Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of petrochemical industry, and in particular to a production system and process of unsaturated hydrocarbons. Background Art

[0002] There are currently a variety of production processes for the preparation of unsaturated hydrocarbons, most of which rely on steam tube cracking technology, which has been widely used around the world due to its good cracking gas quality, long continuous production time and mature process equipment technology. However, steam tube cracking technology still has the following shortcomings in its fundamental structure and principle:

[0003] (1) The steam tube cracking method uses the heat released by the combustion of the fuel to indirectly exchange heat with the raw materials inside the metal tube wall to trigger the cracking reaction. It is difficult to significantly improve the reaction temperature, reaction time, and even the thermal efficiency of the reaction. (2) When the fuel and air are mixed and burned, a large amount of carbon dioxide, CO, and NO are generated. x The residual heat in the flue gas is not completely recycled, and the current technology still chooses to directly discharge the flue gas into the atmosphere; (3) Due to the constraints of being unable to increase the cracking temperature and unable to shorten the cracking residence time, the current reaction pressure of the cracking reaction is very low. The subsequent separation of unsaturated hydrocarbons requires the use of a compressor to compress the cracking gas to about 3.6Mpa to achieve the separation of light components. The compression process is very energy-consuming in the actual production process. How to reduce or even avoid compression energy consumption has also become a key research direction. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a production system and process for unsaturated hydrocarbons, which shortens the reaction residence time, increases the temperature and pressure of the cracking reaction, and reduces the compression energy consumption and heat exchange energy consumption required for subsequent separation by making the cracking raw materials directly contact with the high-temperature flue gas and adopting a conical reactor.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a production system of unsaturated hydrocarbons, which comprises: a combustion heat storage area, a cracking reaction area, a primary distillation area, a carbon dioxide recovery area, a deacidification area, a C2 / C3 fractionation area, a C2 hydrogenation area, a deep cooling area, and a cold separation area;

[0006] Wherein, the cracking reaction zone includes a conical reactor body and a quench heat exchanger connected to the lower end of the conical reactor body;

[0007] The outlet of the combustion heat storage zone is connected to the flue gas inlet of the cracking reaction zone, the outlet of the cracking reaction zone is connected to the inlet of the primary distillation zone, the primary distillation zone is provided with a first fraction outlet and a first heavy component outlet, the first fraction outlet is connected to the inlet of the carbon dioxide recovery zone, the outlet of the carbon dioxide recovery zone is connected to the inlet of the deacidification zone, the outlet of the deacidification zone is connected to the inlet of the C2 / C3 fractionation zone, and the C2 / C3 fractionation zone is provided with a second fraction outlet and a third fraction outlet;

[0008] The second fraction outlet is connected to the inlet of the C2 hydrogenation zone, the C2 hydrogenation zone outlet is connected to the inlet of the deep cold zone, the deep cold zone is provided with a main outlet and a first by-product outlet, the main outlet of the deep cold zone is connected to the inlet of the cold separation zone, and the cold separation zone is provided with a first product outlet and a second by-product outlet.

[0009] The existing steam tube cracking method is: furnace tubes and burners are respectively arranged in the cracking furnace, and the heat released by the combustion of fuel is transferred to the cracking raw materials in the furnace tubes through the furnace tubes, causing a cracking reaction, and the smoke generated by the combustion of fuel is directly discharged into the atmosphere.

[0010] Different from the prior art, the unsaturated hydrocarbon production system of the present invention directly mixes high-temperature flue gas with cracking raw materials for heat exchange, greatly improving the heat exchange efficiency and increasing the reaction pressure, reducing the compression energy consumption required for the subsequent separation of cracking gas; when directly mixed, the high-temperature flue gas can reduce the hydrocarbon partial pressure in the cracking reaction system, which can reduce steam consumption compared to the prior art. At the same time, the conical design of the reactor body also ensures an extremely short reaction residence time (millisecond level), short reaction time, high reaction pressure, which can break through the large-scale restrictions and increase the scale of the cracking reaction device. Since the raw materials and high-temperature flue gas are directly mixed for heat exchange, the remaining flue gas containing a large amount of carbon dioxide flows with the cracking gas, and the cracking gas contains a large amount of carbon dioxide, which is convenient for setting up a carbon dioxide recovery work area to capture and recover carbon dioxide in the cracking gas, which greatly reduces carbon emissions compared to the prior art.

Among them, the size of the conical reactor body from the feed end to the quencher (i.e., along the material flow direction) becomes narrower, and the conical design of the reactor body can speed up the flow rate of the cracking gas, thereby reducing the reaction residence time and reducing the occurrence of coking.

The flue gas temperature drops to 300-1000°C and then continues to drop after heat exchange. In addition, the primary distillation is used to preliminarily separate the heavier components in the cracked gas and further recycle the heat in the cracked gas.

[0031] The unsaturated hydrocarbon production process of the present invention enables the raw materials and high-temperature flue gas to directly contact each other in the reactor and quickly exchange heat, thereby greatly improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0032] In the above-mentioned unsaturated hydrocarbon production process, preferably, the unsaturated hydrocarbon production process is implemented using the above-mentioned unsaturated hydrocarbon production system. S1 of the unsaturated hydrocarbon production process is completed in the cracking reaction area of ​​the above-mentioned saturated hydrocarbon production system, wherein the direct contact between the raw material and the high-temperature flue gas occurs in the conical reactor body, and the product rapid cooling occurs in the rapid cooling heat exchanger.

When the pressure of the light component has reached or exceeded the standard value of the air pressure for carbon dioxide recovery and treatment, no compression is required, which can greatly save compression energy consumption.
