Background
Increasingly strict environmental regulations require higher and higher quality diesel products, mainly with greater and greater limits on sulfur content, cetane number, density and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon content. The inferior diesel oil hydrogenation modification technology can greatly reduce the sulfur content and the aromatic hydrocarbon content of the diesel oil product, reduce the density and improve the cetane number. Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) is one of the important means for the conversion of heavy oil into light oil, but with the deterioration and the heavy conversion of the catalytic cracking processing raw material, the operation conditions are more and more strict, the yield of light products and the product properties are poor, and the hydrotreating technology of the catalytic cracking raw material can not only remove the contents of sulfur, nitrogen, metal and other impurities, but also improve the cracking performance of the feeding material, reduce the operation severity of FCC, improve the product distribution, improve the selectivity of target products, reduce the yield of dry gas and coke, improve the economy of an FCC device, reduce the sulfur content of the target products, reduce the SOx and NOx content in the regeneration flue gas, and the like. The catalytic cracking Light Cycle Oil (LCO) contains a certain content of sulfur and nitrogen, both of which exist in the form of organic compounds, and has high aromatic hydrocarbon content, especially the content of aromatic hydrocarbons with more than two rings, and the LCO is generally directly circulated back to a catalytic cracking device for continuous conversion, or enters a hydrotreating device for hydrogenation and then enters the catalytic cracking device, or enters other devices for processing or directly serves as a product.
The diesel oil fraction hydrogenation upgrading technology, such as CN1156752A and CN1289832A, is a hydrogenation process technology using a hydrofining catalyst and a Y-type molecular sieve hydrogenation upgrading catalyst. Diesel oil fraction hydroisomerization pour point reducing technology, such as CN1718683A and CN1712499A, uses hydrofining catalyst and beta-zeolite-containing hydroisomerization pour point reducing catalyst, and adopts a one-stage series process to produce diesel oil product, but under the same hydro-upgrading condition, its cetane number is lower than that of hydro-upgraded diesel oil, and its technological condition is more strict than that of hydro-pour point diesel oil product. CN101875856A, CN102465035A, CN106701189A, and CN106701190A disclose a process technology for blending LCO in wax oil hydrotreating or residual oil hydrotreating process, which mainly aims to produce high-quality catalytic cracking raw material, or a coupling technology for circulating LCO between a wax oil hydrotreating device and a catalytic cracking device, so as to realize clean production of the catalytic cracking device.
In conclusion, the existing diesel oil hydrogenation modification technology can obtain higher diesel oil product yield by using poor diesel oil fraction, the product quality is greatly improved, such as cetane number, sulfur content, aromatic hydrocarbon content, density and the like, or the condensation point of a diesel oil product is greatly reduced to meet the index requirement of low-condensation diesel oil, and the diesel oil obtained by hydrogenation modification is directly used as a product without producing FCC raw materials. In the existing LCO hydrogenation technology, LCO is usually directly blended into a diesel oil refining device, a wax oil hydrotreating device or a residual oil hydrotreating device for hydrogenation, hydrogenated diesel oil obtained after mixing hydrogenation is directly used as a diesel oil product, hydrogenated wax oil, hydrogenated residual oil and hydrogenated LCO are jointly used as raw materials of a catalytic cracking device, namely the LCO is hydrogenated and then returns to the catalytic cracking device, and the quality of catalytic cracking gasoline is not optimal because the hydrogenation depth of the LCO is not controlled deliberately and only the total sulfur and nitrogen content of a hydrotreating mixed material is controlled. And the diesel oil product produced by the process technology is only one, and the product flexibility is poor.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention provides a flexible hydro-upgrading process for poor diesel, namely, a part of reactant flow is extracted from the middle part of a hydrofining reactor, and the poor diesel raw oil is subjected to hydro-upgrading and supplementary hydro-refining to flexibly produce high-quality hydro-upgraded diesel products and high-quality FCC raw materials.
The invention relates to a flexible hydro-upgrading process for poor diesel, which comprises the following steps:
a. firstly, passing the poor-quality diesel raw oil through a first hydrofining catalyst bed layer of a hydrofining reactor under the hydrofining condition to obtain a first hydrofining material flow, wherein the part of the reaction material flow is divided into two parts, and one part of the reaction material flow is pumped out of the hydrofining reactor;
b. b, continuously allowing the rest part of the first hydrofining material flow in the step a to pass through a second hydrofining catalyst bed layer of the hydrofining reactor under the hydrofining condition to obtain a hydrofining material flow;
c. b, allowing the hydrofined material flow obtained in the step b to enter a hydro-upgrading reactor, allowing the hydrofined material flow to pass through a hydro-upgrading catalyst bed under the hydro-upgrading condition, and separating and fractionating the hydro-upgraded material flow to obtain a hydro-upgrading high-pressure hydrogen-rich gas, a hydro-upgrading gas product, a hydro-upgrading naphtha product and a hydro-upgrading diesel product;
d. and (b) passing the first hydrofined material flow extracted from the reactor in the step a through a supplementary hydrofined catalyst bed layer of the supplementary hydrofined reactor under the hydrofining condition after being independent or mixed with other poor-quality raw oil, and separating and fractionating the supplementary hydrofined material flow to obtain supplementary hydrofined high-pressure hydrogen-rich gas, supplementary hydrofined naphtha and supplementary hydrofined diesel.
