The invention provides a replacement
vacuum pressure swing adsorption
ethylene recovery system and method based on molecular sieves, the
system comprises a plurality of adsorption towers which are connected, the adsorption towers are filled with
molecular sieve adsorbents, the bottoms of the adsorption towers are connected with a feeding pipeline, an
ethylene discharging pipeline and a replacement pipeline, the feeding pipeline is connected with feed gas, and the
ethylene discharging pipeline is connected with the replacement pipeline. The ethylene
discharge pipeline and the replacement pipeline are both connected with the ethylene product
buffer tank, and the top of the adsorption
tower is connected with a residual gas
discharge pipeline; ethylene can be efficiently recovered by adopting the
molecular sieve adsorbent, high-purity ethylene can be obtained by combining with reasonable step sequence setting, and a high ethylene
recovery rate is kept; ethylene is recycled through replacement
vacuum pressure swing adsorption, and the method is low in
energy consumption, simple in technological process, convenient to operate and maintain and low in
investment cost; the purity of ethylene is guaranteed through the replacement step, meanwhile, vacuum is added, ethylene can be recycled to a greater extent, it is guaranteed that precious resources are not wasted, meanwhile, the
circular economy concept is met, and cyclic utilization of the resources is achieved.
