Description

Slurry bed reactor and reaction system for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis
Technical Field
The invention relates to a Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactor, in particular to a slurry bed reactor for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and a reaction system.
Background
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS for short) is a catalytic reaction that utilizes a catalyst of a group VIII metal (e.g., iron, cobalt) to convert synthesis gas (carbon monoxide and hydrogen) to Fischer-Tropsch products (primarily hydrocarbons, including aldonic ketones, etc.). Fischer-Tropsch synthesis reactors are key equipment for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis processes, and currently there are mainly two forms of fixed beds and slurry beds. The traditional fixed bed reactor has the defects of difficult temperature control, easy carbon formation of the catalyst and higher operation cost although the process is simple. The slurry bed reactor not only overcomes the defects, but also has the advantages of sufficient mixing of gas, liquid and solid phases and excellent mass and heat transfer effect, and is widely valued and applied.
The commercial use of fischer-tropsch slurry bed reactors has been a very long history, as early as the first semi-commercial demonstration of the device was built by the company Rheinpreussen germany 1953, but the device did not continue to scale up industrially due to the now international energy demand being shifted from coal to oil. The Sasol company in south Africa starts the development of the slurry bed Fischer-Tropsch reactor in the 80 th year of the 20 th century on the basis of the German slurry bed reactor, a 75-barrel/day pilot plant is built in Sasolburg in 1990, and an industrial reactor with the diameter of 5 meters and 2500 barrels/day is built in 1996, so that the Sasol company becomes the first company in the world for realizing the industrialization of the slurry bed reactor. In addition, U.S. Exoon, rentech, syntroleum has conducted research and development efforts on slurry bed Fischer-Tropsch reactors.
The core of the Fischer-Tropsch slurry bed reactor and the development of a matched system is to provide a good reaction environment and an effective product-catalyst separation method, and the related technical background is as follows:
1. Gas distributor: the experiments of R.Schafer, et al (Bubble size distributions in a bubble column reactor under industrial conditions.Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science,2002,26:595-604) show that the form of the gas distributor has great influence on the distribution of slurry beds, particularly bubbles below the penetration height, and the good gas distribution effect has important significance for preventing the bottom of a reaction zone from being excessively mild and the distributor from being blocked. Patent CN1283349C discloses a slurry bed reactor employing a nozzle and a secondary distribution plate, the nozzle outlet has a spherical device for preventing slurry backflow, so as to solve the problems of blockage of the distributor and uneven gas distribution. The main problems are that the distributor is complex in structure and difficult to maintain, and the nozzles are easy to be blocked when the system is stopped.
2. False bottom: patent CN1233454C discloses a false bottom design with riser, the distance between the false bottom and the gas distributor is small, the catalyst is not easy to deposit at the bottom of the reactor, and the problem of local overheating caused by the false bottom is avoided. The main problem is that the opening of the false bottom affects the mechanical strength of the false bottom.
3. Heat transfer device: marretto and Krishna(Design and optimization of a multi-stage bubble column slurry reactor for Fischer-Tropsch.Catalysis Today,2001,66:241-248) propose a tubular heat exchanger for a fischer-tropsch slurry bed reactor consisting of two plenums and a tube bundle of tubes connected thereto, boiler feed water flowing down the center of the tubes and back up the peripheral annular zone. Patent CN100522335C discloses a cooling tube apparatus for a fischer-tropsch synthesis reactor, the cooler being composed of a plurality of tube bundle assemblies and lumped tubes connected thereto, each tube bundle assembly being composed of 4 or 6 tubes and two plenums connected thereto, the design being capable of simplifying the removal and reinstallation of the cooling tubes. Due to the structural characteristics of the cooler, the heat exchange tubes in the reactor are low in arrangement density, and the heat exchange capacity of the cooler is limited under the conditions of high catalyst concentration or emergency.
4. And a down-comer. Patent US6201031 discloses a slurry bed reactor with a downcomer, and proposes the working principle of the downcomer and the calculation method of the slurry conveying quantity. The industrial test results disclosed in patent US5382748 show that the downcomer has a significant improvement in the axial concentration distribution and temperature distribution of the catalyst. However, the above patent does not mention critical issues of downcomer size, placement, design principles, etc.
5. Liquid-solid separation device and filtration flushing subassembly. Patent CN1233453C discloses an automatic filtration/flushing device for liquid-solid separation of slurry bed reactor, which adopts a tube array structure and implements periodic filtration/flushing through a program-controlled valve installed on the main pipe.
