  • Publication number: 20240076250
    Abstract: A fluidized catalytic conversion method for maximizing the production of propylene includes the steps of: 1) contacting a heavy feedstock oil with a catalytic conversion catalyst having a temperature of 650° C. or higher for reaction; 2) contacting a hydrocarbon oil feedstock having an olefin content of 50 wt % or more with the catalytic conversion catalyst after the reaction of step 1); 3) separating a first catalytic cracking distillate oil and a second catalytic cracking distillate oil from the resulting reaction products; 4) separating an olefin-rich stream from the first catalytic cracking distillate oil; and 5) recycling the olefin-rich stream. The method can effectively improve the yield of propylene and realize an effective utilization of petroleum resources.

  • Patent number: 11518949
    Abstract: A process for producing propylene and a low-sulfur fuel oil component, comprising the steps of contacting a heavy feedstock oil with a solvent for extraction separation to obtain a deasphalted oil and a deoiled asphalt; contacting the deasphalted oil and optionally a light feedstock oil with a catalytic conversion catalyst for reaction to obtain a reaction product comprising propylene; separating the reaction product to obtain a catalytic cracking distillate oil, and subjecting the catalytic cracking distillate oil to hydrodesulfurization to obtain a low-sulfur hydrogenated distillate oil, wherein the low-sulfur hydrogenated distillate oil and/or the deoiled asphalt is suitable for use as a fuel oil component. The process allows the conversion of saturated hydrocarbons in the heavy feedstock into propylene, eliminates the use of saturated hydrocarbons in the fuel oil component, and thus has better economic and social benefits.

  • Patent number: 11512259
    Abstract: A process for producing propylene and a low-sulfur fuel oil component, comprising the steps of: i) contacting a hydrocarbon-containing feedstock oil with a catalytic conversion catalyst for reaction under effective conditions in a catalytic conversion reactor in the absence of hydrogen to obtain a reaction product comprising propylene; ii) separating the reaction product from step i) to obtain a catalytic cracking distillate oil, and iii) subjecting the catalytic cracking distillate oil to hydrodesulfurization to obtain a low-sulfur hydrogenated distillate oil suitable for use as a fuel oil component. The process can greatly improve the propylene selectivity and propylene yield while producing more fuel oil components, significantly reduce the yield of dry gas and coke, and thus has better economic and social benefits.
