[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the present disclosure provides a method for an absorption stabilization process, which includes: subjecting an upstream product to a cooling, separation and pressure-increasing device to treatment to obtain a gas phase product and a liquid phase product; mixing the gas phase product, the desorbed gas and the absorbed oil phase to obtain a pre-treated material; wherein the pressure of the pre-treated material is 1.9 to 3.0 MPa (G); the number of stages of the cooling, separation and pressure-increasing device is two or more; cooling the pre-treated material to perform oil-gas separation to obtain a gas-rich phase and a condensed oil phase; allowing the gas-rich phase, the liquid phase product and the supplementary absorbent to enter an absorption tower 13 for absorption treatment to obtain an absorbed gas phase and the absorbed oil phase; wherein the absorption treatment The tower top pressure is 1.7-2.8 MPa (G); the absorption gas phase is subjected to freeze separation by a freeze separation device 14 to obtain hydrogen-rich dry gas and condensed oil; the hydrogen-rich dry gas is treated by a purification unit 15, and the obtained purified hydrogen is sent to a hydrogen pipeline network, and the obtained PSA desorbed gas is discharged; the condensed oil is mixed with the condensed oil phase and then enters a desorption tower 17 for desorption treatment to obtain the desorbed gas and desorbed oil phases; wherein the tower top pressure of the desorption treatment is 0.6-1.5 MPa (G); the desorbed oil phase is sequentially treated by a stabilization tower 20 and a depropanizer 25 to obtain a propane product, a C4-C5 component product and a C6+ component product.

[0024] Through the above technical scheme, the present disclosure can improve the absorption performance of components above C3 by operating the absorption tower at a higher pressure, thereby reducing the amount of absorbent recycled and the energy consumption of the device. The desorption performance of components below C2 can be improved by operating the desorption tower at a lower pressure, thereby reducing the temperature during the desorption process and reducing the energy consumption of the system. In addition, the upstream product is subjected to an absorption stabilization process under the differential pressure conditions formed between the absorption process and the desorption process, which can ensure a good separation effect and thus ensure the quality of the obtained product.

[0025] The upstream product used in the present disclosure refers to one or more of the products of a light hydrocarbon conversion unit, a catalytic cracking unit, a delayed coking unit, and a hydrocracking unit.

[0026] In one embodiment, each stage of the cooling and separation device in the present disclosure includes a cooler, a separator and a compressor; the outlet of the cooler is connected to the inlet of the separator; the gas phase outlet of the separator is connected to the inlet of the compressor, so that the material entering the cooling and separation device is first cooled by the cooler and then enters the separator for gas-liquid separation, and the obtained gas phase is pressurized by the compressor. Among them, the separator is a conventional choice in the field, and this application does not make special requirements. It only needs to ensure that the device can separate gas and liquid. For example, the separator of the present disclosure is a gas-liquid separation tower.

[0027] Among them, the number of stages of the cooling and separation device is preferably three, namely a first-stage cooling and separation boosting device, a second-stage cooling and separation boosting device and a third-stage cooling and separation boosting device.

[0028] In a specific embodiment, the present invention first allows the upstream product to enter a primary cooler 1 for preliminary cooling, and then enters a primary liquid separator 2 for separation to obtain a first gas phase and a first liquid phase, and the first gas phase is pressurized by a primary compressor 3; the pressurized first gas phase is cooled by a secondary cooler 4 and sent to a secondary liquid separator 5 for separation to obtain a second gas phase and a second liquid phase, and the second gas phase is pressurized by a secondary compressor 6; the pressurized second gas phase is mixed with the desorbed gas and sent to a tertiary cooler 7 for cooling, and then the cooled mixed material is sent to a tertiary liquid separator 8 for separation to obtain a third gas phase and a third liquid phase, and the third gas phase is pressurized to 1.9 to 3.0 MPa (G) by a tertiary compressor 9 and then heat exchanged by a low-temperature hot water heat exchanger 10; then the mixed material after heat exchange is mixed with the absorption oil phase to obtain a pretreated material, and the pretreated material is cooled to 12 to 60°C by a feed cooler 11.

[0029] The desorbed gas is returned to the first-stage cooling, separation and pressurizing device, the second-stage cooling, separation and pressurizing device, or the third-stage cooling, separation and pressurizing device.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the gas phase product obtained by the cooling, separation and pressurization device is mixed with the absorption oil after heat exchange in a low-temperature hot water heat exchanger 10 to obtain the pretreated material; and the pretreated material is cooled in a feed cooler 11.

