Abstract

Acetylenes and dienes in a stream containing hydrogen, methane, C2-C6 olefins and paraffins, C2-C6 acetylenes and dienes, benzene, toluene, xylenes, and other C6+ components are hydrogenated in a downflow boiling point reactor wherein the heat of reaction is absorbed by the liquid in the reactor which produces a vapor. Besides the feed to the reactor there is a recirculating stream which is fed at a rate sufficient to ensure that the catalyst particles within the reactor are wetted. A third stream, which is taken from a downstream distillation column, is fed to provide the make up mass corresponding to the mass evaporated in the reactor. The composition of the this third stream controls the steady state composition of the liquid flowing through the reactor.

Description

SELECTIVE HYDROGENATION OF ACETYLENES
AND DIENES IN A HYDROCARBON STREAM
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
' Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a process for selectively hydrogenating acetylenes and dienes in a hydrocarbon stream. More particularly the invention relates to the selective hydrogenation of acetylenes and dienes in a hydrocarbon stream containing hydrogen, olefins and smaller amounts of acetylenes and dienes using a downflow boiling point reactor.
Related Information The vapor product stream from the quench system of a hydrocarbon steam cracker typically consists mainly of hydrogen, methane, C~-C6 olefins and paraffins, C2-C6 acetylenes and dienes, benzene, toluene, xylenes, and other C6+
components. Separation and recovery of the products according to carbon number is generally accomplished in a sequential distillation sysfiem after the first separation of hydrogen from the methane in a high pressure cold box sysfiem. The design of the distillation system is complicated by the fact that the differences in relative volatility of the olefins, acetylenes, and dienes of the same carbon number are small maleing it difficult to produce the pure olefin products. One method of circumventing this problem is to first separate the carbon number fractions and then to selectively hydrotreat each fraction to convert the acetylene and/or diene to its corresponding olefin or paraffin. This so called "back end" approach requires a separate hydrotreating system for each carbon number fraction as well as the addition of a requisite amount of hydrogen to each system. An alternative method is to hydrotreat the feed stream before separation using the contained hydrogen as the source of hydrogen for the conversion. This so-called "front end" approach has the advantage , of removing a significant portion of the hydrogen from the feed stream to the cold box thereby reducing the size and refrigeration requirements of the cold box.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a "front end" hydrotreating system that allows for effective control of the temperature within a bed of catalyst which is hydrogenating acetyleries and dienes in a stream containing hydrogen, methane, C2-C6 olefins and paraffins, C2-C6 acetylenes and dienes, benzene, toluene, xylenes, and other C6+
components. The invention utilizes a downflow boiling point reactor wherein the heat of reaction is absorbed by the liquid in the reactor which produces a vapor.
Besides the feed to the reactor there is a recirculating stream which is fed at a rate sufficient to ensure that the catalyst particles within the reactor are wetted. A third stream, which is taken from a downstream distillation column, is fed to provide the make up mass corresponding to the mass evaporated in the reactor. The composition of the this third stream controls the steady state composition of the liquid flowing through the reactor. The composition of this stream may be controlled by selecting the point from the downstream distillation column from which the stream is drawn. The lower the draw point is in the column, the higher the boiling point of the components in the third stream. The steady state composition of the liquid flowing through the reactor along with the pressure determines the reactor temperature profile.
In a "boiling point reactor" a liquid phase is always maintained, even if the reaction components would be vaporized by the exothermic heat of reaction. In any reaction where the reaction stream is likely to be vaporized, an inert higher boiling component may be added to maintain a liquid phase.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
FIG. 9 is a flow diagram in schematic form of one embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 2 is graphical representation of the temperature profile in a typical reactor of the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Catalysts which are useful for the selective hydrogenation of acetylenes and dienes include palladium oxide supported on alumina. One such catalyst contains 0.34 wt.% palladium supported on 1/8 inch spheres designated G68C and supplied by Sud-Chemie (formerly United Catalyst Inc.). Another catalyst comprises 0.5 wt.%
