Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a liquefied petroleum gas processing technical field, concretely relates to a device for removing organic sulfur in liquefied petroleum gas. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous increase of high-sulfur crude oil processing capacity in China, the gas components produced in the oil refining process, especially various sulfur compounds in liquefied petroleum gas, are also increasing. In addition to hydrogen sulfide, there are also organic sulfur such as mercaptan, sulfide, carbonyl sulfur and disulfide. The presence of these sulfur compounds will cause corrosion to the equipment during the subsequent processing of liquefied petroleum gas, and will cause catalyst poisoning; when liquefied petroleum gas is used as fuel, sulfur oxides will be produced, forming acid rain and polluting the environment. Therefore, desulfurization of liquefied petroleum gas has both economic benefits and environmental protection significance.

[0003] The patent document with the authorized publication number CN108070416B discloses a liquefied petroleum gas adsorption desulfurization process, which uses a fixed bed reactor. At least two fixed bed reactors are provided. First, the liquefied petroleum gas is sent into the fixed bed reactor filled with adsorbent for adsorption desulfurization reaction. When the adsorbent reaches the adsorption saturation state, the liquefied petroleum gas is switched to another fixed bed reactor filled with adsorbent for continuous adsorption desulfurization reaction, and hydrogen is introduced into the fixed bed reactor that has reached adsorption saturation for regeneration. The fixed bed reactors are all filled with adsorbent, and the adsorbent includes adsorbent A and adsorbent B. The volume ratio of adsorbent A to adsorbent B is 0.1-10. Two kinds of adsorbents are needed during the liquefied petroleum gas adsorption desulfurization process. Most of the existing fixed bed reactors have only one chamber for containing adsorbent. If the two kinds of adsorbents are mixed in one chamber, it is inconvenient to classify and recover the two kinds of adsorbents.

[0004] The patent document with the publication number CN203469967U discloses an adiabatic composite fixed bed reactor for deoxidation of oxygen-containing coal bed gas. The inner cylinder and the secondary reaction chamber are independently provided and can place two different adsorbents, facilitating classification and recovery of different adsorbents. However, the gas path of the fixed bed reactor is long, and it is not suitable for desulfurization of liquefied petroleum gas with low organic sulfur content. When regenerating the adsorbent, the hydrogen flow path is long, which is not convenient for rapid regeneration of the adsorbent. Furthermore, the existing part of the fixed bed reactor cannot uniformly heat the adsorbent, and the desulfurization efficiency is low. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
