    The high-value utilization of light cycle oil (LCO) and surplus diesel production capacity is of great significance for saving precious petroleum resources and improving the refining benefits. With developing new catalytic materials, optimizing metal systems and improving preparation methods, two special LCO hydro- conversion catalysts RIC-3 and RHC-100 were developed, which could convert LCO to clean diesel components and high octane gasoline, respectively. Focused on enhancing the suitability of the LCO hydro-conversion between catalyst properties and requirements of target reaction processes, such as hydrogenation of aromatic ring, ring opening of naphthenic ring, cracking of alkyl cyclic hydrocarbons and polymerization aromatics, the catalyst precision design platform was designed and constructed to improve the effectiveness, orientation and efficiency of catalyst, and the catalyst family with RIC-3 and RHC-100 as the core was formed to target the ring-opening and cracking reactions of PAHs. The results of commercial applications showed that the performance of LCO hydro-conversion, the selectivity of the target products, as well as the directional utilization of H2 were improved. Furthermore, the construction of the catalyst precision design platform and catalyst family will provide reference for LCO hydro-conversion to produce BTX.

    Using five kinds of sulfides with different structures as sulfurization agents, the oil-soluble organic molybdenum catalyst MACC as the research object, the effects of the sulfurization agent structure on the active center structure, morphology, distribution and particle size of the catalyst were investigated. The results showed that it was difficult for both dibenzothiophene and dimethyl sulfide to react with the catalyst to form active sites under the experimental conditions, and dodecylmercaptan, dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) and sublimated sulfur could reacted with the catalyst to form active centers. Furthermore, the active phase MoS2 formed with dodecylmercaptan as the sulfurization agent had a fewer stripes and higher dispersion than other two samples, while the samples sulfided by DMDS and sublimated sulfur had higher degree of sulfurization (~90%). The results of the simulated sulfurization reactions of catalyst MACC under the condition of mixed feed tank indicated that the sulfurization of dibenzothiophene could not be achieved, but the sulfurization of sublimated sulfur could be achieved to a high degree.

    Faced with the problems of insufficient isobutane and lack of alkylation oil in the initial srart-up of alkylation plant by sulphuric acid catalysis, the danger of “runaway temperature” will occur according to the traditional start-up standard. The simulation and sensitivity analysis of the reaction process were carried out by Aspen Plus software. The results showed that the maximum reaction temperature was 17 ℃ when the starting material contained 12.7% C4 olefin component. Therefore, a new start-up method of using n-butane to replace part of isobutane and all alkylated oil was put forward, which greatly reduced the requirements for start-up isobutane and alkylated oil, and a new “five step method” scheme for the initial start-up of the unit was established, making the initial start-up of the plant successful. The application results indicated that the new method was safe, reliable and stable, and had has a guiding significance for the initial start-up of alkylation units under non-standard conditions.

    The regeneration standpipe of an industrial methanol to olefins unit had the problem of poor catalyst transport, which led to unstable catalyst circulation, poor propylene and ethylene yield and product distribution.The flow state and pressure characteristics of gas-solid two-phase flow in the standpipe were analyzed by measuring the dynamic pressure and static pressure at different positions of the standpipe, and the reasons for the poor catalyst transport were discussed.The results showed that the main reason for the rapid degassing was the low amount of catalyst circulation in the regeneration standpipe.The catalyst flow patterns in the regeneration standpipe included stratified flow in the inclined pipe, thin phase flow in the top of the vertical pipe and dense phase flow in the lower part of the vertical pipe. Different flow patterns had different pressure characteristics, which could be used to identifythe flow patterns.In addition, the gas-solid linearvelocity in the standpipewas calculated, and the bubble direction was consistent with the analysis result of the flow patterns, which could be used as the basis for operation adjustment of the device.

    A steady-state model was established by Aspen Plus software for the isomerization reaction process of C8 aromatics in the second p-xylene (PX) unit of SINOPEC Hainan Petrochemical Corporation, andthe Rplug module was selected as the reactor model.The results of model validation showed that the simulated valueswere in good agreement with the actualindustrial calibration values, indicating that the prediction results of the model were reasonable and reliable. This model was used to further analyze the influence of key process operating parameters such as reaction temperature, pressure, and feed hydrogen-to-hydrocarbon ratio on the performance of isomerization reaction. The results showed that under the promise of meeting the requirements of isomerization activity, the adjustment of pressure and temperature should conduct simultaneously. The temperature and pressure had little effect on the yield of PX.Lower temperature, higher pressure and suitable ratio of hydrogen to hydrocarbon were favorablefor ethylbenzene (EB) conversion,while lower temperature, lower molar ratio of hydrogen and medium pressure were favorable for reducing C8 aromatics loss.Optimizing the ratio of hydrogen to hydrocarbon to 3.9 could maximize the conversion of EB and the generation of PX. The optimum reaction temperature was347℃, the pressurewas0.46 MPa, and hydrogen-to-hydrocarbon ratio was 3.9.The EB conversion, PX yield and PX mass flow rate could be effectively increased by adjusting the isomerization operation parameters according to the simulation results.

    Petrochemical plants are typical emissions sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), with the characteristics of multiple sources, wide distribution, large fluctuations, and a high proportion of fugitive emissions, making the monitoring and control difficult. A monitoring vehicle equipped with rapid response spectrometer was used to monitor the concentration and distribution of representative VOCs components, such as alkanes, olefins, and aromatics in the petrochemical plant. It was found that alkane pollution existed in all areas of the plant, due to continuous alkane emissions from 6 units and 10 storage tank areas. The distribution of olefin and aromatics pollution existed in a few areas. The mobile monitoring technology can be used to significantly improve the timeliness and spatial coverage, clarify the VOCs emission characteristics and pollution levels of different production facilities and storage tank areas in petrochemical plants, and provide reliable data support for subsequent VOCs control and the construction and optimization of online monitoring systems.
