Alternatively, the heat transfer oil is heated in the fourth coil 8, and the heated heat transfer oil is heated in the heat exchangers 1 2, 1 3, 1 4, 15, and 16 in the UG process. You may do it.
- FIG. 3 shows the process flow of the synthesis gas production process (reforming process) in the second embodiment of the GTL process according to the present invention.
- the second embodiment only the heat necessary for distillation in the UG process is covered with the heat recovered by the fourth coil 8. Except for this point, the second embodiment is the same as the first embodiment.
- the heat recovered by the fourth coil 8 is not used for the hydrogenation process because the heat required for the hydrogenation process flows into the inflow side of the hydrogenation reactor during steady operation. This is because almost a force bar can be generated by heat exchange with the outflow side flow. That is, since the second embodiment assumes such a steady operation, the first embodiment is taken at the time of start-up, and when the steady state is reached, the second embodiment is switched to. It may be.
- the heat recovery amount in the fourth coil is smaller than that in the first embodiment.
- Figure 4 shows the process flow of the synthesis gas production process (reforming process) in the comparative form. Is shown.
- surplus heat recovered in the reforming process is not used in the UG process. That is, the heat recovered by the fourth coil 8 is not used in the UG process but is used for generating steam. Therefore, although the amount of steam generated in this comparative form is larger than that in the first and second embodiments, the amount of steam generated in the first and second embodiments sufficiently covers the required amount of process steam. Therefore, it can be said that the comparative form generates more steam than necessary. Except for this point, the comparative form is the same as the first and second embodiments.
- Table 1 shows heat recovery schedules in the first and second embodiments and the comparative embodiment.
- Table 1 shows the heat recovery load factor (the ratio of the heat recovery load of each coil to the heat recovery load of the first to sixth coils) and the temperature reduction of the combustion exhaust gas.
- the heat recovery load factor (relative value to the heat recovery load factor of the convection part) and the temperature drop of the process gas in the heat boiler and feed water heater are summarized for the first and second embodiments and the comparative example.
- the difference in the heat recovery schedule between the first and second embodiments and the comparative example is the heat recovery load factor (and the amount of decrease in the temperature of combustion exhaust gas) in the second and fourth coils.
- the combined heat recovery load factor of the second and fourth coils is 40.7% in either form (the fraction is rounded up in the first embodiment and the comparison form, so the apparent calculation is Is 40.8%), which is exactly the same.
- the heat recovery load factor corresponding to the amount used in the UG process is the highest at 15.3% in the first embodiment, 9.5% in the second embodiment, and used in the UG process in the comparative embodiment. 0% because there is not much to be done.
- the heat recovery load factor corresponding to the amount used to generate steam is the lowest at 25.5% in the first embodiment, 31.2% in the second embodiment, and the comparison form is It is the highest at 4 0. 7%.
- the required amount of process steam is 0.346 (kg / Nm 3 — H 2 + CO) in terms of the weight per total gas of hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the reformer outlet gas.
