Definitions

  • the invention relates to catalytic cracking processes conducted to produce light olefins.
  • the invention further relates to methods for reducing benzene in naphtha fractions produced in such processes.
  • Benzene is a known carcinogen that arises in the production of gasoline. Regulations in the European Union, US, and other locations require less than 1% benzene in gasoline.
  • Gasoline is produced at a refinery by blending component streams, including butane, isopentane, alkylate, isomerate, straight run naphtha, hydrocrackate, catalytic naphtha, steam cracked naphtha, coker naphtha, pyrolysis gasoline, catalytic reformate, vacuum gas oil, and oxygenates.
  • the naphthas formed from catalytic cracking can be further fractionated into light cat naphtha, intermediate cat naphtha, and heavy cat naphtha.
  • the product distribution from current FCC processes comprises a number of constituents in addition to gasoline naphtha. While gasoline is of primary interest to most refiners, light olefins and LPG are also found in the FCC product, and are increasingly becoming of interest to refiners as those products become more valuable.
  • the light olefins produced can be used for a number of purposes, e.g., they are upgraded via sulfuric or HF alkylation to high quality alkylate. LPG is used for cooking and/or heating purposes.
  • Propylene is a particular light olefin in high demand. It is used in many of the world's largest and fastest growing synthetic materials and thermoplastics. Refiners are relying more and more on their FCC units to meet the increased demand for propylene, thus shifting the focus of the traditional FCC unit away from transportation fuels and more toward petrochemical feedstock production as operators seek opportunities to maximize margins. Indeed, the FCC unit provides one third of the world's propylene, and being able to increase propylene output from the unit is of value when propylene prices are high.
  • Reported options include: (a) using additive ZSM-5 catalyst and/or additive in the FCC unit; and
  • US Patent 6,180,008 (White) and US Patent 6,187,987 (Chin et al.) refers to polyimide membranes and processes using hyperfiltration to recover aromatic solvents. Benzene removal from hydrocarbon streams, however, is not addressed.
  • US 5,914,435 (Streicher and Prevost) describe a process where a sidestream from a distillation column enriched in benzene is treated with a membrane permeation zone in order to reduce the benzene content of the treated hydrocarbon stream.
  • the membrane is selective for benzene, and at least part of the retentate low in benzene is divided into two streams and recycled to two different levels in the distillation column.
  • the distillation column is a naphtha pre-fractionating column designed to separate C 5 to Cio hydrocarbons, wherein the those hydrocarbons having a boiling point in the range of 150 to 200°C are collected at the bottom of the column and hydrocarbons having a boiling point of about 5O 0 C are collected off the top of the column.
  • US Patent 6,232,518 refers to using cyclodextrins for removal of benzene from hydrocarbon streams.
  • Figure 1 is schematic illustration showing one embodiment of the invention wherein light cat naphtha is treated with a membrane to reduce the amount of benzene in the stream.
  • Figure 2 is a graph illustrating the invention's performance in reducing benzene concentrations with respect to membranes Ml and M2 described in Example 3.
  • a membrane process can be used to address the undesirable buildup of benzene when cracking feedstocks to light olefins, e.g., propylene, using pentasil zeolite catalysts or other conditions known to enhance light olefin yields, thereby allowing for process conditions that improves light olefin yield from an FCC unit, while at the same time providing a more environmentally friendly naphtha stream that can be blended into the gasoline pool.
  • Light olefins are intended herein to mean ethylene, propylene and butylenes, i.e., olefins containing two to four carbons (C 2 to C 4 ).
  • the invention comprises introducing a hydrocarbon feedstock into a reaction zone of a catalytic cracking unit, which feedstock is characterized as having an initial boiling point from about 12O 0 C with end points up to about 850 0 C.
  • the feedstock is cracked in the reaction zone of the unit by contacting the feedstock with a cracking catalyst under conditions of temperature, catalyst to oil ratio, pressure, steam dilution and space velocity such that a light olefin yield from the unit is enhanced compared to that of the same unit operating at more typical conditions, e.g., those listed below.
  • the unit thereby produces a product comprising light olefin, naphtha and benzene, wherein the product comprises about 6 to about 20% propylene based on the weight of the hydrocarbon feedstock introduced in the cracking step above.
  • the product is then fractionated into at least an light olefin-containing fraction, and a benzene-containing naphtha fraction.
  • Such streams can include full range cat naphtha (boiling point in the range of 50°C to about 220 0 C, and 0.6 to about 3% by weight benzene) or light cat naphtha (boiling point in the range of 50°C to about 105 0 C, and 1.2 to about 6% by weight benzene).
  • the light olefin-containing fraction is recovered, and the benzene-containing naphtha fraction is contacted with a membrane.
  • the membrane selected for use is benzene selective, and therefore should have a sufficient flux and selectivity to separate from the naphtha a benzene- enriched permeate fraction and a benzene deficient naphtha retentate fraction, said benzene- enriched permeate fraction being enriched in benzene compared to the retentate.
  • the stream can contain propylene in the range of 6 to about 20% by weight propylene based on the weight of the feedstock to the FCC unit.
  • aromatic selective membranes that preferentially remove benzene from gasoline feedstocks, provide for simultaneous increased yield of light olefins, e.g., propylene, from an FCC unit while still producing a large fraction of gasoline with less than 1% benzene levels, and preferably less than 0.6%. Pervaporation with an aromatic selective membrane is a preferred process for removing benzene.
  • Catalysts and process conditions can moreover be adjusted in an FCC unit to increase the yield of C3 and C4 light olefins to greater than 20 weight % from a lights stripping tower. Even though such a process leaves a naphtha fraction that can contain more than 1% benzene, the membrane step of the invention splits the gasoline fraction into a major fraction, the retentate, with less than 1% benzene, and a minor fraction, the permeate, containing greater than 1% benzene. The major retentate fraction can be directly used in the gasoline pool, while the minor permeate fraction is sent for further processing in the refinery.
  • the catalytic cracking process of this invention is preferably a FCC process.
  • Catalysts used in FCC processes are in particle form, usually have an average particle size in the range of 20 to 200 microns, and circulate between a cracking reactor and a catalyst regenerator. In the reactor, hydrocarbon feed contacts hot, regenerated catalyst that vaporizes and cracks the feed.
  • a FCC unit can be operated under a range of conditions, wherein the reaction temperatures range from about 400° to 700°C with regeneration occurring at temperatures of from about 500°to 900 0 C.
  • the particular conditions depend on the petroleum feedstock being treated, the product streams desired and other conditions well known to refiners. For example, lighter feedstock can be cracked at lower temperatures.

