Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hydrocarbon pre-reforming process, more particularly to a catalytic hydrocarbon pre-reforming process in the presence of water vapor and oxygen-free catalyst for hydrogen production by steam reforming. gas phase hydrocarbons and process for their manufacture.
- Hydrogen or hydrogen rich gases are produced on a large scale for use in the refining industry, ammonia production, methanol production and liquid hydrocarbon production from the "Fischer Tropsch" process and in various petrochemical and hydrogenation processes.
- the steam reforming process may have different configurations, depending on the type of charge and desired use for the hydrogen rich gas to be produced.
- Such configurations may include a pre-reform reactor, which is particularly advantageous when the unit uses naphtha or various ratios of naphtha and natural gas as a feedstock, when it is desired to limit the amount of steam exported in the process or when it is desired to work. with low vapor / carbon ratios, It is particularly useful when it is desired to obtain a hydrogen-rich stream of suitable CO content for use in the production of liquid hydrocarbons by the Fischer-Tropsch process.
- the pre-reforming step is typically performed in a fixed bed reactor containing a nickel-based catalyst under typical conditions of temperature between 350 ° C to 550 ° C, vapor / carbon ratio between 1 to 5 and pressure up to 40 bar. .
- the literature teaches that nickel-based pre-reforming catalysts are subject to deactivation by coke formation, which in turn leads to reduced activity and / or increased pressure drop in the industrial reactor.
- Carbon formation on pre-reforming catalysts can occur by one or more of the following reactions:
- carbon may be formed by hydrocarbon cracking reactions (reactions 4 and 5) and / or CO disproportionation and will produce carbon atoms on the catalyst surface which are coke precursors which in turn can encapsulate the carbon. active surface or produce carbon filaments in the metal particles.
- carbon filament formation has the ability to generate a high carbon content on the catalyst and may even lead to its fragmentation, both phenomena contribute to the increased pressure drop in industrial reactors.
- a known technique for reducing the problems associated with coke formation in pre-retirement reactors is the selection of operating variables, particularly the vapor / carbon, hydrogen / charge and temperature ratio, so that it is possible to operate in a range of temperature, where above the maximum recommended temperature occurs the formation of coke, known as whisker and below the minimum recommended temperature occurs the formation of coke by deposition of gum on the catalyst.
- Factors that contribute to accelerating the coke formation rate in pre-reform catalysts are known in the literature and involve the use of low vapor / carbon ratios, low hydrogen / charge ratios, and the type of raw material used. Considering the raw material, it is known in the state of the art that hydrocarbons in the naphtha range are more prone to carbon deposition than natural gas. Among other factors that contribute to coke formation, the literature teaches that the presence of olefins is one of the most important factors and can greatly accelerate the accumulation of coke on pre-reform catalysts.
- Applied Catalysis, 31 (1987) pages 200 to 207 teaches the method of preparing a Ni / Al 2 O 3 -MgO-NiO catalyst by co-precipitation, which has good resistance to carbon deposition.
- the catalyst is difficult to reduce, with a degree of reduction of around 50% at a temperature of 500 ° C, which was associated with the formation of solid NiO-MgO solutions.
- NiO-MgO phases can be formed which are reduced only by hydrogen exposure at temperatures in the range of 800 ° C to 850 ° C (Applied Catalysis, 28 (1988) 365-377), which temperatures do not can be achieved in a typical pre-reform industrial reactor. Such behavior leads to the non-utilization of a significant Ni phase present in the catalyst or the adoption of catalyst pre-reduction and passivation processes. It is well known that commercial pre-reforming catalysts containing magnesium in their formulation are often marketed in pre-reduced form, which entails additional costs and handling care to avoid their oxidation. It is also known in industrial practice that commercial catalysts containing a MgO free phase need to be carefully heated in the absence of water vapor to avoid hydration of the MgO phase which may lead to catalyst breakage and consequent increased loss. loading
- US Patent 7,427,388 (2008 Air Products) teaches a process for preforming natural gas containing hydrocarbons larger than methane which includes contacting steam, hydrogen and natural gas containing hydrocarbons larger than methane with a catalyst based of nickel and less than oxygen required to partially oxidize hydrocarbons.
- oxygen to the pre-reform process entails additional costs for the production and / or purification of the gas produced if air is used as an oxygen source and may also have technical limitations for use in existing units due to temperatures. potentially occurring in the process by the addition of oxygen.
- olefins are the class of hydrocarbons that greatly favor coke formation in pre-reform or steam reforming catalysts.
- a typical stream containing olefins is refinery gas, which may be used for the production of hydrogen or synthesis gas by the steam reforming process, provided that it is properly purified from sulfur compounds and olefins.
- the removal of olefins is generally performed in the pretreatment section of the steam reforming unit and typically involves the use of a reactor containing NiMo / alumina catalyst, preferably in the sulfide state, and high hydrogen recycle flow rate. provide the hydrogen needed to saturate the olefins and to control the reaction temperature due to the heat released by the exothermic hydrogenation reactions of the olefins.
- Such olefin removal processes although efficient, have high costs related to investing in reactor, catalyst and compressors for hydrogen recycling.
- Olefins may also be present in the tail gas from recycled Fischer Tropsch process streams to the pre-reform section of the steam reforming unit.
- the gaseous effluent from the Fischer Trospch unit contains methane, ethane, carbon dioxide, as well as hydrogen and unreacted carbon monoxide, after separation processes to remove olefins and larger chain oxygenated compounds.
- olefins such as ethylene
- commercial pre-reforming catalysts are subject to rapid coke formation by the presence of olefins in their feed, which results in reduced steam reforming activity and increased pressure drop in the pre-reactor. may lead to premature shutdown of the unit to replace the catalyst inventory.
- the catalyst of the present invention may be used in the pre-reforming step in technologies for transforming natural gas into synthesis gas in a first step and then in liquid hydrocarbons as an option for the disposal of petroleum-associated natural gas on a platform.
- Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) type Floating Production Storage and Offloading
- the present invention teaches the preparation of a nickel-based catalyst for coke-resistant deactivation-resistant natural gas pre-reforming due to the presence of olefins in natural gas or recycle gas from processes such as Fischer -Tropsch "added in conjunction with steam and natural gas.
- Such a solution can be adopted to reduce the problems associated with increased pressure drop during olefin-containing gas pre-reform at a lower cost than the noble metal-based catalyst solution.
- the present invention can also be used in conventional hydrogen production processes. and onshore synthesis gas which have in their its process configuration pre-retirement reactors, with potential benefit of extending campaign time, by reducing the coke formation rate.
- the present invention relates to a hydrocarbon preforming process, catalyst for hydrogen production by hydrocarbon steam reforming and a process for their manufacture, wherein said preforming catalyst contains an inorganic oxide support, oxides of Ni, La and Ce, with ratios of these compounds from 6: 1 (w / w) to 15: 1 (w / w) between NiO and La 2 0 3 and 2: 1 (w / w) to 4: 1 ( w / w) between Ce 2 0 3 and La 2 0 3 and a total NiO content between 4% w / w and 50% w / w.
