Definitions

  • This invention relates to increasing the production of lighter hydrocarbons, such as ethylene, propylene and the butylenes, and gasoline in conjunction with the operation of a fluidized catalytic cracking process.
  • Propylene is second in importance only to ethylene as a petrochemical raw material building block.
  • Propylene has traditionally been obtained as a by-product from steam cracking to produce ethylene and from refinery fluidized catalytic cracking processes to produce gasoline.
  • the projected growth in demand for propylene has started to exceed that of ethylene so that existing processes cannot satisfy the future propylene demand.
  • a catalytic paraffinic naphtha cracking process can be utilized.
  • Fluidized catalytic cracking is a well-known and widely practiced process for converting heavy hydrocarbons, gasoils and residues into lighter hydrocarbon fractions.
  • the process for the cracking of hydrocarbon feedstocks relies on contact with heated fluidized catalytic particles in a reaction zone maintained at appropriate temperatures and pressures.
  • carbonaceous deposits commonly referred to as coke
  • the deactivated, or spent, catalyst is separated from the cracked products, stripped of removable hydrocarbons and passed to a regeneration vessel where the coke is burned from the catalyst in the presence of air to produce a substantially regenerated catalyst.
  • the combustion products are removed from the vessel as flue gas.
  • the heated regenerated catalyst is then recycled to the reaction zone in the FCC unit.
  • a general description of the FCC process is provided in U.S. Pat. No. 5,372,704, the complete disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
  • ancillary reactors and other treatment vessels have been provided to treat a particular fraction or reaction product stream.
  • multiple reactors are provided, each with a different feed, in order to derive a particularly desired product stream.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,090,949 describes a method for upgrading poor quality olefinic gasoline using two reactor risers, one of which receives a typical gas feedstream, while the second is used to crack a feedstream consisting primarily of low quality olefinic gasoline.
  • the reactor temperature is from 450° F. to 900° F. and the catalyst-to-olefinic gasoline ratio is in the range of from 1 to 40, with a residence time in the range of from 1 to 30 seconds.
  • a process employing multiple cracking zones in either a fluidized bed or in parallel riser reactors is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,856,659.
  • paraffinic naphtha feed from the crude unit is mixed with recycled cracked naphtha (olefinic) and fed to one of the riser reactors.
  • Typical operating temperatures range from 900° F. to 1,300° F. with a catalyst/oil ratio of from 3 to 20 and a residence time of from 1 to 10 seconds.
  • a method for upgrading or cracking virgin naphtha is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,830,728 using a single catalyst of the Y zeolite type, or a combination of Y zeolite ZSM-5.
  • ethylene is mixed with the virgin naphtha in the riser reactor.
  • This process mentions upgrading straight run naphtha, which is mixed with recycled cracked material and injected into a separate upflow riser reactor.
  • a method is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,372,704 that employs spent catalyst in a re-cracking reactor for limited conversion of FCC naphtha or other thermally produced olefinic naphtha to light products with an increase in the product naphtha octane rating.
  • the operating conditions for this process are relatively mild with temperatures in the 800° F. to 1,100° F. range and a residence time of from 1 to 100 seconds.
  • an external source such as a crude atmospheric distillation column, toppers, as a by-product stream from a hydrotreater or hydrocracker units, or other high paraffinic naphtha stream from an extraction process
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide a novel process for efficiently cracking a paraffinic naphtha feedstock to produce a lighter hydrocarbon product stream consisting of ethylene, propylene, butylenes and gasoline, which reaction product stream can either be recovered separately and further fractionated to recover the individual components or combined with an effluent stream from the FCC unit for further fractionation.
  • paraffinic naphtha feed shall be understood to include any hydrocarbon charge stock boiling in the range of pentane (C 5 ) hydrocarbons up to about 450° F. that contains 40% to 80% by weight of paraffinic components with very little olefin components. The remaining components will be naphthenes, aromatics and olefins in descending order of composition.
  • This paraffinic naphtha feed usually comes from crude or other atmospheric fractionation columns, but can also be derived from other processes which produce paraffinic-containing hydrocarbons. For example, hydrotreater processes known in the refining and petrochemical art will produce paraffinic hydrocarbons from olefinic and aromatic type feed streams that can be used in the practice of the invention.
  • paraffinic naphtha will also be understood to include light straight run (LSR) naphtha, or virgin naphtha, such as that obtained from a crude distillation unit, and will also include high paraffinic naphtha feedstreams resulting from extraction processes, all of which are known in the art.
  • LSR light straight run
  • virgin naphtha such as that obtained from a crude distillation unit
  • a downward flow fluidized catalyst reactor is added as an ancillary reactor to the existing FCC process unit operation.
  • the ancillary downflow reactor system utilizes the same hot regenerated catalyst as is used in the FCC unit.
  • the regenerated catalyst and a virgin paraffinic naphtha feedstream derived from a source that is independent of the FCC unit are introduced and thoroughly mixed in an upper portion of the downflow reactor that is above the reaction zone.
  • the mixture passes through the reaction zone with a residence time of 0.1 seconds to 5 seconds, and preferably in a range of 0.2 seconds to 2 seconds, where the reaction zone operating temperature is from 900° F. to 1,200° F.
  • the ratio of catalyst-to-naphtha, also referred to as the catalyst-to-oil ratio, in the reaction zone is in the range of from 10 percent to 80 percent by weight, with a preferred operating range of from 20 percent to 50 percent by weight.
  • the determination of the catalyst-to-oil ratio is an indication of operating severity and its determination is well known to the art.
  • the efficient operation of this process is dependent upon the introduction of a single feedstream consisting of a virgin paraffinic naphtha feed.
  • the relatively low residence times and higher catalyst-to-oil ratios of 20 to 50 percent by weight are specific to the paraffinic naphtha feedstream.
  • the introduction of other hydrocarbons into the feedstream of the secondary downflow reactor will adversely affect the yields of the desired lighter hydrocarbon reaction products.
  • the downflow reactor provides several advantages including the relative ease of separating the desired end products from other components.
  • the improved process of the invention can be utilized with prior art FCC units, whether they employ riser cracking in an upward or downward flow reaction scheme, or bed cracking to catalytically convert naphthas to the desired lighter hydrocarbons.
  • Any existing FCC catalyst can be employed in the practice of the improved process of the invention.

