Definitions
- the present invention is directed toward a process for converting atmospheric tower bottoms products, vacuum tower bottoms products (vacuum residuum), crude oil residuum, topped crude oils, crude oils extracted from tar sands, etc., all of which are commonly referred to as black oils, and which contain a significant quantity of asphaltic material and high concentrations of sulfur.
- Petroleum crude oils particularly heavy oils extracted from tar sands, topped or reduced crudes, and vacuum residuum, contain high molecular weight sulfurous compounds in exceedingly large quantities, nitrogenous compounds, high molecular weight organo-metallic complexes containing principally nickel and vanadium as the metal component, and heptane-insoluble asphaltic material:
- the latter is generally found to be complexed with, or linked to, sulfur and, to a certain extent, with metallic contaminants.
- black oils differ considerably from heavy gas oils which are not so severely contaminated, and which normally do not have as high a boiling range.
- a black oil can be characterized as a heavy hydrocarbonaceous material of which more than 10.0% (by volume) boils above a temperature of 1050 F., having a gravity, API at 60 F., of less than 20.0. Sulfur concentrations are exceedingly high, more than 1.0% by Weight, and are often in excess of 3.0% by weight. Conradson Carbon Residue factors exceed 1.0 Weight percent, and a great proportion of black oils exhibit a Conradson Carbon Residue factor above 10.0. There exists currently an abundant supply of such hydrocarbonaceous material, most of which has a gravity less than 10.0 API a't 60 F., and which is characterized by a boiling range indicating that 30.0% or more boils above a temperature of about 1050 F.
- the process encompassed by the present invention is particularly directed toward the catalytic conversion of black oils into distillable hydrocarbons in yields which may be as high as 80.0% by volume, and sometimes higher.
- Specific examples of the crude oils to which the present scheme is uniquely adaptable include a vacuum tower bottoms product having a gravity of 7.1 API at 60 F., and containing 4.05% by weight of sulfur arid 23.7% by Weight of rasphalts; a topped Middle-East Kuwait cnude oil, having a gravity of 11.0 API and containing 10.1% by weight of asphalts and 5.2% by weight of sulfur; a vacuum residuum having a gravity of 8.8*API and containing 3.0% sulfur and 4300 p.p.m.
- the present invention affords the conversion of up to 80.0% by volume of such material into distillable hydrocarbons, heretofore having been considered impossible to achieve, especially on an economically feasible basis.
- the principal difficulty resides in the lack of sulfur stability of many catalytic composites employed in current processes, and primarily from the presence of large quantities of asphaltic material and other non-distillables.
- This asphaltic material comprises high molecular weight coke precursors, insoluble in pentane and/ or heptane, and which are usually complexed with nitrogen, metals and especially sulfur.
- the asphaltic material is found to be dispersed within the black oil, and when subjected to heat, as in a Vacuum distillation process, has the tendency to fiocculate and polymerize whereby the conversion thereof to more valuable oil-insoluble products becomes extremely difficult.
- the heavy bottoms from a crude oil vacuum distillation column indicates a Conradson Carbon Residue factor of 16.0% by Weight.
- Such a material is generally useful only as road asphalt, or as an extremely low grade fuel when cut-back with distillate hydrocarbons such as kerosene, light gas oil. etc.
- liquid-phase hydrogenation in the catalytic processing of such hydrocarbonaceous material, two principal approaches have been advanced: liquid-phase hydrogenation and vaporphase hydrocracking.
- liquid phase oil is passed upwardly, in admixture with hydrogen into a fixed-bed or slurry of sub-divided catalyst; although perhaps effective in removing at least a portion of the organo-metallic complexes, this type process is relatively ineffective with respect to insoluble asphalts which are dispersed within the charge, with the consequence that the probability of effecting simultaneous contact between the catalyst particle and the asphaltic material in the presence of sufficient hydrogen is remote.
- the reaction zone is generally maintained at an elevated temperature of at least about 500 C.
- the present invention embodies a method whereby the asphaltic material is maintained in a dispersed state in a liquid phase which is rich in hydrogen.
- This material comes into intimate contact with a catalyst which is capable of effecting reaction between the hydrogen and asphaltic material; the liquid phase is itself dispersed in a hydrogen-rich gas phase so that the dissolved hydrogen is continually replenished.
- This two-fold dispersion and rapid, intimate contacting with the catalytic surfaces overcomes the difficulties encountered in previous processes whereby excessive residence times and depletion of localized hydrogen supply permit agglomeration of asphaltics and other high molecular weight species.
- Such agglomerates are even less available to hydrogen, and are not, therefore, susceptible to catalytic reaction. They eventually form coke which becomes deposited on the catalyst,
- the principal object of the present invention is to provide an economically feasible catalytic process for the desulfurization and conversion of black oils into distillable hydrocarbons for lower molecular weight and boiling range.
- the practice of the present process results in a distillable hydrocarbon product in an amount of about 80.0% by volume of the black oil charge stock.
- Another object is to convert heavy hydrocarbon charge stocks, a significant amount of which exhibits a boiling range above a temperature of 1050 F.-i.e. at least about 10.0% boils above this temperature, and often more than 30.0%-into lower-boiling distillable hydrocarbons.
- Another object of my invention is to provide a process for desulfurizing and converting black oils having a gravity, API at 60 F., less than about 20.0, and to produce distillable hydrocarbons boiling below 800 F. from charge stocks, or select portions thereof having a cAPI gravity less than about 10.0.