[0031] Through the above-mentioned implementation, when the upstream product with a higher temperature is separated, the components in the upstream product will have more components mixed in the gas phase under high temperature conditions. Therefore, the gas phase product produced by separation contains not only H2, components below C2 and C2 components, but also C3 components and components above C3. In order to improve the quality and output of dry gas, the present invention increases the pressure of the gas phase product while reducing the temperature of the gas phase through a three-stage cooling separation device to increase the solubility of the C3 component and components above C3 in the liquid phase product; and, the temperature of the mixed gas phase is reduced by a low-temperature hot water heat exchanger 10, which can further increase the solubility of the C3 component and components above C3 in the liquid phase product. In addition, since the absorption oil phase and the desorbed gas are both produced at a relatively low temperature, the temperature of the mixed feed is also relatively low, which can reduce the load of the mixed feed through the feed cooler 11 and reduce the energy consumption of the entire system.

[0032] In one embodiment, the pre-treated material cooled by the feed cooler 11 enters the oil-gas separator 12 for oil-gas separation, wherein the oil-gas separator 12 used in the present disclosure is a conventional choice in the art, and this application does not make any special requirements. In this embodiment, after the pre-treated material undergoes a series of temperature reduction and pressure increase, more C3 components and components above C3 are dissolved in the oil phase, which can further ensure the quality of the dry gas in the gas-rich phase.

[0033] In one embodiment, the method further includes allowing the liquid phase product and the supplementary absorbent to enter the absorption tower 13 from the upper part of the absorption tower 13; allowing the rich gas phase separated by the oil-gas separator 12 to enter the absorption tower 13 from the bottom of the absorption tower 13; under the action of gravity, the liquid phase product and the supplementary absorbent are in countercurrent contact with the rich gas phase.

[0034] In order to enhance the effect of countercurrent contact, a liquid product injection device and a supplementary absorbent injection device may be provided at the upper portion of the absorption tower 13 , and a gas distributor may be provided at the bottom of the absorption tower 13 .

[0035] Among them, the present disclosure sets 1 to 4 middle section coolers 16 in the middle of the absorption tower 13. Preferably, two middle section coolers 16 are set, and are respectively set at 1 / 3 and 2 / 3 of the absorption tower, with two tower plates floating up and down.

[0036] A plurality of trays are sequentially arranged in the absorption tower 13 from top to bottom. Specifically, the number of trays in the absorption tower 13 is 5 to 30, preferably 8 to 20.

[0037] In this embodiment, by countercurrent contact between the rich gas phase and the liquid phase product and the supplementary absorbent, a small amount of C3 components and components above C3 in the rich gas phase can be further reduced, thereby further improving the quality of the dry gas. In addition, the selective arrangement of an injection device and a gas distributor in the absorption tower 13 can further enhance the effect of countercurrent contact; the arrangement of the middle cooler 16 can ensure the stability of the temperature in the absorption tower 13; the arrangement of multiple plates can extend the countercurrent contact time between the gas phase and the liquid phase, thereby improving the absorption effect. In addition, through the above arrangement, the conditions for the absorption treatment can be maintained at a tower bottom temperature of 12 to 60°C, preferably 15 to 42°C; the tower top pressure is preferably 2.0 to 2.7 MPa (G), and more preferably 2.1 to 2.6 MPa (G). In this embodiment, the absorption treatment is carried out under the above conditions, which can avoid excessive absorption in the absorption treatment, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the device while ensuring the absorption treatment effect.

[0038] The purification unit 15 used in the present disclosure is a conventional choice in the art, and this application does not make special requirements. For example, the purification unit used in the present disclosure is a PSA unit. The purity of the hydrogen obtained after treatment by the PSA unit can reach more than 99v%, which can meet the use conditions of most hydrogen-using devices.

[0039] In one embodiment, the freezing separation device 14 used in the present disclosure includes a hydrogen-rich dry gas freezer and an aromatic hydrocarbon recovery tank. When the hydrogen-rich dry gas enters the freezing separation device 14, it first passes through the hydrogen-rich dry gas freezer to rapidly reduce the temperature, wherein the aromatic hydrocarbons brought out by the hydrogen-rich dry gas are condensed at low temperature, and the condensed aromatic hydrocarbons enter the aromatic hydrocarbon recovery tank to obtain condensed oil. The freezing separation temperature is 4 to 20°C, preferably 6 to 12°C. In this embodiment, the cold source used by the hydrogen-rich dry gas freezer can be a heat exchanger with chilled water as the cold source, or it can be an ammonia or propane, propylene, ethylene refrigerator, preferably a heat exchanger with chilled water as the cold source.

