Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a C4 raw material refining device, in particular to a device for improving the heat exchange efficiency of a feed preheater of a C4 reaction unit. Background Art

[0002] As a key petroleum resource, C4 liquefied gas plays an increasingly important role in chemical production. Comprehensive utilization pathways for C4 are also expanding. The synthesis of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) from isobutylene, a C4 hydrocarbon, with methanol is currently the primary C4 utilization method in China. The primary purpose of the isomerization unit in a C4 plant is to convert n-butene in the feedstock into isobutylene. The n-butene isomerization reaction is slightly exothermic, with an optimal reaction temperature range of 260-400°C. To meet the isomerization temperature requirements, the C4 feedstock must be heated. Currently, C4 plants utilize a cylindrical isomerization furnace (H-6301) with convection, fueled by self-produced non-condensable gas, to heat the feedstock to the reactor's normal reaction temperature. Directly feeding the ambient temperature liquid C4 feedstock into the furnace results in high fuel gas usage and significantly increases olefin losses in the fuel gas. This not only increases the plant's operating costs but also potentially impacts the normal operation of the distillation column, posing a risk to product quality. Utility Model Content
