    摘要: A method comprises separating a hydrocarbon feed stream having carbon dioxide into a heavy hydrocarbon stream and a light hydrocarbon stream. The light hydrocarbon stream is separated into a carbon dioxide-rich stream and a carbon dioxide-lean stream. At least a portion of the carbon dioxide-lean stream is fed to a hydrocarbon sweetening process. Another method comprises receiving a hydrocarbon feed stream that comprises 30 molar percent to 80 molar percent carbon dioxide. A heavy hydrocarbon stream is separated from the hydrocarbon feed stream, wherein the heavy hydrocarbon stream comprises at least 90 molar percent C3+ hydrocarbons. A carbon dioxide-rich stream is separated from the hydrocarbon feed stream, wherein the carbon dioxide-rich stream comprises at least 95 molar percent carbon dioxide.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for separating a hydrocarbon mixture (C), which is obtained at least in part by steam cracking (10) and which contains at least hydrocarbons having one, two and three carbon atoms, including ethane and ethylene, a first fraction (C2+, C2−) initially being obtained from the hydrocarbon mixture (C) by separating off other components at least in part, said fraction containing the predominant part of the hydrocarbons having two or more carbon atoms previously contained in the hydrocarbon mixture (C) or the predominant part of the hydrocarbons having two or fewer carbon atoms previously contained in the hydrocarbon mixture (C), further fractions (C1, C2, C2H4, C3+, C2H6) subsequently being obtained from the first fraction (C2+, C2−). A fraction (R, S) containing ethane is separated off, in parallel with or downstream from the at least partial separation of the other components from the hydrocarbon mixture (C), in an amount which reduces the ethane content in the first fraction (C2+, C2−) to less than 25%, the fraction (R, S) containing ethane being low in or free from other hydrocarbons having two carbon atoms. The present invention further relates to a separation system (30), to a corresponding steam cracking system and to a method for retrofitting a steam cracking system.

    摘要: A process for the recovery of ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene and heavier hydrocarbon components from a hydrocarbon gas stream is disclosed. In recent years, the preferred method of separating a hydrocarbon gas stream generally includes supplying at least portions of the gas stream to a fractionation tower having at least one reboiler, and often one or more side reboilers, to supply heat to the column by withdrawing and heating some of the tower liquids to produce stripping vapors that separate the more volatile components from the desired components. The reboiler and side reboilers (if any) are typically integrated into the feed stream cooling scheme to provide at least a portion of the refrigeration needed to condense the desired components for subsequent fractionation in the distillation column. In the process disclosed, the tower reboiling scheme is modified to use one or more tower liquid distillation streams from a point higher in the column than is used in the conventional reboiling scheme, providing colder stream(s) for the reboiler(s) that allow more effective cooling of the feed streams and thereby improve the efficiency with which the desired components are recovered. In addition, the tower liquid streams withdrawn from a higher point in the column contain larger quantities of the more volatile components, which when vaporized provide better stripping of undesirable components like carbon dioxide without reducing the recovery of the desired components. The heated distillation stream is returned to a lower point on the fractionation tower that is separated from the withdrawal point by at least one theoretical stage.

    摘要: A hydrocarbon stream is cracked to produce a hot gaseous stream which is compressed and cooled to condense almost all of the hydrocarbons contained in the stream. A noncondensed stream remaining after the condensation step, comprised predominantly of hydrogen and C.sub.1 to C.sub.3 hydrocarbons, is subjected to pressure swing adsorption or temperature swing adsorption at an adsorption temperature of about 0.degree. to about 250.degree. C. in a bed of adsorbent which selectively adsorbs ethylene and propylene, thereby adsorbing substantially all of the ethylene and propylene from the gas stream. The ethylene and/or propylene is recovered upon bed regeneration.

    摘要: A safe, effective, and economical method is provided for recovering olefins from cat-cracked gases without accumulating dangerous amounts of nitrogen oxides. A stream of cat-cracked gas first is scrubbed to remove acid gases, including nitrogen dioxide (NO.sub.2), and then is passed through a depropanizer fractionation tower. Hydrocarbons having four or more carbon atoms are recovered in the bottoms of the depropanizer, and the overhead from the depropanizer--which is composed of hydrocarbons having three or fewer carbon atoms--is sent to an absorber demethanizer tower. Hydrocarbons having two or more carbon atoms are recovered in the bottoms from the absorber demethanizer tower, where temperatures are no lower than about -45.56.degree. C. (-50.degree. F.) The overhead from the absorber demethanizer tower--which is composed of methane, hydrogen, and trace amounts of nitrogen oxide, C.sub.2, and absorbent (C.sub.3)--then is chilled to condense and recover trace amounts of C.sub.2 and heavier gases, including trace amounts of the C.sub.3 absorbent, at temperatures of about -101.11.degree. C. (-150.degree. F.) or higher. Thus, recovery of desired hydrocarbons from the cat-cracked gas is conducted at temperatures that are high enough to prevent the oxidation of nitric oxide (NO) to form nitrogen dioxide (NO.sub.2) and high enough to prevent the accumulation of unwanted nitrogen oxides.
