Definitions

  • US 2013/0068997 describes a process in which solid biomass is introduced into a reactor and is agitated by a gas sufficient to reduce the size of the biomass particles so that the plurality of biomass particles can be substantially characterized by individual sizes below 1.5 mm.
  • the biomass particles are then liquefied and co-processed with a petroleum feed.
  • One aspect of the invention is a process for co-processing a hydrocarbon feedstock and a renewable biomass feedstock.
  • the process includes introducing a lift gas into a fluid catalytic cracking riser reactor zone.
  • a catalyst is introduced into the riser reactor zone at a point downstream of where the lift gas is introduced.
  • Solid particles of the biomass feedstock are injected into the riser reactor zone.
  • the hydrocarbon feedstock is introduced into the riser reactor zone.
  • the solid particles of the biomass feedstock are mixed with the catalyst, the solid particles of the biomass feedstock reacting in the presence of the catalyst to form biomass products comprising gas, vapor, and char, and the gas and vapor biomass products further reacting in the presence of the catalyst to form oxygenated hydrocarbon products.
  • the hydrocarbon feedstock is mixed with the catalyst, the hydrocarbon feedstock reacting in the presence of the catalyst to form hydrocarbon products having a lower boiling point than a boiling point of the hydrocarbon feedstock.
  • the oxygenated hydrocarbon products from the biomass feedstock, the hydrocarbon products from the hydrocarbon feedstock, or both are recovered.
  • the solid particles of biomass feedstock are injected into the riser reactor zone at a point upstream of where the hydrocarbon feedstock is introduced and at or downstream of the point where the catalyst is introduced, or at a point downstream of where the hydrocarbon feedstock and the catalyst are introduced.
  • the riser reactor zone includes a riser reactor; a chamber at the bottom of the riser reactor, the chamber having a lift gas inlet, a biomass inlet, and a catalyst inlet; and a hydrocarbon inlet in the riser reactor, the hydrocarbon inlet being positioned downstream of the chamber.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates one embodiment of a fluid catalytic cracking process of the present invention.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates the riser reactor of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates another embodiment of a riser reactor with a chamber useful in the process of the present invention.
  • Fig. 4 is a cross section of the chamber illustrated in Fig. 3.
  • the biomass is converted into oxygenated hydrocarbon products having a lower oxygen content than those formed by pyrolysis and catalytic pyrolysis units.
  • Thermal pyrolysis oil typically contains 30 to 50 wt% oxygen and 20 to 30 wt% water with high acidity (TAN greater than 150).
  • Oil from a catalytic process typically contains less than 5 wt% oxygen and less than 1 wt% water. The goal of the present process is to produce a product using biomass that has very low oxygen content.
  • an oxygen content of less than 4 wt% can be obtained, or less than 3 wt%, or less than 2 wt%, or less than 1 wt%, or less than 0.75 wt%, or less than 0.5 wt%, or less than 0.3 wt%, or less than 0.2 wt%.
  • the oxygenated hydrocarbon product from the biomass is thus more valuable than products made using the prior art processes because: 1) it is more stable in storage and transportation; 2) it is fully miscible with hydrocarbon; 3) it has a higher energy content; and 4) and it is from a renewable resource.
  • the hydrocarbon feed is converted to hydrocarbon products having a lower boiling point than the feed.
  • hydrocarbon products include, but are not limited to, propane, butane, light naphtha, heavy naphtha, cycle oil, and the like.
  • FCC is a well-known process for the conversion of relatively high boiling point hydrocarbons to lower boiling point hydrocarbons in the heating oil or gasoline (or lighter) range.
  • FCC units generally have one or more reaction chambers. A hydrocarbon stream is contacted in the reaction chamber(s) with a particulate cracking catalyst that is maintained in a fluidized state under conditions that are suitable for the conversion of the relatively high boiling point hydrocarbons to lower boiling point hydrocarbons.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 illustrate one embodiment of the FCC process 10 of the present invention.
  • the FCC unit includes a vertical conduit or riser 28.
  • the lift gas 37 is introduced into the riser 28 through nozzle 38, and the particulate cracking catalyst 30 may be introduced into the riser 28 at a catalyst outlet 31.
  • the biomass can be dried to minimize the amount of water that has to be processed in the fractionation system.
  • the biomass is typically dried to less than 20% moisture, or less than 10%, or between 4% and 8%, although higher moisture content can be used.
  • the moisture content is not critical because the product has low solubility in water, and it separates easily from the water. The water poses a heat and vapor load on the system, but not a product quality problem.
  • the moisture content is critical in the thermal pyrolysis process of biomass because the water in the biomass adds to the water that comes from the conversion of the biomass. All of the water ends up in the liquid product, diluting the energy content of the product and reducing its value.
  • the moisture content of the product exceeds 30%>, the product will separate into two immiscible phases, an aqueous phase of limited value and a viscous, low value organic phase.
