摘要:
A process for extracting a condensable vapor from a supplied gas, comprising the steps of: i) condensing the condensable vapor by cooling the supplied gas at a condensing surface, such that the supplied gas is divided into at least one condensed fraction and a product gas; while ii) removing the at least one condensed fraction from the condensing surface by mechanical scraping means.

A transfer line between the outlet of a steam cracker and the inlet for the quench system has metallic or ceramic inserts having a pore size from about 0.001 to about 0.5 microns inside the line forming a gas tight barrier with the inner surface of the line and having a vent for the resulting gas tight pocket are used to separate H2, CH4, CO and CO2 from cracked gases reducing the load on the down-stream separation train of the steam cracker.

A method for the production of stabilized crude oil, the method comprising the steps of: providing a stream of crude oil; injecting steam into said stream and so stripping C3− from said stream; providing a gas stream; extracting C4+ from the gas stream, and so; producing a stream from the extracted C4+; co-mingling the stripped stream with the C4+ stream, and so; producing a stream of stabilized crude oil.

The invention is a process for reducing capital and energy costs in ethylene recovery. Moderate pressure processing and thermally coupled fractionation steps are achieved through the use of integrator columns. Ethylene separation from cracked gas originating from ethane through gas oil feeds can now be done with thermodynamically efficient fractionation at capital cost competitive with low efficiency designs. Acetylene hydrogenation may be done before demethanization where desired, and dephlegmation is preferred to accomplish high-efficiency rectification of hydrogen and methane from ethylene. Open loop heat pumps can optionally be incorporated into the ethane/ethylene splitter fractionation step, whose desirability is controlled by optimization of capital and energy costs.

The invention relates to a process for the recovery of low molecular weight C.sub.2+ hydrocarbons, in particular ethylene and ethane from a cracking gas, in particular from a fluid catalytic cracking waste gas. In accordance with the invention the light C.sub.2+ hydrocarbons are scrubbed out of the cracking gas by absorption, using an organic, preferably paraffinic, physically acting scrubbing agent, the scrubbing agent having a molecular weight of between 50 and 75 g/mol, preferably between 60 and 75 g/mol. Particularly suitable as scrubbing agents are pentane, isopentane or mixtures thereof. Prior to the generation of the loaded scrubbing agent, co-extracted methane is advantageously stripped off.
摘要:
A cryogenic technique for recovering pure products from a mixture of at least three close-boiling components. A preferred process is provided for separating a hydrocarbon mixture containing an alkene (i.e. ethene or propene), corresponding alkane having the same number of carbon atoms and at least one heavier hydrocarbon component. The improved process comprises: feeding the hydrocarbon mixture to a first distillation tower having an upper reflux stage; recovering a first overhead vapor stream rich in alkene and alkane from the first distillation tower and passing the first overhead vapor stream to a middle distillation stage of a second multi-stage distillation tower; recovering a second overhead vapor stream rich in alkene from the second distillation tower; adiabatically compressing the alkene-rich vapor stream and passing the compressed vapor to a second distillation tower reboiler stage. This provides a heat pump for cooling and condensing the compressed vapor and heating a liquid reboiler stream. Pressure in the alkene stream is reduced by flashing cooled and condensed vapor from the reboiler stage to provide a partially vaporized flashed mixture stream rich in alkene, followed by recovering and separating the flashed mixture stream to provide recovering a liquid portion and vapor portion. The liquid portion is passed to a second distillation tower reflux stage and a pure alkene stream is recovered.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus for the largest recovery of ethylene and propylene from gas produced by the pyrolysis of hydrocarbons, wherein any liquid current produced by the fractional condensation of the raw gas up to a definite temperature is directly fed to an ethane fractionating column (deethanizer) the bottom product of which is the purified current containing almost all propylene, while any current condensed at lower temperature is fed to a methane separating column (demethanator) provided with a reboiler in which the partial condensation of the overhead vapor of the deethanizer occurs, and the bottom product of the demethanator contains all ethylene.
