The commercial application experiments on this promoter were conducted in the #3 RFCCU at Dalian Petrochemical Co. and #1 integrated refining unit at Shanghai Petro- chemical Co. The test results have shown that after adding 5%—6% of the promoter LCC-A to the main FCC catalyst the propylene yield and selectivity were raised obviously. The octane rating of FCC gasoline was increased by more than one unit; which could alleviate the negative impact of octane number decline resulted from reduction of olefin content in FCC naphtha along with an increased propylene yield to meet the urgent market demand for propylene. The test results achieved at Shanghai Petrochemical Company have revealed that when the addition of the LCC-A promoter reached 5% of the catalyst inventory, its performance could be on a par with that of the overseas promoter OlefinsMax.展开更多

The energy consumption of the RFCC unit was gradually decreased to 2984.25 MJ/t from the original level of 3716.99 MJ/t. After comparing basic energy con- sumption values with actual consumption values, the authors have set forward measures for further energy conservation, such as the recovery of low-temperature excess heat contained in oil/gas streams exiting from the fractionation tower top, addition of the fourth cyclone, delivery of hot oil slurry, and heat tracing with hot water.展开更多

The ...Currently the catalytic reforming units are playing an increasingly important role for gasoline quality upgrading, increased production of high add-value aromatic compounds and supply of cheap hydrogen resources. The high proportion of FCC gasoline in China＇s automotive gasoline pool has led to a quite significant gap in gasoline quality as compared to the demand of World Fuel Charter and even to the new Chinese standards for unleaded automotive gasoline. According to the statistical data, the ratio of FCC naphtha in the gasoline pool is 35% in the US and 27% in EU, whereas that number is 75% in China＇s gasoline pool. The share of reformate and other high-quality gasoline components in the gasoline pool is 65% in the US and 73% in EU, whereas that number is merely 14% in China＇s gasoline pool along with a definite share of low-octane （straight-run） gasoline.展开更多

The temperature of calcination and the proportion of phospho-molybdic acid in the catalyst were studied. The catalytic activity for olefins removal and the service life of the catalyst were tested in a fixed bed microreactor. The results showed that the catalyst containing 3% phospho-molybdic acid, which was calcined at 550℃, demonstrated the best activity for olefins removal. The catalyst could be regenerated and could perform still very well. Catalyst characterization was performed by XRD and measured by pyridine-FTIR spectrometry. The test results indicated that the activity of the catalyst was related with the effect of acid concentration and acid strength. Besides, the deactivation of the catalyst was associated with the formation of coke deposits and the deactivated catalyst could recover its activity by oxidation with air under a proper temperature.展开更多

Since the environmental regulations are increasingly strin gent than ever, the production of clean automobile fuel is a vital target in China, especially after China has become a WTO member. However, the sulfur content in gasoline pool of China is still very high. Over 95% of the sulfur in gaso line pool comes from FCC naphtha. It is necessary to remove sulfur in FCC naphtha.展开更多

Test results have revealed that the density change in the fluidized bed equipped with grid internals is relatively homogeneous and the bubbling fre- quency is obviously reduced with apparent improvements in the dead fluidized zone adjacent to the regen- erator wall, and this device can be applied to the intensified regeneration of catalyst in the FCC regenerator. The commercial application of this device in a 0.8 Mt/a RFCCU at the refinery A had indicated that the carbon content of regenerated catalyst was reduced to 0.03% from 0.18%, and the amount of coke burned was increased by 5% with a definite reduction in main air consumption of the regenerator and some density reduction in the dilute phase section of the regenerator.展开更多

The catalytic performances of Co-Mo/CNTs catalysts were evaluated with a mixture of cyclohexane, diisobutylene, cyclohexene, 1-octene （60 ： 30 ： 5 ： 5, volume ratio） and thiophene （0.5%, ratio of total weight） as model compounds to simulate FCC gasoline. The HDS experimental results suggested that the HDS activity and selectivity of Co-Mo/CNTs catalysts were affected by Co/Mo ratio; the optimal Co/Mo atomic ratio is about 0.4, and the optimum reaction temperature is 260 ℃. The in situ FT-IR studies revealed that 1-octene can be completely saturated at 200 ℃. In the FT-IR spectra of diisobutylene, the characteristic absorption peak around 3081 cm^-1 for the stretching vibration peak of =C-H bond was still clear at 320 ℃ indicating that diisobutylene is difficult to be hydrogenated. As for the thiophene, no characteristic absorption peak could be found around 3092 cm^-1 and 835 cm^-1 when the reaction temperature was raised to 280 ℃, indicating that thiophene had been completely hydrodesulfurized. On the basis of FT-IR results, it can be deduced that thiophene HDS reaction occurred mainly through direct hydrogenolysis route, whereas thiophene HDS and diisobutylene hydrogenation reaction over Co-Mo/CNTs catalysts might occur on two different kinds of active sites.展开更多

Results of operation over two months had revealed that this catalyst had good olefin-reducing ability and heavy oil converting ability adapted to paraffinic feedstock. The gasoline olefin yield had been reduced to 36.1 v% from 54.2 v% with gasoline RON rating decreased by 1.4 units. The induction period of gasoline had significantly increased to 952 mm, while the coke yield was increased by 0.05 percentage point with light oil yield dropping by only 0.02 percentage point. The FCC product distribution is favorable.展开更多

The concentration of olefins in the gasoline is strictly limited by the related environmental regulations. The olefins contained in the gasoline used as the feed could be cracked into light olefins to slash the olefin concentration in the gasoline to yield more propylene at the same time. The monolithic catalyst washcoated on the modified ZSM-5 zeolite was used in the experiments. The effect of the temperature, the Si/Al ratio in ZSM-5 and the addition of the rare earth elements on the selectivities and the yields of the light olefins were studied. The high yields of propylene and butene could be obtained under the experimental conditions of a higher temperature and Si/Al ratio with the addition of rare earth elements.展开更多
