PRACTICE OF 4.0 Mt/a HYDROCRACKER FOR INCREASING HEAVY NAPHTHA PRODUCTION USING NAPHTHENE-BASE FEED
;The 4.0 Mt/a hydrocracker of CNOOC Huizhou Petrochemical Company Limited was modified by using RN-410C/RHC-210/RHC-220 graded catalysts and fractionation system revamping to upgrade the production of high-quality chemical feedstocks.The calibration results show that using the VGO feedstock,blended with 20.16%of CGO,with the nitrogen mass fraction of 0.184 6%and a density(20 ℃)of 0.910 g/cm3,under the conditions of an inlet pressure of 15.18 MPa,an average hydrotreating temperature of 385.6 ℃ and average hydrocracking temperature of 389.3 ℃,the hydrogen consumption is 2.98%,heavy naphtha yield is 35.23%,and tail oil yield is 10.69%.The naphtha,jet fuel,and diesel products can meet the specification requirements.The smoke point of jet fuel can reach 30 mm,the cetane index of diesel with 1%of polycyclic aromatics,can reach 72.3,and the BMCI value of tail oil is 12.The energy consumption of the unit is 21.91 kgEO/t(1 kgOE=41.8 MJ),reaching the advanced level of similar units.The selectivity of heavy naphtha increased from 77.3%in the previous cycle to 84.2%in this cycle,indicating a significant effect of catalyst gradation and reaction zone regulation.
