Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of refinery dry gas processing, and in particular to a method for recovering refinery dry gas by using a cryogenic oil absorption method. Background Art
[0002] Refinery dry gas is primarily derived from the secondary processing of crude oil, such as catalytic cracking, thermal cracking, delayed coking, and hydrocracking. Currently, most refineries still burn refinery dry gas as fuel, which has low utilization value, causes significant resource waste, and pollutes the environment.
[0003] Catalytic dry gas generally contains a high ethylene content and is considered unsaturated dry gas. Saturated dry gas typically comes from PSA desorption gas, hydrogenation dry gas, and reforming dry gas. Saturated dry gas contains high ethane and propane content, while ethylene and propylene content is very low. Therefore, the composition and application of the concentrated gas after saturated and unsaturated dry gas recovery are very different.
[0004] Ethane is an ideal cracking feedstock. During the steam cracking process, a significant portion is converted into ethylene. Recovering ethane from refinery dry gas and routing it to an ethylene plant not only fully utilizes refinery off-gas resources but also reduces cracking feedstock costs, demonstrating the advantages of integrated refining and chemical operations. As an important organic chemical raw material, directly recovering ethylene from refinery dry gas offers significant economic benefits.
[0005] Currently, the most commonly used methods for refinery dry gas recovery include cryogenic separation, pressure swing adsorption (PSA), and oil absorption. Cryogenic separation is a mature process with high recovery rates, but it requires significant investment and high energy consumption, making it suitable for large-scale dry gas recovery. Pressure swing adsorption offers low energy consumption, but also lower recovery rates, poor operational stability, and high impurity content in the product gas. Oil absorption offers a simple process, stable operation, high recovery rates, and low energy consumption. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for recovering refinery dry gas by a cryogenic oil absorption method with a simple process, high recovery rate and low energy consumption.
[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for recovering refinery dry gas by using a cryogenic oil absorption method, the method comprising:
[0008] (1) performing acid gas removal treatment on refinery dry gas to obtain a first treated gas;
[0009] (2) introducing the first treatment gas into a deoxidation reactor for deoxidation to obtain a second treatment gas;
[0010] (3) cooling and gas-liquid separation of the second processed gas in sequence to obtain a third processed gas and condensate;
[0011] (4) introducing the third treated gas into a demethanizer without a condenser for a first separation treatment to obtain a bottom liquid phase I, wherein the temperature of the third treated gas introduced into the demethanizer is -70°C to -110°C;
[0012] (5) introducing the bottom liquid phase I into a deethanizer provided with a partial condenser for a second separation treatment to obtain a bottom liquid phase II;
[0013] (6) introducing the bottom liquid phase II into a depropanizer equipped with a full condenser for a third separation treatment to obtain a top liquid phase I and a bottom liquid phase III that can be used as a light hydrocarbon product; and recycling at least a portion of the top liquid phase I back to the top of the demethanizer as an absorbent.
[0014] The method of the present invention has a simple process, a high recovery rate, and low energy consumption. It can utilize ethylene and propylene refrigerators of an ethylene plant to reduce investment and energy consumption, and is particularly suitable for recovering refinery dry gas in integrated refining and chemical enterprises.
[0015] At the same time, the method of the present invention also has the following advantages:
[0016] (1) In the method of the present invention, a condensate stripping tower is used to remove heavy components from the dry gas condensate, thereby reducing the load of subsequent drying and separation;
[0017] (2) In the method of the present invention, the demethanizer is not provided with a condenser, which reduces the consumption of cooling capacity. The light hydrocarbons in the liquid phase at the top of the depropanizer are used as the absorbent, and no external absorbent is required;
[0018] (3) In the method of the present invention, the required cooling capacity can be utilized by the ethylene and propylene refrigeration compressors of the ethylene plant, without the need for an expander, resulting in low investment and simple operation;
[0019] (4) The method of the present invention adopts cryogenic temperature and oil absorption technology, with low energy consumption and high recovery rate.
[0020] (5) In the method of the present invention, if the feedstock is saturated dry gas, the obtained C2 enriched gas product is ethane-rich gas, which can be directly sent to the cracking furnace of an ethylene plant as a high-quality cracking feed. If the feedstock is unsaturated dry gas, the obtained C2 enriched gas product is ethylene-rich gas, which can be sent to the separation system of an ethylene plant or directly passed through an ethylene distillation tower to obtain polymerization-grade ethylene and high-quality cracking feedstock ethane.
