The invention relates to the technical field of
aromatic hydrocarbon separation and purification, in particular to a
system and process flow for removing C8 non-
aromatic hydrocarbon in
xylene through membrane separation, and the
system comprises a membrane separation unit, a feeding unit, a
permeation side
system, an interception side system, an adsorption
tower feeding
buffer tank outlet line and a
crossover line; the membrane separation unit is provided with a
membrane feeding pipeline, one end of the membrane separation unit is connected to an outlet of the membrane separation feeding
buffer tank, and the other end of the membrane separation unit is connected to an inlet side
pipe orifice of the separation pipeline; a
membrane feeding booster pump is arranged on the
membrane feeding pipeline; a spiral-wound membrane
assembly is arranged in the separation pipeline; the feeding unit is provided with a
xylene redistillation
tower top outlet line which is connected to an inlet of the membrane separation feeding
buffer tank from the
xylene redistillation
tower top. According to the membrane
separation process adopted by the method, the non-
aromatic hydrocarbon removal rate can be more than 98% under the operation conditions that the feeding pressure is 1.68 MPa, the
permeation side is 20 kPa and the interception side is 1.6 MPa, and the method has definite industrial feasibility and technical advantages.
