AN IMPROVED PROCESS FOR RECOVERY OF PROPYLENE AND LPG FROM FCC FUEL GAS USING STRIPPED MAIN COLUMN OVERHEAD DISTILLATE AS ABSORBER OIL
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for enhanced recovery of propylene and LPG from the fuel gas produced in Fluid catalytic cracking unit by contacting a heavier hydrocarbon feed with FCC catalyst. In the conventional process, the product mixture from FCC main column overhead comprising naphtha, LPG and fuel gas, are first condensed and gravity separated to produce unstabilized naphtha, which is subsequently used in the absorber to absorb propylene and LPG from fuel gas. However, the recovery of propylene beyond 97 wt% is difficult in this process since unstabilized naphtha already contains propylene of 5 mol% or above. In the present invention, C4 and lighter components from unstabilized naphtha are first stripped off in a separate column to obtain a liquid fraction almost free from propylene (
