The invention discloses a start-up optimization method for an
aromatic hydrocarbon combination unit, and belongs to the technical field of
petrochemical engineering accessories. Comprising the following steps: S1, sequentially connecting a reformate
tower, a stripping
tower, a redistillation
tower, an adsorption feeding tank, an extract tower and a p-
xylene tower to extract a PX product; s2, leading out a first
reflux pipeline between the stripping tower and the redistillation tower, and connecting the first
reflux pipeline to an adsorption feeding tank; s3, in a start-up preheating stage, feeding a material at the bottom of the stripping tower to an adsorption feeding tank through a first
reflux pipeline, synchronously heating the redistillation tower and the p-
xylene tower at the moment, and heating the redistillation tower, the stripping tower and the extract tower in a peak shifting manner; and S4, after preheating is finished, closing the first reflux pipeline, recovering the material to be treated by the redistillation tower, feeding the material into the adsorption feeding tank, and continuously producing PX according to the flow of S1. Through
process optimization, the core problems that the C8 circulation temperature rise is blocked and the thermal joint
pressure difference is difficult to establish in the start-up stage are effectively solved, the operation steps are simplified, the risk of manual misoperation is reduced, the start-up period is remarkably shortened, the
energy consumption is reduced, and safety and
economic benefits are achieved.
