摘要:
A residuum feedstock is upgraded in a short vapor contact time thermal process unit (11) comprised of a horizontal moving bed of fluidized hot particles and is then fed to a fluid catalytic cracking reactor (17). Hot flue gases from the fluid catalytic cracking regenerator (27) are used to circulate solid particles and to provide process heat to the thermal process unit (11).
摘要:
The present invention is directed to the upgrading of heavy hydrocarbon feedstock that utilizes a short residence pyrolytic reactor operating under conditions that cracks and chemically upgrades the feedstock. The process of the present invention provides for the preparation of a partially upgraded feedstock exhibiting reduced viscosity and increased API gravity. This process selectively removes metals, salts, water and nitrogen from the feedstock, while at the same time maximizes the yield of the liquid product, and minimizes coke and gas production. Furthermore, this process reduces the viscosity of the feedstock in order to permit pipeline transport, if desired, of the upgraded feedstock with little or no addition of diluents. The method for upgrading a heavy hydrocarbon feedstock comprises introducing a particulate heat carrier into an upflow reactor, introducing the heavy hydrocarbon feedstock into the upflow reactor at a location above that of the particulate heat carrier so that a loading ratio of the particulate heat carrier to feedstock is from about 15:1 to about 200:1, allowing the heavy hydrocarbon feedstock to interact with the heat carrier with a residence time of less than about 1 second, to produce a product stream, separating the product stream from the particulate heat carrier, regenerating the particulate heat carrier, and collecting a gaseous and liquid product from the product stream.

A two-stage process for obtaining a substantial amount of olefinic product from a residua feedstock includes a first stage and a second stage. The first stage, having a short residence time, includes a thermal process unit containing a reaction zone (1) comprised of a horizontal moving bed of fluidized hot particles (15) which is operated at a temperature of 500-600 degrees Celsius. The second stage thermal conversion zone (2), also having a reduced residence time, is operated at a temperature of 700-1100 degrees Celsius.
摘要:
Methods for converting by vapor-cracking at high temperature and in the presence of a diluted fluidized phase of essentially heat-conveying particles, on the one hand at least one light hydrocarbon charge which is little contaminated by metals and of which the boiling temperature is lower than 400 °C approximately and, on the other hand a heavier hydrocarbon charge essentially comprised of compounds of which the boiling temperature is higher than 400 °C approximately. According to the invention, the heavier hydrocarbon charge is injected between the step for the separation of the particles and the hydrocarbons issued from vapor-cracking and the step of fractionation of said hydrocarbons. Part of the rest of the distillation of hydrocarbons issued from vapor-cracking is injected in the downstream portion of the reactor.

摘要:
A fluid coking unit for converting a heavy oil feed to lower boiling products by thermal has a centrally-apertured annular baffle at the top of the stripping zone below the coking zone to inhibit recirculation of solid particles from the stripping zone to the coking zone. By inhibiting recirculation of the particles from the stripping zone to the coking zone, the temperatures of the two zones are effectively decoupled, enabling the coking zone to be run at a lower temperature than the stripping zone to increase the yield of liquid products.
