The invention relates to a two-
tower type process for distilling vacuum
tar and a device thereof. The process comprises the following steps: removing the
moisture and light oil distillate of raw
tar in a pre-
dehydration tower and a
dehydration tower at normal pressure; performing decompressing operations in a No.1
distillation tower to obtain carbolic oil,
naphthalene oil and light washing oil distillate; and performing decompressing operations in a No.2
distillation tower to obtain heavy washing oil, first
anthracene oil, second
anthracene oil and mid-temperature
pitch. The heat for the pre-
dehydration tower and the dehydration tower is supplied by
heat conducting oil; the heat for the No.1
distillation tower is supplied by heating the mixed oil on the bottom of the tower circularly in a No.1 tubular
heating furnace; and the heat for the No.2 distillation tower is supplied by heating the mixed oil on the bottom of the No.1 distillation tower in a No.2 tubular
heating furnace and then performing flash distillation on the mixed oil on the bottom of the No.2 tower. The main devices comprise the dehydration tower, the No.1 distillation tower, the No.2 distillation tower, a dehydration tower
reboiler, the No.1 tubular
heating furnace, the No.2 tubular heating furnace, a
heat exchanger for each distillate, a cooler, a steam generator and the like. The process has the advantages of short technological flow, less device investment, and less
energy consumption, thus the process is applicable to large scale
coal tar processing engineering.
