Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a gas separation and recovery technology, and in particular to a comprehensive recovery and utilization process and system for regulating the gradients of multiple refinery gases. Background Art
[0002] As the trend of crude oil becoming inferior and heavy becomes more and more obvious, and refineries are constantly developing towards large-scale, integrated, base-based and clean directions, in order to achieve the goal of "reducing costs, improving quality and increasing efficiency" for enterprises, how to efficiently utilize the high-value hydrogen and light hydrocarbon resources in refinery gas has become the focus of attention and research in the refining industry. At present, most refineries' refinery gas rich in hydrogen and light hydrocarbons is usually used as fuel gas, and hydrogen and light hydrocarbons are important raw materials in processes such as hydrogenation and liquefied gas production. From the perspective of chemical thermodynamics, the heat absorbed by the hydrogen component from room temperature to the ignition point of about 500℃ is more than 6 times that of the methane component, but the heat released during the combustion process is only about 1 / 3 of that of methane. Therefore, the use of refinery gas as fuel not only causes the waste of high-value raw materials, but also causes a lot of energy waste. It is of great significance to classify and recover the components in refinery gas for high-value utilization to reduce costs and increase efficiency for enterprises.
[0003] In the process of separation and recovery of refinery gas, the traditional separation, purification and recovery processes mainly include compression condensation, pressure swing adsorption, membrane separation and coupling methods of several technologies. Due to the wide variety of refinery gases, the content of hydrogen and light hydrocarbon components varies greatly, and the recovery value of each component is greatly affected by market raw material price fluctuations. The traditional recovery process cannot meet the actual needs of effectively recovering a variety of refinery gases with different component contents. In addition, the light hydrocarbon and hydrogen recovery processes in the traditional coupling process are often embedded in each other's recovery process many times. The hydrogen recovery and light hydrocarbon recovery operations are complex and have a great influence on each other. It is impossible to flexibly adjust the recovery of hydrogen or light hydrocarbons separately according to the market value of the product. Therefore, in the process of separation and recovery of various refinery gases, it is urgently necessary to develop a process that can perform gradient recovery and utilization of various refinery gases and can flexibly adjust the recovery process according to the market value of the product. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to propose a process and system for adjusting the gradient comprehensive recycling of multiple refinery gases in response to the many problems existing in the above-mentioned refinery gas recovery. The coupled processes of hydrogen and light hydrocarbon recovery of multiple refinery gases in this separation process and system are relatively independent, so that the hydrogen and light hydrocarbon recovery processes can promote each other and can be produced independently of each other, so that the recycling process can be flexibly adjusted with the fluctuation of product market prices. At the same time, according to the different hydrogen and light hydrocarbon compositions of the various refinery gases, they are classified so that the process has better adaptability to the fluctuation of refinery gas composition. The recovery process uses membrane separation technology and compression condensation technology to synchronously utilize the bidirectional enrichment gradient and the tail gas recycling of each logistics stream, which not only greatly improves the separation efficiency and recovery rate, but also reduces the separation energy consumption.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a comprehensive recovery and utilization process for adjusting multiple refinery gas gradients, comprising the following steps:
[0006] First, according to the different contents of hydrogen and light hydrocarbons, multiple refinery gases are divided into two categories: hydrogen-rich refinery gas and hydrogen-poor refinery gas. The high-concentration hydrogen-rich gas f-1, medium-concentration hydrogen-rich gas f-2, and low-concentration hydrogen-rich gas f-3 in the hydrogen-rich refinery gas are pressurized by the first compressor, the second compressor, and the third compressor respectively, and then enter the first pretreatment unit, the second pretreatment unit, and the third pretreatment unit respectively to remove liquid mist, dust and H2S impurities, and then adjust the temperature to 40-100°C before entering the high-concentration The gas f-4 treated by the first pretreatment unit is divided into two streams, gas f-5 and gas f-6, by the high-concentration hydrogen-rich membrane separation component. The gas f-5 is a hydrogen product gas with a hydrogen content of more than 90%, which can be used as a raw material for diesel hydrogenation or enter the hydrogen pipeline network (hydrogen-rich pipeline network). The light hydrocarbon-enriched gas f-6 is mixed with the gas f-7 treated by the second pretreatment unit and enters the medium-concentration hydrogen-rich membrane separation component. In the component, the medium-concentration hydrogen-rich membrane separation component is divided into two gas streams f-8 and gas f-9. Gas f-8 is a hydrogen product gas with a hydrogen content of more than 90%, which is mixed with gas f-5 as a process raw material for diesel hydrogenation or enters the hydrogen pipeline network (hydrogen-rich pipeline network). The light hydrocarbon secondary enriched gas f-9 enters the low-concentration hydrogen-rich membrane separation component; the low-concentration hydrogen-rich gas f-3 is pressurized by the third compressor and mixed with the tail gas f-10 after the light hydrocarbons are recovered by the first compression and condensation unit of the hydrogen-poor refinery gas to enter the third pretreatment The pretreated gas f-11 enters the low-concentration hydrogen-rich membrane separation component, and is divided into two streams, gas f-12 and gas f-13, by the low-concentration hydrogen-rich membrane separation component. Gas f-12 is a high-concentration hydrogen-rich gas with a hydrogen content of more than 60%, and is returned to the high-concentration hydrogen-rich membrane separation component or the medium-concentration hydrogen-rich membrane separation component for recycling; gas f-13 is a hydrocarbon-rich gas produced as a by-product of the hydrogen separation unit and can be used directly as fuel gas, or further separated from C2+ light hydrocarbons and methane to further recover light hydrocarbons.
[0007] Then, the hydrocarbon-rich gas f-13 produced as a by-product of the hydrogen separation unit enters the light hydrocarbon separation unit, and is divided into two gases f-14 and gas f-15 through the hydrocarbon-rich membrane separation component. Gas f-14 is methane-rich gas used as fuel gas, and gas f-15 is C2+-rich gas that is passed through the second compression and condensation unit to recover light hydrocarbons.