  • the flue gases are removed from the regenerator via conduit ( 26 ), and the temperature of the regenerated catalyst is raised to provide heat for the endothermic cracking reaction in the reactor vessel ( 10 ).
  • the novel apparatus component and method of operation depicted in FIG. 2 relates to the downflow reactor ( 30 ) which hot receives regenerated catalyst via transfer line ( 28 ) that is introduced into an upper portion of the vessel ( 30 ).
  • Feedline ( 32 ) introduces a paraffinic naphtha feedstream from a source other than the FCC unit for mixing with the incoming regenerated catalyst from regenerator ( 20 ).

  • the hot regenerated catalyst at approximately 1250° F. to 1500° F. is transferred from the regenerator vessel ( 20 ) of the FCC process by conventional means, e.g., through a downwardly directed conduit or pipe ( 28 ), commonly referred to as a transfer line or standpipe, to a withdrawal well or hopper ( 31 ) at the top of the downflow reactor above the reaction zone ( 33 ) where the hot catalyst flow is allowed to stabilize in order to be uniformly directed into the mix zone or feed injection portion of the reaction zone ( 33 ).
  • a pressure stabilization line ( 38 ) connects the top of the withdrawal well ( 31 ) to the existing regenerator ( 20 ).
  • the naphtha feedstock is injected into the mixing zone through feed injection nozzles ( 32 a ) placed in the immediate vicinity of the point of introduction of the regenerated catalyst into the downflow reactor ( 30 ). These multiple injection nozzles ( 32 a ) result in the catalyst and oil mixing thoroughly and uniformly. Once the paraffinic naphtha feedstock contacts the hot catalyst the cracking reactions occur. The reaction vapor of hydrocarbon cracked products and unreacted naphtha feed and catalyst mixture quickly flows through the remainder of the downflow reactor and into a rapid separation section ( 35 ) at the bottom portion of the reactor.
