The pressure faced currently by the oil refining industry in terms of resources avalibility and environmental regulations was analyzed. The key elements associated with the refining industry restructuring to economize on all kinds of resources were discussed and presented. It is stated that the key for building an energy and materials saving oil refining industry should rely on the adoption of advanced process and engineering technology, adjustment of refinery configuration, improving the energy and resources utilization efficiency, deep processing of crude oils, optimizing all kinds of resources, reducing effluents by saving water, as well as boosting the integration of oil refining with chemical production, concentrated disposition and realization of large scale of process units.

This article also suggests that the trend for future development of global refining industry is focused on the economy of scale for the refineries and the oil processing units, the refining structure readjustment, integration of the oil refining and chemical production and formation of oil refining bases. The oil refining industry will uninterruptedly rectify its industry allocation and processing unit configuration and strive for the reduction of production cost through technical progress and management innovations to reduce the production cost, boost the profitability and sharpen the market competitive edge.

The long-cycle, safe and smooth operation of process units were guaranteed after selection of optimal processing routes and adoption of a series of technical measures.

Test results had revealed that the low potential aromatic content of the reformer feed and high operating severity were the critical causes leading to high bromine number of the C_8~+ aromatics feed for the PX unit and the shortened service life of clay. This article also puts forward the corresponding remedial measures.

The outcome of the unit operating according to the MIP mode has revealed that the olefin content in the stabilized gasoline could be reduced to less than 35 % with its research octane number equivalent to and its motor octane number slightly higher than the octane rating of the FCC naphtha obtained by the former operational mode of the RFCC unit, and the diesel yield could reach over 30 m%. The total liquid yield (LPG+gasoline+diesel) of the unit operating according to the MIP mode was by over 1.5 percentage points higher than that achieved in the former RFCC unit.
查看更多>>摘要:The ZHC-01 hydrocracking catalyst, characterized by high hydrogenation activity, good selectivity for middle distillates, strong resistance to nitrogen poisoning, was prepared by co-gelling. The catalyst is not only suited to the single-stage hydrocracking process, but also to the first stage of serial hydrocracking process. In parallel with the fully loaded operation of the 1.4 Mt/a hydrocracking unit at the SINOPEC Qilu Petrochemical Company, a pilot test of the ZHC-01 catalyst was also carried out on the hydrocracking unit. The test results indicated that the activity, the yield of major target products and quality of the ZHC-01 catalyst could comply with the design requirements for the hydrocracking unit, and this catalyst could be applied in the hydrocracking unit. The commercial test results showed that the ZHC-01 catalyst, featuring good activity, stability, and flexibility in production, not only could meet the demand for producing environmentally friendly middle distillates, but could also increase the resource of optimized steam cracking feedstock.

The cold model test data showed that the fluid distribution performance of the novel vapor-liquid distributor was evidently better than the traditional one. Commercial tests of the new distributor were carried out in the 300 kt/a gas oil hydrotreating reactor at SINOPEC Changling Branch Company, showing that the new vapor-liquid distributor could improve the fluid distribution, promote the hydrotreating efficiency and lead to better performance than the traditional one.

The zeolite samples before and after CP treating were analyzed and characterized by XRF, XRD, NMR, IR, BET and DTA. The results showed that, in comparison with the conventional ultra-stable zeolite DASY-0.0 prepared by the hydrothermal process, the CP-modified zeolite SOYO exhibited a higher relative crystallinity, a larger surface area and pore volume, a higher thermal stability and contained less amorphous non-framework Al.
