The present disclosure relates to the technical field of petroleum hydrocarbon pyrolysis and light hydrocarbon aromatization apparatus, and in particular to an anti-coking apparatus and a preparation method and a use thereof.
The cracking furnaces, transfer line exchangers (TLE for short) and aromatization reactors are commonly used apparatuses in the petrochemical industry, each is one of the important apparatuses used in hydrocarbon pyrolysis to produce ethylene or light hydrocarbon aromatization reaction. In order to ensure the high temperature strength of the aforementioned apparatuses in use, the materials used in the cracking furnaces, TLE and aromatization reactors mainly contain Fe, Cr, Ni and the like, while under the operating conditions of cracking furnaces, TLE and aromatization reactors, the Fe and/or Ni elements in the apparatuses may cause catalytic coking, carburization and other phenomenon on the inner wall of said apparatuses, which eventually results in serious carbon deposits on the inner walls of the apparatuses such as the cracking furnace tubes, tube pass furnace tubes of TLE and light hydrocarbon aromatization reactors, and the bed pressure drop increases, the apparatuses cannot be operated for a long period. In addition, the heavy hydrocarbon feedstock is accompanied by a large amount of free radical coking and polycondensation coking during the pyrolysis process.
Two main approaches are currently used to mitigate the coking and carburization process, namely adding the coking inhibitors to the pyrolysis feedstock and applying an anti-coking coating on the inner surface of said reactors. However, the method of adding the coking inhibitors to passivate an inner surface of said reactors or vaporize the coke, not only brings about pollution to the downstream product, but also requires the replenishment of specialized injection equipment, the method has poor effect for the low temperature coking. The primary direction of current research relates to preparation of an inert coating on an inner surface of said reactors, the inert coating can reduce the contact of hydrocarbons with active metallic species Fe and/or Ni on inner surface of the cracking furnace tubes, thereby alleviating the catalytic coking caused by the active metallic species Fe and/or Ni. On the other hand, the researchers also take measures such as adding components in the reactors, decreasing pressure in the reactors, reducing the residence time, lowering the pyrolysis temperature, optimizing the pyrolysis feedstock to reduce free radical coking and polycondensation coking during the pyrolysis process.
The methods of forming a protective layer on an inner surface of the reactor have two different approaches, one approach is to form a protective layer on an inner surface of the reactor by means of thermal spraying, thermal sputtering, high temperature sintering, chemical thermal treatment, chemical vapor deposition and the like, the disadvantage of such a method is that the protective layer is not firmly bonded to the reactor substrate, and the protective layer can be easily peeled off; another approach is to form the oxide protective layer on an inner surface of the reactor in-situ by treatment with a specific atmosphere under a certain temperature. The method has an advantage that the bonding force of the protective layer to the furnace tube substrate is strong and the protective layer cannot be easily peeled off.
Canadian NOVA Chemical Corporation discloses a series of patents for treating the inner surface of cracking furnace tube under a low oxygen partial pressure atmosphere to obtain a chromium manganese spinel oxide film, including US5630887A, US6436202B1, US6824883B1, US7156979B2, US7488392B2. The disclosed materials show that the technology exhibits a desirable effect of suppressing coking in a gas cracking furnace using ethane, propane and other light hydrocarbon as the raw materials, but the technology has poor anti-coking effect in the process of cracking the liquid feedstock. Since the coking of said gas cracking furnace is dominated by the catalytic coking, the oxide film will isolate Fe, Ni elements having catalytic coking activity in the furnace tube from the hydrocarbon coking source. In the case of a liquid cracking furnace fed with naphtha, diesel and the like, although the coking is also based on the catalytic coking, the polycondensation coking accounts for more than 50% of the total amount of coking, wherein the polycondensation coking can completely cover the oxide film. Therefore, the oxide film in the liquid cracking furnace tube is only effective for suppressing coking in the initial service stage of said furnace tube, because the oxide film at that time is not covered by the polycondensation coking; when the cracking furnace is operated to the middle and late periods, the oxide film cannot exert its effect.
CN105506713A discloses a method of forming a chromium-based coating on a component, the method comprises: dipping the component and a counter electrode into the electrolyte solution containing a trivalent chromium salt and nanometer ceramic particles, applying current to the component and counter electrode, and electroplating a layer of chromium based coating containing chromium and nanometer ceramic particles on the component. The method serves to form a chromium coating by electroplating to cover Fe, Ni elements.
CN103374705A discloses a magnetron sputtering device, the device comprises a reaction chamber, a chuck and target materials. The chuck is arranged at the bottom of the reaction chamber and used to hold workpieces to be processed. The target materials are arranged at the top of the reaction chamber. Edge magnets are arranged at the outside of the side wall of the reaction chamber. The edge magnets are arranged above the chuck, wherein auxiliary magnets are arranged at the edge of the chuck. The magnetic pole of the auxiliary magnets and the magnetic pole of the edge magnets are arranged in the same direction. The auxiliary magnets and the edge magnets form a magnetic loop. Via the magnetic loop, metal ions in plasma are moved toward the edge zone of the reaction chamber to increase the deposition amount of the target material particles on the edge zone of the workpieces to be processed. An inert coating is formed by the magnetron sputtering device.
However, the inert coatings formed by applying the foreign elements have a short life in practical industrial applications, and the coatings are largely peeled off after several cycles, thus these coatings are not widely used in the industry.
The present disclosure serves to overcome the existing problems in the prior art with respect to coking and carburization on an inner wall of the apparatus, and the difficulty in preparing an oxide film on the inner surface of said apparatus, and provides an anti-coking apparatus and a preparation method and a use thereof.

