ABSTRACT

13

Multi-lump kinetic models, for model compounds representative of various

14

sulfur (S) and nitrogen (N) compounds in coker gas oil (CGO), were developed to

15

describe coker gas oil hydrodesulfurization(HDS) and hydrodenitrogenation(HDN)

16

process, respectively. Models parameters were obtained from fitting of operating data.

17

Validation results revealed that models could predict contents of S and N in products

18

accurately, and hydrogen consumption of HDS and HDN can be estimated. The effect

19

of temperature, hydrogen/oil ratio and pressure on the reaction performance were also

20

investigated.

1. INTRODUCTION

22

With the increasingly stringent environmental requirements, it is imperative to

23

produce higher quality fuel. Hydrorefining is the most effective method of removing

24

sulfur (S), nitrogen (N) and other impurities from petroleum oil.[1] Kinetic research

25

provides a significant guidance for parameter optimization of hydrogenation refining.

26

Many reports are available on kinetic models for hydrodesulfurization (HDS) and

27

hydrodenitrogenation (HDN)[2-5], which are mainly divided into two types, power

28

index model and Langmuir-Hinshelwood model. Nguyen[6] proposed a new

1

Langmuir-Hinshelwood model including L-V equilibrium and confirmed the reaction

2

scheme of HDN. Ferdous[7] used a single simplified L-H equation for HDS and HDN

3

reactions. In their work, it was proposed that the effect of ammonia adsorption on the

4

HDN and HDS reactions can be neglected while N and H2S adsorption had enormous

5

impact on HDN and HDS reactions. In general, the L-H model is not applicable to the

6

complicated real system attributed to presence of many coefficients which are difficult

7

to determine[8]. On the contrary, power index model for real system is widely adopted.

8

Power index model parameters can be obtained via the least squares fitting of the

9

experimental data. A pseudo-first-order kinetic model for total nitrogen, basic nitrogen

10

and non-basic nitrogen was presented by Wei[9]. They investigated the effects of

11

different operating conditions on HDN conversion which increased with increase in

12

temperature, hydrogen/oil ratio and pressure. Xiang[10] established a macro reaction

13

kinetic model for the HDS of coker gas oil (CGO) in a slurry reactor.

14

Due to the presence of large amount of N and S compounds in the CGO[9], it is

15

difficult to build specific kinetic models to describe the reaction process. Generally,

16

lump method is regarded as the most useful way to characterize the complex mixtures.

17

Torrisi[11] believed that S compounds with different boiling point showed different

18

reaction rate, normally reaction rate increased as its boiling point decreased. Tang[12]

19

proposed power index kinetic models to describe the process of HDS and HDN. The

20

S and N compounds in feed were lumped according to the reactivity into three or four

21

group cuts to obtain three- and four-lump kinetic models. And results showed that

22

three-lump and four-lump models predicted the performance of HDS and HDN

23

effectively with changing operational conditions and feedstock. Therefore, multi-lump

24

kinetic models are suitable for HDS and HDN of CGO. Generally, the more amount

25

of lumps in a kinetic model, the larger number of parameters need to be estimated by

26

using more detailed experimental data.[13] Thus, selecting a proper division method of

27

S and N compounds is the key to establish kinetic model accurately.

28

As for sulfur compounds in coker gas oil, based on the analysis of CGO a

1

conclusion can be drawed is that most of sulfur compounds exist in state of

2

benzothiophene (BT), dibenzothiophene (DBT) and benzonaphthothiophene (BNT),

3

Bannatham[14] established multi-lumped kinetic model to evaluate the process of HDS

4

in a trickle-bed reactor. The sulfur compounds in petroleum oil were divided into

5

several groups according to the boiling-point to establish multi-lumped models for

6

HDS. The predicted results were reliable and described the process of HDS accurately.

7

When it comes to nitrogen compounds in CGO, most of which exist in state of

8

pyridine, acridine, quinoline, carbazole and their derivatives. The multi-lumped

9

were divided into several groups according to its basic and reaction rate.

10

The study of catalyst, reactor, and reaction of CGO hydrorefining have been

11

widely reported [9,10,15,16]. As for heavy oil hydrorefining and kinetic model, our group

12

has done a lot of relevant researches[17-25]. It was proved that lumping method was a

13

well-established approach for characterizing complicated system. Results predicted by

14

models were in good agreement with the experimental data. In addition, experimental

15

data obtained from plant were objective reflection of performance of CGO

16

hydrorefining and provide sufficient data for estimating model parameters.