6. Gas-solid washing separation device and washing subassembly. Patent US6265452 discloses a scheme for arranging a plurality of trays at the top of the reactor, above which reflux condensate is introduced to scrub the gas product, in order to reduce the catalyst content in the gas. The tower tray used in the design scheme is similar to the tower tray of the rectifying tower, is very easy to be blocked by the catalyst, and further influences the washing effect and the safety of the device.
As is known in the art, the fischer-tropsch reaction is very sensitive to temperature and gas-liquid-solid three-phase flow mixing, and the difficulty of product-catalyst separation is great. Optimizing the reactor design and product separation scheme can effectively improve the efficiency and stability of the Fischer-Tropsch slurry bed reactor. The prior art generally has the problems of poor mass and heat transfer effect in the reactor, complex product-catalyst separation method and the like.
Chinese patent CN1233451C discloses a gas-liquid-solid three-phase slurry-state industrial reactor capable of continuous operation, which comprises an inlet gas distribution component for uniformly distributing gas, one or more layers of heat exchange tube components for heating/cooling the bed, one or more layers of liquid-solid separator components capable of automatic cleaning, and an outlet dedusting and demister component for removing liquid foam and solid entrainment. However, the patent does not provide a depressurization tube, and therefore, the generation of dead zones and hot spots at the bottom of the bed cannot be avoided.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a slurry bed reactor and a reaction system which are suitable for the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis technology and are used for continuously producing Fischer-Tropsch synthesis products. Fischer-Tropsch products refer to hydrocarbons (carbon numbers in the range of 1 to 70 and even higher) and oxygenates (aldonic ketones), which are classified into liquid Fischer-Tropsch wax and gaseous hydrocarbon products, depending on the phase at the operating conditions.
The aim of the invention can be achieved by the following technical scheme:
A slurry bed reactor for fischer-tropsch synthesis comprising
The main body of the reactor is provided with a plurality of grooves,
A gas distributor arranged at the bottom of the reactor main body,
A plurality of groups of heat transfer devices arranged in the reactor main body and a downcomer matched with the heat transfer devices, a liquid-solid separation device is arranged between the two groups of heat transfer devices,
And the gas-solid washing and separating device is arranged at the top of the reactor.
The raw material gas is introduced into the reactor and mixed with Fischer-Tropsch wax and catalyst filled in the reactor, wherein the raw material gas refers to synthesis gas (carbon monoxide and hydrogen) produced by a gas production unit (such as coal gas, natural gas conversion and the like) or mixed gas of the synthesis gas and other process gases (such as non-condensable gas in gas products and the like). Under certain temperature and pressure conditions, carbon monoxide and hydrogen are converted into Fischer-Tropsch products on the surface of the catalyst and a large amount of heat is released. Specifically, the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis catalyst is one or a mixture of iron, cobalt and other VIII metal catalysts, and the average particle size is 40-150 mu m. The operating pressure is 1.0-5.0 MPaG, the operating temperature is 200-300 ℃, and the apparent gas velocity is 0.2-0.5 m/s.
The reactor main body is a vertical pressure vessel, and the diameter of the reactor is designed according to the inlet synthetic gas flow and apparent gas velocity, and is generally 0.5-15 m; the tangential height of the reactor comprises the height of the reaction zone, the size and the installation height of internal components such as a gas-solid washing and separating device, a false bottom and the like, and is generally 30-60 m.
A false bottom is arranged between the bottom end enclosure connected with the bottom of the reactor main body and the gas distributor, the false bottom is a round partition plate, a false bottom area isolated from the reaction area is formed by the false bottom and the bottom end enclosure, and a balance pipe is arranged between the false bottom area and the outlet of the reactor. The radian of the baffle plate is as small as possible, so that the effect of optimizing the gas distribution at the bottom of the reaction zone is achieved. The false bottom is flushed by the gas sprayed by the gas distributor, so that the dead bed area caused by too large radian of the bottom seal head (generally conical or ellipsoidal) can be effectively avoided. The distance between the false bottom and the nozzle outlet is 0.1-0.5 m, and the flushing speed is 30-80 m/s.
In order to ensure that the deformation of the false bottom and the sealing structure (such as a welding seam) at the joint of the false bottom and the shell is within an allowable range, a balance pipeline is arranged below the false bottom besides a supporting piece so that the pressure at two sides of the false bottom is in a balanced state. The support member can be one or a combination of two of a cross beam and a support post, and is fixed on the reactor cylinder or the bottom sealing head to support the vertical downward stress of the false bottom. The balance pipeline is connected with the inlet gas of the reactor generally, so that the pressure of the gas above and below the false bottom is kept the same, and the excessive deformation of the false bottom caused by the excessive pressure difference at the two sides of the false bottom is prevented.