The flexible hydro-upgrading process for poor diesel oil can further comprise the following steps of e: and d, mixing the hydro-upgrading high-pressure hydrogen-rich gas obtained in the step c with the supplementary hydro-refining high-pressure hydrogen-rich gas obtained in the step d for recycling.
The diesel oil hydrogenation upgrading process uses two types of catalysts, the hydrofining catalyst can effectively remove S, N, O and other impurities in the diesel oil raw oil, aromatic hydrocarbon is subjected to hydrogenation saturation to a certain extent, and the ring-opening reaction of cyclic hydrocarbon occurs when the hydrofining material flow continuously passes through a hydrogenation upgrading catalyst bed layer, or macromolecules are cracked into small molecules, so that the cetane number of a diesel oil product is effectively improved, the density is reduced, or the condensation point is reduced, and the quality of the diesel oil product is integrally improved. The requirements of product quality, environmental protection, process operation and the like all limit the properties of raw oil of a catalytic cracking unit, particularly the sulfur content, and the distribution and properties of catalytic cracking products are greatly different due to different raw oil compositions; the research shows that: the aromatic hydrocarbon hydrogenation saturation depth of LCO has a large influence on the quality of catalytic cracking gasoline products, particularly monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in gasoline is a high-octane component, the octane number of the catalytic cracking gasoline can be increased by increasing the content of the monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in hydrogenated LCO, part of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in extracted hydrofining material flow is already partially hydrogenated and saturated, the rest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon can be further hydrogenated and saturated by further supplementing a hydrofining catalyst, namely the hydrogenation depth of LCO can be just controlled by adjusting the volume space velocity and the reaction temperature, namely, the bicyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in LCO are hydrogenated to the monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon on the premise of meeting the sulfur content, but not the hydrogenation depth generates cyclane excessively, or the hydrogenation depth is insufficient to generate the bicyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, so that the content of the aromatic hydrocarbon in the catalytic cracking gasoline can be increased when the hydrofined products enter a catalytic cracking device again, thereby improving the octane number of the catalytic cracking gasoline. For the two processes, the common part is that inferior diesel oil needs to be hydrofined, only the hydrofining depth is different, the hydro-upgrading not only needs to completely remove impurities such as sulfur, nitrogen and the like, but also needs to control the deep hydrogenation depth of aromatic hydrocarbon, and the LCO hydrogenation is mainly used for controlling the hydrogenation of the aromatic hydrocarbon to monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon when being used as an FCC raw material.
Compared with the prior art, the flexible hydrogenation modification process of the inferior diesel has the advantages that:
1. in the invention, the hydrofining reactor comprises at least two hydrofining catalyst beds. The refined material extraction step arranged in the middle of the bed layer of the hydrofining reactor can realize effective distribution of hydrofining material strands without special operation, and the obtained material is subjected to different hydrogenation processes, so that high-quality diesel oil products and high-quality catalytic cracking raw materials can be flexibly produced. At the same time, it is technically easy to extract the reactant stream in the middle of the reactor bed. In the prior art, a set of hydrogenation devices can only obtain diesel products with one specification; if diesel oil products with different specifications are required, more than two sets of hydrogenation devices are required. Therefore, the invention provides a hydro-conversion process for producing more than two diesel fraction products with different specification requirements on one set of hydrogenation process device at the same time for the first time.
2. According to the method, the first hydrofining material flow extracting device is arranged in the middle of the catalyst bed layer of the hydrofining reactor, the first hydrofining material flow obtained by partially hydrofining the diesel oil raw material is extracted out of the reactor and is sent into the independently arranged supplementary hydrofining reactor to carry out supplementary hydrogenation reaction, the degree of the supplementary hydrogenation reaction is controlled, and the depth of hydrogenation of aromatic hydrocarbon is controlled, so that the method can produce high-quality catalytic cracking raw materials.
3. In the invention, the diesel raw oil is subjected to deep hydrofining and hydro-upgrading to obtain a high-quality diesel product with high cetane number, low density or low condensation point and no impurities such as sulfur, nitrogen and the like.
4. In the invention, the material obtained in the middle of the hydrofining catalyst bed layer of the hydrofining reactor has very high temperature and pressure, and can directly enter a newly arranged supplementary hydrofining reactor for reaction, thereby fully utilizing the heat carried by the part of the refined material and realizing the coupling operation of the hydrofining reactor and the supplementary hydrofining reactor.

Therefore, another technical solution of the present invention includes:
a flexible hydro-upgrading method for poor diesel oil comprises the following steps:
a. cutting the poor-quality diesel raw oil into light fraction and heavy fraction; the heavy fraction firstly passes through a first hydrofining catalyst bed layer of a hydrofining reactor under the hydrofining condition to obtain a first hydrofining material flow, the part of the reaction material flow is divided into two parts, and one part of the reaction material flow is extracted from the hydrofining reactor;
b. b, allowing the rest part of the first hydrofining material flow in the step a to pass through a second hydrofining catalyst bed layer of a hydrofining reactor independently or together with part of the light fraction under the hydrofining condition to obtain a hydrofining material flow;