  • the invention can be employed in a FCC unit under conventional cracking conditions. Typical conditions found in a FCC unit are listed below.
  • WHSV, hr "1 125-200] Certain embodiments of the invention will utilize conditions that are somewhat more severe. These more severe processes include those known as Deep Catalytic Cracking (DCC), Catalytic Pyrolysis Process (CPP), and Ultra Catalytic Cracking (UCC). Illustrative conditions for the more severe processes are listed in the table below.
  • DCC Deep Catalytic Cracking
  • CPP Catalytic Pyrolysis Process
  • UCC Ultra Catalytic Cracking
  • the coked catalyst is stripped of volatiles, usually with steam, in a catalyst stripper and then regenerated.
  • the catalyst regenerator burns coke from the catalyst with oxygen containing gas, usually air, to restore catalyst activity and heat catalyst to, e.g., 500°C to 900 0 C, usually 600 0 C to 750 0 C.
  • the hot regenerated catalyst recycles to the cracking reactor to crack more fresh feed. Flue gas from the regenerator may be treated to remove particulates or convert CO, and then discharged into the atmosphere.
  • the FCC process, and its development, is described in the Fluid Catalytic Cracking Report, Amos A. Avidan, Michael Edwards and Hartley Owen, in the Jan. 8, 1990 edition of the Oil & Gas Journal.
  • a variety of hydrocarbon feedstocks can be cracked in the FCC unit to produce light olefins and gasoline.
  • Typical feedstocks include in whole or in part, a gas oil (e.g., light, medium, or heavy gas oil) having an initial boiling point above about 120°C [25O 0 F], a 50% point of at least about 315°C [600°F], and an end point up to about 85O°C [1562 0 F].
  • a gas oil e.g., light, medium, or heavy gas oil having an initial boiling point above about 120°C [25O 0 F], a 50% point of at least about 315°C [600°F], and an end point up to about 85O°C [1562 0 F].
  • the feedstock may also include deep cut gas oil, vacuum gas oil, coker gas oil, thermal oil, residual oil, cycle stock, whole top crude, tar sand oil, shale oil, synthetic fuel, heavy hydrocarbon fractions derived from the destructive hydrogenation of coal, tar, pitches, asphalts, hydrotreated feedstocks derived from any of the foregoing, and the like.

Abstract

Le procédé ci-décrit permet à une unité de craquage catalytique d'être exploitée pour craquer une charge d'hydrocarbures de manière à améliorer les rendements d'oléfines légères. Le flux de naphta benzénique en produit l'accompagnant est, en outre, traité par passage sur une membrane sélective vis-à-vis du benzène pour obtenir un flux à basse teneur de benzène. Les raffineurs exploitent souvent leurs unités de craquage de manière à optimiser les rendements d'oléfines légères, par exemple, propylène, en réponse aux besoins de l'industrie pétrochimique, et on a découvert que les unités exploitées de cette manière produisent souvent un naphta contenant des quantités croissantes de benzène. Le procédé selon la présente invention permet, par conséquent, d'exploiter l'unité, comme souhaité, pour optimiser les rendements d'oléfines légères, tout en obtenant en même temps un rendement de naphta à basse teneur de benzène. L'invention est particulièrement utile quand l'unité de craquage utilise des zéolites de pentasil à des concentrations supérieures pour améliorer le rendement d'oléfines légères.