The gas distributor can be a concentric circular or branch-shaped multi-pipe distributor, the main pipe is radially extended to the wall surface by taking the feeding pipe as the center of a circle, and the branch pipes uniformly cover the radial plane. The lower part of the distribution pipe is provided with nozzles which are vertically downward, and the distances between adjacent nozzles are similar or equal. Specifically, the aperture of the nozzle is 5-25 mm, the pressure drop is 0.02-0.1 MPa, and the linear velocity of the outlet is 50-100 m/s. In order to prevent slurry from flowing back into the gas distributor and catalyst from depositing at the bottom under the stop state, an emergency nitrogen pipeline connected with the feeding pipeline or the gas distributor is configured, and the emergency nitrogen pipeline is immediately led into the reactor when the feeding synthesis gas is interrupted, so that the apparent gas velocity in the reactor is kept to be not lower than the settling velocity of the catalyst particles with the maximum particle size, and is generally not lower than 0.1m/s. .
The heat transfer device consists of an inlet collecting pipe, an outlet collecting pipe and a plurality of groups of heat transfer coils which are connected in parallel, and 2-3 layers are arranged along the axial direction of the reactor. A heat transfer device comprises 2-4 pairs of inlet and outlet collecting pipes, wherein the form of the collecting pipes can be an arc pipe close to the wall surface of a reactor or a straight pipe penetrating into the center of the reactor in the radial direction. The heat transfer coil consists of 2-60 straight pipes connected in series through 180 deg elbow, and the inlet and outlet are connected to the inlet and outlet lumped pipes. The straight pipe form can also adopt special-shaped pipes such as corrugated pipes, finned pipes and the like besides the light pipe to enhance the wall surface heat exchange of the slurry side, and the length is 6-10 m. The number of straight pipes of each group of heat transfer coils is equal to ensure that the water flow of each group of boilers is uniformly distributed. If the tube side pressure drop of the collecting and collecting tube is larger than the pressure drop of a single cooling tube, the number of the cooling tubes of the heat transfer coil connected with the far end of the collecting and collecting tube is reduced. The temperature of the boiler water supply at the inlet of the heat transfer device is 20-80 ℃ lower than the temperature of the reaction zone in the reactor, the reaction heat is absorbed through convection-wall surface heat exchange, partial reaction is converted into saturated steam, and the gasification rate at the outlet is 0.05-0.25.
The downcomer is a special inner member for enhancing the gas-liquid-solid three-phase mixing, and the working principle is as follows: the gas-liquid-solid three-phase flow enters a sedimentation pipe with larger diameter in a bypass way, large bubbles continue to move upwards under the action of buoyancy, and the slurry is settled in the pipe under the action of gravity, so that a region with low gas content and high density is formed in the sedimentation pipe; the slurry with the large bubbles removed moves downwards under the action of gravity and flows to the area below the bed layer through the conveying pipe. The downward slurry flow in the down-flow pipe and the upward three-phase flow in the reaction zone form a fluid circulation loop, and the stirring effect is achieved. Generally, the diameter of the sedimentation tube of the downcomer is 0.2-1.5 m, the diameter of the delivery tube is 0.1-0.7 m, and the area of each layer of sedimentation tube accounts for 10-30% of the sectional area of the reaction zone.
In order to enhance the mixing of the slurry around the cooler and improve the convective heat transfer efficiency of the slurry side, the downcomer is used in combination with the heat transfer device to form a stirring zone around the heat transfer device. Because of the high center and low near wall of the bubble diameter and velocity in the reaction zone under the shearing force of the wall facing the three-phase flow, the downcomers should be uniformly arranged at the center and near wall positions of the reactor in order to make the radial distribution of the three-phase flow more uniform. Specifically, the downcomers are arranged in the axle center or symmetrically around the axle center, and the center distance between adjacent downcomers is 0.5-2 m.
The liquid-solid separation device is composed of 5-30 groups of filter components, and each group of filter components is composed of 5-30 filter elements, a filter collecting main pipe and a flushing collecting main pipe which are connected with the filter elements. The form of the filter element can be selected from sintered metal, porous ceramic and the like, the maximum particle size of the catalyst allowed to pass through is 10-40 mu m, and the catalyst content in the filtered slurry is less than 100ppm. The filtered fischer-tropsch wax entrains a significant amount of gaseous product and synthesis gas and in order to prevent air lock, filtrate is led out of the filter element from above into the filter header and correspondingly below into the flushing header.