17

In this study model compounds were used to describe the constituents of S and N

18

in CGO and develop power index kinetic models suitable for CGO hydrorefining,

19

respectively. The effect of temperature, pressure, liquid hourly space velocity( LHSV)

20

and hydrogen/oil ratio on the reaction performance were also investigated and

21

considered in this model. In addition, hydrogen consumption can be calculated by

22

using empirical equations.

23

2. Methodology

24

For modeling the HDS and HDN, S and N compounds in CGO were divided into

25

two times three groups according to conversion of hydrogenation reaction and

26

reactivity, and two times three-lump kinetic models were established, respectively.

27 28

2.1 Description of HDS Model HDS of CGO is complicated process due to different type of S constituents, i.e.

Benzothiophene (BT), dibenzothiophene (DBT) and benzonaphthothiophene (BNT)

and their derivatives having different reaction rate and boiling range. Therefore, the

3

feed in the model can be divided into BT, DBT and BNT and their derivatives, which

4

react to H2S, as shown in Figure 1 assuming no mutual reaction between S

5

compounds.

6

2.2 Description of HDN Model

7

Similar to HDS, N compounds in HDN reaction are lumped into three groups

8

according to their reactivity. Pyridine, acridine, quinoline and their derivatives, mostly

9

consist in basic nitrogen with higher conversion, are grouped into lump 1. Carbazole

10

and its derivatives, having most of the non-basic nitrogen with low conversion, can be

11

regarded as lump 2. The other nitrogen compounds with highest conversion are

12

considered as lump 3. No reaction among individual N compounds was assumed for

13

the model.

2.3Kinetic Models On the basis of the above lump division, the n-order kinetic model of each lump can be described as follows: E (− a ) dCi a = -k0i ×(H2 / Oil) × Pb × e R×T × Cin 1 d( ) LHSV

where Ci represents the concentration of sulfur for lump 1, lump 2 and lump 3, µg/g, k0i is pre-exponential factors, h*MPa-b, H2/Oil refers to the H2/oil ratio in V/V, P is operating pressure in MPa, Ea is apparent activation energy in J/mol, LSHV is liquid

Based on the nonlinear regression and least-square method, the kinetic parameters were estimated which could describe HDS and HDN reactions accurately.

2.4 Estimation of Chemical Hydrogen Consumption

6 7

The chemical hydrogen consumption of CGO hydrorefining is mainly derived

8

from process of HDS and HDN. Based on the result of three-lump kinetic model, the

9

content of sulfur and nitrogen in product can be predicted under different operational

10

conditions. Empirical equations were regarded as an optimal method to estimate

11

chemical hydrogen consumption for CGO hydrorefining without detailed analytical

12

data. Equations are shown as following:

13

H HDS = α × (S f − SP )

(4)

14

H HDN = β × ( N f − N P )

(5)

15

where HHDS and HHDN is hydrogen consumption in HDS and HDN reaction, Nm3/m3,

16

respectively. Sf and Nf represent the content of S and N in feed respectively. Sp and Np

17

represent the content of sulfur and nitrogen in product, α and β are relevant

18

parameters, according to relevant literature[26], α=18~23, and β=62.

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

20

3.1Effect of reaction temperature on HDN and HDS

21

As temperature is the most critical factor influencing HDS and HDN, the effect

22

of reaction temperature ranging from 500K- 680K at a pressure of 10 MPa, LHSV of

23

1 h-1, and hydrogen/oil ratio of 500 was investigated. Results are shown in Figure 3-4.

24

Conversion of S and N compounds increased with increasing reaction temperature

25

which became stable above 660K. Moreover, different types of S compounds showed

26

significant variations for HDS. Lump 1 showed the highest conversion and improve

27

rapidly with increasing temperature. Conversion of lump 2 was low below 540 K. At

28

temperature over 540K, catalytic activity improved rapidly, resulting in higher

1

conversion. The trend of lump 3 was similar to those of lump 2 and the only

2

difference was that conversion increase rapidly when temperature reached 570K. A

3

similar effect of temperature on HDN was observed. Conversions of lump 2 and lump

4

3 were more than those of lump 1 while Lump 1 gave higher conversion at high

5

temperature. Thus, the conversion of total nitrogen mainly depended on temperature.

6

However, the increase of coking and metal deposition were promoted with rising

7

temperature, resulting in catalyst deactivation rapidly which led to decreased

8

conversion. Thus, conversion and catalyst-life should be considered when selecting

9

the optimal reaction temperature. Based on Figure 3 and 4, HDS and HDN showed

10 11

satisfied conversion in a temperature range of 630K – 660K.

