Definitions

• the present invention relates to a method for preparing fuel components from waste pyrolysis oil (WPO).
• WPO waste pyrolysis oil
• Recycled-type raw materials or reduced-carbon feedstocks are feeds created by the processing of fossil-based wastes, like waste plastics or end-of-life tires.
• the attractive feature of these raw materials from the viewpoint of the refinery is that they largely represent the traditional refinery feeds in that they contain only small amount of oxygen and are composed of hydrocarbons.
• Waste pyrolysis oil is not a common feedstock as refinery stream in a hydrotreatment process. It is substantially different in composition from a feedstock based on oils and fatty acids components of plant origin, and hydrotreatment reactors in prior art in general do not have capacity to handle a feedstock having the properties of waste pyrolysis oil.
• Waste pyrolysis oils such as plastic pyrolysis oils, contain different elemental impurities dependent mostly on the original raw material, but also on the pyrolysis technology employed. The three most relevant impurities in waste pyrolysis oils are nitrogen, sulphur, and chlorine, which have a detrimental effect on the utilization of the pyrolysis oil.
• HCI hydrogen chlorine
• the hydrotreatment of the hydrocarbon chains comprising nitrogen, sulphur, and chlorine will result in the production of HCI, NH 3 , and H 2 S.
• the HCI produced may be corrosive for the inlet pipe for the hydrotreatment reaction if it meets contact with water.
• the HCI may also react with the NH 3 and produce NH 4 CI, which may plug the catalyst bed.
• NH 4 CI can also lead to fouling of heat exchangers.
• the prior art teaches, in general, four different concepts for processing plastic pyrolysis oil in a refinery setting which each of them aims at solving the challenge of removing harmful element impurities, in particular halogens, such as chlorine and bromine, but sometimes also nitrogen and sulphur, prior to the hydrotreatment: Removal of the harmful impurities through sorting of the solid plastic raw material; Removal of the harmful impurities during the pyrolysis most often using the so- called pre-cracking;
• harmful element impurities in particular halogens, such as chlorine and bromine, but sometimes also nitrogen and sulphur
• the present invention is based on the principles of the last-mentioned of these concepts, but the solution according to the invention is different from the teaching of that concept in prior art.
• the literature disclosing removal of impurities from plastic pyrolysis oil is sparse, and it does not discuss plastic pyrolysis oil pre-treatment prior to refinery units for hydrotreatment.
• WO 2017088015 A1 discloses a liquid-liquid extraction, a purification methods that are specified to be used for plastic pyrolysis oils.
• US 2016/0264874 A1 discloses catalytic hydrotreatment of plastic pyrolysis oils.
• US 7,955,498 B2 discloses a method for reducing halide concentration in a hydrocarbon product having an organic halide content that is made by a hydrocarbon conversion process using a halogen containing acidic ionic liquid catalyst
• the object of the invention is to provide a method for removal of harmful impurities, in particular chlorine and nitrogen, in waste pyrolysis oil prior to conventional refinery hydrotreatment. Another object is to provide a less complex pre-treatment step that removes the impurities prior to the refinery hydrotreatment without the use of heterogeneous catalysts and external hydrogen. Yet another object is to provide a waste pyrolysis oil that can be used in existing hydrotreatment units for preparing fuel components.
• the present invention provides a method for preparing fuel components from waste pyrolysis oil (WPO), comprising:
• a waste pyrolysis oil comprising as the major part, such as at least 75 wt%, plastic pyrolysis oil (PPO) and/or tyre pyrolysis oil (TPO), the waste pyrolysis oil comprising as the major part hydrocarbons, and comprising impurities in the form of:
• - sulphur compounds comprising at least 10 mg/kg sulphur of the WPO and optionally up to 15,000 mg/kg;
• - consisting essentially of a mixture of the hydrothermally treated waste pyrolysis oil and one or more feed(s) selected from the list consisting of oxygen- containing biological oils having less than 50 mg/kg chlorine and less than 1 mg/kg silicon and hydrocarbons having less than 50 mg/kg chlorine and less than 1 mg/kg silicon;
• HDO hydrodeoxygenation
• HDS hydrodesulfurisation
• HDN hydrodenitrification
• HDCI hydrodechlorination
• HDAr hydrodearomatization
• HI hydroisomerisation
• the present invention combines a hydrolysis step prior to hydrotreatment and a hydrotreatment step in existing hydrotreatment equipment.
• waste pyrolysis oil is pre-treated by heating to temperatures of 150 to 450 °C in the presence of water or an aqueous solution having a pH of more than 7.
• the present invention it is possible to at least partially remove organic chlorine and other elemental impurities from the waste pyrolysis oils without using heterogeneous catalysts and external hydrogen.
• this purified waste pyrolysis oil is not yet a ready fuel component, there are less impurities left that would need to be removed using other means.
• this purification method essentially improves the usability of waste pyrolysis oils, such as plastic pyrolysis oil (PPO) and tyre pyrolysis oil (TPO), for e.g. existing refinery hydrotreatment units.
• waste pyrolysis oils which prior to hydrotreatment have been purified using the method according to the invention could be fed into refinery hydrotreatment units utilizing higher blends than what would be possible if the purification had not been carried out prior to feeding the feedstock to the hydrotreatment reactor.
• the reaction may be carried out in a pressurized system that includes mixing. After a certain reaction time, the mixture may be cooled, and the oil and aqueous phases separated by for example centrifugation. It is presumed that chlorine is released in the form of HCI, which is subsequently neutralized by the basic component, e.g. NaOH, if present in the aqueous solution. Consequently, the pH of the aqueous solution decreases during the reaction. Compared to the original plastic pyrolysis oil, the pyrolysis, which has been treated in this manner, has lower contents of chlorine, nitrogen, and sulphur, and in some embodiments it may also have lower contents of bromine and silicon. In some embodiments, a solid precipitate is also formed. It is therefore plausible that impurities that are removed from the pyrolysis oil are transferred to both the aqueous phase and the precipitate.
