Definitions
- the present invention relates to the technique for recovering the heaviest hydrocarbons from a gas mixture. It relates more particularly to a process for recovering the heaviest hydrocarbons from a gaseous mixture further containing lighter constituents including hydrogen, in particular for the recovery of LPG (C3+) from a residual gas from an oil refinery.
- the object of the invention is to provide a clearly more economical method eliminating all these drawbacks.
- the method according to the invention is characterized in that: - part of the hydrogen is removed from the mixture; the remaining mixture is introduced at an intermediate level of a distillation column comprising a top condenser which provides reflux in the column, this condenser being cooled by a cooling device capable of providing a cold temperature TF of the order of -40 ° C or higher than this value; and the hydrogen content of said remaining mixture is determined so that the dew point, at column pressure, of the fraction of this remaining mixture constituted by said lighter constituents is greater than the temperature TF but close to it .
- the partial elimination of the hydrogen is carried out by permeation.
- this elimination partial hydrogen is carried out by PSA adsorption (Pressure Swing Adsorption), said remaining mixture being constituted by the residual gas from this adsorption and being compressed before being introduced into the column, the composition of said remaining mixture being optionally adjusted by permeation.
- PSA adsorption Pressure Swing Adsorption
- the invention also relates to an installation intended for the implementation of such a method.
- This installation is characterized in that it includes: - means for removing part of the hydrogen from the mixture, providing a remaining mixture; and a distillation column supplied with this remaining mixture and comprising a top condenser which provides reflux in the column, this condenser being cooled by a cooling device capable of providing a cold temperature TF of the order of -40 ° C or greater than this value; the means for partial elimination of hydrogen being adapted so that the fraction of said remaining mixture constituted by said lighter constituents has, at column pressure, a dew point above the temperature TF but close to it.
- an oil refinery waste gas of the following typical composition is treated: 74% H2, 12.2% C1, 9.5% C2, 2.7% C3, 1.6% C4 +, as well as traces of benzene compounds and water, in order to recover LPG (C3+).
- the gas to be treated is introduced at 31 bars, via a line 1, into the high-pressure space of a permeator 2.
- the permeate forming approximately two-thirds of the initial flow rate and consisting of hydrogen at a purity of 98 to 99% is removed from the permeator at low pressure under a few bars, via a line 3.
- the residue from the permeation containing almost all of the hydrocarbons, has the following composition: 21.3% H2, 36.7% C1, 28.9% C2, 8.2% C3, 4.9% C4+, as well as traces of benzene compounds and water.
- This residue is dried in a desiccator 4, then cooled in a heat exchanger. indirect heat 5, then introduced at about 30 bars at an intermediate level of a distillation column 6.
- the column 6 is equipped in the tank with a reboiler 7 operating at approximately 100 ° C, and at the head of a condenser 8 operating at approximately -40 ° C and refrigerated by a cooling device 9 consisting of a refrigeration unit, for example in "Freon", on one floor.
- the overhead vapor of the column is partially condensed by the condenser 8 and then separated into a vapor phase and a liquid phase in a phase separator 10.
- the vapor phase contains almost all of the hydrogen, methane and ethane contained in the permeation residue, and is discharged via a pipe 11 as waste gas from the installation after having cooled the heat exchanger 5.
- the liquid phase is returned to reflux at the top of the column 6.
- the LPG are drawn off in the column tank by a line 12.
- the residue from the permeation contains a quantity of light hydrocarbons C1 and C2 imposed by the composition of the starting gas. Its hydrogen content is determined by an appropriate dimensioning of the permeator 2, so that the mixture of these light hydrocarbons and hydrogen (that is to say in practice the waste gas) has, at the pressure of the column 6, a dew point slightly higher than the coldest temperature which the condenser 8 can reach with a refrigeration unit 9 with a single stage, ie approximately -40 ° C.
- the upper part of column 6 performs an almost perfect elimination of hydrogen by washing, so that the only loss of LPG is that which occurs in the permeator 2.
- the minimum compatible with a refrigeration unit 9 with a single stage is kept the amount of hydrogen eliminated by permeation, and therefore the loss of LPG. In practice, it is found that this loss can be made negligible, so that the extraction efficiency of LPG is close to 100%.
- the benzene compounds in the starting gas have no drawbacks and are simply found in the LPG produced.
- the desiccator 4 can possibly be dispensed with.
- FIG. 2 differs from that of FIG. 1 only by the treatment of the gas upstream of the heat exchanger 5. It is particularly suitable when it is desired to produce very pure hydrogen, for example intended to electronic applications.
- the starting gas is firstly treated by PSA adsorption (Pressure Swing Adsorption) in a 2A adsorption device, which removes about the same amount of hydrogen as before.
- PSA adsorption Pressure Swing Adsorption
- the remaining mixture consisting of the waste gas from the device 2A, is available at a low pressure typically close to atmospheric pressure. It is recompressed to around 30 bars by a compressor 13, then cooled in the exchanger 5, then introduced into the column 6 as before.
- the invention can be applied to other cases of recovery of heavy hydrocarbons.
- it is possible to recover only the C4+s by choosing the pressure of the column and the hydrogen content of the mixture introduced into this column so that the dew point of the mixture H2 , C1, C2 and C3 constituting the waste gas of the column is greater than -40 ° C; we will choose a cooling device 9 adapted to this temperature, this device possibly being constituted by a simple circulation of water at room temperature.
