Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a coal tar processing system and method, and more particularly to a coal chemical oil fractionation heating system and method. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, the typical process for dephenolization of coal tar fractions in the coal tar processing industry involves heating the raw material in a furnace before it enters a dephenolization tower and undergoes steam stripping. Light hydrocarbons and phenolic oil are collected via a side stream. The heavy oil at the bottom of the tower is heated in a furnace and then enters a vacuum distillation tower for further steam stripping. Wash oil and anthracene oil are collected via a side stream, and coal tar pitch is collected at the bottom of the tower. All products are then stored in a tank farm. During this process, heavy aromatics and polycyclic aromatics from the gas-water separation unit are used as raw materials, and vacuum distillation is frequently used to separate light hydrocarbons, phenolic oil, wash oil, anthracene oil, and coal tar pitch. After the heavy aromatics and polycyclic aromatics are separated into light hydrocarbons and phenolic oil in the dephenolization tower, the wash oil and water in the reflux tank at the top of the vacuum distillation tower have very similar densities, making effective oil-water separation difficult.

[0003] Currently, the phenol removal process in all coal tar processing plants, both domestically and internationally, has not adequately addressed the problem of generating substantial amounts of wastewater. Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field to improve existing phenol removal processes, making new processes more suitable for coal tar processing and production, reducing the phenol content in wash oil, and decreasing the amount of phenol-containing wastewater discharged.

[0019] The asphalt pipeline at the bottom of the pressure reducing tower is connected to the asphalt tank area via the heavy oil pump at the bottom of the pressure reducing tower and the asphalt / raw material oil heat exchanger.

[0020] A method for heating coal chemical oil fractionation includes the following steps:

[0021] Step 1: The raw material heavy aromatics from the upstream tank area enters the centrifuge for solid-liquid-liquid three-phase separation. The aqueous phase flows by gravity to the phenol-ammonia water tank, and then is pumped out of the unit to the upstream coal gasification unit by the phenol-ammonia water pump. The oil phase flows by pressure to the raw material buffer tank.

[0022] Step 2: The aforementioned oil phase is pressurized by the feed pump and mixed with multi-hydrocarbon feedstock from the upstream tank area. After being heated by heat exchange in the oil / feed oil heat exchanger in the middle section of the dephenolization tower and the feed oil heater, it enters the dehydration tank. The gas phase at the top of the dehydration tank directly enters the top of the dephenolization tower. The liquid phase at the bottom of the dehydration tank is pressurized by the feed oil booster pump and then heat exchanged with the oil / feed oil heat exchanger in the middle section of the dephenolization tower, the asphalt / feed oil heat exchanger, and the oil / feed heat exchanger in the middle section of the vacuum tower before entering the lower part of the dephenolization tower.

[0023] Step 3: The vapor phase from the top of the dephenolization tower is cooled to 40°C by the top water cooler and then enters the top reflux tank for water separation and settling. The vapor phase pipeline at the top of the top reflux tank is connected to the top vacuum system to control the pressure at the top of the dephenolization tower at -0.03 MPaG. The non-condensable gas at the outlet of the vacuum pump is sent to the flare or fuel gas system. The wastewater from the top reflux tank flows by gravity to the phenol-ammonia water tank, and the oil phase, as a light hydrocarbon product, is sent to the light hydrocarbon tank area for storage by the top reflux pump.

[0024] Step 4: The reflux in the middle section of the dephenolization tower is drawn out from any tray in the middle section. After being cooled by the oil / feed oil heat exchanger in the middle section of the dephenolization tower, part of it is refluxed back to the tray above the aforementioned tray, and the other part is sent to the tank area or crude phenol extraction unit as phenol oil product after being cooled by the phenol oil water cooler.

[0025] Step 5: After the bottom oil of the dephenol removal tower is pressurized by the bottom heavy oil pump of the dephenol removal tower, part of it is heated by the bottom heater of the dephenol removal tower and returned to the dephenol removal tower, and the other part is heated by the vacuum feed heater and sent to the vacuum tower.

[0026] Step 6: The oil and gas at the top of the pressure reducing tower are cooled by the air cooler at the top of the pressure reducing tower and then enter the reflux tank at the top of the pressure reducing tower. The non-condensable gas is cooled by the water cooler at the top of the pressure reducing tower and then extracted by the top evacuation system and sent to the flare or fuel gas system. The pressure at the top of the pressure reducing tower is controlled at -0.08 MPaG.

[0027] Step 7: After the wash oil in the top reflux tank of the pressure reducing tower is pressurized by the top reflux pump, part of it is returned to the pressure reducing tower as reflux, and the other part is sent to the wash oil tank area for storage as wash oil product.

