TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Propylene is an important organic chemical raw material, which has the characteristics of wide application and large market demand. In recent years, with the rapid development of chemical industry, manufacturing industry and other industries, the demand for propylene continues to rise. In recent years, with the development of propylene production technology and the commissioning of production devices, the production capacity of propylene has increased rapidly. Compared with the traditional petroleum chemical industry and coal chemical industry, the propane dehydrogenation process has the advantages of less project investment, high product yield, low production cost, wide raw material sources, and environmental friendliness, and has become a popular propylene synthesis process.

[0003] In a certain propane dehydrogenation process device with high market share, during the reactor heating and regeneration process, the fresh air is pressurized and preheated and then enters the heating furnace. The high-temperature gas after heating is mixed with the device injection gas and then goes to the reactor heating and regeneration process. The regeneration flue gas is then passed through the waste heat boiler system to produce superheated and saturated high-pressure steam. The allowable flue gas is directly discharged to the waste gas discharge system. The high-temperature gas at the outlet of the reaction vacuum pump is directly discharged into the waste heat boiler or the chimney.

[0004] In the existing propane dehydrogenation process device, the high-temperature gas at the outlet of the reaction vacuum pump is discharged into the waste heat boiler to recover heat or directly discharged into the chimney. A large amount of steam carried by the high-temperature gas is also discharged into the atmosphere with the flue gas. The sensible heat, latent heat and water of the large amount of steam are not recovered and utilized, resulting in increased energy consumption and water consumption of the device. SUMMARY
