The invention discloses a catalytic
conversion method for converting low-quality heavy oil into light clean
fuel oil, which comprises: (1), introducing low-quality
raw material oil into a catalytic
cracking reactor having two reaction areas for performing a
cracking reaction, wherein the
reaction conditions in the catalytic
cracking reactor ensure the catalytic
wax oil obtained by the reaction is12 to 60 weight percent based on the weight of the low-quality
raw material oil; (2) introducing the catalytic
wax oil carrying catalyst particles into a reduced-pressure
distillation tower, and separating a catalytic
wax oil light fraction from the top of the
tower; (3) hydrogenating the catalytic wax oil light fraction to obtain hydrogenated catalytic wax oil; and (4) circulating the hydrogenated catalytic wax oil to a catalytic conversion device for further reaction to obtain a light
fuel oil target product. The method provided by the invention has the advantages that: due to the catalyticcracking of the low-quality heavy oil
raw material, the catalytic wax oil yield is high, and the
dry gas yield and cock yield are low; after
solid particle removal and hydrogenation, the obtained catalytic wax
oil can be introduced back to the catalytic cracking device for recycling, so the light oil yield of the whole process is increased by 5 to 15 percent and oil
slurry yield is reduced; and thus, the high-efficiency use of oil resources is realized.
