Abstract

Proceso y aparato para la recuperacion de propano, propileno y componentes de hidrocarburos más pesados de una corriente de gas de hidrocarburos en un conjunto de tratamiento compacto. Dicho proceso comprende enfriar la corriente de gas, expandirla a menor presion, y suministrarla como la alimentacion por el fondo a un medio de absorcion dentro del conjunto de tratamiento. Luego, recolectar una primera corriente de líquido destilado de la region inferior del medio de absorcion y suministrarla como alimentacion por la parte superior a un medio de transferencia de masa dentro del conjunto de tratamiento. De la region superior del medio de transferencia de masa recolectar una primera corriente de vapor de destilacion y enfriarla lo suficiente como para condensarla por lo menos parcialmente, formando una corriente de vapor residual y una corriente de condensado. Suministrar la corriente de condensado como la alimentacion por la parte superior al medio de absorcion. Recolectar una segunda corriente de vapor de destilacion de la region superior del medio de absorcion y dirigirla al interior de uno o más medios intercambiadores de calor que están dentro del conjunto de tratamiento para calentarla a la vez que se enfría la primera corriente de vapor de destilacion. Combinar a la segunda corriente de vapor de destilacion calentada con toda la corriente de vapor residual y dirigir a la corriente combinada al interior de los uno o más medios intercambiadores de calor que están dentro del conjunto de tratamiento para calentarla a la vez que se enfría la corriente de gas. Recolectar una segunda corriente de líquido destilado de la region inferior del medio de transferencia de masa y dirigirla al interior de un medio de transferencia de masa y calor que está dentro del conjunto de tratamiento para calentarla y separar sus componentes volátiles por destilacion por arrastre con vapor. Las cantidades y temperaturas de las alimentaciones del medio de absorcion son efectivas para mantener la temperatura de la region superior del medio de absorcion en una temperatura a la cual las principales porciones de los componentes deseados se recuperan en la segunda corriente de líquido destilado sometida a agotamiento.Process and apparatus for the recovery of propane, propylene and heavier hydrocarbon components from a stream of hydrocarbon gas in a compact treatment set. Said process comprises cooling the gas stream, expanding it at a lower pressure, and supplying it as the bottom feed to an absorption medium within the treatment set. Then, collect a first stream of distilled liquid from the lower region of the absorption medium and supply it as a feed from the top to a mass transfer medium within the treatment set. From the upper region of the mass transfer medium, collect a first stream of distillation steam and cool it sufficiently to condense it at least partially, forming a residual vapor stream and a condensate stream. Supply the condensate stream as the feed from the top to the absorption medium. Collect a second stream of distillation steam from the upper region of the absorption medium and direct it into one or more heat exchange means that are within the treatment set for heating while cooling the first stream of distillation steam . Combine the second stream of heated distillation steam with all the residual steam stream and direct the combined stream into the one or more heat exchanger means that are within the treatment set to heat it while cooling the heat. gas stream Collect a second stream of distilled liquid from the lower region of the mass transfer medium and direct it into a mass and heat transfer medium that is within the treatment set to heat it and separate its volatile components by steam drag distillation . The quantities and temperatures of the feeds of the absorption medium are effective to maintain the temperature of the upper region of the absorption medium at a temperature at which the main portions of the desired components are recovered in the second stream of distilled liquid subjected to depletion .
