Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of oil refining and chemical industry, and more specifically, relates to a comprehensive recovery method and device for saturated light hydrocarbons, and more specifically to a device and method for recovering saturated light hydrocarbons from the atmospheric and vacuum distillation, hydrocracking, hydrofining, aromatics reforming and other devices in a refinery that are rich in saturated light hydrocarbons. Background Art
[0002] Saturated light hydrocarbons in refineries primarily come from atmospheric and vacuum unit overhead gas and mixed naphtha, overhead gas and crude hydrocarbons from the hydrogen sulfide stripping towers of various hydrocracking units, fuel gas from various hydrotreating units, disproportionated isomerization tail gas and pre-hydrogenated fuel gas from aromatics reformers, hydrogenation low-fraction PSA tail gas, reformer PSA tail gas, and hydrocracking membrane separation tail gas. Light hydrocarbon recovery from these streams primarily involves atmospheric and vacuum light hydrocarbon recovery and various hydrocracking absorption and stabilization systems to recover liquefied gas components such as C3 and C4. C2 is used in dry gas as fuel. With the development of integrated refining and chemical integration, further recovery of C2 from dry gas to provide lightweight ethylene feed for ethylene plants has gained importance. Chemical refineries with ethylene plants typically install new C2 recovery units to recover C2 from dry gas and feed the ethane-rich gas to the ethylene unit cracking furnaces as cracking feed, reducing external ethylene feed purchases and further improving the refinery's economic efficiency.
[0003] The conventional process setup involves recovering liquefied gas through absorption stabilization, and then recovering the C2 component through a C2 recovery unit that uses shallow cold oil absorption technology. Since the C2 recovery unit uses C4 as an absorbent to absorb the C2 component in the absorption tower, the C4 component and the C2 component are separated in advance in the upstream absorption and stabilization system. The C2 recovery unit needs to supplement with C4 as an absorbent to recover C2, which results in a secondary separation of the C2 / C4 components. Meanwhile, for the hydrocracking unit, the C4 component and the naphtha component are separated in the debutanizer / hydrogen sulfide stripper. To achieve the separation of the C2 and C3 components in the absorption and stabilization system, naphtha is used as an absorbent and mixed again in the absorption tower. To obtain the liquefied gas product, they need to be separated again in the stabilization tower, which is the secondary separation of the C4 component and the naphtha component. The secondary separation of key components increases separation energy consumption and the number of equipment. Since C2, C3 and C4 components can all be used as ethylene cracking materials, and C4 is also needed as an absorbent to recover C2 components, the necessity of setting up an absorption stabilization system is greatly reduced for chemical refineries that do not have C3 and C4 deep processing and comprehensive utilization equipment.
[0004] The present invention is proposed in order to realize the full recovery of saturated light hydrocarbons in all units of the plant, provide lightweight ethylene materials for the ethylene unit, optimize the component separation sequence, simplify the separation process, and reduce investment and energy consumption. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a comprehensive recovery device and method for saturated light hydrocarbons in the entire plant, which has a reasonable component separation sequence, reduced energy consumption and more optimized equipment quantity. Through this method, comprehensive recovery of saturated light hydrocarbons in atmospheric and vacuum units, various hydrocracking units, various hydrogen refining units and aromatics reforming units can be achieved, the operating conditions of the absorption tower can be optimized, and energy consumption can be reduced.
[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the first aspect of the present invention provides a comprehensive recovery method for saturated light hydrocarbons, the recovery method comprising:
[0007] (1) Gas phase pressurization I: The hydrotreated sulfur-rich gas is compressed and pressurized by the first feed gas compressor, cooled by the cooler I, and separated by the liquid separator I. The sulfur-rich and heavy component-rich gas is obtained at the top of the tank, and the sulfur-rich and heavy component crude hydrocarbons are obtained at the bottom of the tank;
[0008] (2) Naphtha stabilization in the whole plant: mixed naphtha, sulfur-containing and heavy component rich gas and sulfur-containing and heavy component crude hydrocarbon are sent to the stabilization tower for stabilization treatment. Stabilized naphtha is obtained at the bottom of the tower and divided into two parts. One part is used as the mixed naphtha product, and the top gas phase of the stabilization tower is obtained at the top of the tower. After condensation in the condenser, it is sent to the stabilization tower reflux tank to obtain the top rich gas of the stabilization tower reflux tank and the bottom liquid phase of the stabilization tower reflux tank;
[0009] (3) Gas phase pressure boosting II: The rich gas at the top of the stabilization tower reflux tank is sent to the second raw gas compressor for compression and pressure boosting, cooled in cooler II, and separated in separator II to obtain the rich gas at the top of separator II and the liquid phase at the bottom of separator II;
[0010] (4) Rich gas desulfurization: The rich gas at the top of the separator tank II passes through the superheater and is sent to the gas phase desulfurization tower, where it comes into contact with the lean amine liquid in reverse flow to remove hydrogen sulfide and obtain the rich gas from the gas phase desulfurization tower;
[0011] (5) Crude hydrocarbon desulfurization: The liquid phase at the bottom of the stabilization tower reflux tank is pressurized by the stabilization tower reflux pump and then divided into two parts. One part enters the desulfurization and demercaptan tower, and the liquid phase at the bottom of the separator tank II is pumped out by the crude hydrocarbon pump II and sent to the desulfurization and demercaptan tower. After removing hydrogen sulfide and mercaptan, crude hydrocarbon is obtained from the desulfurization and demercaptan tower.