[0040] In one embodiment, the desorption tower 17 uses cold feed from the top of the tower, and the feed temperature is 10-60°C, preferably 35-45°C; a first reboiler 18 is arranged in the middle of the desorption tower 17, and a second reboiler 19 is arranged at the bottom. The load of the first reboiler 18 is 10%-50% of the load of the second reboiler 19, preferably 30%.

[0041] In one embodiment, the conditions for the desorption treatment include: the bottom temperature is 100-140°C, preferably 110-130°C; the top pressure is preferably 0.9-1.3 MPa(G), more preferably 1.05-1.2 MPa(G); the theoretical plate number of the desorption tower 17 is 5-35.

[0042] Through the above implementation, the cold feed of the desorption tower 17 can make the mixed material gradually cool down during the process of running from the bottom of the tower to the top of the tower, thereby preventing the components therein from being entrained by the desorption gas, thereby ensuring the quality of the liquefied gas and C6+ component products.

[0043] In one embodiment, the ratio of the operating pressures of the absorption tower 13 and the desorption tower 17 is (1.1-3.1):1, preferably (1.8-2.8):1, and more preferably (2-2.6):1. In this embodiment, by the pressure difference generated between the absorption process and the desorption process, the C3 component and the components above C3 can be almost completely absorbed by the oil phase during the absorption process, so as to further improve the quality of the dry gas; during the desorption process, the small amount of components below C2 and C2 components absorbed in the oil phase are separated from the oil phase, so as to further improve the quality of the liquefied gas and C6+ component products.

[0044] In one embodiment, the method further includes: subjecting the desorbed oil phase to treatment in a stabilization tower 20 to obtain a light component at the top of the stabilization tower and a C6+ component at the bottom of the tower; separating the C6+ component at the bottom of the tower into at least a first C6+ component and a second C6+ component; discharging the first C6+ component as the C6+ component product; allowing the second C6+ component to enter the absorption tower 13 as the supplementary absorbent; and allowing the light component at the top of the stabilization tower to enter the depropanizer 25 for fractionation treatment to obtain the propane product and the C4-C5 component product.

[0045] Wherein, a mid-section cooler 16 is arranged on the pipeline when the second C6+ component enters the absorption tower 13 as the supplementary absorbent, so as to ensure that the temperature of the supplementary absorbent drops to 4-20°C, preferably 6-12°C.

[0046] Wherein, at least part of the C6+ components at the bottom of the tower are sent to the stabilization tower reboiler 23 for heating and then returned to the stabilization tower 20 for treatment.

[0047] The desorbed oil phase exchanges heat with the C6+ component and then enters the stabilization tower 20 for treatment.

[0048] Among them, the C6+ component product, the bottom C6+ component, the first C6+ component and the second C6+ component are mainly composed of C6~C9 components; the top light component is mainly composed of C3~C5 components.

[0049] The operating conditions of the stabilization tower 20 include: a tower top pressure of 1.0-1.4 MPa (G), a tower top temperature of 35-45° C., and a tower bottom temperature of 180-250° C.

[0050] Among them, the light components at the top of the stabilization tower 20 are first cooled by the stabilization tower top oil and gas condenser 21 and then refluxed into the stabilization tower reflux tank 22, and a part of the reflux products are circulated to the stabilization tower 20, and another part of the reflux products enter the depropanizer 25.

[0051] The operating conditions of the depropanizer 25 include: a tower top pressure of 1.2-1.6 MPa (G), a tower top temperature of 35-45° C., and a tower bottom temperature of 90-97° C.

[0052] Wherein, a third reboiler 28 is provided at the bottom of the depropanizer.

[0053] The method further includes, after the tower bottom C6+ component is heat exchanged with the desorbed oil phase, the heat source is used for the first reboiler 18, the second reboiler 19 and the third reboiler 28. In this embodiment, in order to further utilize the temperature of each section, the tower bottom C6+ component can be heat exchanged with the desorbed oil phase first, and then heat exchanged through the second reboiler 19, the third reboiler 28 and the first reboiler 18 in sequence.

[0054] The top material of the depropanizer is cooled by the depropanizer top oil gas condenser 26 and then refluxed into the depropanizer reflux tank 27. A part of the reflux product is circulated to the depropanizer 25, and another part of the reflux product is discharged from the system as a propane product.

[0055] The system used in the present disclosure also includes a low-temperature hot water system for recovering low-temperature heat in petrochemical equipment. The recovered energy can be used for heating equipment and pipelines or for power generation.

[0056] In another embodiment, the depropanizer 25 of the present disclosure can be replaced by a debutanizer, and another portion of the reflux product is processed in the debutanizer to obtain C3-C4 component products and C5 component products. In this embodiment, the depropanizer 25 and the debutanizer can be flexibly replaced according to product requirements.
