MTP (methanol to propylene) device and novel separation process thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to an MTP (methanol to propylene) separation device and a novel separation process adopted by the MTP device. The novel separation process comprises the steps that quenched reaction gas is pressurized by a compressor and undergoes washing and alkali wash treatment on a third compression section, a gas phase at the outlet of a fourth compression section goes to a depropanizer and a liquid phase goes to a debutanizer, water phases of separating tanks among the sections of the compressor return to a quench tower, and a hydrocarbon phase is sent to a separating tank at the outlet of the fourth compression section after being pressurized; the materials ejected from the debutanizer go to the depropanizer and the materials discharged from tower reactors enter a dehexanizer; a deethanizer compressor is arranged between a deethanizer and an oil absorption tower, the oil absorption tower adopts recycle propane or C4 as an absorbing solvent, fuel gas excluding C2 is obtained at the tower tops, the materials discharged from the tower reactors go to a stripping tower to recover the propane or C4 solvent, and the materials ejected from the stripping tower go to an ethylene rectification tower, thus obtaining the byproduct ethylene. The novel separation process has the effects that the process flow can be effectively optimized; the energy consumption of systems, the pipeline corrosion and the cost of investment can be effectively reduced.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the fields of coal chemical industry, natural gas chemical industry and the like, in particular to an MTP device and a novel separation process thereof. Background technique

[0002] Propylene is one of the most important basic organic raw materials, mainly used in the production of chemical products such as polypropylene, acrylonitrile, propylene oxide, cumene, butanol and octanol. With the sustained and rapid development of my country's economy, my country's demand for propylene and its downstream products has shown a substantial upward trend, and the problem of propylene shortage has become increasingly prominent. At present, propylene mainly comes from steam cracking ethylene units and catalytic cracking units. In the case of increasingly tight oil supply, people have developed a process for producing propylene from oxides, especially methanol.
