INTRODUCTION:
In Petroleum Refinery Engineering, full range naphtha is defined as the fraction of
hydrocarbons in petroleum boiling between 30°C (85°F) and 200°C (395°F). It consists of a
complex mixture of hydrocarbon molecules generally having between 5 and 12 carbon atoms. It
typically constitutes 15–30% of crude oil, by weight. Light naphtha is the fraction boiling
between 30°C (85°F) and 90°C (195°F) and consists of molecules with 5–6 carbon atoms. Heavy
naphtha boils between 90°C (195°F) and 200°C (395°F) and consists of molecules with 6–12
carbons.
Naphtha is used primarily as feedstock for producing high octane gasoline (via the catalytic
reforming process). It is also used in the bitumen mining industry as a diluents, the
petrochemical industry for producing olefins in steam crackers, and the chemical industry for
solvent (cleaning) applications. Common products made with it include lighter fluid, fuel for
camp stoves, and some cleaning solvents. Light Naphtha is also used directly as a blending
component in the production of gasoline.
Heavy Straight Run Naphtha (HSRN) is the feed of hydrobon unit which is being run down after
separation from 101 Crude Distillation Unit.
Feed tanks of 102 Unit include 182 S – 61 & S – 511 where HSRN of Arabian light crude oil is
rundown from 101. HSRN of local crude oil is being rundown in 182 S – 62 from 101 which is
injected in 102 feed through 182FCV – 302. An intermediate storage tank 182 S – 512 is also
used as a feed tank during startup of the unit in which during normal operation 102 Heavy
Treated Naphtha (HTN) is being rundown for level controlling of the stripper column (102C – 4).
These feed tanks are drained for water before there use and are blanketed with Natural Gas in
order to avoid O2 and N2 contamination.
102 HP SYSTEM:
Feed pumps namely 102P – 01 A&B are used for supplying the HSRN from feed tanks to the
unit. Hydrogen rich gas stream with a purity of around 70-80 % is mixed with the HSRN. This
combine feed now enters into the shell side of combine feed exchangers 102E – 01 A To H
where all the feed is converted into vapors around a temperature of 520°F and is further
heated in charge heater 102F – 1 in order to achieve the reaction temperature of around 614 °F
and enters into reactor 102R – 1A.
Different reactions take place inside the reactor and flows down through the catalyst bed of
different sizes with catalyst S – 7 which is used Nickel – molybdenum based on alumina is used.
As the reactions taking place are exothermic reactions therefore a very little change in the
temperature across the catalyst bed takes place.
Reactor effluent now enters the combined feed/reactor effluent exchangers on the tube side,
where it is cooled to temperature of around 90°C (195°F).
The reactor effluent is then further cooled in the product condenser 102E – 2 to temperature of
around 150°F. Wash water (Condensate) is injected in the reactor effluent line to the product
condenser to dilute hydrogen chloride present and to prevent salt buildup in the tubes of the
condenser and form ammonium chloride.
The reactor effluent is further cooled in the product trim cooler 102E – 3 A &B where it enters
on the shell side Reactor effluent and injected water flows out of the product condenser at a
low temperature of around 100°F to ensure complete recovery of the naphtha.
The reactor effluent and injected water along with the all the impurities (H2O, H2S and NH3
gases) then flows to a product separator 102V – 2. A mesh blanket coalesce is provided in the
separator to ensure complete separation of gas, hydrocarbon liquid and water.
All the gases are supplied to a fuel gas vessel 177V – 4 from where fuel gas is supplied to all the
fuel units at a pressure of around 24 bar. Hydrocarbon are supplied to 102 LP system.
This product separator is provided with a water boot to collect the water injected. The water is
usually pressured, via interface level control, to a sour water sewer for disposal.
The stripper 102C – 4 is provided with 20 trays in total which are of valve type with tiffin trays
on the top of the column. The column has two sections with vapors on the top of the column
while re boiling stream on the bottom of the column maintaining the temperature of the
column.