palladium supported on 8-12 mesh spheres and designated E144SDU as supplied by Calcicat, Catalyst and Performance Chemicals Division, Mallinckrodt, Inc.
For best results the catalyst is supported in structured packing as disclosed in commonly owned U.S. Pat. No. 5,730,843. The catalyst may, however, be simply loaded into the reactor.
Referring now to FIG. 1 selective hydrogenation of acetylenes and diolefins in a hydrocarbon stream containing significantly larger amounts (molar basis) of hydrogen and olefins than the acetylenes and diolefins is carried out in a downflow boiling point reactor. The downflow boiling point reactor, shown as column 10 is a vertically disposed reactor containing the particulate catalyst supported in a structured packing at 12. The gaseous feed stream is fed via flow line 101 to the top of the column 10. Also fed to the top of the reactor is liquid in flow line 104 which is a mixture of circulating stream in flow line 102 and stream in flow line 103 derived from distillation column 40 as more particularly described below. Gas and liquid streams flow concurrently downward through the column with the flow regime being gas continuous. The concurrent flow of gas and liquid eliminates the possibility of a runaway reaction.
The reactor 10 is operated adiabatically so that the heat of reaction is accounted for by preferentially evaporating the lighter liquid phase components.
Effiluent from the reactor in flow line 105 is fed to vapor/liquid separator 20 where the vapor and liquid are separated. The heat content of the vapor in flow line 106 includes the heat of reaction generated in the reactor 10 while its mass rate is equal to the combined flows of the streams in flow lines 101 and 103 less slip stream 107 described below. Liquid in flow line 102 is fed back to the top of the reactor 10. The flow rate of the stream in flow line 102 is a variable and is maintained at least sufficient to ensure that the catalyst particles are fully wetted at all positions in the reactor 10. The stream in flow line 103 provides make up mass corresponding to the mass evaporated in the reactor that leaves the reactor system as part of the stream in flow line 106. The composition of the stream in flow line 103 controls fihe steady state composition of liquid flowing through the reactor 10. This is an important operating parameter that in combination with the reactor pressure determines the reactor temperature profile. A slip stream is taken by flow line 107 to control the liquid inventory in the vapor/liquid separator vessel 20.
Column 40 is a C5/C6 splitter. Feed to the column is the vapor from the separator 20 in flow line 106. It is heated by indirect heat exchange in exchanger 30 with the recirculating stream in flow line 103. The column 40 is designed to recover a vapor distillate fraction via flow line 108 which is essentially free of C6+
components and a bottoms liquid product in flow line 109 which is essentially free of C5 and lighter components. The overheads are taken via flow line 130 and passed through partial condenser 50 where the heavier components are condensed. The overheads are collected in receiver separator 60 where liquid hydrocarbon is withdrawn via flow line 120 and returned to the column 40 as reflux. Water is taken out via flow line 110. As noted distillate product is removed via flow line 108.
The draw off position or tray of the recirculating stream in flow line 103 is an operating variable. Moving the take off point further down the column increases the higher boiling components in the stream. Minimum operating pressure forthe reactor 10 at a fixed temperature profile is achieved when the draw off is from the bottom stage of the column 40.
EXAMPLE
Feed to the system depicted in FIG. 1 is the vapor product from the quench tower of an olefins producing steam cracker after compression and acid gas (C~~ and H2S) removal. The reactor is loaded with approximately 14,000 ft3 structured packing loaded with hydrogenation catalyst. Eed dimensions are approximately 15 ft diameter by ~0 ft long. ~perating conditions for the reactor are: reactor top/bottom pressure 250/240 psia; liquid recycle rate (stream in flow line 102) 4,000,000 Ibs./hr.; slip stream in flow line 10'l 2243 Ibs./hr. The distillation column 40 is a column configured with a 16.4 ft diameter 20 stage (theoretical) top section and 10.5 ffi 20 stage (theoretical) bottom section. ~esign conditions for the distillation column 40 are:
reflux ratio 0.18; reflux temperature 136°F, condenser pressure is 238 Asia; column pressure drop is 2 psi; bottom stage side draw; decanter temperature 84°F. Heat and material balance results are given in TALE I. Temperature profile across the reactor is given in FIG. 2.
