Background
Energy currently worldwide is derived primarily from fossil energy sources, with petroleum being the most prominent source of motor fuel. As the world economy continues to evolve, environmental regulations become more stringent requiring the production of large quantities of light, clean motor fuels, which require improvements and modifications to existing refinery technologies. The quality requirement of diesel oil as important motor fuel is higher and higher, and especially the content of sulfur, density, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and the like is strictly limited, and the hydrogenation modification technology of inferior diesel oil can greatly reduce the sulfur content and the aromatic hydrocarbon content of diesel oil products, and reduce the density, reduce the condensation point and improve the cetane number.
The diesel oil hydrogenation modification technology is the most important means for improving the quality of poor-quality diesel oil fractions and producing clean diesel oil, and the liquid-phase diesel oil hydrogenation technology can meet the requirement of producing clean diesel oil under the condition of greatly reducing energy consumption. US6213835 and US6428686 disclose a hydrogenation process of pre-dissolved hydrogen, CN104560132A discloses a continuous liquid phase diesel oil hydrotreating method, and CN104927902A discloses a diesel oil hydrotreating method, which focuses more on dissolving hydrogen in the diesel oil raw material, and these methods all dissolve hydrogen in the diesel oil raw material to carry out hydrogenation reaction, and do not utilize the residual hydrogen of the reaction, and directly treat it additionally after separation.
Refinery gases generally include dry gases, liquefied gases, and the like, and have various paths for their use. The main application comprises that dry gas is hydrogenated and then used as a raw material for preparing ethylene by steam cracking, liquefied gas is hydrogenated and then used as a raw material for preparing ethylene by steam cracking, a raw material for synthesizing maleic anhydride, liquefied gas for vehicles and the like. In the existing refinery gas hydrogenation technology, CN201410271572.3 discloses a coking dry gas hydrogenation catalyst and a catalyst grading method. The method only solves the problem of controlling the reaction temperature during the hydrogenation of the coking dry gas, but the temperature rise in the reaction process is large. CN201010221244.4 discloses a method for preparing ethylene cracking material by hydrogenation of liquefied petroleum gas, which comprises two reactors, a cooling facility is arranged between the reactors, and CN201310628425.2 discloses a high-temperature hydrogenation purification process of liquefied petroleum gas, wherein olefin saturation and hydrogenation are performed by hydrogenation to remove impurities. As is well known, the hydrogenation reaction of unsaturated hydrocarbons such as olefin, diene, alkyne and the like is a strong exothermic reaction, the temperature rise in the gas hydrogenation process is very large, generally 100-200 ℃, the balance of the hydrogenation reaction is damaged along with the temperature rise, and the generation of carbon deposition is seriously increased, so that the service cycle of the catalyst is reduced.
CN201010221263.7 discloses a liquefied petroleum gas-coker gasoline hydrogenation combination process method, which is a combination method, but not a liquid phase hydrogenation method, the coker gasoline is firstly mixed with hydrogen to carry out fixed bed hydrogenation reaction, and a hydrogenation product and liquefied gas are mixed and enter another reactor, so that the problem of hydrogenation temperature rise of the liquefied gas is only solved.
In summary, in the prior art, the hydrotreating process of refinery gas is a gas phase reaction, the diesel hydrogenation is a liquid phase reaction, and the reaction types of the two are completely different, so the combined method of the refinery gas hydrotreating and the diesel liquid phase hydrogenation modification is rarely reported.

In the above method, one or more catalyst beds, preferably 2 to 8 catalyst beds, may be provided in the make-up hydrogenation reactor. If only one catalyst bed layer is arranged in the supplementary hydrogenation reactor, the liquid-phase hydrogenation reaction material flow is mixed with the refinery gas in the gas dissolver and then enters the top of the supplementary hydrogenation reactor and passes through the catalyst bed layer; if a plurality of catalyst beds are arranged in the supplementary hydrogenation reactor, a gas dissolving device is arranged between the beds, refinery gas and hydrogen are mixed and then enter any gas dissolving device arranged between adjacent catalyst beds, and are mixed with reactant flow from the previous catalyst bed and then enter the next catalyst bed for reaction.

In the above method, the gas separator used for gas separation is a conventional separator. The gas obtained by separation in the high-pressure separator and the gas obtained by separation in the low-pressure separator are mixed, hydrogen sulfide is removed, then hydrogen, dry gas, liquefied gas and the like are obtained by separation in the gas separator, and if liquid products exist, the gas directly enters a stripping tower and/or a fractionating tower.
In the process of gas hydrogenation, the temperature rise of a catalyst bed layer is large due to large reaction heat release, so that the temperature range of the hydrogenation reaction is large, the effect of the hydrogenation reaction is influenced, the generation of carbon deposition of the catalyst is accelerated, and the service cycle of the catalyst is shortened. In the diesel oil liquid phase hydrogenation modification process, hydrogenation reaction is realized through hydrogen dissolved in oil, and the purpose of producing clean diesel oil products is achieved, but the dissolved hydrogen is excessive and cannot be completely reacted, and the hydrogen dissolved in the hydrogenated oil after the reaction is completed can usually remain 20% -70% of the dissolved hydrogen, so that the hydrogen is not used effectively, namely, the energy consumption is increased.
According to the invention, by fully utilizing the characteristic that a large amount of hydrogen is still dissolved in the oil generated by the diesel liquid-phase circulation hydrogenation modification process, a supplementary hydrogenation reactor is arranged in the subsequent stage of the diesel hydrogenation reactor, the refinery gas raw material is dissolved in the diesel hydrogenation reactant flow and enters the catalyst bed layer of the supplementary hydrogenation reactor, and the hydrogenation reaction of the gas is completed by utilizing the dissolved hydrogen and the catalyst atmosphere, so that the problem of large gas hydrogenation temperature rise is solved, and the hydrogen dissolved in the diesel is used for the gas hydrogenation reaction, thereby reducing the hydrogen consumption; or a plurality of catalyst beds are arranged in a further supplementary hydrogenation reactor, part of dry gas or all dry gas raw materials in the mixed gas and diesel oil hydrogenation generated oil are mixed and enter the first catalyst bed, and the rest gas and/or hydrogen gas mixed mixture enters the subsequent catalyst bed, so that the hydrogen consumption is low, the dry gas which is easiest to react firstly carries out hydrogenation reaction, then liquefied gas with slightly higher hydrogen consumption enters the subsequent catalyst bed for reaction, and the liquefied gas is supplemented and enters the inlet of the subsequent catalyst bed when the hydrogen gas is required to be supplemented; the hydroupgrading reactant flow continuously passes through the supplementary hydrorefining catalyst bed layer, so that the unsaturated hydrocarbon generated by hydroupgrading can be subjected to supplementary hydrorefining reaction, the post-refining catalyst in the hydroupgrading reactor can be saved, or the quality of diesel oil is further improved. The combination method is characterized in that the gas hydrogenation process is completed on the premise of not influencing the quality of the diesel oil product or further improving the quality of the diesel oil product to obtain the diesel oil product and the gas product, and the two technologies are optimally combined, so that the hydrogen dissolved in the diesel oil product is reduced, namely, the hydrogen consumption and the energy consumption are reduced, the equipment investment is saved, and the operation cost is reduced.