The vapors are drawn off from the top of the column at a top temperature of around 260 °F
and a pressure of 6.8 bar is maintained in order to separate all the traces of H2S, H2O and NH3
from the naphtha to be treated to a stripper condenser 102E – 5 to stripper O/H trim cooler
102E – 6 which during the winter days when ambient temperature is low is bypassed and
transfers the stripper overhead condensed vapors to stripper overhead receiver vessel 102V – 5
where all the overhead condensed liquid is reflux to the stripper through stripper reflux pumps
102P – 04 A & B maintaining the purity and temperature of top of the column. A corrosion
inhibitor named as “Daracor-C” is injected into the overhead reflux line in order to prevent the
overhead corrosion in the stripper.
From bottom of the column two lines are drawn off. One is used as a re boiling stream while
other is used as a feed to platforming 103 unit.
Bottom temperature is controlled through re boiling stream where two re boiling pumps 102P –
03 A & B are used supplying the feed to reboiling furnace 102F – 2 maintaining a bottom
temperature of 430 °F in the stripper.
Another line from the bottom of the stripper is used as feed for 103 unit where it first transfer
its heat to stripper feed by entering into the tube side of stripper feed exchangers 102E – 04
A,B & C and then to 103 feed pumps 103P – 07 A & B. A line from the suction of feed pump
103P – 07 A is used for rundown of this heavy treated naphtha (H.T.N) into the intermediate
storage tank 182 S – 512 after passing through a double pipe exchanger 102E – 12A to a
rundown temperature of 100 °F.
SULFUR REMOVAL:-
The Sulfur is removed to prevent the platforming catalyst from poisoning. The required sulfur in
treated Naphtha must be less than 0.5 wt ppm to optimize the selectivity and stability
characteristics of the catalyst. Following reactions are involved during sulfur removing.
MERCAPTANTS
SULFIDE
DISULFIDE
THIOPENES
If a very high reaction temperature is provided then the chances of recombination of olefins to
sulfur increase which form mercaptants which is shown by the following reaction:
So, the reaction temperature between 600 °F – 645°F (315 °C – 340 °C) is suitable for
hydrogenation of olefins to avoid mercaptants formation. The sulfur recombination occurs at
temperature above 645 °F (340 °C). Average reactor temperature will give acceptable rates of
the desired hydrogenation reactions and will not result in a significant amount of
olefin/hydrogen sulfide recombination
PYRIDINE :
QUINOLINE :
METHYLAMINE:
OXYGEN REMOVAL :
Oxygenates are present in very rare quantity in naphtha. The oxygen is normally present in the
form of organic compounds such as alcohols and phenols. The oxygen is removed by combining
of oxygen hydrogen bond to form water and subsequent Hydrocarbon. The reaction is mostly
favored by both pressure and temperature. For high feed concentrations, lower space velocities
are required.
LINEAR OLEFINS:
CYCLIC OLEFINS:
HALIDE REMOVAL:
Organic Halides are removed as hydrogen halides during processing. Maximum halides are
removed about 90% but it is much less on operating conditions that are set for sulfur and
nitrogen removal. If the high concentration of halides are present in feed then corrosion
chances in downstream also increases. Periodically analysis should be carried out of hydro
treated naphtha for chlorine content, since this chloride level is used for proper chlorine
injection rate in platforming unit.
The impurities are found normally with used hydrotreating catalyst are arsenic, iron, lead
calcium, magnesium, silicon, sodium, and copper. The removal of metals from feed normally
occurs in plug flow fashion with respect to catalyst bed. The iron is present at top of catalyst as
iron sulfide. The arsenic is a permanent poison to platforming catalyst.
Removal of metals completely occurs at temperatures above 600 °F (315 °C) up to a metal
loading of 2 – 3wt% of the total catalyst. Above the maximum level, the catalyst begin
approaching the equilibrium saturation level rapidly, and metal breakthrough is likely to occur.
This results in mechanical problem in reactor and channeling.
INTRODUCTION:
The main function of the Platforming Unit is to upgrade low octane number straight run naphtha to
higher octane motor fuel blending components or gasoline (MS) by catalytically promoting specific
groups of chemical reactions
The Platforming application is also used to prepare feed stock for the production of specific aromatic
hydrocarbons namely High purity benzene, toluene, and mixed xylenes for BTX unit by the combination
of reforming, aromatic extraction, and fractionation.