[0012] (6) Gas phase pressurization III: The PSA tail gas is pressurized by the third raw gas compressor, cooled by cooler III, and separated by separator III to obtain a gas phase at the top of separator III and a liquid phase at the bottom of separator III;
[0013] (7) Gas-liquid balance: The rich gas from the gas phase desulfurization tower, the gas phase at the top of the separator III tank, and the tail gas separated by the hydrocracking membrane are mixed to obtain sulfur-free rich gas. The sulfur-free rich gas is cooled by the shallow cooler I and then enters the separator IV for separation to obtain the gas phase at the top of the separator IV tank and the liquid phase at the bottom of the separator IV tank;
[0014] (8) C1 / C2 separation: The gas phase at the top of the separator IV enters the absorption tower for C1 / C2 separation, wherein the liquid phase at the bottom of the separator III is extracted by the crude hydrocarbon pump III and mixed with the crude hydrocarbon of the desulfurization and demercaptan unit to obtain sulfur-free crude hydrocarbon, which is then cooled by the shallow cooler II and sent to the middle section of the absorption tower as the absorbent in the middle of the absorption tower. At least one of a mixture of C4, normal C4, isomeric C4 and liquefied gas is used as the absorbent at the top of the absorption tower to obtain the gas phase at the top of the absorption tower and the liquid phase at the bottom of the absorption tower. The liquid phase at the bottom of the absorption tower is returned to be mixed with the sulfur-free rich gas for gas-liquid equilibrium;
[0015] (9) C3 / C4 separation: The liquid phase at the bottom of separator IV is further separated by a demethanizer and a depropanizer to obtain an ethane-rich gas product and a mixed C4 product;
[0016] (10) Reabsorption: The gas phase at the top of the absorption tower is sent to the reabsorption tower to recover C3 and components above C3. Another part of the stabilized naphtha is used as the reabsorbent. The gas phase at the top of the reabsorption tower is produced as dry gas, and the liquid phase at the bottom of the reabsorption tower is returned to the stabilization tower.
[0017] In the present invention, the mixed naphtha comes from various hydrogen refining units, atmospheric and vacuum units, and the gas and liquid phases of various hydrogen-refined sulfur-containing fuel gases after passing through the second raw gas compressor and cooling and liquid separation, thereby reducing the carbon five and above components in the sulfur-containing fuel gas and reducing the risk of foaming in the gas phase desulfurization tower.

[0019] According to the present invention, the crude hydrocarbons in the reflux tank of the stabilization tower are pressurized by a reflux pump, and are sent to the desulfurization and demercaptan after the degree of supercooling is increased. After the gas phase in the reflux tank of the stabilization tower is pressurized by the first raw gas compressor, cooled by the cooler, and separated by the liquid separator, a part of the C3 / C4 components in the gas phase will be condensed into the liquid phase, thereby reducing the content of the heavy components in the gas phase and reducing the risk of foaming in the gas phase desulfurization tower. The liquid phase is pressurized by a pump, and is sent to the desulfurization and demercaptan after the degree of supercooling is increased.
[0020] According to the present invention, the hydrogenated low-fraction gas PSA tail gas and the reformed hydrogen PSA tail gas are pressurized by the third raw gas compressor, cooled by the cooler, and separated by the liquid separator, and the gas phase and the gas phase desulfurized rich gas are sent to the shallow cooler I together, and the liquid phase is pressurized by the pump and sent, together with the crude hydrocarbons after desulfurization and demercaptanization, through the shallow cooler to be cooled to 15°C to 20°C, and then sent to the middle section of the absorption tower.
[0021] According to the present invention, the cooled raw gas and the crude hydrocarbon at the bottom of the absorption tower pass through a shallow cooler together and are cooled to 15°C to 20°C.
