Figure 1 In the drawing direction, "inside" and "outside" refer to the outline of the device. In addition, the terms "first, second, third" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first, second, third" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present disclosure, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0025] like Figure 1As shown, the present disclosure provides a method for an absorption stabilization process, which includes: cooling the upstream product and performing a first separation to obtain a gas phase product and a liquid phase product; compressing and cooling the gas phase product and performing a second separation to obtain a rich gas phase and a condensed oil phase; allowing the rich gas phase, the supplementary absorbent and the liquid phase product to enter an absorption tower 7 for absorption treatment to obtain an absorption gas phase and an absorption oil phase; wherein the tower top pressure of the absorption treatment is 1.7 to 2.8 MPa (G); subjecting the absorption gas phase to a freezing separation device 8 for freezing separation to obtain a hydrogen-rich dry gas and condensed oil; subjecting the hydrogen-rich dry gas to a PSA Unit 9 is used for treatment, and the purified hydrogen obtained is sent to the hydrogen pipeline network, and the obtained PSA desorbed gas is discharged; the condensed oil is mixed with the condensed oil phase and then enters the desorption tower 11 for desorption treatment to obtain desorbed gas and desorbed oil phase; wherein the tower top pressure of the desorption treatment is 0.6-1.5 MPa (G); the desorbed gas is pressurized to 1.7-2.8 MPa (G) and then mixed with the gas phase product and the absorbed oil phase for the second separation; the desorbed oil phase is processed in turn by the stabilization tower 15 and the depropanizer 20 to obtain a propane product, a C4-C5 component product and a C6+ component product.

[0026] Through the above technical scheme, the present disclosure can improve the absorption performance of components above C3 by operating the absorption tank at a higher pressure, thereby reducing the amount of absorbent recycled and the energy consumption of the device; and can improve the desorption performance of components below C2 by operating the desorption tower at a lower pressure, so as to reduce the temperature during the desorption process and thereby reduce 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 thereby ensure the quality of the obtained product.

[0027] 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.

[0028] In one embodiment, the present disclosure first allows the upstream product to enter the reaction product cooler 1 for preliminary cooling, and then enter the reaction product separator 2 for the first separation. Among them, the reaction product cooler 1 and the reaction product separator 2 are conventionally selected in the art, and this application does not make special requirements, and only requires a device that can cool the upstream product and a device that can separate gas and liquid.

[0029] In one embodiment, the obtained gas phase product is pressurized to 1.9-3.0 MPa (G) by the rich gas compressor 3, and then sent to the low temperature hot water heat exchanger 4 for heat exchange, so that the temperature of the gas phase product is reduced to 75-95° C. The low temperature hot water heat exchanger 4 uses the gas phase product as a heat source and water as a cold source.

[0030] In one embodiment, the gas phase heat exchanged by the low-temperature hot water heat exchanger 4 is mixed with the absorption oil phase and the desorbed gas pressurized by the desorbed gas booster 12 to obtain a mixed feed; and the mixed feed is further cooled to 12-50° C. by a feed cooler 5.

[0031] Through the above-mentioned implementation, when the upstream product with a higher temperature is subjected to the first separation, 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 yield of dry gas, the present disclosure increases the pressure in the gas phase product through the rich gas compressor 3 to increase the solubility of the C3 component and components above C3 in the liquid phase product; and, the temperature of the gas phase product is reduced by the low-temperature hot water heat exchanger 4, thereby further increasing 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 5 and reduce the energy consumption of the entire system.

[0032] In one embodiment, the mixed feed cooled by the feed cooler 5 enters the oil-gas separator 6 for a second separation, wherein the oil-gas separator 6 used in the present disclosure is a conventional choice in the art, and the present application does not make any special requirements. In this embodiment, after the mixed feed after a series of temperature reduction and pressure increase is subjected to a second separation, 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 separated by the reaction product separator 2 and the supplementary absorbent to enter the absorption tower 7 from the upper part of the absorption tower 7; allowing the rich gas phase separated by the oil-gas separator 6 to enter the absorption tower 7 from the bottom of the absorption tower 7; 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 7 , and a gas distributor may be provided at the bottom of the absorption tower 7 .

[0035] Among them, the present disclosure sets 1 to 4 middle section coolers 10 in the middle of the absorption tower 7. Preferably, two middle section coolers 10 are set, and are respectively set at 1 / 3 and 2 / 3 of the absorption tower, with two fast tower plates floating up and down.

[0036] A plurality of trays are sequentially arranged in the absorption tower 7 from top to bottom. Specifically, the number of trays in the absorption tower 7 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 7 can further enhance the effect of countercurrent contact; the arrangement of the middle cooler 10 can ensure the stability of the temperature in the absorption tower 7; the arrangement of multiple plates can extend the residence time of the countercurrent contact 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 9 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 8 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 8, 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 11 uses cold feed from the top of the tower, and the feed temperature is 10-60°C, preferably 35-45°C; a first reboiler 13 is arranged in the middle of the desorption tower 11, and a second reboiler 14 is arranged at the bottom. The load of the first reboiler 13 is 10%-50% of the load of the second reboiler 14, 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 11 is 5-35.

[0042] Through the above implementation, the cold feed of the desorption tower can make the temperature of the mixed material gradually decrease 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 7 and the desorption tower 11 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 15 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 7 as the supplementary absorbent; and allowing the light component at the top of the stabilization tower to enter the depropanizer 20 for fractionation treatment to obtain the propane product and the C4-C5 component product.

[0045] At least part of the C6+ components at the bottom of the tower are heated in the stabilization tower reboiler 18 and then returned to the stabilization tower 15 to maintain the temperature stability of the stabilization tower.

[0046] The desorbed oil phase exchanges heat with the C6+ components at the bottom of the tower and then enters the stabilization tower 15 for treatment.

[0047] 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.

[0048] The operating conditions of the stabilization tower 15 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.

[0049] Among them, the light components at the top of the stabilization tower 15 are first cooled by the stabilization tower top oil and gas condenser 16 and then refluxed into the stabilization tower reflux tank 17, and a part of the reflux products are circulated to the stabilization tower 15, and another part of the reflux products enter the depropanizer 20.

[0050] The operating conditions of the depropanizer 20 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.

[0051] Wherein, a third reboiler 23 is provided at the bottom of the depropanizer.

[0052] The method further includes using the tower bottom C6+ component as a heat source for the first reboiler 13, the second reboiler 14 and the third reboiler 23, so that the tower bottom C6+ component can exchange heat with the absorption tower interruption material, the absorption tower bottom material and the depropanizer bottom material. In this embodiment, in order to further utilize the temperature of each section, the tower bottom C6+ component can firstly exchange heat with the desorption oil phase, and then sequentially pass through the second reboiler 14, the third reboiler 23 and the first reboiler 13 for heat exchange.

[0053] The top material of the depropanizer is cooled by the depropanizer top oil gas condenser 21 and then refluxed into the depropanizer reflux tank 22. A part of the reflux product is circulated to the depropanizer 20, and another part of the reflux product is discharged from the system as a propane product.

[0054] 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.

[0055] In another embodiment, the depropanizer 20 of the present disclosure can be replaced by a debutanizer, and in this case, 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 20 and the debutanizer can be flexibly replaced according to product requirements.