This platforming application is also used for H2 production which is useful in supporting the operation of
reformer feed preparation units as well as other hydrotreating units. The light hydrocarbon gases, by-
products of the cracking reactions are added to refinery fuel gas systems. Butanes, other cracking by-
products, are commonly used in adjusting vapor pressures of gasoline pools.
Reforming can be Thermal or Catalytic. Thermal reforming is not preferred due to its lower conversion
and selectivity therefore catalytic reforming is used. In which longer chain molecules are converted to
high octane olefins, n-paraffin to iso paraffins and naphtenes to aromatics.
The reactions that take place in the Platforming unit are mostly endothermic, and must occur at
elevated temperatures in a hydrogen atmosphere to obtain optimum catalyst life and product
yields. If the conditions are unfavourable, product yields and catalyst life will be poor.
There are two process flow schemes in the platforming unit. First is the high pressure system
known as 103 HP System and the second is low pressure system called 103 LP System.
Feed enters into the platforming combine feed exchanger 103 E – 6 on the tube side. This
exchanger is a vertical heat exchanger which is also known as “Texas Tower”. Before entering
on the tube side a chemical named as “Perc” is injected in the feed line which contains chlorine
in it. This chemical is injected in order to maintain acidic reaction sites which are responsible for
the desired (De hydro cyclization and Isomerization) and undesired (Hydrocracking) reactions
and is maintained around 15 – 25 mole ppm. Over chloride injection is indicated by an increase
in Cracking reactions which add cock to the catalyst at an increased rate and also lower H 2
purity in recycle gas.
This H.T.N is leaves the exchanger at a temperature of 800 ˚F and transfers to furnace 103F – 3
which maintains a reaction temperature of 927 ˚F for the reactor 103R – 6 where a series of
reaction takes place. At the tube side outlet of 103E – 6 condensate is injected in order to to
redistribute the chloride through the whole catalyst bed. As these reactions are endothermic in
nature therefore temperature drops in the reactor at around 100 ˚F. This ∆T in the reactor is
closely monitored during operation. If the ∆T in the reactor increase from 100 ˚F, local naphtha
which is charged in the 102 Feed is stopped.
Due to temperature loss in 103R – 6 the reactor effluent is again heated and transfers into
another furnace 103F – 4 which maintains a reaction temperature of 927 ˚F for the reactor
103R – 7. In this reactor the endothermic reactions drops the temperature to around 40 ˚F.
Due to again temperature loss in 103R – 7 the reactor effluent is again heated and transfers
into another furnace 103F – 5 which maintains a reaction temperature of 927 ˚F for the reactor
103R – 8. In this reactor the endothermic reactions drops the temperature to around 10 ˚F.
In all these three reactors 103R – 6, 7 & 8 a catalyst R – 56 which is Platinum or rhenium based
on alumina base is used.
After 103R – 8 two streams of reactor effluent are withdrawn which are controlled through a
temperature controller 103TCV – 114. One is transferred on the tube side of debutanizer trim
cooler 103E – 13 where as other to the shell side of platforming combine feed exchanger 103 E
– 6 at a temperature of 900 ˚F and leaves the shell side at a temperature of 230 ˚F after
transferring its heat to the reactor feed on tube side.
The reactor effluent is further cooled in the platforming product trim cooler 103E – 9 A &B / C
& D where it enters on the shell side and is cooled to a temperature of around 90 °F.
The reactor flows to a product separator 103V – 9. A mesh blanket coalesce is provided in the
separator to ensure complete separation of H2 rich gas (purity 70-85 vol%) and platformate.
Some H2 gases are supplied to a fuel gas vessel 177V – 4 from where fuel gas is supplied to all
the fuel units at a pressure of around 24 bar. Most of the H2 gas is suppled to compressor
suction vessel 103V – 33 from where H2 after being compressed through compressors 103K – 1
A, B, C & D is supplied to 102 & 103 feed. Some compressed H2 is also stored in hydrogen
storage bottles namely 103 V -22, 23 & 31 from where H2 is used during startups.