When the cooler is arranged in two layers, the liquid-solid separation device is arranged between the two layers of heat transfer devices; when the heat transfer device is three-layered, the liquid-solid separation device is preferably installed between the top and middle heat transfer devices to reduce the carbon monoxide and hydrogen content of the entrained gas. In order to ensure that the filtration and flushing volumes of each set of filter assemblies are equal, the number of filter elements should be as equal as possible.
The gas-solid washing and separating device consists of a backflow wax sprayer, a backflow condensate sprayer, a liquid distributor and a gas-liquid separator; the reflux wax sprayer is arranged below the reflux condensate sprayer, the liquid distributor is arranged below the reflux condensate sprayer, and the gas-liquid separator is arranged above the reflux condensate sprayer and the liquid distributor and is connected with a gas outlet at the top of the reactor.
The gas-solid washing and separating device washes a gas product by using a medium with lower catalyst content, and then removes tiny liquid drops containing solid particles in the gas product so as to achieve the effect of reducing the catalyst content in the gas product, wherein the device comprises a sprayer for uniformly distributing chilling liquid, a liquid distributor for strengthening gas-liquid contact and a gas-liquid separator for separating liquid drops/product gas. The gaseous product leaving the reaction zone is countercurrently contacted with Fischer-Tropsch wax having a relatively low catalyst content (< 100 ppm) on a liquid distributor below the return wax spray, and the majority of entrained catalyst-containing entrainment is absorbed by the return wax and carried back to the reaction zone. The gas product is then contacted in countercurrent with reflux condensate which is almost free of catalyst (< 5 ppm), the catalyst being further replenished. In addition, the condensing action of the reflux condensate on the gas product causes gas-liquid two-phase mass transfer, so that the washing effect can be further enhanced. The chilled gas product and the entrainment which is carried by the chilled gas product and almost does not contain the catalyst enter a gas-liquid separator, the entrainment collides with and is attached to a baffle plate, then the entrainment flows back to a liquid distributor along the baffle plate, and the gas product flows out of the reactor through the baffle plate.
The reaction system provided by the invention comprises a reactor, and a filtering-flushing assembly and a washing assembly which are connected with the reactor.
The filter-flushing assembly consists of a Fischer-Tropsch wax collecting tank, a Fischer-Tropsch wax buffer tank, a filter, a flushing wax collecting tank, a flushing pump, a flushing wax tank, a filter valve and a flushing valve, wherein an inlet of the Fischer-Tropsch wax collecting tank is connected with a filtering lumped pipe of the liquid-solid separation device through a pipeline provided with the filter valve, a liquid phase outlet is connected with the Fischer-Tropsch wax buffer tank, a liquid phase outlet of the Fischer-Tropsch wax buffer tank is connected with the filter, a filtrate outlet of the filter is connected with the flushing wax collecting tank, a liquid phase outlet of the flushing wax collecting tank is connected with the flushing pump, an outlet of the flushing pump is connected with the flushing wax tank, and a liquid phase outlet of the flushing wax tank is connected with the flushing lumped pipe of the liquid-solid separation device through a pipeline provided with the flushing valve.
The flushing assembly can also be a gas flushing assembly, the flushing wax collecting tank and the flushing wax tank are high-pressure gas storage tanks, and flushing gas in the high-pressure gas storage tanks is synthetic gas or inert gas.
The purpose of the filter-flushing assembly is to filter the Fischer-Tropsch wax and flush the liquid-solid separation device within the reactor. The filtration-flushing operation procedure includes filtration, flushing and optionally waiting conditions, by controlling the filter valve and the flushing valve associated with the liquid-solid separation device. Specifically, when one or more groups of filter components are switched from a filtering state to a flushing state, one scheme is that the same number of groups of filter components are switched to a waiting state, and the filter components are switched to the filtering state after the waiting state is finished, and the steps are repeated in sequence; another proposal is that the filter state is directly switched to the flushing state after the end, and the filter state is repeatedly performed in turn. In the filtering state, the filter valve is opened, the flushing valve is closed, and the duration time is 10-30 min; in the waiting state, the filter valve is closed, the flushing valve is closed, and the duration time is 5-20 min; in the flushing state, the filter valve is closed, and the flushing valve is opened for 2-20 s.
