Definitions

  • the field of the invention is the recovery of heat from a flue gas exhausted from a catalyst regenerator.
  • Many hydrocarbon processes comprise a reactor that is closely coupled with a regenerator, followed by downstream hydrocarbon product separation. Hydrocarbon feed contacts catalyst in the reactor to convert the hydrocarbons down to desirable products. During this process, the catalyst tends to accumulate coke thereon, which is burned off in the regenerator.
  • fluid catalytic cracking the heat of combustion in the regenerator typically produces flue gas at temperatures of 677° to 788°C (1250° to 1450 0 F) and at a pressure range of 138 to 276 kPa (20 to 40 psig). Although the pressure is relatively low, the extremely high temperature, high volume of flue gas from the regenerator contains sufficient energy to warrant economic recovery.
  • flue gas may be fed to a power recovery unit.
  • a power recovery train may include several devices, such as an expander turbine, a generator, an air blower, a gear reducer, and a let-down steam turbine.
  • the energy of the flue gas is transferred through blades of the expander to a rotor coupled either to a main air blower, to produce combustion air for the regenerator, and/or to a generator to produce electrical power. Because of the pressure drop of 138 to 207 kPa (20 to 30 psi) across the expander turbine, the flue gas typically discharges with a temperature drop of 125° to 167°C (225° to 300 0 F).
  • the flue gas may be run to a flue gas steam generator for further energy recovery and cooling the flue gas.
  • a typical flue gas steam generator for an FCC unit contains three coils, namely an economizer for preheating boiler feed water, an evaporator for generating high pressure steam and a super heater for heating the high pressure steam into superheated steam. After removing fines, the cooled flue gas may then be discharged into the stack.
  • Lower flue gas discharge temperatures indicate greater heat recovery from the flue gas. However, the minimum flue gas discharge temperature is limited by the sulfuric acid dew point. A sufficient temperature approach above the dew point is required for flue gas to avoid sulfuric acid condensation in the stack which can lead to sulfuric acid precipitation in the vicinity of the stack.
  • hydrocarbon feed such as vacuum gas oil (VGO) is typically preheated by indirect heat exchange with a slurry oil pump around from the main fractionation column.
  • VGO vacuum gas oil
  • the main fractionation column receives hot FCC products.
  • the feed heat exchange with the slurry oil pump around helps to cool FCC products.
  • the catalyst regenerator flue gas is an excellent material for indirectly heat exchanging with hydrocarbon feed.
  • an FCC flue gas temperature leaving a heat exchange with the feed can be sufficiently above the sulfuric acid dew point to safely avoid the risk of condensation of sulfuric acid.
  • the FCC product stream conventionally used for preheating the feed can be available for other heat recovery opportunities or for steam or power generation.
  • the flue gas is hot enough to partially or fully vaporize the hydrocarbon feed or preheat the feed to a temperature that is greater than conventionally achieved by heat exchange with FCC product streams. Consequently, the amount of coke that must be produced and burned in the FCC regenerator to sufficiently heat the catalyst and vaporize the feed in an FCC riser is reduced thereby producing less carbon dioxide.
  • the process and apparatus can enable greater heat recovery from a catalyst regenerator flue gas.
  • FIGURE is a schematic drawing of an FCC unit, a power recovery section and an FCC product recovery system in a refinery.
  • the present invention can be applied to any catalytic conversion process that employs a catalyst regenerator such as an oxygenate-to-olef ⁇ n or an FCC unit.
  • a catalyst regenerator such as an oxygenate-to-olef ⁇ n or an FCC unit.
  • the present invention will be described with reference to an FCC unit.
  • the discharge temperature for a conventional FCC flue gas cooler is typically around 288 0 C
  • the FCC product streams previously used for feed preheating such as heavy cycle oil (HCO) and slurry oil, are now available for generating more high pressure steam.
  • HCO heavy cycle oil
  • slurry oil slurry oil
  • BFW boiler feed water preheating is provided by indirect heat exchange with saturated water from a steam drum to increase the BFW temperature to 177 0 C (350 0 F), which is required for preventing corrosion in the flue gas cooler.
  • FIGURE illustrates a refinery complex 100 that generally includes an FCC unit section 10, a power recovery section 60 and a product recovery section 90.
  • the FCC unit section 10 includes a reactor 12 and a catalyst regenerator 14.
  • Process variables typically include a cracking reaction temperature of 400° to 600 0 C and a catalyst regeneration temperature of
  • FIGURE shows a typical FCC reactor 12 in which a heavy hydrocarbon feed or raw oil stream in a distributor 16 is contacted with a regenerated cracking catalyst entering from a regenerated catalyst standpipe 18. This contacting may occur in a narrow riser 20, extending upwardly to the bottom of a reactor vessel 22.
  • the contacting of feed and catalyst is fluidized by gas from a fluidizing line 24.
  • heat from the catalyst vaporizes the hydrocarbon feed or oil, and the hydrocarbon feed is thereafter cracked to lighter molecular weight hydrocarbons in the presence of the catalyst as both are transferred up the riser 20 into the reactor vessel 22.
  • the cracked light hydrocarbon products are thereafter separated from the cracking catalyst using cyclonic separators which may include a primary separator 26 and one or two stages cyclones 28 in the reactor vessel 22.
  • Gaseous, cracked products exit the reactor vessel 22 through a product outlet 31 to line 32 for transport to a downstream product recovery section 90.
  • Inevitable side reactions occur in the riser 20 leaving coke deposits on the catalyst that lower catalyst activity.
  • the spent or coked catalyst requires regeneration for further use.
  • Coked catalyst after separation from the gaseous product hydrocarbons, falls into a stripping section 34 where steam is injected through a nozzle to purge any residual hydrocarbon vapor. After the stripping operation, the coked catalyst is carried to the catalyst regenerator 14 through a spent catalyst standpipe 36.
  • the FIGURE depicts a regenerator 14 known as a combustor.
  • regenerator 14 a stream of oxygen- containing gas, such as air, is introduced through an air distributor 38 to contact the coked catalyst, combust coke deposited thereon, and provide regenerated catalyst and flue gas.

  • the driver 52 may be, for example, a motor, a steam turbine driver, or some other device for power input.
  • the catalyst regeneration process adds a substantial amount of heat to the catalyst, providing energy to offset the endothermic cracking reactions occurring in the reactor riser 20.

  • conduit 66 provides fluid communication from heat exchanger 62 to the supplemental heat exchanger 63. Flue gas exiting the supplemental heat exchanger 63 is directed by conduit 69 to a waste flue gas line 67 and ultimately to an outlet stack 196, which is preferably equipped with appropriate environmental equipment, such as an electrostatic precipitator or a wet gas scrubber.
  • conduit 69 may be equipped to direct the flue gas through a first multi-hole orifice (MHO) 71, a first flue gas control valve (FGCV) 74, and potentially a second FGCV 75 and second MHO 76 on the path to waste flue gas line 67 all to reduce the pressure of the flue gas in conduit 69 before it reaches the stack 196.
  • MHO multi-hole orifice
  • FGCVs 74, 75 are typically butterfly valves and may be controlled based on a pressure reading from the regenerator 14.
  • the power recovery section 60 further includes a power recovery expander 70, which is typically a single-stage hot gas turbine, and a generator 78. More specifically, the expander 70 has an output shaft that is typically coupled to an electrical generator 78 by driving a gear reducer 77 that in turn drives the generator 78. The generator 78 provides electrical power that can be used as desired within the plant or externally.
