  • The cracking performance of ethylene plant was evaluated based on the design indexes and production data of cracking raw materials (naphtha and hydrogenated tail oil) in Fushun petrochemical ethylene plant. Firstly, the component, physical parameter and cracked gas composition of ethylene cracking feedstock were measured, and then the decomposition temperature, dilution ratio, pace time, cleaning cycle, oil price and fragmentation depth were compared. At the same time, the influence the properties of pyrolysis raw materials on the product yield was examined. The last step was to make a comparison between manufacturing data and design indicator, and to propose some concrete measures to optimize its system. The results demonstrated that the physical property indexes of naphtha and hydrogenation tail oil were within the range of allowable design, but their cracked gas yield exceeded the design value. The total yield of ethylene, diene, methane and hydrogen derived from cracking naphtha was 4.57% higher than the result of crackers originated in hydrogenation tail oil. The yield of ethylene and diene showed 0.44% and 0.63% rise respectively. However, C4, C5, C6-C8, C9 and fuel oil from cracking naphtha had relative lower yield (5.18%) in contrast to those from cracking hydrogenation tail oil.

  • In this paper, the adsorption behavior of polyoctadecyl acrylate (POA) in model crude oil on the surface of nano⁃SiO2 particles modified by methyl was investigated by performing molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The adsorption model of model crude oil including POA molecule on the surface of nano⁃SiO2 particles was constructed. The model crude oil consists of asphaltene, resin, aromatic hydrocarbons and alkanes. The surface of nano⁃SiO2 particles was modified with three different degree of methyl. Several parameters such as the adsorption energy, relative density distribution, the mean square displacement and radial distribution function were analyzed. The results show that the unmodified surface is firstly adsorbed by asphaltene of strong polarity while the surface of 100% methyl⁃modified is firstly adsorbed by n⁃alkanes. The surface of 50% methyl⁃modified particles is firstly adsorbed by aromatic hydrocarbons. The results also indicate that the surface of 50% methyl⁃modified particles is not only more conducive to the stable adsorption of POA molecules, but also conducive to POA molecules to form a better adsorption configuration. What’ more, on the surface of 50% methyl⁃modified particles, the interaction between POA molecule and C24H50 molecules is stronger, and the distribution of C24H50 molecules is more aggregated. Finally, the study of this paper provides a method for studying the mechanism of pour point depressants composed of polymer and inorganic nanoparticle and provides theoretical guidance for the experimental modification of nanometer particles in nano⁃hybrid pour point depressant.
