Problems solved by technology

[0004] Although pressure swing adsorption method, intercooler oil absorption method and cryogenic separation method have been developed at home and abroad to recover light hydrocarbons and achieved certain results, the disadvantage of pressure swing adsorption method is that the equipment is huge and the recovery rate of light hydrocarbons is not high. The product purity is low; the disadvantage of intercooler oil absorption method is low ethylene yield and high energy consumption; the disadvantage of cryogenic separation method is complicated process, high energy consumption and high operating cost

Abstract

The invention discloses the technology of separating and retrieving lighter hydrocarbons from refinery gas. The method comprises the following steps: compressing the refinery gas with compressor, separating the condensate water; then separating with steam separator. Using the method, the recovery ratios of ethene and ethane are up to 94%. The method can be used to return lighter hydrocarbons from refinery gas.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a process for separating and recovering light hydrocarbons from refinery dry gas. Background technique [0002] Refinery dry gas usually contains 8-20% ethylene and about 10% ethane, as well as useful components such as propylene and propane. But at present, most of the refinery dry gas is sent to the gas pipeline network as fuel gas, and some are even put into the torch for burning, resulting in a great waste of resources. [0003] If a suitable separation method is used to recover ethane and ethylene, the former can be used as cracking raw material for ethylene plant, and the latter can be used as petrochemical raw material. Therefore, the separation and recovery of light hydrocarbons from refinery dry gas has great economic and social benefits. [0004] Although pressure swing adsorption method, intercooler oil absorption method and cryogenic separation method have been developed at home and abroad to recover light hydroca...