[0028] Step 8: The oil extracted from the middle section of the pressure reducing tower is pressurized by the oil pump in the middle section of the pressure reducing tower. After heat exchange in the oil / raw material heat exchanger in the middle section of the pressure reducing tower, part of it is returned to the pressure reducing tower as middle section reflux, and part of it is cooled by the anthracene oil air cooler and sent to the anthracene oil tank area for storage as anthracene oil product.

[0029] Step 9: The asphalt at the bottom of the tower is pressurized by the heavy oil pump at the bottom of the pressure reducing tower, cooled by the asphalt / raw material oil heat exchanger, and then sent to the asphalt tank area for storage.

[0030] By implementing the above technical solution, this application eliminates the need for stripping steam injection at the bottom of the dephenolization tower and vacuum distillation tower, thus avoiding dehydration in the reflux tank at the top of the vacuum distillation tower. Furthermore, by replacing the feed furnace of the dephenolization tower with a reboiler, a clear separation between phenolic oil and wash oil can be achieved, reducing the phenolic oil content in the wash oil and decreasing the amount of phenol-containing wastewater discharged. Replacing the feed heater of the dephenolization tower with a reboiler and eliminating the stripping steam injection of the dephenolization tower and vacuum distillation tower, these modifications reduce the discharge of phenol-containing wastewater and improve the quality of the wash oil product. From the perspective of energy conservation and environmental protection, this significantly saves on low-pressure steam usage, reduces wastewater discharge, and benefits future plant operation, lowering operating costs and resulting in considerable economic benefits.

[0064] Step 4: The reflux from the middle section of the dephenolization tower (C-101) is drawn from any tray in the middle section. After being cooled by the oil / feed oil heat exchanger (E-108) and the oil / feed oil heat exchanger (E-101) in the middle section of the dephenolization tower, part of it is refluxed back to the tray above the aforementioned tray, and the other part is sent to the tank area or crude phenol extraction unit after being cooled by the phenol oil water cooler (E-104A / B) as phenol oil product.

[0065] Step 5: The bottom oil of the dephenolization tower (C-101) is pressurized by the bottom heavy oil pump (P-104A / B). One part is heated by the bottom heater (F-101) and returned to the dephenolization tower (C-101), and the other part is heated by the vacuum feed heater (F-102) and sent to the vacuum tower (C-102).

[0066] Step 6: The oil and gas at the top of the pressure reducing tower (C-102) are cooled by the air cooler at the top of the pressure reducing tower (A-102A / B) and then enter the reflux tank at the top of the pressure reducing tower (D-103). The non-condensable gases are cooled by the water cooler at the top of the pressure reducing tower (E-106) and then extracted by the top evacuation system (PK-102) and sent to the flare or fuel gas system, controlling the pressure at the top of the pressure reducing tower to -0.08 MPaG.

[0067] Step 7: After the wash oil in the top reflux tank (D-103) of the pressure reducing tower is pressurized by the top reflux pump (P-109A / B), part of it is returned to the pressure reducing tower (C-102) as reflux, and the other part is sent to the wash oil tank area for storage as wash oil product.

[0068] Step 8: The oil extracted from the middle section of the pressure reducing tower (C-102) is pressurized by the middle section oil pump (P-107A / B), and after heat exchange in the middle section oil / raw material heat exchanger (E-107), part of it is returned to the pressure reducing tower (C-102) as middle section reflux, and part of it is cooled by the anthracene oil air cooler (A-101) and sent to the anthracene oil tank area for storage as anthracene oil product;

[0069] Step 9: The asphalt at the bottom of the tower is pressurized by the heavy oil pump at the bottom of the tower (P-108A / B), cooled by the asphalt / raw material oil heat exchanger (E-102A / B), and then sent to the asphalt tank area for storage.

[0070] This application eliminates the need for stripping steam injection at the bottom of the dephenolization tower and vacuum distillation tower, thus avoiding dehydration in the reflux tank at the top of the vacuum distillation tower. Furthermore, by replacing the feed furnace of the dephenolization tower with a reboiler, a clear separation between phenolic oil and wash oil can be achieved, reducing the phenolic oil content in the wash oil and decreasing the amount of phenol-containing wastewater discharged. By replacing the feed heater of the dephenolization tower with a reboiler and eliminating the stripping steam injection of the dephenolization tower and vacuum distillation tower, these modifications reduce the amount of phenol-containing wastewater discharged and improve the quality of the wash oil product.

[0071] The above-mentioned devices are all prior art, and their specific structures are not the inventive point of this application, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0072] The above description is merely an example for clearly illustrating this application and is not intended to limit the implementation of this application. Any obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this application are still within the protection scope of this application.
