AI Technical Summary
The existing process for producing isobutylene by butene isomerization is energy-intensive, complex, involves many pieces of equipment, and has discontinuous and unflexible adjustment capabilities.
An energy-saving optimization system is adopted, including a reaction system, a gas-liquid separator, a compressor, and a separation system. The cooler is eliminated, and a high-temperature centrifugal compressor is used to simplify the process. The reaction products are directly fed into the compressor for pressurization, reducing the consumption of cooling water and steam.
It reduces the consumption of cooling water and steam, saves energy, simplifies the production process, improves the stability and continuity of operation of the system, and reduces energy consumption.
