Definitions

  • the present invention is related to a process to supply solid particles to a fluidized bed via a substantially vertical riser which has an upper outlet opening in said fluidized bed and wherein the solid particles are transported upwards via the riser with a lift gas, which lift gas and solid particles, are contacted at the lower end of the substantially vertical riser.
  • the invention is especially directed to a process for improving distributions of both spent catalyst and , lift gas into a regenerator of a fluid catalytic cracking unit .
  • FCCU Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit
  • a regenerator a riser reactor and a stripper
  • finely divided regenerated catalyst is drawn from the regenerator through the regenerator standpipe and contacts with a hydrocarbon feedstock in a lower portion of a reactor riser.
  • Hydrocarbon feedstock and steam enter the riser through feed nozzles.
  • the mixture of feed, steam and regenerated catalyst which has a temperature of from about 200 °C to about 700 °C, passes up through the riser reactor, converting the feed into lighter products while a coke layer deposits on the
  • the regenerated ca-talyst is then drawn from the regenerator fluidized bed through the regenerator standpipe and, in repetition of the previously mentioned cycle, contacts the feedstock in the reactor riser.
  • Catalyst regeneration is a critical step in FCCU operation. The success of the step depends on the contacting efficiency between the spent catalyst and oxygen-containing gas in the regenerator. While the operation of an FCCU with a single catalyst inlet opening was acceptable for many years, the potential benefit of improving catalyst distribution in the regenerator has become apparent more recently. An ideal condition for catalyst distribution is that the time for distribution and mixing of catalyst should be less than that for coke combustion. As the regenerator diameter increases, the radial mixing time of catalyst becomes longer. At the same time, as the regeneration temperature increases, the time required for combustion becomes shorter. Hence, the benefit of improving spent catalyst distribution is more significant for an FCCU comprising a regenerator vessel of large .diameter or in which regeneration is conducted at higher temperature.
  • Another important aspect of the spent catalyst distribution is to control afterburn, which is characterized by substantial temperature increase in the dilute phase of the regenerator above the fluidized bed. If the lift gas, most commonly air, coming along with the spent catalyst is not well distributed, gas will form large bubbles at the discharge of the spent catalyst distributor, rising quickly through the fluidized bed with little time for combustion, and releasing oxygen- rich gas into the dilute phase. This leads to afterburn and poor combustion efficiency of the transport gas in the fluidized bed.
  • EP-A-622116 discloses a device which distributes spent catalyst and lift gas by means of a central vertical spent catalyst riser terminated with a junction connecting to multiple, horizontal conveying conduits and discharging catalyst at the ends of the horizontal conduits to discrete distribution points.
  • the lower end of the riser will thus comprise a solids inlet and means to provide lift gas to position below and above said solids inlet.
  • the solids inlet is suitably connected to a solids supply conduit through which solids flow to the solids inlet mainly due to gravity. Because the solids are only significantly accelerated at a position above the solids inlet point a more evenly distributed flow of lift gas and solids throughout the riser is achieved. It has been found surprisingly that this more evenly flow through the whole length ' of the riser, which can range from 6 to 30 meters, would have such a major impact in the distribution of solids and gas in the fluidized bed in which gas and solids are dispersed into.
  • An even more evenly flow in the riser can be achieved when the on the interior surface of the riser one or more contacting devices are present. These devices will create turbulence and thus further promote an evenly flow of solids across the cross sectional area of the riser. Examples of such devices are the arc shaped mixing devices as disclosed in WO-A-9814533, the turbulence generating means as disclosed in US-A-5851380 or the venturi shaped contacting devices as disclosed in US-A-3353925.
  • the lift gas being provided at the second inlet point should be sufficient to maintain a dense fluidized bed at the position at which the solids enter the riser.
  • a dense fluidized bed is meant a bed having a preferred catalyst density of between 300 and 900 kg/m ⁇ and more preferably between 500 and 900 kg/m.3.
  • the superficial velocity of the' gas in the dense fluidized bed is preferably between 0,1 and 1 m/s for air as lift gas.
  • suitable means to supply lift gas at the second inlet position are conduits placed in the riser provided with upwardly directed gas discharge openings.
  • a sieve plate present in ' the cross sectional area of the riser below the catalyst inlet point through which lift gas is provided.
  • the conduit with openings may for example be an annular ring provided with upwardly directed gas discharge openings.
  • the amount of lift gas added at this first inlet point should be sufficient to create a dilute phase fluidized bed wherein gas and solids are transported upwards.
  • the more dilute phase fluidized bed which is present between the second and first inlet point, is meant a fluidized bed which is more dilute than the dense fluidized bed according to this invention.
  • the more dilute phase fluidized bed has a catalyst density of below 500 kg/m.3 and more preferably between 20 and 400 kg/m.3.
  • the superficial gas velocity in the more dilute phase fluidized bed is preferably between 1.5 and 20 m/s.
  • lift gas is added at said first inlet point at evenly distributed positions across the cross- sectional area of the dense fluidized bed.
  • suitable means to supply lift gas are conduits placed in the riser provided with upwardly directed gas discharge openings.
  • the conduit with openings may for example be an annular ring provided with upwardly directed gas discharge openings.
  • single point inlet devices having an upwardly directed gas discharge opening and optionally provided with a deflector cone may also be used.
  • the upper end of the substantially vertical riser will suitably be provided with means to distribute the solids and the lift gas in the dense fluidized bed.
  • means may for example be a device as described in the above referred to EP-A-622116 or similar devices comprising outwardly conveying conduits to distribute the solids.
  • a device found especially suitable is described in co-pending PCT application PCT/EP01/13624 and is incorporated herein by reference.
  • Such device comprises: a first disk surrounding the upper opening of the substantially vertical riser at the uppermost end of said riser, a second disk, spaced upwardly from, and rigidly connected to, said first disk, thereby forming a substantially open space therebetween; a deflection cone attached, at its base, to said second disk, said deflection cone pointing downward and being centred over the outlet of said conduit, said deflection cone adapted to direct said spent catalyst and said transfer gas in a substantially uniform, radially outward direction through said space formed between said first disk and said second disk, thereby providing a continuous circumferential discharge of said mixture of solids and lift gas from the outer circumference of said space formed between said first disk and said second disk into said fluidized bed in a substantially uniform radially outward direction.
  • the lift gas may be any gaseous medium and the choice will depend on the process in which the invention is applied.
  • the lift gas may be for example steam or nitrogen.
  • an oxygen containing gas suitably air or oxygen-enriched air is used.
  • the solids will be catalyst suitably be conventional FCC catalyst as for example described in "Fluid catalytic cracking: Science and Technology", Ed. Magee J.S., Mitchell M.M.Jr., 1993, Elsevier Science