3.2 Kinetics of HDN and HDS

12

The contents of S and N compounds in product of CGO hydrorefining are

13

strongly affected by temperature, pressure, hydrogen/oil ratio and LHSV. Different

14

plant data sets of various level of operational conditions(Table 3-4) were fitted with

15

three-lump kinetic models. Kinetics parameters of three-lump models for CGO HDN

16

and HDS were determined and shown in Table 1 and 2.

17

The comparison of experimental data and calculated results are shown in Figure

18

5. The predicted content of S and N compounds in product from the three-lump model

19

were in good agreement with those obtained from experimental data. It appeared that

20

three-lump model established in present work can predict the performance of HDS

21

and HDN accurately at different operating conditions. The average absolute relative

22

deviations(AARD) of HDS and HDN was 0.34% and 1.71%, respectively.

23

In order to validate the model, seven sets of experimental data at different

24

operating conditions with same feedstock were obtained and shown in Figure 6. The

25

three-lump kinetic model also predicted the conversion of sulfur and nitrogen

26

compounds accurately. The AARD of HDS and HDN was 4.06% and 1.31%

27

respectively. These results proved that three-lump models were suitable for CGO

28

HDS and HDN and can accurately predict concentration of S and N compounds in

29

product stream at fixed operating conditions.

30

The same model can also be used to estimate S and N compounds in CGO

31

hydrorefining process at different operating conditions. Data for these investigations

32

are shown in Figure 7-9, which indicate that S compounds were preferentially

33

removed, and temperature and pressure were the most influential factors on the

performance of HDS and HDN. Figure 7 shows that concentration of S compounds

2

decreased with increasing time. This decrease was rapid initially and 0.1h onward

3

became linear. This trend was very much linear and gradual for HDN regarding N

4

compounds decreased. Compare with HDS and HDN, the effect of temperature on

5

HDN was more remarkable than HDS and nitrogen compounds are more difficult to

6

be removed.

7

Figure 8 shows the effect of hydrogen/oil ratio on HDN and HDS. The content of

8

S and N in product reduce with increasing the amount of hydrogen under the same

9

operational condition. But little variation can be seen in performance of HDS and

10

HDN with the change in hydrogen/oil ratio. It can be proved that hydrogen/oil ratio

11

was

12

hydrodenitrogenation. The increase of hydrogen/oil ratio is favourable to more

13

hydrogen participate in reaction, promoting the degree of hydrorefining. However,

14

residence time of reactant on catalyst bed decreases as hydrogen/oil ratio increases,

15

leading to reducing reaction time and decreasing the degree of hydrorefining.

16

Therefore, a proper hydrogen/oil ratio facilitate the process of hydrorefining.

and

17

Figure 9 shows the effect of pressure on performance of HDS and HDN. It was

18

observed that pressure predominantly affected HDN as compared to HDS while in

19

both the cases, increase in pressure resulted in higher performance of both the

20

processes for CGO hydrorefining. This is because that improving pressure can

21

increase hydrogen partial pressure, which is benefit with HDS and HDN. Besides, the

22

increase of hydrogen partial pressure promotes the hydrogenation saturation of

23

aromatics, which hydrogenation saturation of aromatics is first step to remove

24

nitrogen compounds, and finally accelerate the reaction rate of HDN .

3.3Estimation of Hydrogen consumption

25 26

The lump model was also used to predict the amount of hydrogen consumption

27

in hydrorefining process. The total amount of hydrogen consumption predicted was

28

0.66% which was in good agreement with the experimental data from plant. To

29

illustrate the applicability of the empirical equations, the empirical equations were

30

used for other experimental data, and the results were shown in Figure 10. Reference

31

literature data were compared with the empirical equations for hydrogen consumption,

32

and the AARD was 7.99%. Calculation showed good agreement with experimental

33

data, proving that the empirical equations possess wide adaptation.

4. CONCLUSIONS

2

On the basic of the experimental data of CGO hydrodesulfurization and

3

hydrodenitrogenation, which were recorded at the steady state, a three-lump kinetic

4

models were proposed, in which the sulfur and nitrogen compounds in the feed were

5

respectively grouped into three lumps according to composition of CGO and reaction

6

mechanism. Results showed that three-lump model can effectively predict

7

conversions of sulfur and nitrogen. The effect of operational conditions on HDS and

8

HDN were discussed. It can be concluded that temperature and pressure were as

9

major influencing factors on the performance of HDS and HDN. Combined with

10

empirical equations for hydrogen consumption and predicting the content of sulfur

11

and nitrogen in product by using three-lump kinetic model, the chemical hydrogen

12

consumption can be obtained. The present model can help in formulation of reaction

13

modeling, mechanism and products distribution in CGO hydrorefining process on

14

industrial level.