In the present disclosure, the low oxygen partial pressure atmosphere refers to a reducing atmosphere in which the oxygen partial pressure is low, so that the oxidation process occurs very slowly, which is conducive to the formation of a dense oxide film on a surface of the material.

In the present disclosure, the contact reaction may be performed in an apparatus which is capable of maintaining a certain atmosphere and commonly used in the art, for example, the contact reaction may be performed in at least one selected from the group consisting of a tube furnace, a well furnace and an atmosphere box furnace.
According to the present disclosure, the apparatus is an alloy furnace tube used in the cracking furnace.
Further, the alloy furnace tube comprises an enhanced heat transfer member fixed in the furnace tube.
The inventors of the present disclosure have discovered through researches that by providing an enhanced heat transfer member inside the furnace tube, the enhanced heat transfer member changes the flow state of the low oxygen partial pressure gas during the contact reaction between the furnace tube and the low oxygen partial pressure gas, the trace amount of O2 in the low oxygen partial pressure gas can be brought into sufficient contact with the tube wall, such that the tube wall is completely oxidized, and the content of metallic elements in the formed oxide film is further reduced.
In contrast, when a furnace tube without an enhanced heat transfer member is subjected to treatment with a low oxygen partial pressure gas, the gas contacts with the tube wall in a laminar state, O2 in the middle of the gas flow is not substantially involved in oxidation reaction of the tube wall, the tube wall cannot be completely oxidized, thus the formed oxide film has a high content of metallic elements.
Moreover, due to the enhanced heat transfer member, after the enhanced heat transfer member changes the flow state of the pyrolysis gas near the tube wall from laminar flow to turbulent flow during the pyrolysis process, the condensation coking on the inner surface of the furnace tube is easily washed out by the flow of pyrolysis gas, the reason may be that the condensation coking is generally a relatively loose coke and has a relatively weak adhesion on the inner wall of the furnace tube. Therefore, the coke adhered on the inner wall of the furnace tube containing the enhanced heat transfer member is mainly composed of the catalytic coking, so that the oxide film formed by low oxygen partial pressure treatment can sufficiently exert its effect, thereby significantly prolonging the operating cycle of the cracking furnace.
In the present disclosure, the enhanced heat transfer member may be a conventional component in the prior art capable of changing a fluid flow state and enhancing a heat transfer coefficient, for example, the enhanced heat transfer member is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of a swirling element radiation tube (SERT for short), an inner rib tube and an inner fin tube.
In the present disclosure, a cracking furnace alloy furnace tube provided with an enhanced heat transfer member is prepared with a conventional method in the art. For example, the cracking furnace alloy furnace tube is generally manufactured by means of centrifugal casting, while a furnace tube having an enhanced heat transfer member therein may be manufactured in various forms. For example, a furnace tube having a SERT or an inner fin tube therein is generally manufactured through block cast by means of a static casting, and a furnace tube having an inner rib therein is manufactured by welding the rib inside the furnace tube.
In addition, alloy furnace tubes used for the cracking furnace provided with an enhanced heat transfer member are also commercially available, such as the plum blossom tubes (tubes provided with inner fins therein) of the Kellogg corporation, the MERT tubes (tubes provided with inner ribs therein) of the Kubota corporation and the SERT tubes (tubes provided with twisted slices therein) of the China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec).
According to the present disclosure, the tubes with the enhanced heat transfer member have a length of 20-80 cm, the number of said tubes is 1-200, and the tubes are distributed over different tube passes of the entire furnace tube.
In a second aspect, the present disclosure provides an anti-coking apparatus manufactured with the aforesaid preparation method.
In the present disclosure, the inner surface of the anti-coking apparatus contains an oxide film including chromium manganese oxide and metallic elements.
The inventors of the present disclosure have discovered through researches that the anti-coking apparatus of the present disclosure can alleviate or suppress the coking and carburization phenomena of the apparatus under high temperature, the reasons may be that after the apparatus is contacted with the low oxygen partial pressure gas by using the solution of the present disclosure, the Cr element and Mn element in the apparatus have higher activity of reacting with oxygen to form oxides than Fe element and/or Ni element, thus the chromium and manganese elements on the inner surface of the apparatus slowly oxidize at a low oxygen partial pressure condition, while the iron element and/or nickel element are not substantially oxidized; in addition, the oxygen partial pressure of the atmosphere is low, thus the oxidation process is very slow, such that a dense oxide film having a strong binding force with the apparatus substrate is formed on the inner surface of the apparatus in-situ, the oxide film will cover the Fe and Ni elements which have a catalytic action on the coking of said apparatus, so that the content of iron element and/or nickel element on the inner wall of said apparatus is reduced, the coking and carburization phenomena of the apparatus are alleviated or suppressed, the operational cycle of the apparatus is prolonged.
According to the present disclosure, the total content of Fe element and/or Ni element in the oxide film on the inner surface of the apparatus treated with the above method is low, such that the apparatus can suppress catalytic coking in the hydrocarbon cracking process or the aromatization process, extend the operational cycle of said apparatus, thereby satisfying the long-term service requirements of the apparatus.
In a third aspect, the present disclosure provides a use of the aforesaid anti-coking apparatus in at least one of a cracking furnace, a TLE and an aromatization reactor.
In the present disclosure, the feedstock for pyrolysis may be gaseous hydrocarbons or liquid hydrocarbons. Specifically, the gaseous hydrocarbons are at least one selected from the group consisting of ethane, propane, butane and liquefied petroleum gas; the liquid hydrocarbons are at least one selected from the group consisting of naphtha, gas condensate, hydrocracking tail oil and diesel.