  • the biomass is then ground to a size appropriate for rapid heat transfer from the catalyst in the riser to the biomass particles, typically in the range of 0.5 mm to 6 mm, with up to 0.5 wt% outside this range. Size ranges larger than this increase the likelihood and frequency of bridging in the biomass feed system or plugging in the auger.
  • the ground biomass particles 32 are injected through nozzles at the biomass inlet 35 into the reactor riser 28 by an appropriate system, such as a pressurized auger.
  • the biomass inlet 35 is located upstream of the hydrocarbon inlet 36 in the reactor riser 28 but downstream of the catalyst inlet 31 and the catalyst acceleration zone 29. In an alternate embodiment, the biomass inlet 35 is located downstream of the hydrocarbon inlet 36 and the catalyst inlet 31. In another embodiment, the biomass inlet 35 is located at the bottom of the riser 28 at or near the level of the lift gas inlet 38 and upstream of the catalyst inlet 31 and the hydrocarbon inlet.
  • the biomass 32 mixes with the hot catalyst 30 in the riser reactor 28.
  • the hot catalyst 30 thermally decomposes the biomass 32 into gas, vapor, and char.
  • the vapor and gas are further converted by the catalyst 31 to valuable products.
  • the holocellulose and the lignin in the biomass thermally depolymerize, and the phenolic monomers from the lignin and the sugar monomers from the holocellulose react within the catalyst to form oxygenated hydrocarbons having a much lower oxygen content than can be achieved by pyro lysis alone.
  • the hot catalyst 30 and partially converted biomass products then meet with the atomized hydrocarbon feed 33 which is introduced at hydrocarbon feed inlet 36.
  • the hydrocarbon feed 33 reacts over the catalyst 30 to form hydrocarbon products, such as cracked hydrocarbons.
  • Catalytic cracking of the mixture 46 of the hydrocarbon feed stream 33, the biomass feed 32, and the lift gas 37 produces an effluent 59 that includes spent particulate cracking catalyst 76 and a gaseous component 61.
  • the gaseous component 61 includes products from the reactions in the riser 28, as described above.
  • the spent particulate cracking catalyst 76 and the gaseous component 61 are separated.
  • the gaseous component 61 of the effluent 59 is separated from the spent particulate cracking catalyst 76 in a separator vessel 62, and the gaseous component 61 may be vented from the separator vessel 62 via a product line 60.
  • Various separation schemes are known in the art for separating the spent particulate catalyst 76 and the gaseous component 61.
  • bulk separation is accomplished by passing the effluent 59 through a tee disengager 47, followed by passing the effluent through a primary cyclone 49 and secondary cyclone 51 to complete the separation.
  • multiple sets of cyclones are generally used, only one set of the primary cyclone 49 and the secondary cyclone 51 is shown.
  • the spent particulate cracking catalyst 76 falls downward to a stripper 68, where stripping steam 45 is introduced and combined with the spent particulate cracking catalyst 76.
  • a catalyst regenerator 70 is in fluid communication with the separator vessel 62 and with the riser 28.
  • the spent particulate cracking catalyst 76 that is separated from the gaseous component 61 is introduced into the catalyst regenerator 70 from the stripper 68, and coke is removed from the spent particulate cracking catalyst 76 in the catalyst regenerator 70.
  • the catalyst regenerator 70 passes regenerated particulate catalyst 30 to the riser 28.
  • the gaseous component 61 from the cracking zone is typically processed through a product recovery section, not shown.
  • Methane, ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene, light naphtha, heavy naphtha, cycle oil and slurry oil are all potentially part of the first slate of products recovered from the cracking zone.
  • the exact products derived from the catalytic cracking process depend on the feedstock selected, the exact process conditions, the cracking catalyst selected, the downstream processes that are available and the current, relative economic value of the products.
  • the cracking zone can be operated at any useful process conditions. Temperatures generally range from 470°C to 600°C.
  • the reactor temperature can be adjusted to maximize the desired products from the process. For example, the lowest-boiling products, such as propylene, are maximized at the highest reactor temperature, and the intermediate boiling range products, such as naphtha, are maximized at lower temperatures.
  • Pressures typically vary between 69 KPa and 280 KPa. Variations in these conditions are due to differences in feedstock, catalyst and process equipment.
  • Residence time for the catalytic cracker feedstock in contact with the cracking catalyst in the riser is typically from 0.1 to 5 seconds, or 0.5 to 3 seconds, or less than or equal to 2 seconds. The exact residence time depends upon the catalytic cracker feedstock quality, the specific catalyst, and the desired product distribution. Short residence time assures that the desired products are not converted to undesirable products by further reaction.
  • the diameter and height of the riser may be varied and/or diluents such as steam or lift gas may be added to the riser to obtain the desired residence time.
  • riser reactors can be upflow units, as illustrated, or downflow units (not shown).
