Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of petrochemical industry, and more specifically to a superimposed etherification co-production device. Background Art

[0002] As the gasoline specifications in the world continue to improve, the demand for high-octane components has increased dramatically. Catalytic cracking and steam cracking C4 fractions are currently important resources for producing high-octane gasoline components. Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) can be obtained by etherification of isobutylene and methanol, which is an important anti-knock agent for the preparation of new formula gasoline. Dimerization of C4 olefins and subsequent hydrogenation can obtain multi-branched alkanes mainly composed of isooctane, whose composition is similar to that of isobutane-butene alkylation products, and is also an ideal clean gasoline blending component. At the same time, diisobutylene can also be used as a raw material for fine chemicals with good economic benefits. In the prior art, etherification and superposition reactions are generally carried out separately. The Petrochemical Research Institute has recently developed a new integrated superposition-etherification process that can produce MTBE and superposition products at the same time, and the ratio of MTBE to superposition products can be adjusted according to market needs. However, the isobutylene conversion rate of the prior art is only 80%-85%, and the remaining C4 after the reaction cannot be completely reacted because of isobutylene, resulting in the subsequent harsh process for the remaining isobutylene cannot be used. If the remaining C4 is used in the alkylation unit, it will lead to increased acid consumption and poor economic benefits. If the remaining C4 is used in the 1-butene unit, 1-butene products cannot be produced. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of the utility model is to avoid the shortcomings of the prior art, to simultaneously produce superimposed oil and methyl tert-butyl ether products from mixed C4 raw materials, to overcome the problems of low isobutylene conversion rate and high residual C4 isobutylene content in the production affecting subsequent use.

[0005] A superimposed etherification co-production device, comprising: a superimposed etherification reactor, a catalytic distillation tower, a methanol extraction tower, a methanol recovery tower, an MTBE product tower and a superimposed oil product tower;

[0006] Wherein, the stacked etherification reactor is connected to the catalytic distillation tower;

[0007] The top of the catalytic distillation tower is connected to the methanol extraction tower; the methanol extraction tower is cyclically connected to the methanol recovery tower;

[0008] The kettle of the catalytic distillation tower is connected to the MTBE product tower and the superimposed oil product tower in sequence;

[0009] The methanol recovery tower is also connected to the stacked etherification reactor.

[0010] Preferably, the above-mentioned superimposed etherification co-production device further comprises:

[0011] mixer;

[0012] The methanol recovery tower is connected to the superimposed etherification reactor through the mixer.

[0013] Preferably, the catalytic distillation tower is provided with a condenser 1 and a reboiler 1, and the catalytic distillation tower is connected to the methanol extraction tower through the condenser 1, and is connected to the MTBE product tower through the reboiler 1;

[0014] The methanol recovery tower is arranged between the second condenser and the second reboiler, the methanol recovery tower is connected to the mixer through the second condenser, and is connected to the methanol extraction tower through the second reboiler;

[0015] The MTBE product tower is provided with a condenser three and a reboiler three, and the MTBE product tower is connected to the superimposed oil product tower through the reboiler three;

[0016] The stacked oil product tower is provided with a condenser four and a reboiler four.

[0017] It can be seen from the above technical solution that compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] The utility model can expand the application scope of C4 after the mixed C4 is superposed and etherified, and aims at the process of producing superposed oil and methyl tert-butyl ether from mixed C4 raw materials, overcomes the problem that the isobutylene conversion rate is not high and the high isobutylene content of the produced residual C4 affects the subsequent use, and provides a connection method for the process of producing superposed oil and methyl tert-butyl ether from mixed C4. The superposed etherification reactor is used to carry out etherification and superposition reaction in the reactor, and then methanol is supplemented by catalytic distillation to make the isobutylene react completely, and then the methanol recovery system is used to complete the recycling of methanol, and the discharge of the catalytic distillation tower kettle enters the separation system to obtain methyl tert-butyl and superposed oil products.