[0010] Furthermore, the gas f-5 is a hydrogen product gas with a hydrogen content of more than 90%, which can be used as a raw material for processes such as diesel hydrogenation or enter a hydrogen pipeline network (hydrogen-rich pipeline network). Unless otherwise specified, % in this article refers to volume percentage.
[0011] Furthermore, the gas f-8 is a hydrogen product gas with a hydrogen content of more than 90%, which is mixed with the gas f-5 as a raw material for processes such as diesel hydrogenation or enters a hydrogen pipeline network (hydrogen-rich pipeline network).

Conversely, the light hydrocarbon recovery unit can be opened to recover C2+ light hydrocarbons, and the high / medium / low concentration hydrogen separation membrane components can be flexibly entered according to the different gas compositions of the enterprise's refinery. This process can flexibly adjust the process recovery operation according to the fluctuations in market product value and product composition, so as to achieve flexible adjustment of economical production by enterprises.

[0042]
[0043] Specifically, the process for adjusting the gradient of multiple refinery gases for comprehensive recycling and utilization is as shown in Question 1, and includes the following steps: First, multiple refinery gases are classified according to the different contents of hydrogen and light hydrocarbons, diesel reformed low-fraction gas is high-concentration hydrogen-rich gas f-1, hydrogen isomerization dry gas is medium-concentration hydrogen-rich gas f-2, gas cabinet gas is low-concentration hydrogen-rich gas f-3, and reformed dry gas is hydrogen-poor gas. After the high-concentration hydrogen-rich gas f-1 is pressurized to 2.2MPaG by the first compressor 11, liquid mist, dust and H2S impurities are removed by the first pretreatment unit 21, and the gas f-4 after the temperature is adjusted to 75°C enters the high-concentration hydrogen-rich membrane separation component 41, and a product gas f-5 with a H2 concentration of 98.63vol% is obtained on one side of the membrane 41, and a gas f-6 with a light hydrocarbon concentration of 22.03vol% and a hydrogen concentration of 66.98vol% is obtained on the other side.

On one side of the membrane of the low-concentration hydrogen-rich membrane separation component 43, a gas f-12 with a H2 concentration of 84.93 vol% is obtained and circulated back to the inlet of the first compressor 11, and on the other side, a gas f-13 with a C2+ light hydrocarbon concentration of 49.78 vol% and a hydrogen concentration of 9.09 vol% is obtained. The hydrocarbon-rich gas produced as a by-product of the hydrogen separation unit can be directly used as fuel gas, or further separated from C2+ light hydrocarbons and methane to further recover light hydrocarbons.
