    摘要: A closed-loop mixed refrigerant cycle provides efficient low-level refrigeration for recovering ethylene from a mixed gas feed. Compressed mixed refrigerant vapor is condensed at -20.degree. F. to -50.degree. F. and is subcooled to -175.degree. F. to -225.degree. F. by indirect heat exchange with cold H.sub.2, methane, and expander streams from elsewhere in the ethylene plant. A portion of the subcooled refrigerant may be flashed to provide additional subcooling of the main mixed refrigerant stream. Subcooled mixed refrigerant is subsequently flashed to provide very low temperature level refrigeration for feed condensation and demethanizer overhead condenser duties.

    摘要: Olefins are recovered from thermally cracked gas or fluid catalytic cracking off gas by cooling the gas to condense a portion of the hydrocarbons, removing hydrogen from the noncondensed gas, and condensing the remaining hydrocarbons in a cold condensing zone using a dephlegmator which operates above about -166.degree. F. This mode of operation minimizes the amount of methane in the condensate which is further processed in demethanizer column(s) and permits the condensation of ethylene at warmer temperatures than possible using a partial condenser in the cold condensing zone. The use of a dephlegmator at temperatures above about -166.degree. F. minimizes or eliminates the formation and accumulation of unstable nitrogen compounds in the ethylene recovery system. Hydrogen is removed from the noncondensed gas in a process selected from polymeric membrane permeation, adsorptive membrane permeation, or pressure swing adsorption.

    摘要: The invention provides a liquids recovery process useful for the separation and recovery of C.sub.3.sup.+ liquid hydrocarbons from gas mixtures containing high concentrations of lighter components such as are produced by the dehydrogenation of liquefied petroleum gases or by the catalytic cracking of heavy oils. The recovery process employs an absorption refrigeration cycle to supply high level refrigeration to the process; the absorption cycle utilizes low pressure steam or a heated fluid derived from secondary heat recovery of a process flue gas to effect heating in the absorption refrigeration cycle.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for cooling a multicomponent gas stream containing variable amounts of the components by passing the gas stream through a heat exchange relationship with a fluid coolant stream so that carry-up of the condensed phase is maintained without condensed phase backmixing over the compositional range of the multicomponent gas stream. The gas stream is cooled by passing it through a cold-end up heat exchanger having a serpentine pathway for the multicomponent gas stream comprising a series of horizontal passes separated by horizontal dividers and alternatingly connected by turnaround passes at each end, the cross-sectional area of at least one horizontal pass nearer the cold-end being less than the cross-sectional area of a horizontal pass nearer the warm-end. The method is particularly applicable to cooling a natural gas feed stream having a variable nitrogen content in a nitrogen rejection process.

    摘要: Refrigeration is provided in an ethylene recovery plant by an open-loop mixed refrigeration cycle which utilizes components present in the ethylene-containing feed gas as the mixed refrigerant. Refrigeration is provided by subcooled mixed refrigerant at -175.degree. to -225.degree. F. for the demethanizer overhead condenser and for initial cooling and condensation of the ethylene-containing feed gas. Overall ethylene recoveries of up to 99.9% can be achieved at reduced power consumption compared with conventional ethylene recovery cycles. In addition, significant capital savings can be realized due to the simplification of equipment with the open-loop mixed refrigerant cycle, which can be operated advantageously at pressures between 150 and 400 psia.
