To produce low olefin gasoline with high octane number, operating conditions were optimized in a Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) wax fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit. Experimental results showed that under specific conditions, the olefin content in gasoline could be reduced while causing a loss in octane number. To address this issue, a novel FCC process using a turbulent fluidized bed (TFB) reactor was proposed, which improved the reduction of olefins and the increase of aromatics. Although there was a decrease in gasoline yield, the aromatic content and octane number were significantly improved.
To produce low olefin gasoline with high octane number by Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) wax fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process, operating conditions optimization were carried out in the pilot-scale riser and turbulent fluidized bed (TFB) FCC unit. The experimental results in the riser indicated that under the condition of low reaction temperature and regenerated catalyst temperature, large catalyst-to-oil weight ratio (C/O) and long reaction time, the gasoline olefin content could be reduced to 20.28 wt%, but there is large octane number loss owing to a great loss in high octane number olefin. Therefore, a novel FCC process using the TFB reactor was proposed to strengthen the aromatization reaction. The reaction performance of TFB reactor were investigated. The result demonstrated that the TFB reactor has more significant effect in reducing olefins and improving aromatics. At the expense of certain gasoline yield, the gasoline olefin content reduced to 23.70 wt%, aromatics content could increase to 26.79 wt% and the RON was up to 91.0. The comparison of reactor structure and fluidization demonstrated that the TFB reactor has higher catalyst bed density. The reaction heat and coke combustion heat was calculated indicating the feasibility of its industrial application of the TFB process.(c) 2023 The Authors.
