Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of petrochemical industry, in particular to a coke tower and a delayed coking method by utilizing the coke tower.

Background

The heavy oil processing technology can be divided into two types, one is hydrogenation, the other is decarburization, and the delayed coking process has the advantages of strong raw material adaptability, simple process flow, relatively mature technology, low device investment and the like, and becomes one of the important means for deep processing of the heavy oil. The relatively mature delayed coking technologies abroad are represented by the technologies of Foster Wheeler/UOP company, Conoco-Phillips company, ABB Lummus Crest company and KBR company, and most of the delayed coking devices abroad adopt the patent technologies of the companies. The domestic delayed coking technology is mainly developed by China petrochemicals, and comprises patent technologies of petrochemical engineering Research Institute (RIPP), China petrochemical engineering construction Inc. (SEI), China petrochemical industry Luoyang engineering Inc. (LPEC) and China petrochemical industry engineering (group) corporation Luoyang technology research and development center (SEGR), and colleges and research institutions such as China Petroleum university (east China) also develop some new technologies.

In the delayed coking process, the coking material heated to 450 deg.c in the heating furnace enters the coke tower and produces violent cracking and condensation reaction to produce great amount of oil gas and coke. During the reaction of the coking raw material, a lot of high-viscosity colloid asphalt-like substances are generated, and the colloid asphalt-like substances are continuously foamed and broken in a coke tower under the agitation of oil gas to form a stable foam layer. As the feed and reaction times increase, the coke drum head level continues to rise and the foam layer grows. Because the gas velocity in the coke tower is higher, when the coke layer in the coke tower rises to a certain height in the coking later stage, a large amount of coke powder contained in the foam layer can be carried by oil gas and enter a large oil-gas pipeline and a fractionating tower, so that the large oil-gas pipeline and the fractionating tower are coked. Further causing the blockage of a circulating filter at the bottom of the fractionating tower, a feeding filter at the radiation section and a feeding pump, coking of a furnace tube and influence on the safe production of the device. Therefore, to reduce the adverse effects of coke fines entrainment, a sufficient height of space must be left in the coke drum, which reduces the utilization of the coke drum. In order to reduce the adverse effect of the foam layer of the coke tower, a plurality of patent technologies are proposed at home and abroad to solve the problems, such as the problem that the entrainment of oil gas coke powder is reduced or reduced by adding an antifoaming agent to a delayed coking device which is commonly adopted in the industry at present.

In summary, in order to reduce the height of the foam layer in the coke drum, technicians mostly adopt methods such as adding a defoaming agent into the coke drum and arranging mechanical defoaming equipment, and the methods have certain effects on reducing the height of the foam layer of the delayed coking device, but have advantages and disadvantages.

In view of this, the invention is particularly proposed.

Disclosure of Invention

The present invention is directed to overcoming the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art and to providing a coke drum and a delayed coking method using the same.

The invention is realized by the following steps:

In the delayed coking production process, the coking oil undergoes violent thermal reaction in the coking tower to generate a large amount of oil gas and coke. In the coking process, many of the intermediates are high viscosity colloidal asphaltic materials that, under the agitation of oil and gas, will form a stable foam layer within the coking drum. As feed and reaction times increase, the coke drum level continues to rise and the foam layer grows. Entrainment occurs when the foam layer is high due to the high gas velocity in the coking drum. At this point, the coke fines in the froth layer can be carried over into the large gas line and the fractionator, causing coking in the large gas line and the fractionator. Therefore, in order to reduce the adverse effects of fines entrainment, sufficient space height must be left in the coke drum, which reduces the coke drum utilization.

At present, technicians mostly adopt methods of adding a defoaming agent into a coke tower, arranging mechanical defoaming equipment and the like, and the methods have certain effects on reducing the height of a foam layer of a delayed coking device, but have various advantages and disadvantages, such as the fact that the defoaming agent needs to be added at regular time, and the overall economy and stability of the delayed coking device are improved to a certain extent. However, silicon-containing defoaming agents cause catalyst poisoning of downstream hydrogenation units, while non-silicon polyase composite defoaming agents have a certain defoaming effect, but are complex in raw material composition and high in cost. Set up the adverse effect that the defoaming agent added can not appear in mechanical defoaming equipment, but the inspiratory high temperature oil gas of centrifugal defoamer and coke powder easily coke on centrifugal defoamer and impeller, when this equipment breaks down or mechanical parts damages, overhauls the difficulty, influences the normal production of device.
