This invention discloses a pretreatment process for
dry gas from
ethylbenzene production. The steps are as follows: the
dry gas from
ethylbenzene production sequentially enters a
dry gas separator and
coalescer, a dry gas
water washing tower, a water-washed dry
gas cooler, and a water-washed dry gas separator to remove organic amines and / or
ammonia carried in the dry gas. The dry gas
water washing tower is arranged from bottom to top as a first
water washing section, a second water washing section, a third water washing section, ..., N water washing sections, where N≥2. A collection tank is set between two adjacent water washing sections. The bottom plate of the collection tank is equipped with a riser hole and a riser
pipe to connect the two adjacent water washing sections. Each water washing section is arranged from bottom to top as a
structured packing section and a water washing water
distributor. The dry gas water washing adopts a multi-stage water washing process. Each stage of water washing uses a water washing circulation pump to circulate the water washing water. A water washing
water filter is installed on the water washing
water circulation pipeline of each stage. The water washing water adopts a method of partial circulation, continuous
discharge, and continuous water replenishment. Using this invention, the amount of alkaline substances carried in the dry gas of
ethylbenzene production feedstock can be effectively removed.