From bottom of the vessel all the collected platformate is supplied to 103 LP system.
103 LP SYSTEM:
Un stabilized Platformate from the product separator is supplied to De butanizer Feed/ Bottom
exchanger 103E – 10 A, B & C at shell side and enters the Stabilizer or De – Butanizer Column
103C –10 on feed tray no 16 at a temperature of around 300 °F.
The De – Butanizer Column 103C –10 is provided with 32 trays in total which are of valve type
with tiffin trays on the top of the column. The column has two sections with vapors on the top
of the column while re boiling stream and product on the bottom of the column.
The vapors are drawn off from the top of the column at a top temperature of around 140 °F
and a pressure of 17.0 bar is maintained in order to separate all lighter hydrocarbons from the
platformate mainly the butane compound to a De butanizer condenser 103E – 14 which
transfers the De butanizer overhead condensed vapors to De butanizer overhead receiver
vessel 103V – 11 where the overhead condensed liquid is reflux to the De butanizer through De
butanizer reflux pumps 103P – 08 A & B maintaining the purity and temperature of top of the
column. From these reflux pumps the condensed liquid which can also be used as LPG is
transferred to 120 Propane Recovery Unit (PRU) where propane is purified and to be used in
Lube Process. Some overhead vapors in the vessel are also transferred to fuel gas vessel 177V –
4 from where fuel gas is supplied to all the fuel units
From bottom of the column three lines are drawn off. Two are used as a re boiling stream while
other is used as a rundown for the final product reformate.
Another line from the bottom of the De butanizer is used as a rundown for the final product
reformate which first transfers its heat to De butanizer feed by entering into the tube side of
debutanizer feed / bottom exchangers 103E – 10 A,B & C and then to platformate cooler 103E –
11. For further cooling this reformate is transferred to platformate trim coolers 103E – 12 A &B
and a double pipe exchanger 103E – 12 C bringing this reformate to a temperature of 35 ˚C
This reformate which is rundown has an R.V.P maintained at 6 – 8 while RON at 90 – 92. An IBP
of 40 ˚C (105˚F) and a maximum EBP of 180 ˚C (360˚F) is also maintain of the reformate. This
reformate is Rundown to storage tanks S – 16, 17, 18, 19 & 20. This reformate is blended with
light naphtha and a RON of 87.5 is blended for marketing of Gasoline (MS).
Dehydrogenation of Naphthenes
Dehydrocyclization of Paraffins
Hydrocracking
Demethylation
Dealkylation of Aromatics
DEHYDROGENATION OF NAPHTHENES:
The final step in the formation of aromatic from a naphthene is the dehydrogenation of a
cyclohexane. The reaction of a cyclohexane to the corresponding aromatic is extremely rapid
and essentially quantitative. Naphthenes are obviously the most desirable feed components
because the dehydrogenation reaction is easy to promote and produces by-product hydrogen,
Isomerization reactions result from carbonium ion intermediate reactions. These reactions are
promoted by an acidic catalyst function, and are only slightly dependent on operating pressure
DEHYDROCYCLIZATION OF PARAFFINS:
Dehydrocyclization of paraffins is the most difficult Platforming reaction to promote. It consists
of a very difficult molecular rearrangement from paraffin to a naphthene. In the case of light
paraffin, equilibrium considerations limit this reaction.
The paraffin cyclization step becomes easier as the molecular weight of the paraffin increases,
because of increased statistical probability for the formation of naphthene. Dehydrocyclization
is favored by low pressure and high temperatures. Both metal and acid catalyst functions are
needed to promote this reaction.
DEMETHYLATION:
Demethylation reactions generally occur only in very severe Platforming operations high
pressure and temperature. Under certain conditions it may occyr during the startup of a unit
following catalyst replacement or regenenration. The reaction is metal catalyzed and is favored
by high temperature and pressure. It can be inhibited by attenuation of the metal catalyst
function by addition of sulfur or a second metal.
