The utility model discloses a
system for increasing yield of light
hydrocarbon by recovering
hydrogen through a
membrane method. The
system comprises a heater, a membrane separator, a
water cooler, a gas-gas
heat exchanger, a condenser and a gas-liquid separator which are connected in sequence, a
raw material gas pipeline is arranged at one end of the heater; a
hydrogen product pipeline is arranged on the membrane separator; a light
hydrocarbon product pipeline is arranged at one end of the gas-liquid separator. According to the application, the high-temperature-resistant membrane separator is used for recovering
hydrogen on the
permeation side, and meanwhile, a
hydrocarbon dew point as high as possible is obtained on the non-
permeation side, and when the hydrocarbon
dew point is higher, the condensation
recovery rate of downstream light hydrocarbon is higher; meanwhile, the high-efficiency recycling rate of hydrogen and light hydrocarbon is realized. In addition, the gas-gas
heat exchanger arranged in the
system can recycle cold energy, the load of the condenser and the use amount of the
refrigerant are reduced, and therefore
energy consumption is further reduced.
