TABLE 1 associated gas composition table
As shown in Table 1, the pretreatment system separates by cutting CH4S methyl mercaptan and I-C5 isopentane as demarcation points, because according to the experimental results, ethanethiol can also be treated in gas phase desulfurization, but after ethanethiol is cut, more than five heavy hydrocarbons enter the gas phase desulfurization treatment system for a while, which can cause a series of problems that the gas phase desulfurization system 5 foams seriously and heavy hydrocarbon loss is large, so that CH4S methyl mercaptan and I-C5 isopentane are used as demarcation points for cutting. The associated gas cut by the pretreatment system is divided into gas-phase substances to be desulfurized and liquid-phase substances to be desulfurized, and the gas-phase substances and the liquid-phase substances to be desulfurized respectively enter the gas-phase desulfurization system 5 and the liquid-phase desulfurization system 6 for desulfurization treatment.
The gas-phase desulfurization system 5 is used for desulfurizing the gas-phase substances to be desulfurized obtained after the pretreatment system;
the liquid-phase desulfurization system 6 is used for desulfurizing the liquid-phase to-be-desulfurized substances obtained after the pretreatment system;
the pretreatment system comprises a pretreatment rectifying tower 1, gas-liquid separation of gas-phase substances to be desulfurized is realized through the pretreatment rectifying tower 1, the gas-phase substances to be desulfurized enter a gas-phase desulfurization system 5 through an outlet at the top of the pretreatment rectifying tower 1, and the liquid-phase substances to be desulfurized flow into a liquid-phase desulfurization system 6 through an outlet at the bottom of the pretreatment rectifying tower 1 under the pressurization of a pump.

The traditional liquid phase desulfurization system 6 alone is adopted, so that solid waste is more and cannot be regenerated, and after the pretreatment rectifying tower 1 is adopted for cutting, a large amount of sulfur enters the gas phase desulfurization system 5 through the gas phase, so that the treatment load of the liquid phase desulfurization system 6 is small, and the solid waste treatment in the later stage is also greatly reduced.

As a preferable technical scheme, the pretreatment system further comprises a gas-liquid separation reflux tank 3 and a pretreatment rectifying tower top condenser 4, wherein the gas-liquid separation reflux tank 3 is arranged at the top of the pretreatment rectifying tower 1, and the gas-liquid separation reflux tank 3 is used for collecting liquid phase substances condensed after gas phase substances to be desulfurized pass through the pretreatment rectifying tower top condenser 4.
As a preferred technical scheme, the pretreatment system further comprises a pretreatment rectifying tower bottom heat exchanger 2 arranged at the bottom of the pretreatment rectifying tower 1 and used for cooling the high-temperature liquid phase to-be-desulfurized substance output from the pretreatment rectifying tower 1.
As a preferred technical scheme, the pretreatment system further comprises a reboiler 8 arranged at the bottom of the pretreatment rectifying tower 1 and responsible for providing heat source for the pretreatment rectifying tower 1.
As a preferable technical scheme, the gas-phase desulfurization system 5 is an amine desulfurization system, and specifically, the desulfurizing agent in the amine desulfurization system comprises the following components in percentage by mass:
30-40% of Methyldiethanolamine (MDEA)

The balance of water.
Preferably, the desulfurizing agent in the amine desulfurization system comprises the following components in percentage by mass:
the MDEA and DEA are used for removing inorganic sulfur, and triethylamine phosphate is added as an activating agent, so that the removal efficiency is improved, in the desulfurization process, hydrogen sulfide is in a gas phase, the desulfurization effect is poor if the hydrogen sulfide cannot enter a liquid phase, and after DEA is subjected to enhanced activation by compounding the triethylamine phosphate, the hydrogen sulfide can break through a gas film more easily to enter a liquid film to react with the amine liquid, and in addition, small-molecule organic sulfur can be effectively removed through sulfolane.
As a preferable technical scheme, the dosage of the desulfurizing agent is as follows: gas phase to-be-desulfurized substance: desulfurizing agent=500 to 1400Nm 3 /m 3 Preferably, the desulfurizing agent is used in the following amount: desulfurizing agent=800-900 Nm of gas phase to-be-desulfurized substance 3 /m 3 。

As a preferred embodiment, the liquid-phase desulfurization system 6 is a dry desulfurization system. Heavy hydrocarbons with less than five carbon atoms and macromolecular organic sulfur are removed by the pretreatment system through a dry adsorption desulfurization technology, and a large amount of hydrogen sulfide in associated gas is separated through gas phase, so that only a small amount of macromolecular organic sulfur is removed, the operation period of the dry desulfurization system is long, and the solid waste is less. The dry adsorption desulfurization adopts modified zeolite adsorption, because thiophene and more than five organic sulfur than other cyclic organic sulfur and carbon are difficult to remove in the process, and meanwhile, the organic sulfur is difficult to react with strong alkali.
The high pressure is favorable for adsorption, but the effect is not increased after the pressure exceeds a certain amount of data, and the adsorption pressure of the dry desulfurization system is preferably 800-1200KPa, and the adsorption temperature is preferably 15-45 ℃. The lower the adsorption temperature is in the adsorption process, the better the adsorption effect is, and the higher the temperature of the liquid phase to be desulfurized matters flowing out of the pretreatment rectifying tower 1 is, the higher the temperature is than the optimal adsorption temperature, so that the bottom of the pretreatment rectifying tower is provided with the heat exchanger 2 at the bottom of the tower, and the liquid phase to be desulfurized enters the adsorber after being cooled.
The adsorbent is used in the adsorption process in an amount of 5-15 wt% and the adsorption capacity is optimal in an amount of 8-10 wt%, i.e. the raw material contains 8g of organic sulfur, and more than 100g of adsorbent is needed to be prepared.
The optimal liquid space velocity in the adsorption process is 0.01-0.1m/s, preferably 0.01-0.03m/s (space velocity is the ratio of the liquid volume flow divided by the interfacial surface, and the area is the diameter area of the adsorber, regardless of the condition of filling the adsorbent). The nitrogen with the temperature of 200 ℃ is adopted for regeneration, the flow rate of the nitrogen in the regeneration process is controlled to be 6-8m/s, the regeneration pressure is 120-150KPa, after 3.5 hours of regeneration, the temperature of the adsorption system is reduced by adopting normal-temperature nitrogen, and the temperature is reduced for 0.5 hour to be switched to the next adsorption period.
Because the heavy hydrocarbon is various alkane, alkene, cycloalkane and other substances, all are hydrocarbon, the heavy hydrocarbon is a weak polar or nonpolar compound, all organic sulfur, whether oxygen-containing organic sulfur and oxygen-free organic sulfur, can lead to very strong polarity of the substances, in order to make the adsorption process selective, the invention creatively carries out modification and passivation on the basis of the traditional 13X molecular sieve, so that the adsorption capacity for sulfur and oxygen after modification is stronger, the adsorption capacity for nonpolar and weak polar substances is basically not realized, preferably, the adsorbent of the dry desulfurization system is the 13X molecular sieve, and the 13X molecular sieve is soaked in Si (OC 2H 5) 4 for 15 hours, specifically, the 13X molecular sieve is soaked in 8 percent Si (OC 2H 5) 4 for 15 hours, then is dried at 120 ℃, is soaked in 10 percent copper nitrate for 12 hours, is dried at normal temperature, and finally is baked at 450 ℃ for 2 hours, and the finished product is prepared.