The fine filtration of the Fischer-Tropsch wax is achieved by the following scheme: the Fischer-Tropsch wax separated by the liquid-solid separation device enters a Fischer-Tropsch wax collecting tank to remove entrained gas products and synthesis gas. The degassed Fischer-Tropsch wax enters a Fischer-Tropsch wax buffer tank for decompression and then enters a filter. The filter type can be selected from vane type or plate frame type. After fine filtration, the maximum particle size of the catalyst in the Fischer-Tropsch wax is less than 1 mu m, and the content is less than 5ppm. Part of the Fischer-Tropsch wax after fine filtration is extracted as a product, and the other part is led into a flushing wax collecting tank. The flushing wax is conveyed to a flushing wax tank through a flushing pump and then returned to the reactor for flushing the liquid-solid separation device. Wherein the pressure of the Fischer-Tropsch wax collecting tank is lower than 0.1-1.0 MPa of the reactor, the pressure of the Fischer-Tropsch wax buffering tank is lower than the allowable pressure of the filter, and the pressure of the wax flushing tank is higher than 0.1-1.0 MPa of the reactor.
The washing assembly consists of a product gas cooler, a condensate separating tank, a condensate reflux pump and a Fischer-Tropsch wax reflux pump, wherein an inlet of the product gas cooler is connected with a gas outlet of the reactor, an outlet of the product gas cooler is connected with the condensate separating tank, an oil phase outlet of the condensate separating tank is connected with the condensate reflux pump, an outlet of the condensate reflux pump is connected with a condensate sprayer of the gas-solid washing and separating device, an inlet of the Fischer-Tropsch wax reflux pump is connected with the Fischer-Tropsch wax collecting tank, and an outlet of the Fischer-Tropsch wax reflux pump is connected with the reflux wax sprayer.
And the washing component condenses and separates the gas product, and conveys the oil phase condensate and the Fischer-Tropsch wax separated by the liquid-solid separation device to the washing and separation device. The gas at the outlet of the reactor enters a cooler and is cooled to 20-150 ℃, and water and heavy hydrocarbon in the gas are condensed into liquid. The cooler may employ one or a combination of more of the following coolers depending on the process requirements: precooler using inlet synthesis gas or other process fluid with lower temperature as cooling medium; a water cooler using circulating water as a cooling medium; an air cooler using air as a cooling medium. And the cooled gas enters a condensate separating tank to carry out gas-oil-water three-phase separation. And taking a part of the oil phase condensate as a product, and conveying a part of the oil phase condensate to a condensate sprayer through a condensate reflux pump. The return wax pump delivers the Fischer-Tropsch wax in the Fischer-Tropsch wax collecting tank to the return wax shower. Wherein the liquid-gas ratio of condensate to gas product is 2-4L/m 3, the liquid-gas ratio of reflux wax to gas product is 0.4-1L/m 3, and the temperature of gas product after chilling is lower than the temperature of reaction zone by 10-60 ℃.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:
(1) The inlet gas distributor is matched with the false bottom to effectively improve the gas-liquid-solid mixing at the bottom of the reaction zone, and avoid the occurrence of a dead bed zone at the bottom. The pressure difference at two sides of the false bottom can be fluctuated in a small range even under extreme conditions by the pressurizing and balancing pipeline, so that the safety of the false bottom and the sealing element thereof is ensured.
(2) The heat transfer device has simple structure and large pipe distribution density, can ensure sufficient heat exchange area, and is suitable for various complex working conditions and larger load change.
(3) The reasonable size and arrangement mode of the downcomers can obviously improve the three-phase mixing of gas, liquid and solid, and the heat exchange effect can be enhanced when the downcomers are matched with a heat transfer device.
(4) The liquid-solid separation device and the filtering-flushing assembly are simple and efficient to operate, and the catalyst content of the Fischer-Tropsch wax can be effectively reduced, so that the catalyst can meet the requirements of flushing and product quality.
(5) The gas-solid washing and separating device and the washing component can effectively remove the catalyst in the gas product, reduce the loss of the catalyst and reduce the risk of blocking downstream equipment.
(6) Compared with the technical scheme disclosed by CN1233451C, the three-phase mixing in the bed is enhanced by configuring the downcomer, more reasonable distributor configuration is adopted, the generation of dead zones and hot spots at the bottom of the bed is restrained, the temperature difference in the bed is further reduced, and the yield of target products is improved.