- Another object is to effect the conversion and desulfurization of black oils with minimum yield loss to asphalt and/ or residuum.
- the present invention affords a process for the conversion of a hydrocarbon charge stock, of which at least about 10.0% by volume boils above a temperature of about 1050 F., and which contains at least about 1.0% by weight of sulfur, into lower boiling distillable hydrocarbon products, which process comprises the steps of: (a) separating said charge stock, in a first separation zone, into a light fraction having'an end boiling point of from about 650 F. to about 850 F.
- this hot separator is also employed to separate the heavy oil as a liquid phase from a vapor phase containing lighter hydrocarbons, hydrogen and water.
- This hot separator is maintained at essentially the same pressure as the reaction Zone and at essentially the temperature of the reaction zone effluent; as set forth, in a preferred embodiment, the temperature is controlled in the range of about 700 F. to about 750 F.
- a second hot flash zone functions at a significantly reduced pressure of from subatmospheric to about p.s.i.g., and may comprise a low-pressure ash zonei.e. about 60 p.s.i.g.-in Vcombination with a vacuum column maintained at about 50-60 mm. of Hg absolute.
- the hot flash system serves to eliminate further the diticulties stemming from emulsification problems by providing a residuum fraction containing the unconverted asphaltics and a significant amount of those sulfurous compounds not converted in the first reaction zone. Fur-y thermore, subsequent separations aud/ or distillations are greatly simplified.
- a pressure substantially the same as, or -a temperature substantially the same as, is intended to connote the pressure or temperature on a downstream vessel, allowing only for the normal pressure drop due to fluid ow, and the normal temperature loss due to transfer of material from one zone to another.
- the iirst'separation zone (hot separator) will function at a pressure of about 2530 p.s.i.g.; as previously set forth, it is preferred to quench this stream to about 750 F.
- the second separation zone will function at a significantly reduced pressure less than 100 p.s.i.g., but at a temperature of about 750 F., subject to temperature loss due to flash evapora tion at constant enthalpy.
- a black oil is intended to connote a hydrocarbonaceous mixture of which at least about 10.0% boils above a temperature of about 1050 F., and which contains more than 1.0% by weight of sulfur; and, distillable hydrocarbons are those normally liquid hydrocarbons, including pentanes, having boiling points below about 1050 F.
- distillable hydrocarbons are those normally liquid hydrocarbons, including pentanes, having boiling points below about 1050 F.
- Many of the black oils which may be desulfurized and converted by the process of this invention, are considered completely non-distillable-i.e. the total liquid boils above 1050 F. Still others are those of which from 10.0% to 60.0% by volume boils above 1050 F.
- Conversion conditions are intended to be Vthose conditions imposed upon the conversion Zone to convert a substantial portion of the black oil linto distillable hydrocarbons.
- the rst conversion zone conditions are intended to include temperatures above about 700 F., with an upper limit of about 800 F., as measured at the inlet to the catalyst bed. Since the bulk of the reactions being effected are exothermic, the reaction zone eil'luent will be at a higher temperature. In order that catalyst stability be preserved, it is preferred to control the inlet temperature such that the effluent temperature does no exceed a maximum limit of about 900 F.
- Hydrogen is admixed with the black oil charge stock by way of compressive recycle, in an amount generally less than about 10,000 s.c.f./bbl., at the selected operating pressure, and preferably in an amount of from about 3000 to about 6000 scf/bbl.

- hydrogen is employed in admixture with the charge stock, and preferably in an amount of from about 3000 to about 6000 s.c.f./bbl.
- the hydrogen-containing gas stream herein sometimes designated as recycle hydrogen, since it is conveniently recycled externally of the conversion zone, ful-fills a number of various functions: it serves as a hydrogenating agent, a heat carrier, and particularly a means for stripping converted material from the catalytic composite, thereby creating still more catalytically active sites available for the incoming, unconverted hydrocarbon charge stock. Since some hydrogenation will be effected, there will be a net consumption of hydrogen; to supplement this, hydrogen is added to the system from any suitable external source.
- the catalytic composite disposed within the yfirst reaction zone can be characterized as comprising a metallic component having hydrogenation activity, which component is composited with a refractory inorganic oxide carrier material of either synthetic or natural origin.

- the metallic components of Group VLB are preferably present in amounts within the range of about 1.0% to about 2.0% by Weight, the iron-group metals in an amount within the range of about 0.2% to about 10.0% by weight, whereas the platinum-group metals are preferably present in an amount within the range of about 0.1% to about 5.0% by weight, all of which are calculated as if the components existed within the finished catalytic composite as the elemental metal.
- the refractory inorganic oxide carrier material may comprise alumina, silica, zirconia, magnesia, titania, boria, strontia, hafnia, etc., and mixtures of two or more including silica-alumina, silica-zirconia, silica-magnesia, silica-titania, alumina-zirconia, silica-alumina-boron phosphate, alumina-magnesia, alumina-titania, magnesia-zirconia, titania-zirconia, magnesia-titania, silica-aluminazirconia, silica-alumina-magnesia, silica-alumina-titania, silica-magnesia-zirconia, silica-alumina-boria, etc. It is preferred to utilize a carrier material containing at least a portion of silica, and preferably a composite of alumina
